Description
Trapped in Ice and Time is the story of a down on his luck guy who seems to always be caught between a rock and a hard place. Something I can relate to.
This isn't a real book cover BTW. After rendering it, I realized it looked better in either a movie poster or book cover format. Noah J. Atherly is a character from the book I've mentioned before, in which he is a writer. Confusing eh?
Comments/Votes always welcome if you feel the urge.
Thanks for viewing as always!
Poser/Vue/Photoshop
The guy was posed and matted in Poser, put into Vue where it was rendered and just some color correction for postwork (except for the titles of course).

Cool! Literally! LOL The guy almost looks like Tim Allen! Must have been a "more power" thing with the ice maker! Excellent as always Shadow!
Wonderful work and reminds me of the pressure of everydat life. We are indeed caught between work, home life etc. Beautifully portrayed!!
Wow, cool concept and work. Nice puzzled expression on his face.
excellent and marvelous image your put in this day my great friend. it is wonderful and extraordinary talent the one that you have
Superb artwork Shadow. Excellent as always!!
Clever concept and very well executed! My only comment would be about the artifacts on his wrists... what's happening there? I think that this would make a terrific book cover, if only "Noah" would ever complete that manuscript. :o)
That was actually supposed to be a wrist cut, but the shadowing kinda got in the way. Anyway, I decided to do a little postpainting on it to get rid of it...
I love this!!!! the expression is killer - lol - Jane
Totally killer!!!
Extraordinary pic, as usual - the look on the guy's face is so... totally... HUMAN and NATURAL!!! never seen such expressive eyes in a Poser character... My congrats! :)
great stuff - books, magazines, posters are up near the top for me: I love type and printing anyway, and combining with an image is some kind of ultimate pinnacle. [There, urge satisfied!] Keen on the poser work in this one, too!
Oh man...freaky!
What a terrific concept, absolutely perfect for a book cover. Most excellent artwork !
Excellent effects with the lighting, a great image to cover a best sellers novel. well done
As usual great job!!!
