Description
We just finished a Wings challenge, and this appears to be the final rendering of the model. Modeled entirely in Wings and texture mapped in uvmapper. Bryce 5 renderer.
This is a Sun Katsina doll, a traditional figure of the Hopi people of the Southwest United States. The masque and kilt sash are completely traditional designs of Hopi artisans from the last 100-plus years. The Sun Katsina to the Hopi is said to be the most sacred.
EDIT (27 August, 2004): I just uploaded a version of this Katsina in a scene that I had envisioned. If you get a chance, check it out:
