Agreed, but the fact that it doesn't bend back towards the exterior of the ring suggests that there is a much more massive object below the frame in order to keep pulling it down like that.The dispersal of the water vapor from the waterfall seems to indicate that the atmospheric environment extends beyond and below the confines of the ring.
It's never really bothered me. This has led to amusing situations where people try to erect a "privacy bubble" by bringing up an uncomfortable topic in the hopes that peripheral listeners will move away, but instead all it does is bring me over because I'm genuinely interested in joining the conversation.Nothing clears a room faster than talk of "feminine hygiene."

...I realize I'm bordering on Clement/Niven-level pickiness, here. I don't deduct points for doing this "artists-license" stuff, but boy, do I give extra points for people who try to remember to add that stuff in.

No. No no no NO NO NO NAAUUGHHAGHH.
I'm not sure if that was in response to me, or the photo discussion, but if it was mine...If I'm drawing something and I'm faced with the choice between accurate and visually interesting, the latter wins.
It's a turtle down there. A really, really large turtle. He's carrying Tubeworld on his back.Agreed, but the fact that it doesn't bend back towards the exterior of the ring suggests that there is a much more massive object below the frame in order to keep pulling it down like that.

It is a very impressive painting. Shame it is not a photograph.If I'm drawing something and I'm faced with the choice between accurate and visually interesting, the latter wins.
Po-tay-to po-tah-to[DOUBLEPOST=1399499546,1399499317][/DOUBLEPOST]Personally if I were advertising pads, I'd have the woman go off like a rocket, land on her back, and start spinning from the force of it until some technicians in level 4 CDC suits manage to bolt on my industrial strength pads. I'd have it be a surprise too. Like she's having stereotypical girl talk over coffee when the table starts rumbling lowly. Her eyes get wide, then PEW! Up she goes.I'm not sure if that was in response to me, or the photo discussion, but if it was mine...
I think you misunderstood. It was a commercial for maxi-pads, not mexi-food.Personally if I were advertising pads, I'd have the woman go off like a rocket, land on her back, and start spinning from the force of it until some technicians in level 4 CDC suits manage to bolt on my industrial strength pads.

But what's the turtle standing on?It's a turtle down there. A really, really large turtle. He's carrying Tubeworld on his back.

The turtle doesn't stand on anything, it swims.But what's the turtle standing on?
Eppur, si muove!The turtle doesn't stand on anything, it swims.
On the other hand, it could be more like this. There was an actual villain in Savage Dragon called Heavy Flo.Po-tay-to po-tah-to[DOUBLEPOST=1399499546,1399499317][/DOUBLEPOST]Personally if I were advertising pads, I'd have the woman go off like a rocket, land on her back, and start spinning from the force of it until some technicians in level 4 CDC suits manage to bolt on my industrial strength pads.
