Very interesting study of hands! Bravo!!!
Very impressive display of hand gestures ... I learn something new every day. Excellent artwork and thank you for posting this.
Wow! Thanks For Sharing, Very Interesting.
Very interesting and very well modeled and textured!
Fantastic work on the modeling and texturing. My only critical input that might help improve this presentation even more is font styles and text layout. Other than that (non-LightWave related) critique... awesome! :o)
