IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

    A young awkward plug go to the first appointment with a pretty young 'redhead' 
    socket, in a corner of a room.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

  I read the topic only in 15 December and I had this idea immediately! 
  I worked only a few evenings on it because i had a few free time (Christmas
  presents for everybody, do you know ?)
  This is my first submit for this competition and is my first attempt of modelling
  something of living (is living a plug ?).
  For this reasons the body proportions are not exact (but they are not human, no?)
  and the modelling is very simple.
  The body shapes are exactly the same of a real plug in my home (even the tiles and 
  the walls are the same of my room...).
  The eyes are inspired by manga comics and the hands are made only with sfere (a
  good realization, i think...) because i don't know how use blobs and it's too late 
  to learn it for this topic...
  The bunch of flowers is made of bezier patches.
  
  Happy New Year to everybody !!
