DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE IMAGE WAS CREATED:
Sorry, I'm running out of time, and I'm writing this
quickly.
The models are made by me, except for the poser kid.
The models were all made in Hamapatch except for the 
guitar case, the strange globe on the black tower
and the house which are CSG.
There is a heightfield on the dish to make the
sea ground.
The sea is a disc using media.
The ground is made of 2 layers: 
- a plane with a normal and 
- a function pigment used in a heightfield.
This last one was imported into the scene using
the Insert Code plugin (by Luis).
The seashells were made using the fabulous SeaShell
plugin (by Philippe Gibone).
There are 2 pointlights and 1 arealight in the scene.
The scene was rendered using antialiasing 0.1. I used 
The Gimp to edit and to create the image maps, and also
to add the title and the signature, to adjust the 
brightness and contrast and to convert from png to jpg. 
Hope you like it
