Antoine Bocour just got a new job - he's new "Quality Check Engineer" in local paint factory.

In reality, he just sits in a room watching paint dry (he learned a lot from this guy http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-408848/The-man-gets-paid-watch-paint-dry.html )

Not finished, needs ceiling and better neon lighting ..

No time to finish it, stays as-is :(

You excitedly start your new job at the Disposal of Medical Waste factory, and are led through the building by Malcolm Perchance, your new supervisor. As you walk towards your new work station, he explains your duties.
"Now, what you're going to be working doing is getting rid of all the fat that's got liposuction'd out of folk, right? See, it's a terrible thing, what with government regulations and all, nowadays you can't burn it, bury it, make jelly sweeties for kids or glue from it, not nothing. So..."
Opening a door, he leads you into a walkway in a foul smelling, decrepit room, dominated by a vat full of stinking, liquefied putrescence on the lower floor, which is being churned endlessly by an ancient and creaking machine.
He motions for you to sit down on a stool
"So," you ask, nervously, "How do we get rid of this fat?"
Malcolm grins sickly, and hands you a long drinking straw.

Ok then, time for voting, which will last roughly a day.

Categories:

Idea:
Atmosphere:
Design: How well the elements are designed, from clouds to doorknobs.
Composition: How well the elements are combined to create a pleasing whole, and lead the viewer to the points of interest.
Functionality: How well it would work as a background, with clearly defined entries and walkable areas, as well as a good viewing angle.
Technique: How well it's rendered, in no way meaning the more elaborate the better.

Idea: stajp - The best thing is that it's an actual job...sort of.
Atmosphere: cuestaluis - Dark with a shimmer of light.
Design: Creed Malay - There are a lot of nice details in this image.
Composition: cpage - Clean and simple composition...although I think the trees and the footsteps distract from the overall look.
Functionality: cuestaluis - There's enough walkable area, clear exit, and the camera is placed at a distance that makes it overall usable.
Technique: cpage - Particularly the background: rocks, snow, clouds...I like the foreground a bit less, but I guess that's due to the computer-death and limited time.

Idea: Cpage - Yes, that'd be less than plesant...
Atmosphere: Ceuestaluis - very nicely dark and gloomy
Design: stapj - I like the vastness of the room with the small clobs of paint and the tiny, lonely chair
Composition: Stapj - for the same reasons above
Functionality:Cpage
Technique: Ceustaluis - love the lighting

Idea: cpage  (it takes imagination to think up Donner Party and to make a good background:))
Atmosphere: cuestaluis (it just looks like ... a sewer :)
Design: Creed Malay (I wouldn't remember a lot of fine little things which are in this background)
Composition: cuestaluis (it just look like ... a sewer :)
Functionality: cuestaluis (nice walk areas and not so good walk areas (who would like to walk in sewage)
Technique: ceastaluis (nice usage of a good paint program)
