    Thank you, Max! Thank you, Mystyry! It's about 9 inches long, 6 inches tall.

    I love your sculptures, Mystyry! Those rings look fantastic. If they were candy, I would eat them.

    Dancing rings look neat. The transparent sculptures have a lively appearance that reminds me of the aliens from the predator movies, when they become sort of semi-invisible and lurk their preys from among the trees... such mumbo jumbo to say I like it by means of a derailing mind making connections with movies

    It's great! I really like the water texture in the middle too - it seems to stand out more in the second photo. Was it difficult?

    Thanks again Max

    I picked a gloomy picture of somewhere's woods and tried to give it a more mystic aspect. The B.C. Rich Warlock ain't mine either, whereas my logo carvings on it, flames, and embers are



    When the embers fell
    The once damp went sere
    By a tune severe
    From a pyre's spell.

    Then the mirk crossed swords
    With a Warlock's flame,
    And the six-string dame
    Loudly scorched the hordes.

    Alas, the shames were tall!
    Till a pick struck fears
    In the deaf's dead ears...
    And their pride shrank small.

    The guitars are clipart I got during a virtual quest, which from top to bottom are a Jackson King V, a B.C. Rich Warlock, and a Dean VMNT Double Neck. The rest was done by Monsieur Maximilien (that would be me in French )



    'Tis the day of choice
    For the mute to choose:
    Be it mutely voiced,
    Be it soundly loose.

    The three in lament
    From the sphere below.
    All around lays bent
    But one straight to go.
    Twenty-four and tempest
    From the sphere below.
    Lo! They glide unplugged,
    And withal they glow!

    They all three, they aimed
    For a void unraveled.
    Three conjoined exclaimed,
    One exclaim has traveled.

    Hark their wistful throe!
    Lo! The plectrums shredding
    One last tune bestowed!

    Gosh! I have not been here for some days and have missed you all. Good to be back and find so many wonderful works.

    @ Monsieur Maximilien - The flaming guitars look magical. The dark woody background is mysterious, as if some unseen power is lurking in the shadows and is kept away by the magical embers and flames. And your poems are as fascinating as your art work mon ami.

    @ Varenne - I like the yellow submarine but the waves really won my heart. How nicely textured!

    @ MM - Which monsters inhabit that wondrous monster planet of yours? I'd like to see some vividly colored monsters too. And the green rings seem to whirl on an ocean floor. But the palm island is my favorite. Cool!

    Thank you all for sharing your beautiful works.

    I agree with Alien Girl Max - and thankyou both! Funny about choosing guitars Max - I was looking at some 3D models of them on Friday (couldn't find what I was looking for though - your pictures are far beyond than what I was considering so it's all good).

    I've done quite a few pikkies, but I'm too scared to upload anything because my internet's been totally flaky this past week: spent far more time getting 'can't connect' pages than things I want and need to see. (My phone's doing exactly the same thing so it's a network fault. Just posting this might going to take half an hour so... )

    That interpretation is quite the meaning I had intended to convey in the first place... I think you've been reading monsieur's mind merci, ma chérie

    Finding guitar pix with some depth has proved to be quite a feat, since most pix online are two-dimensional. However, after extensive searches I have found a few interesting pix, like the ones I used in the above posted pieces. My editions look similar to the originals I found, though oftentimes I have to kill backgrounds and change colors to suit my needs, and of course turning them into transparent PNGs allows for many more interesting creations. If you want I can pack and send them to you if you think they can be of some use to your purposes. I've also found a couple of TAMA Bubinga drum kits in transparent PNG, harpsichords, and cellos I'm planning to work on as soon as the tight schedule looses some of its weight. By the way, I got better results by googling specific models, like the ones I mentioned above

    I've seen that behavior in wireless services like the ones most of my classmates have. They often complain about being unable to keep a steady connection. I have a wired broadband that comes through my telephone line and although it's not very fast, it's stable almost always. I think wireless is much affected by climate conditions and other kinds of interference, though that's hereabouts, as I ignore how things operate up there. Anyway, on Friday I got my shoulder clapped by a US teacher who'll be staying with us for a while, and now I feel really international

    Lighting and shading give a certain mysterious touch. Good job!
