Description
This was an idea I had that just wouldn't leave me alone, so I took a break from fun pirates to make it happen.
This is three different renders. Saved as two scenes. One with the normal girl, one with the monster.
Bottom layer is the scene with nobody in it. Just the mirror and lights.
Middle layer is the monster layer.
Top layer is just the girl and lights.
Loaded it up into GiMP. With the middle layer on, I erased the monster outside the mirror. Then stacked in the top layer, after erasing the lights from it.
I mean... Magic. Yes. Clearly. I used magic to do it all. Ha. Magic nad a single spotlight, along with the scene lights.
'ware the monster in the mirror...
I'll be brief this time because I'm super tired. Let's just say that there is a deeper significance here.
All my love,
~~LA

somewhere i have a image, the workflow remembered to yours... in my case a vampire-hunter, a vampire and a mirror... the mirror shows only the hunter....
cool image!
LyleAryn
That sounds righteous!

Worth the effort, I'd say!
I think we can all probably relate this to someone we know from one part or another of our lives; the sweet exterior, with the vicious, hateful, vindictive soul hidden beneath, poison in a pretty package.
Nice work indeed...
LyleAryn
It's what she sees in the mirror. A monster. But yhe monster she sees is only in her mind.

amazing idea lylearyn and a well down render ... a typical problem of the soul when you can no longer see yourself in the mirror
LyleAryn
nods Thank you.
dakotajaroo

LyleAryn

I would agree..well worth your time and effort...very clever image if not a little worrying... superb execution...least she hasn't broken the other realms of reality and go a foot out of the mirror...top work...!!
LyleAryn
I had to see if I could figure it out. It took a bit of setup work, but I'm pretty pleased. It tells the story I want it to. Thanks for the feedback.

Very beautiful work, Lyle. Great meticulous attention to detail and a powerful message. Awesome work once again. :)
LyleAryn
Thanks, Bella. Anybody ever tell you that you're a sweetheart?

Very mysterious and dark magic here! A very well produced image! I enjoy reading how you assembled it! Bravo! Nicely accomplished creation.
LyleAryn
Thanks. I might revisit it, to try and bring out the deeper meaning a little stronger.Not sure how, but I like to challenge myself.

Great scene and image!
LyleAryn
Thanks, Deva. Glad you could stop by for a visit.

Thanks! You have a nice day now.

Wonderful post work. You really thought this through and accomplished a believable reflection without having to sacrifice the skin tones of the lass on this side of the reflection. The theme behind this one has some very real world concerns about how we perceive ourselves.
LyleAryn
Thank you. It was a thought that just wouldn't leave me alone. Someone very dear to me has trouble seeing just how special they are, referring to themselves as a monster a while back, and I guess it all just glued together in my tired brain.

I like to know what happens,if Donald is looking in a mirror.LOL Fantastic image,wonderful done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LyleAryn
I think in this metaphor, he'd see the most gorgeous man alive.
RodS
I can relate.... I've felt a lot like this the last few months... I think I saw you working on this on your twitch... Very well done, good sir!
LyleAryn
Thanks! I think I'll be on Twitch again later. I know, it's late, but I'm a night owl.

I think I would break the mirror if I was to see the monster. superb work on composition
LyleAryn
Thank you. We're often the victims of our own inner eye. And sometimes we are told so often that we're monsters, that the monster is all we see.

Spectacular and excellent work, my friend!!! 👍🙋♂️
LyleAryn
Thanks, and I'm glad you like it! Take care of yourself.

Very beautiful work Lyle. I somehow missed this one yesterday. I have been practicing my Daz the last few days and downloading freebies, most of which I will probably never use.
LyleAryn
Yeah, I hear you. So much cool stuff. I should probably clear out the folder one of these days... Thanks for the feedback!
adrie

STEVIEUKWONDER
As good as it gets! Fantastic!
LyleAryn
Thanks! I think I'm going to do a real fancy mirror image one of these days soon. I got an idea for a follow-up that should be really awesome.
