I used Lightwave 9.6 to model and render. Use a little Photoshop CS4 to do color correction and make image maps. I spent 5 hours on the concept, about 15 Hours on the modeling and 5 hours on the test renders. For a total of 25 Hours. The Scene only has 2 lights, one being a volumetric light, kept the textures pretty simple to fit my desired look/feel. It’s not the monsters we are scared of, it’s ourself. I hope you all enjoy!
