Obviously, pulp/retro horror-sci-fi inspired. I contemplated using a kitten, but thought the title may push boundaries (use your imagination for that one). I did the renders in two passes due to scaling issues associated with hair. If I scale the dog up, the hairs spread out and are very small. If I scale the set down, it gets very flaky to work with. So I did one master scene, then created 2 spinoffs, attaching everything in the scene to a cylinder (though any shape would have worked). By everything, I mean including the camera, then scaled the cylinder. This kept everything proportionate and framed. Blah, blah, blah. Technically, it was 3 renders. The sky was a an additional pass of an empty scene with just the dome/HDRI visible. Compositing, retouching, paint effects, blurs and distressing were done in Photoshop. Topaz sharpening and denoising were used as plugins for Photoshop, as were some Retouch4me plugins.

Anyway, it's a gigantic wiener. I'd hate to follow that thing around with a scooper and a plastic bag.
