ok...so there's sort of a long story behind this render. around halloween this year I started a creepy sort of halloweeny render using Aiko. i was getting really frustrated with it and didn't like it, so I didn't save the file. next time I opened poser to start a new render I discovered a test render I'd done of that scene, and really liked it...but because I hadn't saved the file I had to start again from scratch! I won't go into the fine details of the technical problems I encountered, especially with the lighting...it was a nightmare. but here it is, finally, and I'm quite happy with it. very minimal postwork in photoshop. the character is rebelmommy's 'Anasi A4' available on Daz, with FRAD Medessa and Lysithea textures.
