IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


The sand castles all we build. 
Just an evening peer out of crags
We must go away, left single
Castle from the sand.
But time wash away
Dreams and hopes,
Sand castle melt
And the world become a hole

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


This simple scene. The castle - poligonal model with smooth.
To add burrs i offen used sculpt surface tool.
To construct the water surface i take a poly plane, make
displasment vertices and apply Sin deformer to make small wave.
Crab - single nonpoly object. I use subdivision, because it most simple
way to create small detail model for me.
