Title: Spectacular Entry-elvis Lives Forever
Name: John Shakespeare
Country: Australia
Software: CINEMA 4D

this is my entry to the Spectacular challenge. a big thanks to all who were there with advice and support.
Elvis lives! and he's not just alive, he's living forever! On his arrival at the Pearly Gates after his untimely passing, (Elvis despite his flaws was a good ol' god fearing man) God excitedly greeted him with a triple cheeseburger with extra cheese and a freshly fried peanut butter and banana sandwich.He even let him keep his treasured gold plated colt 45 handgun "as long as you only shoot cocacola cans" he said.
It turns out God was a big fan,and was very touched by all the religious hymns and christmas carols Elvis had sung on Earth, and decided to give him an extra reward on top of eternal life- a never ending supply of his favourite junk food, delivered 24/7 by a devoted team of little Elvis cherubs. Of course, he continued to pile on the pounds, but God gave him one extra gift- no heart attacks in heaven! So Elvis lives forever.. Spectacularly!(click on image for high res)

Oh my... This is terreific... Nice work there man!
All the scene flawless mesh together... My only critic is the little elvis eyes... They look kinda dead and low on detail!
Amazing anyways!

Spectacular!!! :) You have really captured his presence in this fantastic piece. So much justice to the king.. this could make millions as an advertising campaign for some fast food brand!!

congrats and good luck!

by the way I am going thru the entries this year and i have to say it's the most inspiring and mind blowing collection of entries I have ever seen!

well done mate and well done cgtalk!

I like this one a lot, it makes me wish to get back to c4d. I tried many versions of rendering, but i didn`t find any good result. How do you render your images, and how you use the lightning? I would be very happy if you would give me a tip :)
