If everyone can stand it, one more picture. This is after playing with the various tools all day -- the finished image is going to be larger and will be postworked, but I wanted to show this render because it's straight out of Poser, no postwork at all.

EC II helped me get so close to the look I was imagining for the picture -- in terms of hue, softness, lighting effects, etc -- that when I do postwork, all I'll need to do is smooth up the figure joints and some of the folds in the cloth, and then "dirty" up the stone and wood surfaces.

I can still hardly believe I got this look straight out of Poser. Good Lord, I feel like Jan Vermeer! :)
