Here's my entry in The Journey Begins Challenge.

The story I decided on went pretty much like this: The lab rat and mouse are fleeing the laboratory and setting to sea in search of the mythical Rodent Island where mice and rats run free in the sunshine. It's a tough call to say whether or not they'll make it though. I mean, the ocean's pretty big out there.

The scene was created in three main sections (out-of-focus foreground leaves, foreground main elements and watery/seashore background). Software used was Cinema 4D. The fur was created in Cinema's Hair Module. Final comp work was done in Photoshop. The high res shows where a lot of my time and effort went so please feel free to check it out.

Comments are always welcomed and have played a big part in this work already. Many thanks to all concerned
