Somewhere in the prehistoric rocky mountains, an Indian hunter peers around a boulder at a lone bison. The bull somehow got separated from the herd and the tracker has been on its trail for days. Now, he's found it. Unfortunately, he has only one atlatl dart left, and the bull is huge.
This is for the "Snow Hunt" Contest.
Note this scene uses purchased content. The hunter and bison were posed in poser then imported into Vue where the rest of the scene was constructed. Final rendering was done in Vue and took about 24 hours on an Intel I5 2.8 GHz with 8 GB of RAM. Post production was also done in GIMP.
I love the way you used the arch of the hunter's body to frame one sine of the painting and guide the viewer's eye through the composition. Very impressive work.
