"...we don't need Halloween! We're sleeping in spider holes since 20 months, hearing frightening howling of grenades all day and night, have more than enough dead and "undead" around us, the blood we see is our own and our fellow brother in arms and we're constantly fighting against a horde of Zombies! No, we don't need Halloween, we need peace and order back again!" Gosh, now it is soon two years since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war! Putin really miscalculated his step and the consequences in February 2022. And now the earth burns as well in Palestine and Israel! We'd be rather careful, because all big wars started with a local crisis and I'm definitely not keen on to witness WWIII. I really wish, that these conflicts can be settled rather earlier than later and I hope, that in 2024, the Russian-Ukrainian war ends and the international borders being re established as before 2014 I must admit, that I wasn't very productive this year concerning posting renders. It's now the end of October and this is my first Render posted this year and my commenting on your art left to desire as well - oh boy! So maybe I can post some more renders, before the year is over again. This Render was inspired by a crazy report I once saw where an ukrainian young woman who learned to shoot from her Father in her early years, decided to voluntarily join the Ukrainian Armed forces and became a respected and deadly sniper. Eventually she met the love of her life at the front lines, married him in the army and became pregnant. She stayed in the UAF as a sniper until short before she gave birth to her child. I found, that UltraScenery has a problem with trenches and grooves, since in some places, the grass floats in the air, where the ground descends abruptly and the texture is oddly distorted. To create this trench, I had to do my own grayscale Image for the terrain, which I did with the aid of good ol' "Brice 7" Hope you like it. :-) Credits: "Anatomically correct Cora" by Adam Thwaites @ most-digital-creations.com "Emilia Hair and OOT Hairblending 2.0 for Genesis 3 Female(s)" By Outoftouch @ DAZ3D "Army Uniform for Genesis 3 Female(s) and Genesis 2 Female(s)" by Sarsa @ DAZ3D "UltraScenery - Realistic Landscape System" by Howie Farkes @ DAZ3D As usual, this is a Pure IRAY-Render without postwork - except for the Logo in the lower right corner Thanks for the peek and for all comments in my past images.
