AMERICA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY


TO DECADENCE WITHOUT

CIVILIZATION IN BETWEEN.

- Oscar Wilde

was included in it, so its been narrowed down to five sections, some incredibly relevant, others not so much. I know there are some sections youd expected to see in this issue that havent been included, like American sports, thats simply because we couldnt find enough images to create a section out of, so its not exactly our fault. But I believe the best was done with the resources that were gathered. I really hope you enjoy this issue, and even though Im not an American citizen, Im going to end this letter with the famous three words, God Bless America.

ow issue eight already, itll be issue ten before you know it Id have to think of something really big for that, oh bother. Back to this issue which is all about the United States of America, fifty states, a population of over 290 million and possibly the most powerful country in the world. This issue would have been a monster if everything America had done

THAT WENT FROM BARBARISM

Front
Uncle Sam by Vlad Costin (costin3d.com). Modelled in 3D Studio Max & sculpted in ZBrush.
This image is definitely a personification of America. The patriotism, the bravado, the tattoo on his left shoulder, I could go on. Vlad Costin did an amazing job with this image, great sculpture work on the anatomy and the creases on the clothes. The wrinkles on the face and the veins are spot on, and a really nice touch with the pocket watch. They really should make a toy of this model and sell it, or maybe a game, an Uncle Same game.

On The

t took an incredibly long time find the right cover image for this issue, (as it does for most issues). However for this particular issue, the majority of the time was spent deciding on images instead of searching for them. The images in question were this one, and one of Obama in front of an American flag. The Obama image was good but far too clich, and as Ceiga is all about being different, Uncle Sam won the cover page.
