For the Sundew I used p_MegaTK shader with p_scatter_wrap.

The work was made for the contest “Beautiful Beast” on www.render.ru .
It got the first place as a result of the spectators’ voting. According to the jury it was second.

May be, such a predatory plant resulted from closely related hybridization between sundew and Venus’s flytrap, or, perhaps, some secret experiment, ecological catastrophe or nature’s humor might cause it?
Or could it be my caricature on Windows Vista?
I just do not know, why did I remember Windows Vista after words «Beautiful Beast»?

Mithra is a Sungod in the Indoiranian mythology. His cult was spread from India to distant frontiers of the Roman Empire
at the begin of the first millenium AD .

As a prototype of the model I used a Roman sculpture from the British Museum and fotographs of the undestroyed reliefs from the walls of Roman Mithra temples imaging the legendary fight of Mithra with the bull.

Progamms used: Maya, ZBrush, MaxwellRender

This is a liberal interpretation of one of the exhibit items from Dresden museum Albertinum. I've made it for some moths, with no hurry, when I had free time and desire to work. Render was stopped after 4 hours.
