Thanks, Digi.

Here are some test renders with temporary textures.
I also gave him a very simple rig.

BTW, this plugin of mine made riging each arm take less than 5 seconds:

"This is how big my horns are when they are streight" :p

Thanks Rigley.

After a break, I worked on it a bit more.

I'd love to here any comments, critics, or ideas to make it better.

BTW, it looks best in a dark room.

One crit Kvaalen - in the gash in the groundplane, I'm not sure if those darker areas are shadow or not, but it kind of looks as though the surface texture is stretched (kind of like you'd applied the textures as a planar map in the Y axis)...

I see what you mean, all the enviornment is procedurals and gradients, no textures (even the sky and smoke are only a texture enviornment ).
For the gash, there is a gradient in the color channel and a gradient as the alpha for the bumps and diffuse.
I suppose I should give it some more luminosity to get rid of the shadows.

Thanks for pointing it out.
