Forever and a Cay

This harmonious hybrid between my Space art and my Tropical landscapes was submitted as a small celebration of my 2nd birthday since joining DeviantArt. Just see how far I have come when You compare this with a similar deviation submitted on my last birthday [link] Yes a years worth of practice does come a long way and so does the addition of new programs that have allowed me to expand my artistic horizons further.

Some may have picked up the clever title too, well thats not just a random thing. It was going to have a different name but when I said "the rendering has taken forever and a day" It struck me. Not only did the first render take over 71 hours ( nearly 3 days ) Much to my blind fury I realised the first render came out TOTALLY BLACK !! My computer couldn't handle the detail level so I rendered it smaller...all over again ! So the rendering alone took nearly a week, while the making of the 3D scene took at least 30 hours with another 10 or so hours in Photoshop... Hope it was worthwhile

So make my day and FAV LIKE CRAZY ! ...I consider it one of my personal bests.

like all my art, Ripping is prohibited. I've seen screenshots submitted which is OK provided you make a link back to my main page
