This started off over two years ago with the building of just the swamp treehouse. As I was modelling the thing, it turned into a huge monster project as I imagined the story of who lived in it which resulted in the 70-plus images you see here.

In this series I was concentrating less on strict 3D modelling and more on creating much more intricate textures than I had done with my previous 3D projects.

Looking back on my earlier 3D stuff, I realized that my textures were pretty simple compared to those of other talented artists. Eni Oken and her elaborately ornamented textures was just one of the many people who kicked me in my artistic pants and inspired me to put more detail in my own textures (thanks, eh!).

Another thing I wanted to try was integrating photos of real people with the main CG character. Thanks to Al Brown for playing the parts of all the soldiers and thanks for my parents for playing the Head Priest and Priestess. Don't worry, I'll never do this kind of thing again.
