BS: Today's digital painting

I love Dali, Escher and Magritte for thier surrealism.

This one reminds me of all 3, with a little cubism thrown in for good measure.

If anyone ever wonders how these are made ... a cheap 3D program like Vue makes it easy.
I first made a hollow duodecagon in a mirror material. I put in some violin models, a disk shape and and a photo of Hiefitz along with various lights.
Then one moves the program's camera around inside the mirrored 12 sided shape until something looks interesting and click, after messing around for hours on end, poof...its done.

These do look better at Full Resolution but aren't convienient for viewers...

Using this internal mirror box technique I have made many different kinds of pictures.

If you want to send me some pictures of yourselves I could stick them in my magic mirror box and see what happens.

OK OK so no one sent a photo of themselves so I'll start it out.

I threw in a photo of me from Valentines day into the magic mirror box.

There is room for 23 more.

PS
yes I have a heart on.
