Jay-Man Image for April (New Character)

Here is the new format image for my blog! This is the fourth format of the “Year of the Jay-Man” series. Since this month is my birthday (April 25) and Remnants JF (my oldest website, April 3), I thought that Jay-Man would get a birthday present, which is his puppy, Micromut.
Currently Micromut is just a puppy, but will age over the year, as he is featured in other formats.
This image is at a pet shop. I went with a tiled floor, and a glass pin for the puppies. The glass was my biggest mistake, 7 hours rendering. lol 6.5 hours was just for the bottom half of it. :smiley: I put in the bullitin board to add realism to the image, and it features an ad for James Finley (ME!) Web Design, a picture of me and my date for prom, a puppy sitting ad, and an ad for puppies. I think this is one of my first pieces to have a lot of image textures. Last month had one image to make displacement maps on the leaves in the Techno format.
So without further ado, I present Micromut:

C & C are welcome, but format goes up tomorrow. Thanks for viewing.

Looks good, dude. That glass totally rules. I like the dogs too.

agreed, very cool style!

Thank you for the compliments. I am glad that you like it.

I now have the format up at http://jay-eff.com/blog/index2.php. I really like how it turned out.

That’s great! It took me a minute to figure out what it was, but that’s just me. I have been known to be a bit slower than most people :smiley:
