I have a sketch on my desk I am planning to work on some throughout the week. It’s a fun idea and I am planning to drag out all the 1920s Style Death… er, Radio Energy Control Module bits I like to use. ---

I just spent a certain amount of time working something up. I think it’ll do nicely – have a look. Er… you _do_ have an electron microscope, don’t you? By the way, what’s to be the theme of this website? ---

[QUOTE=Sal Ammoniac] By the way, what’s to be the theme of this website? [/QUOTE] I’m intending to use it as an umbrella for some of my video and audiovisual stuff, but that needn’t be reflected in the logo (in fact, perhaps _shouldn’t_, as the site may end up being used for other things additionally) ---

Bumpy, indeed. Everyone else was going for the Monster Shrimp, so I went in the other direction: [Less Threatening.](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a309/daithilacha/AtomicShrimp.jpg) That’s a JPEG image, but I’m able to export it to just about anything you’d want. Comes with or without the lettering, of course. ---

[QUOTE=Daithi Lacha] Nice one! [/QUOTE] Thanks. That’s my best entry, I think. I spent my day today discovering [Paint.NET](http://Paint.NET) and the ‘gradient’ feature. It’s probably best that I’m going back to work tomorrow; I could play with that program all day. ---

Thanks for all the contributions. I think I’ll set the closing date for entries as midnight(GMT) at the end of this month, and I’ll announce the winner shortly afterwards. There’s no voting as such, but if you want to argue the case for any particular entry, I’m open to persuasion (but not bribery). ---

Thanks for the long deadline. I’ve got a pretty good iidea, but no wacom board at home and it’s taking forever, drawing with the mouse, especially, since I can’t draw. It’s working out well anyway and gives me further practice with Illustrator. I’ll be back. ---

That was a bitch. I’m glad I have clipart albums (corel magic and some other), because drawing is not my strongest ability. I can imagine what things should be like, but getting that from my brain to a pen is not fun. It didn’t turn out as cool as I hoped, but [here’s my effort](http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w275/pellepennan/atomic_shrimp.jpg). I did it in illustrator, so changes can easily be made.
