Description
If you've seen "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", you'll know what this is. If not, maybe you can enjoy the image anyway. :^)
Grenade and chest (except for the lining and metal filigree in the front which are Bryce terrains) were created in Wings. Rendering and texturing in Bryce. The terrifying beast is the 9-lives Poser cat morph with postwork in Photoshop Elements.

excellent attention to detail, i really love it! it reminds me of the holy grenades in that worms pc game from long ago :D
And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'
