Description
I haven't made a good picture in a while now. I've hit a brick wall. I finally finished my novella and am editing it, but maybe that is the problem as I feel spent on an artistic level. Oh and it's tax time. Oh and work sucks right now. Oh and I don't get enough sleep. Anyway, this picture isn't horrible, but it isn't my best. It didn't turn out how I wanted. Maybe I'm just too critical. That's usually what it is ;)
That prop set I got though is one kick butt set. I LOVE the windows! I have been looking for a set like this for awhile. It's versatile!
Hopefully soon I will get my novella edited and up and feel better artistic idea wise.
The picture in the window is free stuff from here and the necklace is from DAZ in the DarkRites package. I rendered and save as a PNG and edited it in photoshop. I LOVE photoshop and making things look all different LOL. ;)

I'm glad your posting and look forward to reading your comments. I've plenty of ideas and drafts but haven't had the time to finish one yet. (free day tomorrow so maybe one then) Look forward to when you do get those creative juices flowing freely. Your gallery is always a fun one for me to visit. (Oh, and I have plenty of outfits in my runtime that hate me too)
Glad to see you my friend, great work, excellent lighting! LOL, I know what you mean about the outfits!!!
You did a really great job on this lovely image Shannon, Hope your muse returns soon
The feeling of accomplishment from having written is always worth the frustration of writing. (but them butt rivets do hurt sometimes) Congrats on completion of the Novella, and the best to you as you edit. Hopefully you'll find the ideas flowing in short order. And I'm sure the Luna Dress is an agreeable sort. This render has some wonderful spacial effects to it. Are you using focal distances to achieve that? It lends to the realism. Very well Done.
excellent
Happens. As you know I've pulled one down because it was a total disaster. DS4 just couldn't handle the Poser lights for the set. Works fine in Poser. Here the lighting could have been a tad better I think but I see what you were trying to do with it. Glad to see that you can post even when you don't really feel you've done your best. May your Muse return and infuse you with the joy of your art once more. };-)
~I think we all hit that wall at times. And sooner or later we all come out of it! Your muse will return, keep rendering!~
Read the readme!
Very nice! I really like how the light is hitting her shoulders.
