IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Some ants doing their thing around some of their eggs.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The ant and egg were modelled in spatch, terrain heightfield done in Photoshop.
Moray was used for scene layout and texture editing (I love that texture
editor).
Paintshop pro was used for PNG->JPG conversion and the adding of my name.
The long render time was from a high antialias setting, I wanted the little ant
antenae and legs to show up as best as possible.
