SPP Assignment

Find an image that speaks to you in some way






















I first saw this image at secondary school in an English lesson and it was given to us in an assignment. The assignment was to write a story about who he was, how he got there and why he was there. I took on the assignment with a lot of enthusiasm and really went wild with my imagination. Since then I have imagined other but more shorter stories around the image. I think it's a great image and one that can easily spark the imagination.

This is the first time I've used the bump map in 3Ds Max and the first time I've experimented with lighting (as last year I was using Maya). Please leave your thoughts.
