IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

As my epic adventure began, the city became my playground. I waved my magic wand
to summon all the visitors. I tried to keep my balance as an eerie feeling came
over me, I felt as if a thousand invisible eyes were watching me. I waved my
magic wand again, trying to escape.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

This is a tribute to all those who contribute to free stuff. Thank you to all
the modelers and texture makers who make their creations available for free on
the Internet.

Figure was created in Poser 5. Cape is a lattice. The hat and sparkles from the
wand are 2D picture objects. Texture, bump and transparency maps were all
edited or created in Corel PHOTO-PAINT 10. Some objects were altered or edited
using LightWave 7 and Amapi Pro 7. The camera is positioned behind a
transparent sphere that was flattened; looking through the flattened sphere
creates the effect that the image is bending slightly. The only light in the
image is the sun. The ground texture was set to white and ambiance was turned
all the way up. Atmosphere was turned off completely and the background was
also set to white. It took seven days to render on my Pentium 1 GHz with 128 MB
RAM. I thought it was never going to finish before the deadline!
