I made this because I was super bored. The shape and style was kind of based off of some work i saw by an artist named Nick Campbell. I used Blender 2.64 and rendered in Cycles with 200 passes. I did a bunch of color correction in Photoshop CS6 and also added the lens flare and dust to add some "realism" I guess. More info about it here, http://davidzerba.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/boredom/
