This Image was originaly rendered for a workshop I've written for magazine ImagineFX ( issue28).

Noa lives in and operates a little Gothic Refinery. It's a cozy place she can call home. Her closest companion is her pet Toy Rabbit (named T.R.01) to whom she can speak her heart. Otherwise she is really quite a shy creature, not very fond of having visitors over, or travelling to the 'outside'.

Please let me know what you think

Please notice The ImagineFX workshop focuses on the character design and ways of creation as a whole. The short explanation on my site explains only the process of further detailing the surroundings - the way I created the fireflies and flowers)
