IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

An homage to the famous book of Antoine de Saint-Exupery. On the other hand,
this is an homage to Jaime and Gilles too (see their image "Reach for the
stars" http://www.oyonale.com/iss/english/index.htm).



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

For this one, my goal was to make something "interesting" by using minimal
resources :
An isosurface as desert, a sky sphere, some meshes for the starfield, a biplane
found on the web, a poser boy, a smoke trail based on the Rune's particle
macro, lights (theatre style), that's it.

PS: Sorry for the bad gradient of the sky sphere due to the jpg compression. A
png version is downloadable (prince.zip).
