The story behind the title:
A Mech with wings is standing on a deserted Mars-like planet.
It seems to be Stranded!


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
******************************************
I created a Mech in 3D Studio R4 at school (100 0ifferent from this),
and decided to create a Mech, since they look COOL!  I modelled everything
in MNM, but some was manually edited.  All textures except Silver1 and Silver3
are original, and were manually made or with my program (which I hope to
release soon).  The fog was added to create an errie atmosphere.  The
mountain's map was created using a program I made (which I hope 
to release soon), and was manually scalled in the scene.  I added wings to 
make it different from other Mechs, and to make it appropriate for the IRTC.
