IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

This summer I was really bored, so even a stupid idea like a fish driving a car
seemed interesting. So I started making one. Then I realized it was pretty
good, so I checked the IRTC topic. When I saw it was Elements, I realized I
could incorporate the four classic elements (stone, fire, air, and water) into
the picture. So I did. Most of the picture is easy to figure out, but you may
not know where the air is. Those two funnel looking things on the side are
tornadoes. No, I'm not nuts.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Most of my POV files is self-explanatory, as I put comments in, identifying
everything. The only things you really need to know are:

I used the Moray texture editor to create all the textures, which I then copied
into POV-Ray. I also used Moray to create the fins for the fish using a bezier
patch.

I used Paint Shop Pro to create the simple image map for the road (the yellow
lines).
