Croquet...you're right: they're missing the center white stripe :`)

What does the U.S. flag on top of a black flag mean?
And the world globe on the grass?
-
Tom, time to refill the meds?
-
Must be art.

Hmm. A black flag has been used to indicate: danger, piracy, threat, or that someone has died (predates flying flags at half-mast).
Not sure what the combination of all the elements are symbolizing, though.

Second to last does it for me, Tom. Is this a cumulative WIP or is it morphing freely? Thanks for posting!

Peter...if I understand your choices, I'll say: a bit of both. Some of the effects are saved as layers in PSP so I don't have to redo them, but the model is changing/morphing (as limited by the saved effects...sadly sometimes?) and new renders are taken; also, I've started adding more matte painting techniques from earlier renders, so morphing and accumulating that way as well.
I keep going back to the model at this point because I'm learning and enjoying Twilight, and because I am often surprised and more pleased by the lighting effects it captures over the ones I try to create in PSP. I've attached the last raw render below (base for the image above).
Some background: Pete(Solo) asked me the other day "what's with the chair popping up in the renders?" and explaining some about my MFA work (drawing and printmaking) got me itchin' to do another "painting". The chairs are personified, intented to be, impersonating without loading the image with all the gestural, expressional, and emotional baggage the human form carries with it, and also, more importantly, has projected on to it by each viewer. (I also freely admit I didn't then, and don't now, have the drawing skill to use it in such complicated imagery :`) I wanted the images themselves to convey the gesture, expression, and emotion.
To answer the questions: "What does this mean? What does that signify?" I will at this point only say that some of the stuff is metaphor, some of it is visual trickery, and some of the stuff is just stuff.
