IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

  It's a picture from a Tex Avery cartoon: "Wild and Woolfy", when the
villain (the wolf) first sees the girl and falls in love with her (if
you can call it love...).


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

  The main difficulty was in rendering in a single picture what is shown
in two sequences in the movie. I had to put a mirror behind the wolf to
show what he was looking at without losing his expression.

  The wolf's head is mostly a hand-coded blob except for the ears and
tongue which were modelled in sPatch and the eyes and nose which are simply
scaled spheres.

  The girl and the spectator's shadows are simply boxes with an image_map.

        That's all folks!
