Ive made the beginnings of the set. It kind of looked a bit funny I thought. I think because ive been lighting it as I go along, had the thought that it would be better if I just relit it at the end when Ive finished making it all. But I did a render test to see if I could render the background at the same time as the creature, expecting mental ray to crash. But it didnt. So I thought I'd post the result up, which gives an idea of the direction I want to take this. I will add some more detail to the background, both for interest and for composition sake, but the overall effect is there or there abouts, with the aquamarine colour working off the red and blue lighting on the character. I played around with some stuff in Photoshop on top. Just playing, wanted to add some DOF in the final render.
