Description
Now a year has passed, since I have started to create this picture.
At that time, Liz Birdsong (Mehndi) asked me if i would create the models seen in the oil painting "The Lady of Shallot",
as i created some models for her new book. I had a look at this painting and was fascinated.
Of course, i know that it is impossible to build an oil painting precisely in 3d.
You have to model every tree, every grass in foreground and every wave of the river precisely.
Nevertheless, I have tried to approach so closely as possible to the original.
So I modelled the boat, stairway steps, cross, the foliage sheets in the water and a lot of other little details.
Then I needed more than one month to create the blankets on the boat.
I also found no suitable dress for Vicky3.
Therefore, I have modified Steve Shanks Classic Dress,
Then I started to create a material for the water in the picture and later the athmosph

This is strange because I had thought it would be good to model just this painting - it's a favourite of mine - and I've seen this almost by accident as I don't usually look at Vue or Mythology. You've done an excellent job! Well done.

I remember exercises like this (copying old works) in art class, one really learns a lot by doing that - looks like you've pushed the CG medium quite supurbly. Excellent modeling and details V

Damn, I was going to have a go at that picture myself! You've done a brilliant job here, though and I'm not sure I would have had the patience to work on it for a year. Well done :0)

One of my favorite songs by Loreena McKennitt. You've done an excellent job recreating the scene. I think you've captured the essence quite well.
