Let me explain the title a little. I noticed that sometimes butterfly is a synonym for girl and I thought it was the perfect descriptor here. Inspiration from my sister and friend for this one. It is summer here where we live, so this scene offered a nice change for us. To help lighten the load of the humidity and heat. :) I'm not particularly happy with this one mainly because I do not have the Aiko morph set. I wanted to morph my own character from her, particularly the face. I purchased many items for her though, so I feel it a waste to not use her! This is actually my first background I created from scratch and created in Poser though. Simple but I am happy with the background for now. I did some postwork, particularly on the staff - it looked terrible in the original render, my attempts at fixing it aren't much better.. At least it's a prettier color now. I converted the V3 skin to Aiko for this, made my own hair texture for the hair, lighting as well. The pose is based on a freebie that I altered for this scene. Credits are below! *Rant&Concerns: I haven't been here very long, but I have noticed a great deal of harsh elitism on Renderocity. I am not going to point out specific examples, but you can see it in most of the forums, comments on artworks, and on actual gallery images/posts themselves. It has gotten to me. I have been very relunctant to post here lately because of it. I suppose people will judge my works and I anyway. I am happy that I have had a little support from others, many who are learning just as I am. I can't escape bigots though and I will never get used to their ugliness. *sigh* Leah Hair by DAZ Crystal Mage by DAZ *Edited to add blizzard effects - new lighting that is less green and casts better shadows - chainmail texture has been bumpmapped and looks better.
