Here's the final (for now) version of my Chrysalid pic. I'm not 100% happy with everything in it (and this time I did a full render and still got jaggies! >:o/) but I'm ready to quit tweaking this one for now and go on to my next project. Thanks for the advice and help, guys, and if you have any more, feel free to give it!

as far as the jaggies, sometimes Bryce's antialias just doesn't do it. If you want to take the extra time, set rendering to fine artr quality
