Inspired by every bad photo my family has taken of me. Also, someone mentioned in "Bleak Future after a Hard Night's Singing" (http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1412355) that some of the posters on the wall could use variety, but it probably wouldn't be worth changing them. Somehow that actually gave me inspiration... This will be replacing one of the posters in my futuristic idol singer's room; it's an impromptu snapshot of her and a relative. Vie attends a family celebration held for her cousin Eve, newly appointed to the Space Force. As a performer, Vie can't stand to not be the center of attention for more than a few moments, so she horns in on Eve's photo opp. Unfortunately, Vie's mother took this picture of them, and proves that even cameras of the future are not entirely mom-proof. To clarify: This is poorly-lit, cropped, red-eyed, and flat on purpose. I was having fun with this until it dawned on me that I would have to finish building and furnishing the living room (which is purposely monochromatic metal, plastic, and concrete) of that apartment from "Bleak Future" for a background. Now it's made me get a week behind comments in the critique group (Sorry!) and for other pics I've planned. Couldn't figure out what to do with Vie's bodysuit (which is the fashion statement of that era) since she's not on stage and not going for an elegant look; she just wants to be seen. I can't buy other suits or textures right now, so I just threw something together that's slightly flamboyant. The symbols on her are the Japanese character "ai" for love. Was looking for an Asian print, or to pattern some "ai's" as a print, but thought it would be a bit much. She also turned out a little darker than I wanted her. If you're wondering, "It's a party, where are the guests and decorations?" "At least where's the cake?" Answer: Because I wanted to get on with my life, otherwise I'd stay lost in details for months! Probably won't do much more to this; it's only meant be a background photo in another picture, after all! But critiques are very much welcomed. Background built and rendered in 3ds max; HDR image rendered in Max and used for P7 IBL lighting; then rendered in P7 against BG photo.
