It was so clear that the pod I'd drawn few days ago were lacking shadowing/lightning effects on the core ball, our mate Chicken too has pointed out this in the comments. He commented when I was just at work in order to drop some shadows on that milled sphere I loved so much, and of which I was so proud.

Once animated (and it was cool!), I'd shown it to Mike, and Mike told me it's odd, especially in that "milling"; he suggested me to draw a simpler shape.
Ok ok, glass or metal? Ah, you said it's up to me? Ok glass then. I'd drawn a nice pod with a central glass ball, and I was very proud of it too. Once Mike saw it, he told me there still was so much black, and black is the devil, and the devil uses to subvert our project's karma, and that's bad; he then suggested me to draw a simple ball.

Ok ok, metal, metal then, solid metal. Hence, I'd drawn a wonderful core of metallic sphere, that works so good in the glorious PAL video blurring, especially the light pixel in the bottom because it's surrounded by darker ones, and the overall effect is perfect. Mike saw it, then he sent back a .png image (one of those humiliations that can kill a graphician's heart in a finger's snap) that would show me his idea: a simple ball. A ball, done like a ball, a ball, a ball, actually a ball , a ball for true.

Ok...ok... I did two versions of the...the very simple shape: one with shadows, and one with no light effects, and this time, Mike told me he may be pleased by the former, but he also told me it has to be up to me, in order to choose a definitive one.
And when I was almost mentally prepared to hardly freeze in my position, he said "Oops now I see them on the real PAL video machine, yeah both glass and metal are cool.".

The question is: would he probably love the very first one with the milling, if he used to see it on the real iron, from the beginning?
Nobody will know. And I wanna die today.
But first, lemme put all the music into my blog.radio.
