Title: Rodell and Lasil go to extremes
Name: Torsten Thuenen
Country: Germany
Software: BodyPaint, Photoshop, XSI

Hi,
I would like to show you my "strange behavior" entry.

Here is the story:
With the June full moon only days ahead and so the time for the yearly Grand Caribbean Beach Race almost there, octopuses from all over the ocean spend the nights practicing for this big event. Every night during these days all the beaches were crowded with octopuses in their buggies and gliders.
But nobody ever expected such a strange behaviour as exhibit by Rodell and Lasil. Throwing their nocturnality over board they start practicing even at day time just to make sure that this year they are not beaten by a blink of an eye from the all time favourites Fayard and Marques.

The image in it's final resolution can be found here (http://bluesplinearts.de/stills/Strange_Behavior/Rodell_and_Lasil_hires.jpg)

And here are some hi-res crops

Hey Torsten,
I like the idea!

Nevertheless your vehicle model looks a bit like a toycar.
The material seems to be plastic (maybe it's part of it).

Thanks for your feedback.

You are right about the render. I'll try to improve the textures and the lighting and do a re-render as soon as I'll get a new machine. Don't have the patience to do it with my old one.
