Cactus Spine Collector

Recently made some cactus thumbnails, and knew that I wanted to take one of them and push it a bit further with the rendering. And while there were quite a few that I liked, I choose this one since I liked the composition and I felt like it had more of a story than the others. Parts of the final composition could have been better, and some of the scaling is off but I'm pretty happy with how the rendering turned out.
