My remake of the classic painting "Bachus" by Michangelo Caravaggio. Using my own fursona model (striped hyena) as the new impersonation of the God of Wine himself! :D

The picture's look and arrangement is closely based on the original, but all objects & materials visible in the render were made by me, using Blender exclusively. Gimp was used only to overlay the logo on the finished render. A delicate "weathering" has also been added in Gimp, using Blender-derived procedural textures.

Dating back from autumn 2009, it's one of the first "fully fleshed" pictures I've made. And it stands the test of time surprisingly well, given how my skills were much lower back then than now.

As such, it uses the old design of my "personal furry" (it is updated nowadays, with lots of small fixes rather than huge change - but the new 3D model itself hasn't seen much use so far). It also uses old scanline rendering technology, Blender's own internal renderer. It had no fancy physically correct trinkets back then. ;) With the fur, sometimes it worked better, like here, sometimes worse.
