Description
An Iray render. The sky and fairy twinkles were rendered separately and later added as new layers to the image. Water is one of the HARDEST things to render well in my experience -- and happily Iray has been able to render it very well!
Presiding over water and rain, TLALOC was one of the most important deities of the Aztec pantheon. For some reason he was always depicted with goggle-eyes and a row of pointy teeth (or at least two tusks), and sadly, he received human sacrifices. Here I indulge my imagination in giving him a slightly different interpretation. ;)

Yes, it is! ;)
Great work.
Fantastic scene and characters, love the water!

Wonderful imagery, KT. Love the waterfall and splashes. Yeah, IRAY sure has me hooked (LOL).
Fantastic image. Nice interpretation of the mythical figure.
I love the temple that you used as a background and TLALOC is phenomenal - pose and the outfit that you gave him. An excellent creation KT!
A superb scene and atmosphere that reminds me of Lara Croft's adventures in the Tomb Raider series. Excellent graphics!
What a fascinating scene, perfectly done. Here all fits together very well. Particular attention should be paid to the flowing water, a real masterwork!
Marvelous concept and realization... Outstandingly done once again !
