I love that quote! I'm tempted to .sig it
(Tried to 'rep you for it, but looks like I can't yet).

haha, use it if you want. =)

Rivers. Well that was unexpected. But, since doors have been done, rivers should do nicely. =) I am immensely enjoying the progression of this piece.

Thanks

...On staircases...?

I kinda figured you'd go with doors or something.

Strange how the water falling off the edges doesn't fall straight down

It does in the places where I've gone back and properly painted the landscape already.

In the places where it's still just roughly sketched out, however, you're right. I've never had great fine motor control, so I do the detail work zoomed way in. But I do rough sketches zoomed out, so that I can see the big picture. Hence zigs where there should be zags (or straight lines).

So no, the gravity-defying behavior of the sketched water is not intentional . I considered having the water act differently, or have gravity in several directions, but decided against it. I figured that making the water behave in the usual fashion would help to anchor the more surreal aspects of the landscape.

I had no idea that Escher did maps!
Sweet ^___^

...and here I am, scrambling at the last minute once again .

This isn't done yet, so I expect to have one more up before the contest closes, but uploading what I have now just to be safe.

I need to choose less ambitious projects -- things I can realisitically finish in the timeframe allowed!

This is as done as it's going to get before the deadline:

Ooops -- Subtle (but significant) error fixed.

I just noticed another error -- another river doing something it shouldn't -- but I'm going to leave this one in.

So, there is (at least) one spot where a river is doing something impossible .
