Description This is something which some of my friends will recognize. I've been trying to make this into a finished work for a long while now and I'm not sure that it's actually done. However, I am sure that I don't want to work on it anymore.

This work was beginning to bother me due to the strain it was putting on my system. I was experimenting in Blender with a technique of converting particle strands into curves... It has some cool benefits, but lag isn't one of them. I'm thinking that this will mark one of my last forays in "high poly" rendering, so we'll see what the future holds.

Done in Blender 2.62 with heavy Photoshop

This is pretty amazing indeed. Any chance you could put some specs like how many verts, faces, and tris, and possibly render times?

Very neat. The inner glow adds some nice color, and is especially effective in that shoulder region.
