This is the green lantern destroying the earth, or something like that. I used a spotlight from his hand extending toward the earth to create the glow everywhere. I used a globe texture file and texture mapped the sphere to be the earth. From the light, it looks like he is pushing all the continents away from where his light hits. The model is the green lantern, who I had to pose to stick his arm forward and have his other arm down. The background is a square who I also texture mapped, such that I could get the reflections onto it but still have the background. I rendered it from about 6:30pm to 10:30am, and unfortunately it didn't quite finish entirely, probably due to anti-aliasing and the green lantern being made up of a ton of points. Nevertheless, all the major features of the scene are visible. You can actually see his face in the reflection of the earth, which is interesting.
