IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

 This is the second picture Iīve created for IRTC.

 Iīm not sure what could I say about this one. Idea for this came when I was playing 
with different atmospheres in Vue, at 2 oīclock at night, and suddenly remembered that
I meant to try to put something up for this round.
 I wanted to keep this Image peaceful and dreamy, so I tried to use just couple objects,
each having mostly transparent (or reflective) surfaces. It anyway ended up lookin much
colder then I originally meant it to look, originally it was pretty warm and more softer.
That water doesnīt maybe look too much like water, but hey, itīs "dream" water ;).

 
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

 Head was modeled in Imagine. First I created somewhat coarse model by extruding 
edges & faces and moving & joining points. then I started adding details to it by fracturing
single faces and moving points . When the head looked good ( And after I finally managed 
to get that qute nose [ IMO ;) ] of her ready,  and understood that it couldnīt even be seen
well in the picture ) I fractured all of her faces once and smoothed them ( Her forehead
looks still a bit too straight but I hope itīs not too visible. ). 
 Eyes are two fuzzy spheres using basic smooth noise with some turbulence.

The man is just a simple poser 1 model gone trhought some smoothing and cleaning in Imagine. 

Object in the background ( I donīt know what should I call it in english ) was done with Lparser4,
modified a bit & optimised in Imagine and imported as dxf into Vue 2.
