This image is as much a Rorschach test for me as for anyone viewing it - if there is any symbolism here, I don't know what it may be and never intended it. But I can say that it represents many hours of rendering and tweaking, and, as always, not a little serendipity in the postwork layering. This started out as simply an experiment in applying V3's breast morphs to Laura, and doing the same to her MFD, since I assumed (rightly) that it shares the mesh with V3's. I'm very happy with that result, as this is probably the most realistic 'maturing' of Laura that I've been able to achieve on my own. It's not obvious here, but I also added V3's "jaw forward" morph from the International Beauties set - I like the way it reshapes her lower face without making her seem faerie-like; her skin, and about 30% of her facial character, are Thorne & sarsa's "Melissa Blue." Add in the Portia hair, chairs from Deco Redux, and a homemade back wall with a wave modifier (my first!), and it amounts to about 7 hours of work, the last 1 of which was ogling the effects of different layering in Photopaint ;-).
