This, while minimalistic, is my favorite of the beach sunset series. (and probably the last for awhile.)

I drew the bump map (planet surface) in Photoshop, and spent too much time trying to get it just right, because only 10% shows up in the final image.

An idea for the request something alien came to me while experimenting with shapes in Amorphium. Rendered in Bryce for the procedural textures and atmosphere.

Finished, scrapped, and restarted 3 times, I think I'm getting too critical. My concept was shady, yet well lit. Of course, a paradox.

Simple, yet striking. The parts of the model were made in Amorphium, and assembled and textured in Bryce.

Inspired by Y2K, I had some problems when an error wiped out 4 hours of work. (I thought it was saving, but it actually wasn't.)

If you are curious to see a tall version of this, the commercial version was setup as a vertical format.
