IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    Alien comes to earth, but needs to see things through
      the eyes of the indigent creatures.  After finding an unwilling
      donor, he puts the modified lens over his own eye... remember
      the movie "War of the Worlds." In that movie, the earthlings
      used an alien lens to see how they might see us.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    I just upgraded to Studio 5.5
  which has a bunch of new stuff.  I tried out everything I could think
  of using.  I used Blobs for the skull, body, and hand.  I used Painter
  3d (that's included) for the skin textures and eyes.  I used the Mesh 
  program for the jaws.  I also used KPT3 (that was also included) to make
  textures and the gel for the lights.
