IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

        Well, to make a long story short, Johnny and Sue had a really BAD first
encounter with teleportation magic, and now they're stuck in a vortex.  Where
they'll wind up, no one knows.

        By now, it's probably pretty obvious that I'm a beginner.  I need some
effective commentary in order to better my skills as an Artist.  So, ANY
comments that you may have are welcome.  Even if you just want to say hi,
that's cool too.  Thanks again, and good luck to all entrants.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

            Most of this image was made in PoVSB, using regular shapes with
weird patterns.

        I made a couple of the shapes using sPatch, most notably the snake at
the top, and the needle near the bottom.

        A lot of the shapes that are in here are actually TTF objects in
Wingdings font.

        Other than that, it's pretty standard stuff.
