Darn, there goes my orange crayon...

I wanted to concentrate on lighting and texture rather than a crazy idea.

I live for Autumn

This was a quick Illustrator creation.

I'm more of a Brunette kind of guy, but a lot of people like redheads. What do you guys (And Girls) prefer? Full view is much bigger. Take a look.

OK, it's a tangerine, not an orange, but it's orange :)

Agent Orange: code name for mixture of 2,4,5.-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid.

It was used in the Second Indochinese War, commonly called the Vietnam War. It was later revealed (for the manufacturers and US government knew all along) that it contained a dioxin, which was a potent poison that caused carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic reactions in many of those exposed to it during vietnam. It recieved its name for the Orange Stripe painted around the barrels in which it was stored.

Ultimately ... it killed my grandfather.
