It's great that you adopted my idea for the error page look. But it does not yet have that "ripped-open" feel, because in your version the inner shadows are missing, and the outer ones do not look smooth enough. Here are both for comparison again: 



IMHO the error page should not have any of the frames but just a plain background and the hole in the middle (the nav bar is fine on top). And maybe 260 KBytes for an error image is a bit much? Mine is 20 KByte. I'm old-fashioned I guess, a quarter mega byte seems large to me ;)

As for proper attribution, a small-print footer in the lower right corner should suffice (e.g. "graphic based on artwork by AMENAZAGFX").

PS: Perhaps proving my point above, the first version of this email bounced due to excessive size. Had to rescale your image, and save as jpeg.
