Eos And Aurora - Saviours Of The Poserverse! ("Mars - Bringer Of War" from Holst's "The Planets" starts playing, and a very loud, melodramatic 1950's style voiceover reads the backstory as it does the cliched perspective scroll) (The text in brackets is spoken 'soto voce', and appears on-screen in asmaller font)... "Aurora and Eos - twin sisters from the planet Hvwr - blasted into different dimensions by the great cataclysm The unforeseen consequences of the simultaneous use of Underlord Zad's Regenesisiciser and Urchon Sm's Triaxifier rent the Poserverse asunder Only the Dson wormhole remained as a conduit between the two realms (however, the older generation still seemed able to 'jaunt' between realms at will) Although separated in time and space, the two sisters are still bound together by a bond far, far stronger than even the titanic force that tore them apart For by some strange quirk of fate the cruel catastrophe also endowed the twins with amazing superpowers (the ability to float in space wearing only a swimming costume and a facemask with no visible means of attachment being the most obvious) Armed only with these superpowers (and others that will become apparent as the need arises) they have taken upon themselves the task of reconciling the denizens of the two subverses - the 'Us' and the 'Them'. Good luck, Super Twins !" I couldn't resist a tongue-in-cheek SuperDawn image - EvilInnocence's swimsuit was just crying out 'SuperDawn!' to me! For a mask I made a quick modification to Dawn's facial texture/displacement images. 3DCheapskate's galaxies+nebulae environment made a simple outer-space setting, the Aiko 3 floating pose worked really nicely, and Jessi's strand hair obligingly ignored gravity (well, in Poser anyway). I did two versions of more-or-less the same render, one in DAZ Studio 4.6 and the other in Poser 9, and combined them in GIMP in a manner that indicated a dimensional rift between the twins. Aurora (the spiky redhead in the red suit) is the Poser twin, and Eos (the bald twin in the orange suit) is the DAZ Studio twin. Why bald? Simply that I couldn't find appropriate DAZ Studio gravity-defying hair! It took about three days from first loading Dawn with the swimsuit until I had the final postworked image. But perhaps only three or four hours actually sitting at the computer - setting the scene up, editing textures, and adjusting. The long Poser renders because of the strand hair and AO left me plenty of time to have some fun coming up with the backstory!
