The figure was done using the new ZSphere tool as well as the blades of the weapons and the breastplates. The rock formations were built up using the spraybrush tool. I used a fog alpha to add a slight bit of texture to the fog. For the lighting I used a white overhead light with an aperature of 180 degrees and shooting out 300 shadow rays. I used a brown shadowless fill light to simulate light reflecting off of the ground. I used two red shadowless pointlights for the light emitting from the meteors or whatever they are. The meteors were made by placing a few small spheres randomly throughout the scene using a glow material. I used the hookbrush to create the trails. Here's a link to a complete walkthrough of how the image was put together: http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=007914
