A free water cooler for your office. Good for generating small talk with coworkers who would normally appear awkward or even unfriendly. Nothing says, "you're important" like hanging out with someone at the water cooler.
Plenty of space for a logo or design on the cooler base. To make objects appear to be floating inside, simply place the object over the water tank and use a mode like overlay or multiply. See what works. You may wish to bring some of the tank's highlights to the front of the object.
OK... This is a scanned image at as high a resolution as possible with a lotta touch up... Please note that there's a small outline in white to maximize the detail of the image... All done in Illustration CS3...
My Chinese girfriend is always having her legs waxed. So one day I wondered what would happen if her legs were so smooth they were totally frictionless... So I asked her to pose for me as I sketched the idea directly into Illustrator CS3. It was a bit of a rush job...
