Description
...a zero meets an eight at the baker's shop, they say hello and after another look on the eight the zero says: "Hey... nice belt!!".
Now that's a strange introduction, isn't it?! Of course I could have started with a philosophical discourse on the eight-ball, on black... but my english alone keeps me from doing this.
It is Friday and because I want to give you all something nice to see when you start into the weekend I finished the eight-ball today as I know that many people are waiting for it ;o)
When playing the classic 8-ball pool that is the most popular in pubs here the black eight is the last ball you have to drop into the pocket. So dropping the eight means winning - IF you dropped all other balls of your color (full or half) before. If you drop the eight and there is still another ball of your color on the table you have lost the game. So the eight is often called the "evil 8".
This special meaning of the eight made it hard for me to get any other associations than a girl cracking the whip ;o) But at least I had a choice for the figure I wanted to use and the clothes of course. I got this fantastic outfit a while ago and when I had a first look I knew where it would debut in my renders.
As for the figure: The eight is well rounded, kind of buxom, so I choosed Jule to represent it as she has this sturdy body and a kind of severe appeal - and her face looks good with those goggles.
Technical:
As I got a very nice comment about not blurring on one of the pool-images I want to lead your attention on the left site of the clothes. The "blur" effect you see here is caused by tabala's materials and I am amazed again how good they work and how they deal with light!
The "High Tension" Boots are available at synfulmindz, the Rubber Doll outfit is made by Lilflame and comes with many handy morphs, as you may see I was able to give Jule a decent eight-shaped waist.
I added the DAZ Bikini top to the outfit as I didn't want a lot of nudity in this series. Don't get me wrong: I like to render nudes and half dressed figures but as it's all about color, poseing, light and attidtude here I decided to go for sexyness instead of nudity.
The wip is a dynamic item from the Renderosity freestuff and made by msg24_7.
I did just use 10 drape frames and a windforce from the left, no complete simulation, to make it flow.
Few postwork here, mostly to add the techno color (color shifted) and to fix some minor imperfections on the joints.
Oh, yes, important: Your comments are highly apreciated, your critique is highly apreciated (in fact: needed!) - and you deserve the one or other answer! I was asked to why not changing the lipstick of a figure. Good question - and the answer is as easy as this: I respect the work of fellow merchants that create a character - not only a texture or morph but a whole personality. The lipstick on the girl in No. 7 is very special, a bit uneven, really natural. And this for it needs to go with the matching face makeup. As I wanted this subtle brown makeup I had to leave the lipstick as is - or destroy the sweet effect.

I always liked the 8 ball...but then I had a Magic 8 Ball when I was a kid and was convinced it held all the secrets of the universe, when in actuality it held floating die and blue fluid... :D She makes a most magnificent fetish dahl!! Beautiful stuff!!

I'm glad she's wearing goggles, she'll be easier to drop in the corner pocket... naw, let's use some english and bouce her 4 rails and call her in the side - lol... Great series... I would of done the 8 ball this way... black is worn by the bad guy - Black robbers wear masks... bad guys usually look mean, pumped and out of control. You use an asian looking woman for one of the uploans, I was leaning towards a dark skined beauty (black beauty)... long black hair... maybe some tats (can't touch this)... maybe some battle scars... The 8 ball gets in the way when shooting pool... It is stated in the rules you can not hit the 8 first to use as a combo shot to get to your ball... If you want to use the 8 in a shot, you first have to hit your ball and then any combination to get to the ball you want to drop. I've been in two brawls where the opposing player called the 8 into their ball... I told both players it was against the rules and they shot it anyway... both games, the opponent lost... got physical and then got hurt over a stupid dollar - lol... I am the only one that I know of that has hit two 8 balls in at the same time - lol... I was shooting at the 8 and I had to put a power spin (english) on it to get around a cluster of (opponents) balls... I hit it so hard to get the action that after it hit the 8 ball in it flew off the table, landed on another table and hit another 8 in - the other cool thing about that was, the shooter on the other table was posed in position to shoot the 8 - I beat him to it - LOL Love your series, and I don't want to influence this series, but I give you input because you never know, you might want to do the series again and again - just like playing pool. YOU HAVE BEEN FAVORITIZED!!! OH, I read what you said about the lipstick... I still would of put Black lipstick on the Black Beauty.

I jumped the 8 ball once( even called the shot first ) to sink the last one of mine in the corner pocket. The cue ball rebounded perfectly to line me up for a shot at the 8 in the side. We were only playing for the table rights, but still got into a fight over it. I'm still proud of that shot!! I love this series. It looks like she's been naughty, and should go to my room.

Excellent Meike! This series was a real treat and show of your talent. This last one is perfect for the eight ball, I would have done the same. I could see all of these hanging in a pool hall, lined up on one wall in full poster size and framed. It is impressive work!
scifibabe
Oooo, number 8 is baaaaad and super sexy. Love it! The perfect number 8. Love the concept. Great lighting and pose. Great outfit too.

This series is so extraordinarily nice... are you going to complete all 57 "balls" in this game? ;-)
tigertim

Just such a pitty there are only sixteen balls in a game of pool. Next time perhaps you could do a pack of cards so we can have 52+ renders to look forward to.
