Description
I don't usually do renders like this - a simple, unadorned portrait. Bought the character awhile back because she reminded me of my childhood with the lipstick, mascara, and heavy eyeliner.
When I was in primary school I had two sisters in their teens. The younger of the two, Debra, was a fanatic with style, makeup, etc. She was especially fond of very pale lipstick and heavy eyeliner.
A point of comic relief every morning before school, Deb would tease out her hair, use Goddess knows how much hairspray on it, then come to breakfast while the hairspray was drying - before she combed it out. Try to picture a headful of black hair standing on end about seven-eight inches all the way around, and you have my sister at the age of 14 working on looking good for the boys.
Did I mention she had curlers the size of orange-juice cans that she slept in every night, and that she had to lie on her stomach and prop her chin up on the back of her hands so she could sleep with the silly things on?
Some things never change. ;-)
Did a slight amount of postwork in Photoshop with a basic enhance action and some minor touch-up.
Credits go to Daz3D for everything but the character and the bed - the latter is from Freestuff and it's been so long that I don't remember which one!
The character texture and morph - see below.
