NOT MY CONCEPT

I am also in love with this piece. I love it so much I don't want to stop working on it. So I am declaring it a work in progress still. I have some noise issues to resolve, yet.  I like to call this 'Botanical Drawing' because I think it belongs in a morbid anatomical sketchbook.

Sculpted in Zbrush, modeled in Maya, painted in Mari and rendered in Arnold. 

Arnold is the best renderer. I wish I had known about it earlier. This was my first piece using Arnold. 

NOT MY CONCEPT. I also can't find the artist. I have scoured the internet and cannot find who is responsible for this awesome illustration.
