• Here is the layout of the final composition, i colored each layer and named it just for distinguish purposes
•A The Girl, Cactus and Spheres
•B The Skeletal Plane
•C The Far Desert
•D The Mate Paint Of The Sky
There will also be a 5th plane wityh retouches in Post effects
As you can see, the composition is very simple, I will only play a little bit with levels and contrasting of each layer just to integrate the overal mood of the scene, as I say before, The girl who was originally the main character, after assembling the composition i decided to leave her as a secont point of interest, The Cactus, wich is more noticeable, is only a mere detail of the surrealistic scene, same as the balls>
I am at only a couple of steps from finishing, I've tried different render engines and found The Mental Ray a quick and acceptable choice, I hope it looks good enought for you, and I appreciate your continuos support
Thanks Guys!

• I used Mental Ray as render engine this time with a little GI, not much, composited in Photoshop, no many retouches outher some dust in the air

[rattlesnake]

hey mate, the composition is very cool... i think this piece has so many artistic elements and that selfportrait is a nice idea, good job my friend.:thumbsup:

• Well, this is it, after a while seeing it I got tired, I don't know what else I could without leaving the original idea, so...Ladies and Gentelman......My final Image.
I hope you like it

[Climax]

• I want to thanks to all good friends and great artist who ever visited my thread during this Challenge, and to the people who still comes, to all of you thank you very much for your support!

[Versiden]

heya Omar

sorry for not getting around to your thread. I know I've been especially slack with threads for this challenge, but I guess it's no excuse

congrats on the finish! It's very orginal and mind blending. The furniture in the background almost give it an abstract hidden meaning. The face on the cloud is wicked man ;p

goodluck and cya in the next challenge

[Digital_Rebellion]
