...love the horse gown. it cut me off.

Yes, familiar style. I was borrowing the style from a player who is frequently reviled in the corpse discussions. While I don't particularly care for the technique, this opportunity presented itself and I wanted to give it a go.
Wonderful job on section 4!

Let's call it the "food processor style".

Yes, Shae - "Cuisin-art" I guess.

I've often wondered how I'd feel if Lilah had continued on from my slices using her signature "technique", and I must say I get a little relieved when i see that her(?) name doesn't follow mine on the lists page . I can see that jakedrews put some time and effort into creating some kind of a transition piece but I do feel a little disheartend.
The words "ripped off" and "cop out" come to mind.
I've read most of the comments pertaining to Lilah's contributions in the past and I can't see why anyone would want to try and simulate this technique seeing as most people find it unsuccessful as far as "blending" and "seamless" transitions go.
Each to their own, section 4 is beautiful, but i'm less than impressed by section 3. It's somewhat ironic that had jakedrews taken a more "traditional" approach to section 3, I may not have enjoyed section 4 as much as I did.
I consider a corpse successful when it looks as though it may have been created by the one artist. Needless to say; I don't find this corpse successful.

So now we've resorted to bashing Lilah in the discussions of corpses she played -no- personal part in. Honestly, I'm not surprised.

Nice, Jakedrews. Cuisin-art it is.
Shae at January 2, 2007 8:06 PM
How cool would it have been if that face in Jakedrews panel had been of Albert Hoffman? Unfortunately, it isn't and although it tickles at the memory, I have no idea who it is. Mendel?
As for his psuedo-lilah style, it didn't strike me as so until I read the comments and then it hit me like a brick. However, I think I might have missed it because of th e success of Ben's panel.
Not the greatest but a good effort nonetheless.

Freddy, I don't think I was Lilah-bashing. I may have been the first to actually mention her name but I think the the resemblance between her style and jakedrews's panel is unmistakable.
She obviously influenced jakedrews's panel, so I don't think it is unreasonable to comment on this controversial style of which Lilah is obviously the creator.
I re-read my post from before and it was fuelled by passion. I should have simply said that I don't like a hard edge seam, obviously others think it is effective in an exquisite corpse.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!
The artist pictured in my section is referenced in the section's title.
jakedrews at January 3, 2007 10:37 AM
kookyknut, I was referring in particular to your mentioning of your relief whenever Lilah isn't a part of corpses you work on. That might have been fine were Lilah a contributor on this corpse, but here I interpreted the remark as part of an unnecessary and distasteful snipe. To me, your total comment almost came off as "Jakedrews made good effort, but we can't forget that he copied Lilah, and by God do I hate having my hard work crapped on by that insufferable Lilah!"
However, I can see that wasn't exactly what you were going for, so ... let it be known that my snide remark is hereby respectfully withdrawn.
