Description

In this post apocalyptical asset and texture bash our girl Mel is in a bit of a pickle as she's managed to steal the targeted documents but her rival faction's warlord has entered the room and noticed the open window she'd used to enter his manse. Sneaking her way past his minions is a tall order at best, and capture would mean death or worse. Should she ventilate The Boss with her venerable Thompson M1A1 and use the window again, or should she try other means to render him amenable? Despite winking out a ton of goodies the bloody thing took six hours to render which is a record for me. Likely a ton of issues and booboos but I'll not spin it again...

Thanks eekdog - I try to balance drama against my limited skills to tell as much as i can with an image. At times it works better than others...

Thanks starship - thinking on more scenes with Mel as she's one of Sangriart's best.

Thanks pchef - brought in a lot of assets and stuffed them into a re-textured 'Room in a Box'. Left a lot of them out to cut back on runtime and it still took forever.

Merci gaius - I'm not a storyteller like Molly or Lyle but when I'm in an ornery mood I give it a whirl...:)

I think Mel is one of the pilots! In fact, he is the lead pilot if I'm not mistaken! A great pilot with lots of experience. Perhaps he will be made to do very heroic things before the adventure ends? As I said above, thanks again for commenting on my images and really love this one here! Hope you have a great weekend!

Thanks Radar - what was the chance of our having two very different characters with the same name? I shortened mine from Sangriart's Melis which he shortened from Melisandre as not to risk too close an association with the GOT character...maybe the two should meet?:)

Very well done. It depends on how fast she could run :-)

I like the suspense built into the image, JD. The use of natural lighting (which is challenge indoors as I WELL know) really enhances the sense of danger. She is really out of place and firing her weapon will likely arouse all kinds of interest she'd not be happy with. As you know, I LOVE peril/suspense style stories and pictures and I really enjoyed viewing this one. Thank you for sharing it! =)

Thanks Molly - these scenes often take a lot of time to set up and often to render but it's always fun to pull in untried or dusty assets and give them a spin. There's been a number of useful goodies on sale in DAZ of late - almost to many to keep sorted. As I plopped in a pair of cached character pinup tests the last two times it's back to drama for the next. Have a zombie to try...
