hello to all! thanks for stopping by and viewing my work. i really appreciate the you taking the time to view it, and i appreciate comments and feedback even more. they definitely help me learn and grow. there's only a few more left to the backlog that i'll post. this one is almost 2 whole years old, and shows i really need to try harder on follow-through. i thought it would be a good idea to do at least one plain image showing off things i bought after i bought them. so even if i never did what i planned to with them, i'd have that initial render. and if i did, i'd know better how to work with them. unfortunately, this is the only one i did. i'm planning to resurrect that idea, but we'll see how it plays out. i'm hoping to hit at least some of the more obscure parts of my runtime. the dress is the dynamic 30's dress set by tabala, and is better than this image makes it look. i decided to try to make a really 20's looking type, with a long boyish build. the dress hung on her frame like it would in real life. i used it in a subsequent image where i sculpted the dress to fit her. i've just recently found some better ways to fit dynamic clothes to smaller proportions. so i haven't been _completely_ useless in the intervening time. ;D the marble is a procedural marble i made, the skin is Vanessa by Maelwenn with VSS PR2 by bagginsbill and customized by me. underneath the painting is SuperBob by outoftouch and Bice, with texture and shader by me (hooray flat mapping!). i can't remember the source of the dress material, though i know i gamma corrected it by hand. the stupid and awful looking nailpolish is completely my fault.
