IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

A little bit of 50's cold war paranoia a la "War of the Worlds" and old
sci-fi magazine covers.  I don't think an artist should say a whole lot
here as the viewer may get a totally different take than the artist's
intent, and this is good.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


Tree in the foreground was a free download from http://www.3dforest.com,
imported and then textured in bryce.  Alas, 3dforest.com doesn't seem to
be around anymore.

Ants came from free downloads at http://www.3dcafe.com/asp/animals.asp, but
unfortunately no text file to credit anyone.

I don't remember where the flying saucers came from, just one of many freebies
on the internet I guess.  Again, no text file was included so I cannot credit
the designer.

Fleeing woman created in poser, exported to obj file, then imported and 
retextured in bryce.

Ants were textured with a material called "corrugated rust" to give a mech
feel, as well as age.  Invasion is old hat for these fellows.  I think they
come from Mars, but don't quote me on that please.
