IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
        This image was my first real attempt to draw a scene from everyday
        life.  It is a room looking out on two people playing football.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
        First of all the idea for this image was conceived over several
        months of "what can I draw that looks really good and real?"  Easier
        said than done.  The people were mutated from the original people
        files that came along with Polyray.  The picture on the wall was taken from
        Timo Ettanen's previously submitted Graveyard picture.  The Blue Glass
        Vase was a Lathe drawn by hand and the color and transparency are
        of my own making.  The glass window had to tweaked to reflect just
        enough of the room and enough of the outdoors.  The mountains are
        a height field generated from the plasma.tga file that came with
        PolyRay 1.8.  The Lamps were going to be stained glass lamps but
        time played a factor in this, so they ended up being simple lathes
        using the texture from "Mid Summer Night Dream" file previously submitted.
