• Thanks everyone for the wonderful feedback regarding “Necropolis”. I’ve taken some of your suggestions and I’ve posted a new, nighttime version up on the new images page. The earlier, daytime version will stay and they will each go into respective day/night scenery galleries.

• This one definitely took longer than I intended. It was partly due to computer flakiness (see yesterday’s note), but you can also blame me obsessing over proper camera angles and atmosphere. Anyway, I’ve finally posted “Necropolis” on the new images page. There’s an alternate version available inside the Pickle Jar. I don’t think this image is quite done yet, and I would love to hear your thoughts about it (for example, which viewpoint to you prefer). At the very least I hope to not hear any complaints about it being too dark…

• I received some good news from my doctor yesterday. My diabetes appears to be in “complete remission” (his words). It looks like my changed diet and all the time I’ve spent in the gym has paid off. I feel so much healthier than I did a year ago.

  He told me as long as I watch my diet, get plenty of exercise, and check my blood sugar once a week, I shouldn’t have to worry. Sounds good to me. Thanks to everyone who expressed concern for my condition. As I said before, I’m going to be just fine.

• I’d planned on posting my new wallpaper this morning, but unfortunately I woke up to find that my computer had frozen overnight while rendering. I’ve restarted the render but it will take around 5 or 6 hours to complete. I should have it up this afternoon (fingers crossed!).

• I should have a new render ready to post sometime towards this end of this week. This one is going to take a little more time due to the amount of modeling required. I won’t divulge the theme now, besides to say that it has been oft requested. Stay tuned!

• I’ve added one last render of “Campfires” to the PickleJar, depicting the Earth and Moon.
