praying mantisby *mantisfilm

Digital Art / 3-Dimensional Art / Characters / Miscellaneous

Created in Lightwave 7 and Photoshop.

I did this image for a 3dLuvr contest awhile back and was also featured in the Noir art pack #8. Prints will be available as handouts at the Noir booth at the DA convention.

praying mantis by *mantisfilm is a great example of how a talented 3D artist can capture the intricacies of even the smallest forms of life through a render. Take a look and be amazed. ( Featured by `bluespeed9 )
