Hi guys,
Been a while since I posted any work.
Had a bit free time to play around this weekend and decided to do something that was a little more abstract than my usual fare.
The colour could be a little out as I'm working on my laptop, and it really needs calibrating.
Had fun doing this, and might continue a bit further yet, as it's been a bit slapped together so far.

That is wild! I like.
I like also............shame we don't have subsurface scattering. :'(
Looks nice Chris!
The light is remarkable... Fantastic.
The terrain reminds me of A Nightmare Before Christmas a little, but with an updated feel to it.
Cheers guys, glad you like it.
I get the Tim Burton reference now you mention it, though it wasn't intentional at all.
Chris
Wow, that's different. Now I really do wish there was a "like" button here
nIcE slapping Chris... great effect!
beautiful results...
Burtonesque indeed!
:)

Yes, really ingenious, and good that you post again. Keep that up! And now for the big question: did you use a VDisp map, or procedural redirects, vortexes and/or blue stuff?
Well we may not have SSS but whatever you've used (transparency?) it looks just as awesome! Wonderful stuff...
Thanks again for the kind comments.
Working in cg every day, it's not very conducive to spending my free time doing more cg, but it's nice to do something that's a little more creative and less directed. I'd love to do more things like this on a regular basis.
It was sculpted and brought into tg as vdisp.
I did try several different techniques in tg to get the type of translucency I was looking for but I just couldn't match what I'd intended for the shot. So in the end I ran a subsurface pass through vray and added the sss pass to the tg layers. I'd normally persevere with a tg render but this was meant to be a fun quick piece so I thought what the hell.
As I suspected, the colour is very different on my work monitor, so I'll probably re-grade it a little when I get a moment.
Chris
Great mood!
Looks like a perfect BG matte of a kinda "magic ice world" scene of an upcoming CG fairy-tale.
Really cool!
Beautiful.
Really sweetly done.Love the shapes and the colouring. I must get my head round this vdisp techniques.

Cheers guys
Very nice and original work!
