This is an illustration from the second novel in my Summer People Trilogy, which you peruse at http://nuegua.geekopolis.ca
I've entitled this one: "Rintiala Sings The Healing Temple Into Existence". All work was done in Makehuman Alpha 5.1 (for which I apologize) Blender 2.49b (Cretaceous), TopMod 2.23, Gimp 2.6 and Yafaray 0.0.4-313. I've used only Yafaray materials, without texture maps. The mesh lighting with Yafaray is very easy.
