'Artist and Easel Circa 2007'

A fun one to create. Just a shame I didn't spend as much time on lighting and background as I did on the props. The juvenile clutter was inspired by my brother-in-law's computer room; he even has a framed map of Middle Earth on his walls. This and other details mark a start of a serious messing about with textures. The Sonic Youth poster was modified from a pirate map model; the Wallace & Grommit mouse map built from scratch. The image on the computer was a screen dump taken from Daz Studio, using the god-awful fairy models you get free with the software. It was supposed to be a parody of the many, many fairy images which clutter up sites like Renderosity. Though most of those artists, unlike myself at this stage, know how to use lighting effectively.
