A not very likely view from one of Jupiter's moons. I designed this scene really wide, but that made it painful to crop.

The warming sun rises over fresh snow. You can tell older snow on mountains because all the thin areas have melted away, increasing the contrast.

This one started out with a blue sky, no mountains, and no lake. It changed slowly, and ended up much better than what I thought I was making.

The color in the ear was a happy accident. I copied the texture from the rest of the head, and the muzzle color applied itself in a perfect place.

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.

The valley and balcony were rendered in two separate 3d programs, and assembled in Photoshop
