Story:
Kneeling on the shore-line at the outer banks, Arial guards the path to the sacred sea from trespassers.

Design:
The atmosphere and landscape were created & designed using Vue 7.5. The female character was designed with Poser and further adjusted in Cinema 4D. Character's clothing and textures painted & applied using Cinema 4D's BodyPaint 3D. Additional image refinement was done in Photoshop. The final render was done in Widescreen format.

The landscape is designed as the shoreline to a beach...looking out toward the open sea. Small mounds are dotted along the shoreline. The mounds are filled with several different types of plant life and sea coral. The Sacred Sea is divided into two contrasting areas. On the left hand side of the horizon a storm is brewing, on the right side clear and peaceful skies.
