Nice! That sounds like an awesome project! Good luck, I hope it works!

I believe you misunderstood. I did not say that it was bad because he used the sounds files from the game. I just said that I could not give him full credit in the "originality" department because he did not create every part himself. Original work is something that was conceived entirely by the artist, and the Portal turret and the sound files were both designed and created by people at Valve. I agree that without those sound files it would not be the same, and I still gave him 5-stars over all, but he did not create the sounds, nor did he invent the turret concept himself, so I cannot give him full credit for originality. Thanks for your reply!

This... is beyond awesome. As a moderately die-hard Portal fan, I have to say that I've honestly never seen anything quite like this before. Though I don't know much about the workings of this masterful piece of magic myself, I do realize that it required a very good knowledge of programming as well as a great artistic sense, and as such you executed it perfectly. The only reason I gave only four stars on "Originality" is because the turret itself as well as the sound files I am assuming you used were both created by Valve. To me, of course, the fact that it is Portal-inspired only makes it that much better, but I still can't give full points for a completely original concept. All in all, incredible work, good sir. You have much talent, and I look forward to hopefully seeing similar work in the future.

Vision:
This is a really great project idea. It is unique, fun, inspiring, and artistic. It takes a common, sometimes overused subject and turns it into a different, never before seen masterpiece.

Originality:
This book is a very original piece of work. The story, while based on a popular wizard theme, has its own quirks and makes itself as it goes. The use of many different artists' work makes it as original as can be.

Technique:
I love how it incorporates other artists' work, and the book interface is very well done. My only problem is that there are quite a few spots in the writing that could use revision. There aren't really any grammar errors, per se, but a lot of sentences and even pages could sound much better if they were rephrased.

Impact:
All in all, this is an amazing project. It involves the community, is creative, is fun for artists and viewers, is interactive, and is well-designed. If the writing were just a bit more fluent, it would be a perfect 5/5.

It's beautiful, but I'm bothered by the fact that the tower on the right is just mirrored, putting the shadows on the wrong side...
