DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


This is my rendition of the Associated Press photo that made headlines around
the world during the crackdown on Tiananmen Square in June 1989.

This image is 100% hand-crafted CSG - except for the street lines and the red
stars
on the tanks, which were done with the GIMP - based on pictures from the
event and other pictures of the Chinese People's Revolutionary Army Type 80
tank. 

I had first tried to model it in Moray, but quickly reverted to the
tried-and-true
method of doodling on a pad of graph-paper and code-render-change-rerender.

Special tanks, er.. thanks! to Linkmeister Ken Tyler and Marc Schimmler for
providing
links to the information used.

Heartfelt thanks also go out to Nivek Ogre, cEVIN kEY and the late Dwayne R.
Goettel
for writing music that opened my eyes to what is wrong with the world and whose
song
"Tin Omen" provided the inspiration for this piece.
