The final piece is 3000 but I put in the required 1600 and named it small... (the big one shows ALL the details better!) I have not put it on my website yet... since it's not signed, etc... But I've gone as far as my nerves can handle, it took TONS of post to get the shadow in, compile the layers (background, Lisa's starweed as a hedge, birds, etc. besides the 'spinach' food that Luna hates. and FYI I do love Loki's textures for the onesie! 
Also the high chair obj has material zones so I could replace the pad of the chair with a good modern texture (the checks). That prop is really outstanding! The background is "Backyard living" ground/fence from Rendo. I used a freebie morphing tissue for the "napkins"... and I used my own cast shadow action to put the shadows in... even had to cut a piece of it and place it OVER Dusk's food, as the table cloth would shade his foot too! Oh and the Luna hair I painted with effects... I have a how to on that but keeping that web page 'secret' while contest is going on.
I really needed to get done, it was starting to drive me crazy and too, I want to create an art piece with the new tack that I have in mind...so I can help spread the word on this fantastic model!!!
PS I did decide to put my original size image on my website, on an unlinked page...so contact me by PM if you want to see it... I'd rather not have that link "in public" until I can sign it, add credits, etc.

Hmm... only 10 days left, and my computer has been tied up rendering an image for another contest for almost a week now (Iray really does work better if you have a good graphics card--which I don't!). Will have to see if my idea makes it in on time...

Well, the final render only took 3 days, 4 hours, and 17 minutes. It was just the test renders and tweaking that made it take so long. I'm starting work on my (hopefully) entry into this contest now. We'll see whether I make it or not...

I'd definitely recommend the HW horse, he's the best out there

Question... "Minimum of Dawn and Dusk and one other HiveWire figure (including Luna and Harry the HiveWire Horse)" I don't know all the Hivewire characters... Is this all there is???? Just these 2 others?

I guess it would depend on whether you count all of Ken's gazillion-and-one birds...

At this stage Hivewire have produced and released the figures Dawn, Dusk, Luna and the Hivewire Horse (aka Harry) and are working on other figures at the moment.
