Wait, I thought this was supposed to be Layer Tennis, not Layer Chess. Our competitors may have vowed to be cooperative, but we've got mountains vs. teepees chess game going on here. The clouds are gathering once again for Harrington's teepees...looks like his king's on fire. I doubt it's checkmate yet, however.
Anderson has pushed time forward again. The moon is a bit higher in the sky than it was. The whole scene -- mountains, wigwams, spider web -- seems to be rolling along together, coming up on a billboard, and some 2-D shadow casting fish. Where are these shadows coming from exactly? We're one melting clock away from Salavor Dali here.
I had a thought during the break...maybe that's not a spider web. It might be a Native American dreamcatcher. But instead of a dream, it seems to have caught a deer, which I believe can be found in one of the default Photoshop brush sets. [I have been informed that the buck is not one of the default Photoshop brushes. Oh, the humanity. -ed]
Oh, and I need some help from the forums. What's the difference between a teepee and a wigwam? I poked around a little but am on a schedule here. Can anyone help me out?
