IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
The barbwire eating trooper has just entered the drifting
spacestation, that has been attacked by an unknown lifefrom. He is struggeling thru dark, in hope too find survivors from the attack. In his mind there is also fear, a fear for what is around the next corner. Will it be a survivor or a man-eating monster from outerspace... 
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
I used nurbs to model the helmet, mouth and armor. Nurbs is a great tool to create organicmodels (but the armor and the helmet isn´t organic, but it is a good tool to create such models too)! The weapon is just some boxes that are "meshsmoothed". The enviroment is just simple cylinders and boxes in driffrent sizes. The lazers are red volume lights. I used the "videopost" tool, to create the glow from the background lights.  

Enjoy!!!

PS GOA And ACID on high volume, is a must if you want to get the power to create an awesome picture...!!!
