Exercise 4 - McNally

My image was inspired by Sandy's treedome in the TV show, Spongebob Squarepants. In the show, Sandy is the only one in the group of the underwater creatures who is meant to be on land, she is a squirrel. So, in order to tolerate life underwater Sandy wears an astronaut suit so that she can breath and live like everyone else. Sandy's residence is what inspired my image. Sandy lives in a transparent, spherical dome that encloses a bright green lawn and a great tree. I wanted to capture an image where you were standing on the lawn with the tree in your peripheral vision, and you are looking up through the transparent dome to the surface of the blue ocean. The image didn't come out as well as I had wished, while making the tree I found it hard to mimic it in geometric forms in form z, so the rendering didn't really represent the depth of the foliage that I was aiming for.
