Very cool Maya!

Thanks Frances!
That beachball Gare made has to be designed of some tough material to survive the lunar sunshine temperature of around 130 C and nighttime temp of -170 C.

I left that left side so as to not have that boxy squared off look Csehz, however have altered the right side to lose that blue slither I had left. Very moody we artists (ha ha ) That coffee cup is an old Photoshop tut. I did in Xara.

Well really it releases that closed boxy feeling so absolutely understanding, artists need freedom!

Ooops! I got the "collectors" shadow wrong. The shoulder shadow in the first image is behind the picture. This was bugging me so I corrected it and placed it on top.

I really like what you did Stygg. If I may, one small criticism, I noticed is that the girls shadow does not match angle of the shadows cast from the art on the walls not that it necessarily has too, and it seems too hard edged in comparison.
