Description

When I first started to compose this, it was going to be a cowboy, but then I recalled the famous statue by James Earle Fraser, called "The End Of The Trail" with an Indian and horse in a similar pose. So, I'll give a tip of the hat to Mr. Fraser as an inspiration. Rendered the desert scene first, added the text, then applied it on a 2D square with the same brick bump map and set it on the wall. After the initial render, I made another with the ground, trashcans and steps white and then erased, painted and cloned between layers to get the snow, in Photoshop. Structure by Stonemason

OMG! Excellent image, and using "The End of the Trail" image (instead of the cowboy) was brilliant -- whole new layers of meaning here. Terrific!

Agree with Bobby. This is superb. I'm assuming you use the brick texture to add bump to the 2d plane. I would never have thought of that. Again, this is amazing.
