I think i'm a little bit late on the entry but, let's take the challenge... I've started 2 days ago, but i think i can do, let's see..
The idea is you are in a peaceful island with a beautiful vista, taking your desired rest, but alone, with only a beach hut, some coconuts and your longboard, and suddenly a crate comes from the open sea, what's inside you think :confused: maybe a treasure? :star:star:star :eyeRoll, let's open it.... :eek: omg!!! its a Ninteeeeendo sixty foooooour :bow ty lord!... wow... there's no energy here :mad:

i am using maya and photoshop for textures.
i think i'm almost reaching the intermediate level with maya

well, i think this will need some rocks and little vegetation and i'll dive into the texture work, c ya
