IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    Welcome to a world filled with imagination. A fictitional
place
        where even roaches have a place to play.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    All the objects in this scene were
created using
        constructive solid geometry except the wings on the roaches.  I used
s-patch for them.
        
        The real trick in getting this scene to look right was adding everything
that is not
        directly seen in the picture.  Sure you see the dominos, the watch,
coins and all. 
        But what adds to the warmth of the picture is the rest of the room. 
Because the watch
        and the spheres are reflective I needed to create a room for them to
reflect.  This
        required creating several pieces of furniture, a fireplace, windows,
doors, even the
        light fixture on the ceiling.  The walls are made of boxes with an image
map wall paper
        added to each.  Then I added the doors and the windows, arranged the
furniture, and
        added lights where they would normally be. (i.e. the fireplace, the
windows, etc.)
        The end result brought more realism to the picture.
