Description
Formal Title: "The Last Patch of Snow"
A polar bear rests in the last patch of snow. The snow was in the shadow of a large rock, but now the sun creeps around to turn the snowy patch into a puddle. All around, spring wildflowers bloom among the green fields of grass. At the back of the meadow, mists creep through a forest of fir trees. While, above, light clouds give way to blue skies.
This was actually an image I made in the spring of 2014. The fur however, was so harsh on the cpu while rendering this image, that it was not done until summer, so I decided to wait to publish this one until the following spring.
It just seemed like an image that belongs in March.
I created this image using digital art techniques. The polar bear was posed in Daz Studio where the fur was also added using the LookAtMyHair plug-in. It was then exported to Vue where the rest of the scene was made. I used Vue to do the rendering, then GIMP and Photomatix to enhance the colors an add effects.
