This Image was originally rendered for a workshop I've written for magazine ImagineFX ( issue28).

Noa lives in and operates a little Gothic Refinery. It's a cozy place she can call home. Her closest companion is her pet Toy Rabbit (named T.R.01) to whom she can speak her heart. Otherwise she is really quite a shy creature, not very fond of having visitors over, or travelling to the 'outside'.

As this Image has been further worked since the time the workshop was published,
I've posted a short explanation of the work that went into this image since I've left off the original tutorial.

( Please notice The ImagineFX workshop focuses on the character design and ways of creation as a whole. The short explanation on my site explains only the process of further detailing the surroundings - the way I created the fireflies and flowers)
