it looks nasty that ant ;) nice modeling, I think something really creepy and apocalyptic could come out of it, B movie type of thing. Just a minor complain, the "legs" are a little too thin in the extremes compared to the reference photo, besides that, really neat model.

Ok, a couple of more days at the end of the contest.
Maybe I'll be able to finish! Should I put the ants to complete my idea.

I need a help, can someone tell me where to find the post about the fog and volumetric effects? I used to smoke effects are normally expected to give a "comet."
I also wanted to know if I can use PS to blur the "comet" at the end of my work?
Thank you.

There I will do it!! ;)
Now I go to sleep! Here in Italy it is early morning 6.00 am. :o
