IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

My take on a world within a world (no this is not my brain, and no 2 of the neurons are not inhibitory). Little bit of a stretch on the topic, but as I view it, both the outside universe and internal human physiology are energetic incomprehensibly complex worlds with a human squished somewhere inbetween.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

Created the meshes using Wings -- great subD surface modeler BTW, converted with 3DWin, and then fiddled with the texture. SEM effect is made with a pigment slope map, a little bump mapping and subtle scattering media. For the texture see the newsgroups. No zip file attached.
