I love this merchant's take on at Art Nouveau style.... VERY large image if you care to click... Shy Contemplation A new Gardener came to work this spring, Unnerved, she shyly sits, contemplating, His smile could mean a number of things, So what does she desire it to mean? ~Lyne's Creations Sometimes a piece of art just takes over...and tells me what it wants... I wanted to use Stephen the Gardner for Dusk for some time...so I brought him into my poser scene/pose area...and from then on my muse took me on a wild ride, telling me in quick succession what to put where...and this is the result! Stephen the Gardner for Dusk by the talented Satira Capriccio. I bought all the sets for Stephan, and then Nouvelle Aube for Dawn by Satira joined in! I did tint Nouvelle's skin to go with Stephen's by "eye-droppering" his skin tone- into her Alternate Diffuse white... I used Satira's Nouvelle dynamic dress with her built in pose- because the pose was just right for this piece, plus the dress has a very nice addition to make the cloth room calculating unnecessary! :) (all from HW) I put Satira's Clarette Rose hair "Eton Crop" on both figures! And of course the HW Cat with Satira's Stephens morph and poses! (HW) Set in the Nouvelle Aube Studio/grounds, I planted many of LisaB's wonderful flowers: the Fairy Flower & add on Fairy Flower Garden Textures, Asiatic Lily with NA's Jungle Heat for Asiatic Lily, and her Crocuses flowers and for "weeds" I used her Black-Eyed Susans! (HW) I used a tree from Flink's Tree 8 set (Rendo) For that special "bring it to life" touch, I added Ken Songbird Remix's Sparrows and Eurasian Jay birds as well as his Six-spot Burnet Moth! (HW) The sky is from Mystic Skies by EllerslieArt (Rendo) I did add more shadowing later in post work. Poser Pro 2014 & Photoshop
