I'm not sure I prefer it, but it's certainly a more interesting structure -
this one's based on Dave Gibbon's version for the Alan Moore story "For the
man who has everything" (the best SM story ever IMHO).

The main issue was I needed something I could model and render fairly
quickly.

Hopefully won't show in the motion-blurred version.

This was deliberate - once again it doesn't really show on the motion
blurred version. Also, I was under the influence of a lovely Bill
Sienkiewicz illustration.

Here's the final version with motion-blur. I'm happy with it - not ecstatic,
but happy.
