hehe, no, I'm italian.My Deus ex got its' name from bad playwrights in ancient times using a device to lower an actor onto the stage as if by divine intervention. :)

It was a critique of the playwrights, telling them not to count on a cheap trick at the end, but write better, so they wouldn't need the deus ex. :)

I am happy you like it, parts are a 3d model rotation, with a light map applied.I warped it when I scaled it. :)I have other skins here...but no deviant acct.

thanks, xonenine.

I used to have a game on my ZX Spectrum back in the mid-80's called deus ex machina. Weird game, iirc it came with a bonus tape cassette with music by Ian Drury and Jon Pertwee amongst others. You never see bizarre stuff like that anymore :cry:

I think the flying face boss at the end of Matrix Revolutions had the name too. I reckon it's a nice way of admitting that they couldn't think of a decent way to end the story. A god from the machine indeed :wink:
