Description
The old scribe did what he could do best. Drawing maps for the royal merchants and explorers. He might be old now, but he had still eyes of an eagle...

for face_off and richardson (my inspirations)
Rendered with Poser6. Wasn't happy with the first version, so I made a second one with ambient occlusion (using Ambient Occlusion Master by face_off). This really gave the image a special touch. Just resized in Photoshop and did a little correction in contrast. This version is also larger than the first one...

This is extremely realistic. From an artistic crit point of view, there could be some value in lighting up the hand a little more - since it is a major focus on the image.
