IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
As suggested by the title, this is a little green man dreaming of Earth's beautiful women.
Well, may be the little green man is me dreaming of doing more interesting things than
going to the office every day. On the other hand visualising day dreams with POV-Ray is
not a bad thing to do, too. Thanks god it's summer now even in Switzerland. So I will take
a break from rendering and enjoy the motor biking and barbecue season.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

I started with the big asteroid which I modelled in SPatch. Most important it had to have
a more or less flat top. Then it took me quite a while to find the good position and angle
of the camera. After I had that I knew I could realise the rest of my idea and started
with the real work. I assembled the characters in Poser and converted them to POV-Ray
with PoseRay. The rest was placing the objects on top of my asteroid and fine tuning of
the lights and textures.
