Description
...Yes....
This is Natali, and you'll be seeing more of her later. You may have seen her in Grey_Cat's "Venture's Girls" series. If you haven't, you might want to stop by and give it a read.. Last we saw Natali, she had vanished, after joining forces with some bad actors.
Some time after that, she's wondering what the heck happened to her life... And where does she go from here? We shall see..
I hope to have Page 2 / Ch 7 done soon. Things have been a bit depressing lately with most of May so far being cold and gloomy on top of all this #%&&$#% COVID s##t. Sooooo tired of all this... I'm beginning to empathize with Wes's Tempestt..
I've been busy working out some little issues with moving scenes back and forth between Poser Pro 11.3 and PP 2014. The first time I tried pulling a PP 11.3 file from the laptop over to the main PP 2014 machine, I'd get a "Can't find Construct.obz" error. It would go ahead and open, but I had to click the error message and tell it to open anyway. Turns out the 'Construct.obz' is simply the ground/skydome prop PP 11.3 adds to all PZ3s. Selecting it in the hierarchy window and deleting it takes care of that issue. I don't use it anyway.
I just picked up a 2TB SSD for the DAZ machine, so I'll be installing that this weekend, and taking DS off the 500GB C: drive that's almost full.
Anyway, I hope you're all weathering this storm as well as possible, and taking all necessary precautions.

Very cool work, Rod
AureliusdeMercoeur
The expression is very well rendered and the composition gives well the impression of loneliness of the character. The neon light behind Natali's head suggests all the thoughts that are going around in her head...Excellent scene and great thriller atmosphere, Rod!

Hehehe what have you done to her???? Excellent looking scene, I can even feel the depression!

Nice one, Rod...like the atmo...she looks like lots of thoughts and emotions running through her mind...she's tough, but very vulnerable at this moment...

A little hootch and some good sounds pumping out of the Wurlitzer (?) . . . . . nothing wrong with that. But, an attractive woman drinking all alone . . . . . yeah, that IS bad. So maybe . . . . good girl gone (temporarily) bad ?!?!?
Nice work, Rod !!!

oh this is perfect for our time. I don't know remember character (I'll look at G-C's link later), but you sure caught a soul in a quagmire of doubt and reflection...like she's at a crossroads...terrific characterization. The room is much longer than she is---she's just one piece of the scene---yet her posture, = expression, the way her hair shadows her face, her clasping the drink and staring into infinity---all make her the center of this long, empty bar. (Really fine composition too: the drink and the pole behind it, the bottle and the break in the wall behind it, how her head is 'crowned' by that neon behind her, etc.)
Also, you created a melancholy reddish rust tone. And bottles with no labels, dark counter-front dark stools...a 3 a.m. scene if ever there was one. And that bright old juke box: I played in such places years back (blues and jazz), and those neon lights are bright oases in otherwise dark, melancholy rooms. To me, she conjures the old "it's quarter to three, and no one's in the place but you and me"...We feel she's going to come out of this purgatory, but we don't know where she'll wind up. Another of your "preparing us" images, beautifully done, and it captures the feeling of this time too. (And btw: "Moving scenes back and forth between Poser Pro 11.3 and PP 2014. The first time I tried pulling a PP 11.3 file from the laptop over to the main PP 2014 machine, I'd get a "Can't find Construct.obz" error"---Do you know how hard it is for me to make sense of that??? Man, what you do and what you know...Dr. Frankenstein in his underground lab! I know this is basic computer talk, but "construct.obz"? Really??? Hey, I'm a mac guy so I haven't a clue...I just fear that one day everyone's gonna hear from you, from the rings of Saturn, and you'll "send your regards"...Good luck with it, in any case. (Like you're not plotting the takeover of KC...) Great image, Rod, and thank you for your wonderful comments and for making my apt art feel so welcome. A few of you really made me feel great about that. Many thanks.

Love the posing--and the neon lighting! Wonderful atmo while she ponders life's choices...
bucyjoe
good posing and render love it
dragongirl
Great body language, and the hair is such an important part of the character. Wonderful lonely bar atmosphere and lighting. She looks like a confused girl, a girl who can’t find her way.
adorety
Wow! She really looks down in the dumps. Maybe the girls can find her and set her straight.
I had a similar thing happen when I accidentally added a third folder for Poser when doing an update. I was getting some errors and wondering why certain geometries and textures were coming from this "Public" documents folder. I found it and deleted it and started getting the errors with the skydome, though I also did not know that's what it was looking for. A reinstall and paying attention to the prompts fixed everything.
