Inspired by EON, a novel by Greg Bear

This was my entry in the EON challenge. Apologies to Greg Bear for taking this along a path about as far removed from his beautiful hard-sci-fi approach as possible.

I was trying to push my 3D work further and further towards my 2D cartoon style, hunting for a solution that combined the colour and whimsy of my drawings (mostly kids' book illustration) with the eye-catching depth and sparkle of 3D.

This scene was modeled in Cinema 4D and glued together in Photoshop. Thanks to all the folks who offered support and wonderful ideas along the way.

The competition's been judged now, and my congratulations go to the winners.

As always, any comments or crits are very welcome
