Description
(Bug Comic)
I wanted to do a matching image of Rain to go with the summer one of Bryan:
http://gypsyreggae.com/BugSeason/BWoodgod-copy.jpg
(you'll have to copy n paste, since it's an off-Rosity URL)and also have this image be my Renderosity "Christmas Card."
In Rain's case, it would be a Yule card, since they are sort of "neo-pagan" rather than Christian, with multiple gods of varying importance; but like everyone else this time of year, he's out in the woods collecting holly and pine boughs and some floppy-looking mistletoe for the season. His birthday is Dec 22nd--his Aunt says that his mother would have had him on the 21st but didn't want to spoil anyone's holiday, which meant that the usual midwife was too hung over to do any baby delivering, so Rain was born in the Fenris Jewish Medical Clinic, and has an actual birth certificate, unlike most of the rest of his family.
Bob the cat is about to ask to be picked up and carried, since his paws are cold. It's a good thing he's a pet;)
-----------
Since 90% of this is painted, it's not the best--I should have found a reference for the figure before I just started painting, and then the jacket would have been better. The only good thing about it is that you can see how tall Rain *should* look (Poser often makes the perspective odd so he looks shorter than he should) and his hair texture is right in this one. His reflective eyes are always hard to get to look convincing.
I might go back later when I have more time and put more detail in the snow and the trees, but I wanted to get this up at least on Christmas, and wish everyone a wonderful holiday!
Bob is Daz's MilCat with Lyne's Wildcat morphs. And I found where she is selling them again!

How absolutely wonderful! Now that I know that you dedicated this to your brother I think that he will need a print from this scene, I've hardly saw any image celebrating winter like this one!

Stunning image, wonderful colour palette, the snow and the cold moonlight create such a sense of winter, you can almost hear the snow crunch as he walks. Just fantastic.

for some reason, i feel like i have a better feel for Rain than before. i think this is even better than your more 3D-based work. since Bob, despite his wonderful coat, is the stiffest part of the piece, i think that the more you depart from 3D, the more natural and expressive your work becomes. i love all the furry bits, like his hood and collar and Bob's coat. Bob looks very cute. i hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and that your New Year's Eve is spectacular! enjoy all that snow you're having up there!

This is crying for a high ranking score... 10+++ Perfect styled image... You know - i like Raine and his Bob. And if i had a mistletoe in my near - i would hold it about both... Only thing - im just hesitate who got's the first kiss - Bob or Raine.. You dressed them both perfectly - nice furred collar for Raine and totally perfect full-body fur coat for Bob... ------------------ Happy new year...
