The estimated time it took to do this picture probably seems impossible. Well, that's because it is. I made the Hoppip model and left it sitting around awhile, not sure what to do for its background. Finally I decided to use the mine entrance in the mountainside, a 3D scene I had created a few years earlier (for a project that never saw completion) and probably took 30+ hours. It seemed to work well with Hoppip, and the fact that it was sort of like mixing a past and present project inspired me to choose the title that I did.
