Creation Date: March 06, 2015 Even though she is surrounded by beauty, the muse is having difficulty finding her inspiration to create. The inspiration for this artwork first came to me in 2009. I had run out of ideas for new artworks so I started browsing DeviantArt in the hopes of seeing something that would jump-start my muse. I saw many beautiful and amazing artworks but no inspiration which turned out to be an inspiration for this artwork. Apparently, inspiration can come from anywhere including "nowhere". When I started on this piece, I wanted it to have a soft and ethereal look. I rendered the scene using a custom IDL light setup and Poser's own depth of field effects. The most difficult part of this scene was a mix of getting the materials of various elements to look correct (such as the paints on her palette) to work with the human model I chose (I once again tried using Genesis 2 with the DSON plugin and it was almost more trouble than it was worth). Thankfully, I worked out all of the problems and was able to finish the scene. In postwork I used various techniques, filters, and PS actions to create the final "soft and dreamy" look.
