I do like the moody piece that you started with. Throw some smoke in the background like a darkened alley, be pretty darn tight. But I like how on these pieces, your consistantly shifting the camera angles and playing around with the approach. The detail on the bricks is mind numbing!

Thanks!

Steve - Cool. I'll post more soon. Thank!

Mitch - Yeah, I really wanted to do that one. Just felt like it was something I'd seen before. Not sure why...

Anyway, thanks!
