IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


Steam engines, a technology that hit _The end of the line_. 

This is a portrait of such an engine. The setting is the western desert, where 
rust is black, moisture absent, and the atmosphere is thin. The image could be 
from a vintage black and white wet-plate camera that barely registers blue, and

the print has been hand tinted. 


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


Rhino 3d for the engine and heightfields of near ground and background. 

Cinema 4d procedural maps for the distant mountains and sky, bitmap for dirt and

engine rust. The weeds and sparrows were models obtained from the web.
