Here are the inner workings of a cloud, laid out for all to see. In case you didn't know, there's a large resevoir of water for all the drops, a bunch of gears powered by a tiny running man, timpany drums hooked up to speakers for the thunder, and a Tesla coil in the middle for the lightning.

See the original illustration here.

Oh wow. That's hot.

AtariSupernova on May 01 '07

Interesting!
I like the style.

mlnewco on May 01 '07

I like the idea of this. I don't think you need all the other small clouds. It might be nice to focus on the one cloud & have it slightly larger so you could see all the inner workings more clearly.

resolution?

startledfrogdotnet on May 01 '07

I agree with mlnewco. with so many smaller clouds you sort of lose the focus on the action. hot stuff though, I'd wear it

freaksgeeks on May 01 '07

needs to be bigger, yes. love it though 5$

timadd on May 01 '07

I disagree with losing the smaller clouds. They add a nice feel to it, although i can see what you're getting at. This is awesome. 5

Jasper Cockelles on May 01 '07

I say keep the smaller clouds but make the cross section cloud much bigger, cuz otherwise you can't really see the little people inside it. Awesome anyway though.

EisforErica on May 01 '07

I like the idea just not the colors

amaliaslash on May 01 '07

dang. i did something similar to this a long time ago.

Emilys Daddy on May 01 '07

that's pretty cool. 4

Miss-Laurence on May 01 '07

I think it is a great design. I'd keep all the clouds and make the feature larger as the cloudworkers are so cool!

professorE on May 01 '07

Those gears could not possibly turn. They would just bind up...

Alexandra Marie on May 02 '07

Nice idea, but I would like to see it done larger, more detailed, and with fewer - and possibly slightly more vibrant - colors.

Great start, though.

Batty1980 on May 02 '07

Great design. The main cloud needs to be bigger, you could lose a couple of the smaller clouds.

Hippopotamus on May 02 '07

You can't really see the little people and that's what makes it funny so they need to be a bit bigger.

longleggedfly on May 02 '07

love the dude in the cog and the guy making the thunder! haha

vixyish on May 02 '07

beesknees - I've noticed that putting a link in your initial submission comment doesn't work. (The same thing happened to me.) So your link to the original illustration has been replaced by a link right back to this page.

I'd still like to see the link to the original illustration, if you'd post it in a new comment...

beeskneesindustries on May 02 '07

Thanks for all the comments and critiques! I can definitely agree that it should be bigger. I went back and forth on including the smaller clouds, but in the end, I had to choose something.

Vixyish: Thanks for the info. I hadn't even checked the link. Here it is in a copy-and-paste-able form:

MegEm on May 02 '07

Oooh sneaky

hyperpenguin on May 02 '07

$5!

onehtl1ama on May 02 '07

yayy. i loved this on craftster, and i love it here too! i gave it a 5$. hopefully i'll be able to wear it and let people in on the secret of how nature REALLY works.

orwell on May 02 '07

you learn something new everday! i dig it!

notesandhours on May 03 '07

I disagree with losing the clouds, you don't just see one cloud in the sky all the time and one on it's own might confuse the message.. I love it as is ^^

Nei Nei on May 03 '07

Nice.

Criedwolf on May 03 '07

The design's cool, and good job with the display.

snikklefrits on May 04 '07

I would put it on a bluer backgroud and move those little clouds to the shoulders...they're cute just too cluttery below the big picture. Still, I'm giving it a 4 ^_^

Miss-Laurence on May 04 '07

Your design was very different - you could not really tell yours was a cloud.
Cogs/wheels/ Mecano have been, are and will be used for all sorts of designs- you can't proclaim you have created a precedent in their use!

BlueandYellow on May 04 '07

brighter colors

liberatethechicks on May 05 '07

as a science lover, cross sections make me happy, but color even more so. Please spice up your great idea with some super colors.

dr. loopy94 on May 06 '07

Where's the silver lining? :]

cantstopsmilin21 on May 06 '07

i like it :) 5$

shiola on May 07 '07

I really like this too. Agree with others about the main cloud too small and too many other cliouds. The design on your site has a better layout. I think the lightening ball needs a delivery device for the lightening. Top marks 5.
