This is an initial concept 'sketch' for my image. The picture will be the unveiling of a statue of Fyodor Dostoyevsky in a Russian square filled with thousands of people.

The idea behind my picture is that there is little in the world as spectacular as human achievment. Throughout history we have recognized great men, men of power, men of conquest, men of science, men of art, men of verse. We immortilize these men and women with visages of stone and metal for all to see.

This shot will be the unveiling of a statue of Fyodor Dostoyevsky (one of, if not the, most influential writers of the 19th century). The idea is that not only is the scene spectacular but the life and achievments of the man being celebrated are spectacular as well.

This seems to be a very interesting concept, I like it and also like the work of Dostowjewski:) . So I'm looking forward to your updates. Good luck!:thumbsup:

My first modeling milestone, the pedestal and the lamps are modeled. There is still some work to do on the pedestal itself, but that will be put off until I find a way to render archaic Cyrillic text.

Started on the first background building, this has been a good experience as I am learning to conserve polygons on background objects, so far this is only 17.5k polygons.
