Snow Monster

Another one for the Avalanche blog. Someone just asked me where I got the idea from, and I told him it just came to me. What I didn't tell him that I breathed, slept, ate and drank Calvin and Hobbes throughout my entire childhood.

the lighting is fantastic! great specular and occlusion!
I gotta ask though, did you use the same layers throughout for a few of the details?
