I have 2 different images for you tonight.

The first is one of my rare forays into what some would deem "fan art". This little doodle was inspired by a character in Richard K. Morgan's novel Market Forces.

Market Forces isn't my favorite Morgan novel, that distinction belongs to Altered Carbon, but the prose generates vivid images in my minds eye.

Chris here was a little tough to picture at first so I whipped up a sketch to help solidify him in my imagination. The cartoonish style was as much of a surprise to me as it probably is to you. To me the book feels like a cartoon (a very, very dark cartoon) so that's how I render the imagery in my head.

The second image is a work in progress render of procedurally generated terrain created in 3DS Max.

I used the 3DS Max sunlight system to generate the lighting.

I'll post more shots as it evolves.
