Description
This image is based on the story of Resurrection Mary, a ghost who, in life, was abandoned by her fiance at a party -- jilted and humiliated.
While walking home, she was struck by a carriage (in the historical version) or a car (in the modern version) and killed instantly. Now, she waits at the site of her death, hitching rides with unsuspecting strangers after dark, luring them to the cemetery to join her in death...or simply saying "thank you," getting out of the vehicle, and then vanishing into a tomb. ;-)
Credits:
Character: Ghost for V4/M4 (Nathalie & Subgraphick)
Hair: Kirke Hair (3D Dream and Mairy)
Background/Lighting: Hallowed Eve (DAZ 3D)
Outfit: V4's Dress Up Chest by yours truly (available in my Free Stuff section)
Textures: Velvet Baroque by macatalier (of Sew and Sew texture fame)
This is one of the renders I did to test the .pz2 files in the freebie set. Render made in Poser 8. I usually use D3D's Perfect Skin python (Renderosity), but I didn't on this one because it altered the 'ghost' texture. :-) It's still a great plug in though!
Hope you like this...it's my favorite of all the 'test' or 'promo' images I did for Dress Up. :-)

Thank you, Noel. :-) I appreciate that. Subgraphick -- one of the inspirators of the image! ;-) Thanks for the comment! I really like your 'Ghost' characters, also. Your comments are welcomed, guys. :-) Jan
Hey, Drakelot! We were posting at the same time, I see! :-) Thank you...SubG is to thank for the character and the lights...I think they came with Hallowed Eve, thank goodness. Lighting is one of my weak points, so I surely appreciate that nice comment! :-) Jan
BTW, that's a fantatic icon, you have. I want one like that! :-))))) Jan

Wow! Cool character and light! Very creepy! The dress looks wonderful! Very well done! And thank you very much!
Great scene like the lighting a lot.
Excellent image!
Beautiful lighting and a nice take on the old story. Cool work.
Thanks, Bossie! :-) I wish I could take credit for the lighting but it came with the Hallowed Eve set, I believe. If it weren't for packaged lights, I would be in trouble. ;-) Crudelitas, thank you! I appreciate your comments -- and I'm glad you like the image! :-) And I'm glad you like the DressUp set, too. You're very welcome and I hope you can use it somehow. Hi, Roywing. :-) Thank you -- especially for the comment on the lighting. That's my weak point. ;-) Hi, Sigma. Thanks!!! :-) You know the story, too, shamstar? Pretty common, huh? I saw it on tv once...bet it'll show again soon since this is THE month! ;-) Thank you much for the comment. I appreciate all your comments. They are very encouraging! :-) Makes me want to get to work on another dress up set, right away! I will try to visit all your galleries soon, I promise. It's very kind of you all to take the time to look and comment, and I do appreciate it. Jan
Excellent scene, fine illustration of the story.
Thanks! :-) I'm a ghost nut -- I oughta be entering some of these lovely 'scare you to death' contests, for my own pleasure. Where does the time go? ;-) I appreciate the comment, very much. Jan

Thanks! Expressions are one thing I need to work on, like lighting, so I appreciate that. :-) Jan
