Description
Odelle reached the terminus of the Hall of Mirrors to confront the Demon of the mirror world. As always, the Demon opened it's arms and tempted her to cross the threshold from our world to its domain.
Molly's art notes: Set up and rendered with Poser 13.2.518 using the Superfly Cycles X rendering engine. There was some post work done in Superfly and a bit more in Photoshop. I was particularly pleased with how using Superfly layers worked out with the Demon: the base layer is the original texture and I added a layer with the ghostly blue highlights using a bit of light from Vince Bagna's Superfly bundle.
The character of Odelle is still forming in my mind but I see her as the last of a line of Sorcerers who lives in the family's castle built in the Northeastern United States in the area commonly referred to as New England. The castle is also inhabited by any number of demons, fairies and other fantastical spirits and beasts. As is always the case, this is all subject to change.... 😆
This is the second picture I've done featuring Odelle. The first may be found here: Midnight in the Hall of Mirrors
The Demon (called "Lost Soul") is available from Summoner and the setting is "Cave of Secrets" by DM and available at DAZ. Other content is available at Renderosity.

Thanks for your comment and your clear eyed suggestions! I'll have to consider them when I try images like this. I wanted to do more with the mirror and have Odelle reflected but couldn't come up with a camera/mirror position or angle that permitted that AND a clear view of the Demon. >.< Hadn't really been thinking about the opportunity to enhance the candle flames. =\ There's always so much to learn and attempt! XD
Have a happy and prosperous New Year, dear friend! I'll look forward to following your work and enjoying more interaction with you! =)

Great idea and image!
MollyFootman
Thank you. I have a lot of ideas for the character but I don't think I'll start a story with her. I'd be better served to get a bit farther with the stories I've already started, I think. XD

Wow. Stunning image! Interesting character.

Thank you, Annie. It's amazing how well legacy material renders with very little tweaking of the material. =)

Who says the demon's bad?
Demons are so often misundesrstood... :)
very colorful and dramatic Mollz. Contrasts on tone and brightness always catch the eye.
MollyFootman
Demon's would generally agree with your sentiments and politely express gratitude as they eat your soul... XD
I spent a lot of time with materials and lighting on this one so I am very gratified by your kind comment on tone and brightness here! <3 Thank you, my dear.

This is just fantastic, Molly! Wow! The lighting is perfect, and that demon looks amazing.
I have P-12, but haven't messed around much with Superfly as yet. Hopefully I'll get some time soon to do a bit of playing around with it.
MollyFootman
Thanks, Rod! <3
I'm just beginning to figure out Superfly lighting and materials. While it does a decent job rendering most legacy materials, it really excels if you tweak things a bit or use materials that are set up for Cycles. Things like material layers are not available in Firefly and when you begin to mess with it, I'll be you find Superfly Cycles X hard to put down. =)

Great composition with the torches, candles and placement of the mirror. The lighting looks perfect with the supernatural glow from demon and the lighting from the candles on the figure. Makes me want to work with one of my characters I've haven't used in a while.

Thanks, Randy. I love the way you can layer material (even emissive material) in Superfly. If it inspired you to play with one of your characters I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with! =)
