I came up with this image while playing around with Poser, trying to figure out a few things. I started monkeying around with the Aiko figure, and all the Victoria morphs. After a while, I noticed my girl started looking a lot like a lady I used to work with a few years ago. She was a sweetie, but I doubt if she would have dressed in an outfit like this! I wanted to play around with the lights a bit, so I created a backdrop in Photoshop with a light on the wall, and tried to give the impression of a reddish neon light to the left (her right) off ‘camera.’ I also wanted to try and give the feel of softer lighting from the front. The backdrop is a highly ‘modified’ photo of my basement wall (taken for the texture) with a whole bunch of miscellaneous images thrown in, plus a few brushes I made for Photoshop. To complicate matters just a bit, Poser decided to thank me for downloading SR1 by locking up every time I tried to take a test render – as if my life isn’t complicated enough, already. I doinked around with a few settings, and I guess that made Poser happy, because it started working again. Anyway, here she is, looking like she’s ready for some adventure. Figure is Aiko base with Victoria Morphs ++, Elite, Shauna body mat (Girl4 ProPack), Summer Dream Hair, Top by Evilinnocence, jeans from the Girl4 ProPack. Jeeze – I should start writing for Vogue…… Thanks for looking, and all the wonderful comments!!!
