"Time..."

The Idea:

     Well, Marcabros came out with these cool jester things, and SAMS 3D came out with this cool hourglass, so.....

Tools:

     Poser 4, Photoshop 4

Jester texture, shoes, armbands, mask, and collar by Marcabros.
Jester hat by lourdes. (available at Renderosity free stuff.)
Hourglass by SAMS 3D.

Figure:

     This is Michael (2), dressed up in Marcabros' and Lourdes' jester stuff.  That pose is one of the new standing poses, 'in conversation' or something.  I put new hands on, and adjusted the arms a bit.

     The hourglass is an obj from SAMS 3D, with various materials on it.  I made the fancy deco bits fully transparent to take them off, because I couldn't make them look nice.  I decided to stick to a black, white, and gold colour scheme, and that turned out a lot better.
     I tried to also include SAMS 3D's wizard mirror, to have the jester kinda half sticking out of it... but that didn't work out.

     Positioned everything and rendered to tif for an alpha channel, then tried to come up with a background.

Background:

     I started with a nebula picture from AstroPic, and messed it around with filter roulette.  That didn't turn out so hot, so I mixed it back in with the original.  That was too colourful, so I tried to dampen it back down to black, white and gold(ish) colours.  Then I took two more astro pics and composited them on top.
