Seeing as it's the year of the snake for Chinese New Year today, I thought why not make a nice picture of the Serpent himself, showing off one of his many, many incarnations. The skin texture is a mix of an old texture for Hiro 4 and my own designs, namely the snake skin texture mixed in (including a slight displacement map for the scales).
This is my first time toying with depth of field, and I'm pretty satisfied with the results. That snake was a pain in the ass to pose though >_<
