Thanks Steve...

I thought you might take exception to the perspective of the crab in the animated version of the first entry, but you didn't... I struggled a bit trying to get it right.

Re: The scale of the girls. I also anticipated you calling me out on that, but I rationalized my purposeful exaggeration by thinking that the girls were not sitting, but in a kneeling position with very upright postures making them appear taller. When I started I had them more to scale but was not happy with so little of them showing. And also that the casual viewer would not be likely to notice my 'artistic license'.

I visualized the elephants with her squishing the deck chair, being rather distraught with a big 'sigh' and being consoled by him with a little 'tail pat on the back'.

In both cases the woman is not simply 'the woman' - it's Mrs Trump. I think Melania can fantasise about pins but maybe not actually wield them.

And thank you Steve.

Or perhaps be allowed near sharp objects of any kind ...

Thank you Steve. The Fuse people didn't look as dark in Photoshop. I'm not sure why they rendered that way. I didn't have time to go back and re-render them so I had to make do. I agree it would make more sense to have the cocktail table in front, but then it would be obscured. Another big THANKS to my friend, Tony, for the voiceover.
