Description
Ok, This has to be the final version because this
render took over 12 hours, and I just can't do
one THAT long again until I upgrade the old
computer. :) I've used the Realism Shader on Vik,
and her skin seems to interact better with scenic
lights and shadows, pretty much the way Camilla's
skin does.
I dimmed the lights a bit because I thought it was
a bit too bright in the other two. I disagree, in
part, with Cobaltdream about the poses, but only
in part. :) They are supposed to be relaxed poses.
They aren't worried because they think they can
handle anything that threatens them. I suppose
you could say that it's a touch arrogant. The part
I agree with, is that Vik's pose IS a touch
'come hither'. That was unintended, but I rather
like it with Cami's pose, plus I'm too lazy to
change it, of course. :)
Thanks for all the comments, and please crit this
one as well. Any crits or advice could be useful
on the next image. All credits are the same as
the previous two.

Ok, you're gonna hate me for this... but i prefered the previous one, more vibrant. (Runs away)
good good good ;)*****.
Excellent work!! Great scene and top image!!
This one is very dark compared with the other one. I would have prefered something inbetween. But all in all i like this version best. Maybe some more shadows? But I think you really got it here.
Cooool! Great work! Kick Ass piece. I think you should be proud of all your hard work! ^__^ V,,
Nice job. Really good character placement in the scene. They actually look like they belong there. Much better overall lighting I think. Well done!
Okay your a perfectionist and I think its simply perfect jaw dropping work!!!
Damn good image. Two thumbs up.
You nailed it. Looks like a photo, almost. Never liked Poser hair. Great image.
Cooool!!!! Actually, I like dark images, so this one look really kickass!!!
Thanks all. :) Strangely, it was the semi-reflective floor that bogged the render down. It occupies about 1/4 to 1/3 of the image, yet it took about 80% of the render time. I think I'll lay off reflections with complex textures until I can upgrade the old girl so she can handle it without all that gasping and wheezing. It really sounds pitiful. :)
Gorgeous deadly duo!!
This is really good work. I like this version the best.
Actually, I preferred the version with more light, but it's just a personal opinion. Technically the image is perfect.
This is my favourite. I like it, it's very realistic. No crits, it looks perfect to me.
Even yummier than the last one.
very nice WORK MY FRIEND+100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I did not see the revisions because I'm still a week behind in viewing the critique group. Having said that, i prefer the lighting of the second one because the characters, while nicely done, blend into the background (i suppose that's what their clothes are meant to do, after all). That may be preferable for a combat situation, but not always the best conditions for a portrait. But, that's just my preference. For some reason, it reminds me of the better illustrations from the older edition Shadowrun RPG books, so I do like what I see here.
Awesome lighting and such a realistic look and feel! Excellent work!!
excellent work !!!!!!
Flawless :)
A great final to the project, wonderfull final effect terrific work ^^
