Ouch.  It's a nice image...BUT!

This is a contest for raytraced or rendered images only.  Your original
wireframe
might have been barely acceptable as a "rendering" (though as a lone wireframe
in a
contest of otherwise 3D art, it would have likely done quite poorly), but the
colouring in by hand moves it into a completely different class of image, and
definately violates the "no post-processing" rules.  Your concept is
interesting, and
it's too bad you did not attempt to create an image based on it that fell
within
the realm of this competition.  While I find the image interesting and your
concept and technique intriging, I have no choice but to award you 1-1-1 as
you have completely failed to meet basic entry requirements.  I hope this does
not discourage you from future attempts, but instead encourages you to locate
either the proper forum for your art, or to attempt an actual rendering or
raytracing for a future round of the IRTC.

hmmm....I think were breaking some IRTC post-processing rules. but I still love
it.

=====
From jroy@internauts.ca:
Is this really raytracing of some type ??

=====
From klynn@minn.net:

Very nicely done!  However, I believe you violated the rules for
post_processing
the 3D rendered image by printing & watercoloring the rendered image.  Very nice

graphics design work, though; and innovative use of 3D rendering technology in
your processes.

From kazemir@pde.com:
Although I like the image, it is an ilegal entry into the competition.  The
final image must be rendered.  So I can't fairly compare this with the other
entries.

From bill.marrs@pureatria.com:
This is not the product of a computer rendering program.

From jaime@ctav.es:

Hmmm... Nice, but not a rendered/raytraced image, IMHO.

From lowellr@globaldialog.com:
I like the picture and concept but it seems to be a violation of
the submission rules 

=====
From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
What a dilemma.  I have no idea how to rate this image.  It's unlike anything
I've seen before.  Is this primarily a "raytracing"?  Or should this image be
entered in the IXC (Internet Xerox Competition)?  But it's one of the best pure
illustrations here...

=====
From wozzeck@club-internet.fr:
Hmmm... a bit sorry about this picture. It's very nice and I like it, but to me,
it has absolutely nothing to do in the IRTC... I think that enlarging, then
painting and adding other drawings is manual POSTPROCESSING. Why not, then,
using POV-Ray to make an empty scene with a White background, then painting on
a print of it?

=====
From dick@buckosoft.com:
I think this image has generated more comments than any other single
image in the IRTC.

=====
From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
This image is illegal for using _heavy_ post-processing. Only direct renderer
outputs are allowed int he IRTC.

From Martin.Magnusson.7121@student.uu.se:
It's a great image, but unfortunately this is
the wrong forum for it. I mean - it's not ray-traced!

=====
From arcana@sinbad.net:
I'm sure I'm not the first to give you all ones, but I'll still offer up an
explanation and give you some molification. I just couldn't see how the image
qualifies under the current contest guidlines. Hence, the ones. Beyond that
though,
I have to say it's a wonderful image. :{)

=====
From msfl.bf@fasonet.bf:
Great image. Too bad it doesn't comply with the rules.

=====
From bobfranke@halcyon.com:
Artistic and a very nice image. However, I can only give one point for technical
merit
because this is not a rendered image.
