"Exspirits"

meaning:
there's a tiny paradoxon, because if somebody wants us to illustrate "nature", we suddenly 
leave the need of realistic projections. This is what inspired me to create this piece. And it 
had been a good opportunity to make some experiments with a strange shader plugin named "disgust". 
The whole scene has got not a single bitmaped texture. I've only used procedural textures, and 
it's always a challange and a pleasure to let them be good enough for a whole picture. 
Actually the whole scene within each model and texture took me 9hours of work, means 
one night, and this had been the last night, so I felt a little bit under pressure. (as usual) 
...the picture is the naked render-result of Lightwave, untouched by any other software. 
...I've used morphing for the placement of the procedural textures. Almost everything is a "Metaform"- 
victim...(this time I havn't frozen the patches)
  
I hope it's been a funny add on to the contest entries, and I'm keen on watching at all pix to this inspiring topic! =) 
  
Thanx in advance, if You decide to let it in (that late)!  Otherwise, doesn't matter, it's been enough fun producing it!  8)
