Description
Illustration created to accompany a tutorial in Imagine FX magazine issue 10.
The image depicts a scene from Ray Bradbury's 'Sound of Thunder' short story, in which a company offers time travel safaris, allowing 'intrepid' hunters to go back and bag a T-Rex etc. However, a levitating walkway is constructed to prevent any other uneccesary contact with the prehistoric environment, which could have catastrophic consequences further down the timeline. Unfortunately the paying client panics and steps off the walkway, only to crush a unique and ancient butterfly of the time...

super!!!very good work!!!
Superb work!!
Incredible....really suberb indeed!
Wow your image is so much better than the $80 million flop movie !! Maybe they should have hired you ! :) Good work as usual !
Cool as usual.
Usually hate short stories, but will hunt this one down. Amazing render! The implications stagger. Thanks for sharing. BJ
Great Render, the story Sounds cool.
Nice work!
Excellent scene. Too bad the visual effects for the film version (w/Ben Kingsley) of this location weren't as good as your scene here.
Outstanding ! Mildly creepy too.
I've never seen the film some others are refering to, but I have read the short story and I instanly recognized this scene. Great work!
Oustanding...I look forward to your article... ImagineFX is a magazine I'm starting to buy more and more...
Oh, yeah, that is nice. Full of Jurrasic goodness!
Really cool image! Saw the movie, too - wasn't THAT bad - I've seen much worse. I was sorry to see you didn't have a tut in the last issue of ImagineFX - looking forward to the next one!
One of my faves by Bradbury....Skip the movie version if at all possible.
"oops"
Great combination of future and ancient elements, nicely renedered
Very well done! I agree, the movie was a big disappointment, and compared with your work here, the film looks a bit sad.
cool! I'm very familiar with this novel. The Bradbury novel is great, the "Sound of thunder" episode of the Twillight Zone is OK but the movie that was based on this novel is terrible..
Great novel and great illustration! I remember an episode of The Simpsons when Homer travels back in time and goes berserk, smacking every creature he can find... :)
Stunning work'I am a begginer in c4d' this is incredible work....fantastic lighting..top notch stuff
Stunning work! The balance of elements work perfectly. Nothing looks out of place or "pasted" in as some images can. You do wonderful work.
I love it. As much as I loved the Bradbury's story. Beautifully done, composition is perfect.
Awesome render.
toop scene - top quality
I read this story and THIS is a superb illustration of the prime situation! AWESOME Work!
