Description
I know less is more, and this is a lot more than less, but I learned a lot while doing this one and I'm charting my progress here. What began as a Valentine fairytale for singles veered off into a dark and stormy night, then ended up being about oh, well, isn't nature and the mystery of life all grand? Probably because we've had so much snow here, I'm subconsciously wishing it would melt. I've been rendering calm seas all month.
Background created in Bryce, scene rendered in Daz, some postwork in Paintshop Pro. Painted her "waterproof" makeup on a layer since I'm teaching myself how to use my new tablet.

v4.2 Wet hair by Valea. Garden pond by Stone Mason. Lisa's botanicals. Amaree dress. Rain created using the Fog Tool Deluxe 3 by Nerd3D

Superb work, I love the look of concern on your main characters face, and the way you have achieved the rainfall - hugs Jane xx
This is just lovely! Such a tender moment centered oround a deserving but not usually well-regarded little critter!
I think you must love animals and the nature, a very intensive and beautiful scene!!!
Great work, Cathy. And a great concept, too. I'm also a lover of everything natural in this world. Bryce background looks great i think. I'm messing a bit with that too. But Bryce 6.1 renders are SLOW :).. omn old PC's anyway. Maybe the girl on the render is about to kiss the frog :) It should turn into a Price then... according to fairytales.
