Description
First, I would like to mention that I do no postwork on my renders. For me, that is the challenge, to create the best image I can all within Poser. I may, at some time, do some postwork. However, if I do, I will mention it in the notes. This is true of all my posted images. So, for those of you who have mentioned the postwork, thank you. I must have done something right if it looks like I did the extra step. :)
I tried to produce a feeling of struggle, weariness, and strife, yet strong determination. I wanted her to look tired and worn from her battle out of the maelstrom, but at the same time, determined to succeed.
To me, that is the essence of success in life. That determination to win out no matter how tired or how overwhelming the odds. Sometimes, being so close to the work, you can't tell if you hit the mark or not. What do you think? Did I come close?

I think this is great. It may convey the feeling more if she was looking at where she is trying to get to a bit more. But then again it may take the sense of weariness away. Great idea, love the image and great words too:)

Paul this is wonderful, I like the bleak and neverending landscape you have chosen and that the only bright colour is the blood? on her wings, excellant

Oh, yes, you hit the mark all right. I can't believe you do all this in Poser....I always have to do MAJOR postwork to clean up my messes....LOL You did good!!!!!

Aside of maybe tilting her head up a little bit to show some form of triumph despite her travails, I'd say that you hit this one right on the barrelhead. Excellent work Paul. I concur with Linda and usually end up with tons of postwork. Kudos to your non-post rendering skills.
