Contest 142: Behind bars
I was in Paris over Easter (yes, yes, I know, but I really like it there) and this time we rented an apartment in the Marais. The place itself was pretty good, but the stairway looked as if it hadn't been redecorated since the days of the Resistance.

Spotted this rather curious assemblage over one of the doorways. What on earth could it have been made to keep in? Or out?

High res is here.

That one could be fun. But I'm in Shanghai, and to my delight there is a computer in my room, with free broadband, but no photoshop.
Working on a chinese computer is fun... all messages are in chinese.
Only had one day in Shanghai so far, amazing city.

Welcome to Hell <insert echoey tone>

I made the flames myself - first time I've tried that!

Thanks Neal, The skeleton guy is from the bonus section that is on the CD with Steve's Book. I used parts from a couple different ones to get the pose I wanted. BTW, Good job on George's Beard!

Katew, your flames look great!

Michael, you really should invest in an exterminator.

Hey Dave,
I had already completed this when I first saw your skeleton.

Re: Contest 142: Behind bars
Hey Tom!... WOW! Awesome!

Do you know where I can find a tutorial on underwater scenes?
I have an idea for a project but I'm hesitant due to the lack of knowledge in creating a realistic underwater feel.

Anyway, real nice work!
