The concept was to contrast the attraction of a cute baby v.s. the reviling nest of bones.

Laser beams take awhile to render. That's what I learned during this one, luckily I didn't get too carried away with them.

I drew this during a heat wave, what else would be on my mind?

Most images have one thing that slows progress. Everything falls into place except the lighting, point of view, or as in this case waves. It took forever, but I am glad I stuck with it.

I would finish images sooner if I didn't keep putting in detail that doesn't even show up in the final image. For example, the rope texture and frayed end, coconuts on the beach, and the sunburn on the legs.

When I started this rendering it was almost warm outside. As I worked, the weather grew colder and started to snow. I'm sure that was just a coincidence.

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.

They eat what, for Thanksgiving?The main parts of the turkey were made in Amorphium, and imported into Bryce.  The stump was created using Bryce's terrain editor.

What if Earth was only a moon, the second moon, of some large planet?
