Lotus test render

Here is my latest rendering test. This should give you a loose idea of how I want the final to look.
Right now I'm working on making things a little more painterly. Perhaps I'll take a page from Disney's paper with the painterly effects they used in Bolt.
UPDATE: The painterly technique used by Disney involved roughening up the normals of the object so that it reflects light differently. Since I am not using any sort of lighting, this probably won't be the right solution.
