This was the first Bryce image I managed to complete. I had tried the traditional landscapes and "new age" type images with Poser figures but could never come up with anything I liked. I jokingly thought to myself that I'd probably have better results putting terrains onto the Poser figures rather than trying to put Poser figures into my landscapes. Then Jac Grenfell submits his "Bryce Hog" and his modeling tutorial to Bruce Macleod's Bryce Gallery and suddenly the idea didn't seem so silly anymore. I started diddling around in the Terrain Editor making all kinds of weird shapes and began slapping them all over this poor Poser 2 figure. Since I still couldn't do a landscape to save my life, I decided to enclose the figure within this domed structure I created using the newly discovered boolean function. Since everything began to look vaguely organic, I envisioned this symbiotic relationship and modeled the tendrils emerging from the figures back onto this living power core type thingy.

The difficulty I had creating the curved structures provided a bit of direction for my Bryceing. Most of my subsequent images are attempts in some way or another to model shapes that really move through three dimensions.
