Description
I made this caterpillar about a year ago and used it in a Bryce image, or two. That's too much work for only a couple of images, so I brought him out of retirement to use in Daz Studio. Unfortunately, he's not poseable, but the hands and arms are separate and moveable in a modeling program.
Made the caterpillar in Amapi Pro. The hookah body in Shapemagic. The orchid, sitar and mushroom in Hexagon. Other plants are by LisaB. Lighting from Dreamlight's Light Dome Pro.

idea influenced by an advertisement from the early 70's by Fender guitar with a guitar and bass playing caterpillar. I'm sure some residual influence from the old Disney animated feature is in there too.

If you want to make enemies give this catapiller to someone to rig. Your rendering under the influence might be an infraction.
Yeah, I remember him from before. Perhaps his hookah line should be a red rope? Grin.
It's very Alice in the Wonderland. Lovely creation!! Well done!!
DLG ---> Beautiful...
