IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


This image is an amalgamation of the Frankenstien theme and the mush older
belief in homunculi, with a little bit of invasion of the body snatchers thrown
in for good measure. 


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


The architectural part of the scene is based on an image I did for the very
first Matt Cruse competition. It has been re-worked, re-scaled and re-textured.
The Pipes in the scene were created using Gilles Trans pipe macro in
conjunction with some pipes I made for specific effects. The chains were
created using the link macro by Chris Colefax. I used a rusty texture for the
chains based on earlier texture experiments I made for the history round.

The homunculi is as poser 3 figure. I coded the liquid filled jar by hand around
the figure.

There are 3 light sources in the image. All diminish with distance. The scene
was rendered with radiosity.

Proably my shortest description yet :)
