Description
"Having the courage to stand up
for your beliefs
despite whatever pressures
you encounter."
This is my first piece of artwork (ever). I made this to print and give to my son for his birthday. I wanted to give him something of meaning with a message that he could take with him in life.
Tools used: Bryce, Milkshape3D (for some models), Photoshop (model textures and post-production [signature, light rays]).
I owe very special thanks to Pelican!! He has meant so much in way of advice, inspiration, and encouragement. His images helped for my ideas. I just hope one day to be able to create artwork 1/2 as nice as his.
I also want to thank estevez for his encouragement and comments. His artwork is also such an inspiration.
In addition to the other credits listed, I owe thanks to:
- fish: Toucan and PlanIT 3D
- lobster: jedswindells
- seaweed: Pitter and xceiverx
- coral: Stuie
- octopus, seahorse, starfish: Cafe3D
- shipwreck: PlanIt 3D
- materials: maga, pixel_wonders, and wolfiesden.
Some coral models made by me:
- orangish tentacled one with seahorse.
- yellow/purple tree-like ones in foreground.
- whitish tubular ones.

Thank you all for the compliments! I will make the models I did available as "free stuff" in case anyone would like to use them. Will probably be Sunday when I get them up.

Thanks again, all! I wish I were a "pro" in this area or any others, but I am very pleased with this first work and look forward to my next project (whatever that will be). Now I have to learn how to mat my picture myself - bought a cutter yesterday and mat board (oh, joy). Didn't realize renderosity isn't hosting "free stuff", so if anyone wants my coral presets in a zip (530Kb), just message me with your email and I'll send. Thanks again!

Excellent render. Bravo!!
