Here I try to portray Hamlet reflecting on life, death, and the great beyond, juxtaposing light and darkness, being and... well, you get the point
This scene was created from scratch over a day and a half for a recent 3d weekend challenge. Some additional work (reposing, various tweaks) was done to reach this particular render.
Minimal post work has been performed here (levels, resizing, title addition). Grain is not from post work but primarily from intentionally low ambient occlusion settings as well as intended from textures and lamps. Glow is mostly from volumetric lighting and Blender's internal sequencer.
As always, comments about my work are most appreciated.
