Description
Inspired by some of Faemike55's experimentation with the CHK2033 skull, I spent most of this evening doinking around with this bloody thing. After a bit of playing around in the material room with different transparencies, reflections and so on, I came up with this. I don't think the current owners of the Mitchell-Hedges specimen are likely to come after this one, but Indiana Jones might be interested.
I added a few other props as listed below, imported the background from Pixeluna and ChuckNepo's beautiful Lavinia's Tale package, rendered in Poser 8, and did a bit of postwork in Photoshop.
Now, I have both G4 and Arawen standing behind me, arms folded, and tapping the floor with thier feet, so I'm getting back to work on page 6 of my TNA series.
Hope everyone has a great weekend! And thanks so much for all the comments, faves, and comments! They are always appreciated!

Rod, your smooth integration of your 3-d elements with the 2-d background never ceases to amaze me. There are no boundaries. A scene with no characters and yet you still make me sit up and take notice. Great job on the skull work and reflections.
Rich imagination can always take us to a place that's never been seen. I could tell that you have let go of your creativity with this work, Rod. Such a phenomenal masterpiece!

Fantastic work Rod! Very nicely done!
VERY IMPRESSIVE my friend!! Great job with the transparency and composition! I like it. But, don't piss off the ladies. They are going to hurt you.
