Description
Amity the Ice Fairy just stopped by for a visit!
(Yes, it snowed again!)
==AMY’S NOTES==
I’ve wanted to do a portrait of this Amity character for ages, but I could not find the right backdrop. I first used her in Amity Helps the Frost Dragon take an Ice Bath, a scene which took me ENTIRELY too long to produce, in part b/c I ended up making the ice pond and ice textures myself and in part b/c I was struggling with water materials. When I looked back at that scene, I thought to myself, "With the amount of work that went into that ice pond, you really should use it more than once." Amity agreed and said she didn’t mind sitting on the ice at all, as an immunity to cold is apparently an ice fairy perk :-)
Rendered in March 2022 using Firefly in Poser Pro 11 for Mac at 2048 × 1152 pixels. View full size on my blog.
==CREDITS==
SCENE: Ice pond by me; TerraDome2.
CHARACTER: Amity figure, hair, wings, and AmiFae outfit by 3DTubeMagic (w/ custom mats).

I was trying to figure out why her face isn't in sharp focus, and I realized I messed up when applying a bit of lens blur using a Z depth mask in Photoshop. I guess it gives her a slightly softer look, but basically: oops!

She looks marvelous sitting there on the ice! She blends in so well. A cute little pixie angel enjoying the winter weather! Fantastic work, my friend! Many fine kudos from me!

I am glad that you decided to use this background for her! It suits her perfectly! She certainly is a cute little charmer!

Thank you! I don't know why I struggle so much with backgrounds, but I guess we all gotta struggle with something! I'm always in awe of the amazing backgrounds you put together for your bird portraits, using various sources and Photoshop techniques. I can study what you've done and figure some of it out, but I never would've thought to do it in the first place!

Even with a bit of oops this is a successful portrait, Amy. Beyond the lovely character, the work on the background really shows and contributes to the viewer's pleasure. =)

Thank you, Molly! It was fun and also challenging to try and create a texture for the ice pond that showed ice at the edges and a "thawed" part at the middle (where the first dragon was in the first render, with Amity helping him take a bath). I used to get obsessed with things like that that lured me into spending way too much time in my modeling app and Photoshop and not nearly enough time in Poser, and I'm trying to resist that urge for now!

Super cute character. Love the outfit

Thanks for the comment! I love the little long pointy toes in her stockings, although I think that might drive me crazy to wear myself!

This is a nicely done image, which I really like!

She's adorable!! I've always loved her, but she's never made it into a render.

Amity is pretty cute and doesn't seem to have gotten nearly as much attention as she deserves, for those who like fairy figures. Not sure why! At least she has a good selection of outfits available, and one of these days I'm going to see which parts of her wardrobe can be shared with others (like Mavka, K4, Vila) and what parts of their wardrobes might work on her. That might scratch my itch to figure out how to make clothing for Nursoda's people, but if not, I foresee Marvelous Designer in my future!
