IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


        Loneliness is a human emotion caused by isolation(physical, social etc.)
from other people.   The reason I choose a space scene was because you can
achieve perfect isolation there.  You can scream as loud as you like and no-one
will hear you.  You can be freezing to death, while your friend 2 metres away
is scorched to death.   Another reason for choosing space was that the Universe
may be teaming with intelligent life, but humans have never made contact with
any other intelligent species.   The space station which is meant to look like
it is under construction, represents mankind's first footsteps towards coming
out of this isolation. 


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


        First I created the helmet, with the help of a tutorial in PC Format. 
Then I made a simple upper torso.   The planet is simply a sphere.   The space
station was created by using rectangles for the solar panels, cylinders for the
main body, and a hexagonal prism frame for the parts under construction.  The
spaceship is just a lathe object with pipe objects for legs.   The Sun and the
rocket glow were created by using lightsources.  The lense effects and glows
are features of Cinema 4d's rendering process.
