Description

How does a man cope with having a house full of noise, children, babies, wife and activities that makes his life full - to sitting alone - where all have gone? Derrick is stuck - unsure of which way to go. His wife is gone, has taken his children - and he can't get over the fact that it was his fault. Nothing like regret - nothing like those words that at times haunt us all - "If I'd only...." Now what Derrick? Now what?... mobile by his side, but it's not ringing. ========================== More Bomaw stuff - this is brother number 2 Derrick McPherson. His family has suffered a great tragedy, one that may have been avoided if he'd only stepped forward and been the man his father had taught him and his brother's to be. ========================== Bomaw - The Beauty of Man and Woman - written by MKeyes ========================== **Credits** Daz Studio 4.6 Pro Reality 2.5 for Daz Lux Render M5 texture G2 male using M6 & Boris morphs with a bit of my own.

The mood is conveyed beautifully, a bit sloppy composition helps to create the atmosphere. And the body hair looks real :-). Remarkable image!

Thank you - I usually load a scene just that way - but I was so caught up in him, that I left it. Muah

Oh wow. What an amazing emotional portrait of regret. I love how you chose to have him shirtless too. That shows to me that he doesn't even care to get dressed. Totally awesome touch. The phone too. Great scene and tremendous character to convey this sorry state of mind.

Thank you and yes, does he ever feel it. We've all been there at some point I think - anyway - cheers!

He looks frustrated and depressed. You've created the expression perfectly. The skin textures look superb also. Excellent work.

I really love using Reality - and it's great that it's available for Daz and for Poser - so I'll be getting it for Poser next.

This is an excellent image. The thing is, if one read this story, then one can really see just how well you captured Derrick in the situation in which he finds himself. Yeah, he did not believe his wife, he did not take her words, her feelings or her even her advice seriously. So yeah it is his fault and here he sits alone .....thinking and regretting. Sis! You got him ! I love this picture. Bravo!

Thank you my honey. Yeah - his position of regret is a really big one - one of those things that can kind'ah make you crazy - and with him, it does. So much more to get with this drama and family! Heehee

After a moment he wonders, If the choices he made at the time, The beer the wine the dooby man, If his desire to be alone, To escape for a while into his own world, What price has he paid? Thanks for the inspiration MK! Every one copes in their own way, just some better than others... ;)
