IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


Being alone is being away from those who understand you.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


It was a fairly simple scene to create. I modified an existing face model I had
to smooth out the features on the head, like the mouth, eyes and ears. I copied
the model and placed it randomly throughout the scene. I placed the same
texture on every model, except for the black material on one of them. The sky
in the background is just a plane with a few mixed noise maps applied to it. I
also added a Film Grain and Color Balance (tinting the colours slightly yellow)
Render Effect in Max and increased the gamma, contrast and brightness a little
in PSP.
