Lightning Speed

This... was so much fun
Something a little different than what I've done before! 

Time:
(approximate estimates) 
Mesh model: 5 hrs
UV Unwrapping/Creating and Placing Textures: 2 hrs
Rigging: 4/5 hrs (still more to be done)
Render: 3 hr, 15 min at 5000 samples 1080 x 1920 
Editing Render in GIMP: 1 hr 

Anyway:
Created/Rendered in Blender 2.70
Post-Render edits in GIMP (free programs for the win) 
Entire image and all its contents are created original by me.
