Aliens

Early 2019 (about a year ago), during the development of Blender 2.80, I did lots of experiments to learn the new interface/understand features/curse at my favorite shortcuts changing and dying every other week. One of them is the above. Had to put it on hold at the time because the hair system kept biting me (the risk of using pre-alpha software), but have now come back and finished it. All that was needed was to give the ant (yet another) hair cut, a lighting pass and then the usual tweaks and polishing. All a bit silly really. Was originally thinking of adding a kitten, about to pounce, but couldn't make it work whilst keeping the extreme bokeh, which is essential to the look.
