Sleeping Gypsy

I have always loved the Sleeping Gypsy by Henri Rousseau in the Museum of Modern Art. I first posed the figure and then I used the fragmentation function. In the sky the horses were also fragmented in several steps. I used a face and combined it with a sphere to make the moon.

Lighting was especially important because I wanted to preserve the quality of night. This was a dream and my monster was made up with a horse's boed and a dragon's head. In the original Rousseau used a lion.
