This piece was inspired by a painting by Peter Paul Rubens. It just started as a study last November and then gradually developed into a serious work. Maya was used to make the basic mesh and for shading and rendering.. Sculpting was done in Mudbox and ZBrush. Composited in Photoshop. The background is a photograph. My sincere thanks to RebeccaK and all my other friends in the "Artistic Anatomy and Figurative Art" forum. I wouldn't even have thought of doing this if it wasn't for them... and thanks to all who gave me valuable suggestions and encouragement in the WIP thread.
