29 Jul 2006	Amazed Artist	Loading... I really want to know the rest of your story, but I can't find the link to your website. What's its URL? (By the way, I absolutely LOVE your work. The details are absolutely amazing!) Mark N. McLeod replies: "Thank you. You'll find my website via the "artist's links" on my Elfwood homepage. "
29 Jul 2006	Katherine 'Kiki' Donahue	Loading... Amazing. I like the way that even though the whole picture is full of photograph-like detail you still manage to draw the entire focus in to the center and that nifty little glowy guy. Amazing effect.... XD I love the story too!
29 Jul 2006	Jenny M. Heidewald	Loading... Beautiful yet again. I've always loved the stories where the cities were abondoned and were going back to nature, and humanity went a little wild, regressed I should say. Can you tell I like ghost towns? They are so creepy, and rather sad. Is there a litle alien guy behind the skeleton there or am I seeing things? What happendd to the person who was the skeleton, looks like it had a drink or something, wouldn't that can have blown away by now? Mark N. McLeod replies: "There is a robotic looking figure in the middle ground, representing the new arrival on the scene. The beer can is a bit of "artistic licence" with a touch of black humour, symbolizing the self destructive human obsession with alcohol. The skeleton has a bullet hole in the skull, symbolizing the violence that destroyed the city in the background. "
