Yep, after this bottle of red I'm sure I'll feel that way tomorrow.

Thanks very much y'all!

Smooth, I used physical sky + sun and some Photoshop post-processing.

Cheers!

Thanks Carlosark!

Concerning noise reduction: I'm a very satisfied user of Neat Image (www.neatimage.com). With the right settings NI really rocks. But I've just discovered that Photoshop CS 2 offers a native noise reduction filter that is quite okay as well.

Further Maxwell noise reduction guidelines can be found at the bottom of my Maxwell knowledge base:

Thank you very much.

Because Maxwell renders so realistic I like to create a blend between stylism and realism, comparable with claymation.

Cheers,

:D Okay, let's call it "Here comes the Sunday" :) I'm going out in a few minutes, so there is a statistically large chance I will feel like this guy tomorrow.

Cheers! :)

:D Sunday has arrived in the mean time, and over here in the Netherlands even the rare sun has arrived. I've got no hangover, but do feel a little like my character, because I got diarrhoea last night, after drinking two Cuban Mohito mixes. :? Maybe I should create a follow-up to the image with a brown spot on the matrass and call it "Here comes the diarrhoea!" ;)
