Description
A graphical interlude while I put my mind around the Ishtar series.
This is Val's newest character, Shirifa, with pose and weapons by Jenny and Chuck. Thank you ladies and gentleman. Sorry it has taken so long I am really trying to push through my Ishtar series, but you people are providing some luscious diversions!
This work was inspired by Dr. Carl who is a master of simplicity in his set design. Here I reduced the set props to just a bird, a cat, and a coupla pots.
Sharifa's facial features appear to be African but her skin tones are more Middle Eastern or even Mediterranean. Perhaps she is Ethiopian? Regardless, when I saw this character I knew that she had to come from a sun drenched land and so I put her into DM's new Sunedge and set the scene with a hot, sunny didi_mc backdrop.
I love how this character's well defined muscle morphs and the subtle complexity of her skin textures really play with the light in this scene.
This image gave me a chance to work with painted hair, which I found I truly loved! But is it just me or is it always really wierd rendering cueball bald chics? Thanks to Jenny for suggesting I try CWRW mane n tail pack! A fair bit of photoshop tweaking went into making it look like this but CWRW structures and base textures are just amazing.

Very nice work, Roxy! she does have that hot climate look about her as well as just being hot! Great setting as well
Wonderful character the hair is really amazing! Also the eyes are an improvement.
Just a dream for the eyes . Whooooo So nice ((5++))
WOW Roxy!!! sweetie I love that hair super job!
Wonderful composition! I really like the dynamism her hair gives to the scene!
Yes! Finally a painted hair! Been working but I saw your work and can't help but comment. You've done a terrific work on her hair. I will also suggest StudioArtVartanian's (Jo) Oriental Fantasy Hair, a good base for long flowing hair. The fun part is painting the highlights. Congrats for a job well done, Roxy!
You really did a fabulous job with Val's beautiful new character Roxie. Love what you did with her here from her lovely flowing hair To the dynamic setting you have her in.
incredible flow and movement--it's "oh my god" gorgeous....I do hope your heart has healed from you last render--believe me I hate putting the screws to my beloveds as well... But more Ishtar is to come, yes???

Gorgeous Roxy - love the pose, expression, lighting and effects. The textures are top notch too. The simplified set design brings the focus to the character, so I think this is a good thing. Very nicely done!

Awesome warm colors. Love her expression. Very cool character. Love the hair. Yes you should try the Mane and Tail pack. It's great for cool hair styles.
