Description

"Buffalo At Dawn"

At the crest of a grassy hill in the plains of the American West, a might buffalo stands in the cold morning air. The dark brown hair of the bison's coat contrasts sharply with the bright orange, yellow and reds of the dawn sky. Yet the light of the rising sun still gives the animals fur a subtle halo.

This work was a bit of a struggle for me. The complex sky and fur of the animal caused the render engine to take weeks then crash when it was 80% done. I wound up having to rely on a lot of digital painting techniques to get this one done.
