Description
It is a sad day indeed...took a break from work to do this quick render for two reasons: 1) To mourn the passing of Davy Jones (you can call me a dork all you want, but I LOVED the Monkees as a kid and this is very sad for me), and 2) to test out RodS's new hair colors for The Girl. Rod, they work WONDERFULLY in DAZ! I do hope you decide to pursue this more fully...Oh! And The Girl is my TNA dedi to you (I used my Birthday Girl MATs on her)!! XXOO
Lastly, I used my own texture set for OOT's JetSet. Let me know if there's any interest and I'll toss it up as a freebie on the site. (btw, there's something like 8 textures in the set).

Cheer up Sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean.... Take the last train to clarsville, now I must hang up the phone..... Now I'm a Believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried...I wanna hold your hand, walk along the sand, laughing in the sun, always having fun... I'm gonna buy me a dog, a dog, a dog... cause I need a friend now.....Hey hey we're the Monkees!!! I watched in saterday morning... when Cartoons were only on Saturday.... When the Monkees came on you knew the good cartoons were over - lol I watch the monkees in a sleeping bag on the front room floor... I'd have my friends spenc the night and we'd wake up at the crack of dawn, scooby doo, superfriends, lance link, hong kong fewy.... Peter was my favorite Monkee, he was always acting goofy.... Davy was only 66... I would of thought he was older... William Shatner is 80.... I heard Davy even did a concert this last weekend.... Having him die a bit of my child hood dies.... I'm 48 and have been feeling older than a half a century - hearing Davy was only 66 makes me feel a little younger.... the Monkees was my first 12 inch record - I still have it today.

This is very sad news for me too. And I agree with mikeerson, a bit of childhood is gone....Hopefully he is in a better place...

Very beautiful scene to evoke a lost time. It's a nice dedi for this you loved. Oherwise, your texture set looks pretty good.
RodS
Awwwwwww Let me get her a nice cuppa coffee.... I'll get one, too, and we can both remember fondly the good ol' days watchin' the Monkees.... Yeah, that's too sad about Davy. If you're a dork, Vic, I'm one too - lots of fond memories watching the Monkees - always loved that show! Like Mike said - yet another tiny bit of childhood.... This is wonderful - our lovely G4 looks so pensive and dreamy. This whole scene looks very dreamlike - I just love it on all levels! Great job on this, Victoria - glad you're enjoying the hair, I had a blast creating those colors! :-D Definitley LOVE your textures - I'd love to play with it! :-D Thank you so much for the Dedi, hon, and for bringing back some wonderful memories! 10,000 Stars!

Sweet and sad image. I also am something of a dork myself a Monkees fan as a child and a Monkees fan still yet. (my oldest niece something of a dork herself, called me at work to let me know)

Nice pic, very sweet and properly evocative of the emotion. And I guess I'm a dork too - a nearly-50 year old at that - as explained here: http://bardofthelesserboulevards.yolasite.com/blog/rip-davy-jones

Amazing work and touching tribute my friend, impeccable render, congratulations!

If you're a dork, I'm a dork. I loved that show and though Davy wasn't my fave the whole show was just such fun slapstick and to my mind at the time great music. Wake up Sleepy Genie, oh what can it mean.... I can still remember that song almost word for word, and Last Train to Clarksville, what teenybopper girly wouldn't fall for that one, LOL. I think I still have a vinyl of theirs in my collection... along with an original Cream... ah yes, Eric Clapton,.. yum. This is a beautiful tribute; nice to see Davey as he was and the body language and look is perfect for this.

Beautiful render! Of course with The Girl it's hard to go wrong. I grew up watching The Monkeys as well. It's sad to see the passing of so many icons from our youth. Thanks for the render, and bringing back some fond memories!
