Felicia, we've got a little linky graphic thingo there at the bottom of the navigation. Or are you talking about using the actual Corpse graphics? I don't really get upset about it, myself. In fact, some nut stuck up pretty much the entire output of this group on MetaBaby which kind of puzzles me. And I feel sorry for anyone on a modem who finds that page.

Soooooo good! I'm especially in love with the 1st three slices, with the translation of the facial contours into a glow-fall. The whole thing is just beautiful. Jocelyn's face looks like it's going to sneeze, being buried in Michael's (the email said Jessica's) sudden wall of flowers. It's a nice addition of tension at the end of this mostly languid piece.

Crap. First I screwed up the title on the last one and now I forget to change the credits on the email. I am so fired.

The first three as a whole are absolutely astounding! The fourth is beautiful in its own right, but it feels like more of a separate sentence in the same paragraph.

I must confess, the last part is the best part, in my mind. the combination of elements is just beautiful...scary, innocent, haunting. huzzah!

Interesting. Originally, I was going to have the jumping fish eating a dragonfly. Now I'm sorry I changed my mind.

I really like the transitioning in this one. They all seem to flow so well together, almost seamless.

Hey, we rock.

yes, that would have been very cool. let that be a lesson: always trust your first instinct.

Oh, GeekMan, that tickles me about the 'almost' dragonfly in yours. I had no idea what to do with what LaVonne gave me, so I decided to "wing it" and test this weirdness about reoccuring themes with one enormous bumblebee wing, and nothing for you to go on. So I guess I should have made it little bigger, eh?

I'm glad it all flows nicely, and I'm so glad I didn't transform what LaVonne sent me into flames, one thought of mine. I cry to think I almost started your son on fire, LaVonne! I enjoy the out-of-focus/in-focus overlap in the first 2 sections- Lord of the Flies comes into mind for some reason.

It totally rocks with all the different styles coming together in this one. Yippee!

This is truly beautiful. The gradation in complexity from top to bottom is wonderful. The way the shading on the large fish in the next-to-last panel picks up the eyebrows from the top is eerily lovely. The subtle colors at the bottom allow us to see the tree outlines as coral reefs and the cherub [?] as an unearthly scuba diver. Bravo to all!
