Description
The Queen has to make a decision. Her country is facing an invasion by the Army of the Nybras. If she agrees to surrender right now, her people will survive in relative peace but under the harsh yoke of the Nybras. If she chooses to fight to stay free, hundreds of thousands of men, women and children will die and the land will be laid waste. Even if they win it will take decades to rebuild and thousands more will die in the process. At what point is the cost of freedom too high?
When I started throwing things on the screen, I had no idea this is where it would end up. BEFORE anyone starts on the “floating” queen, she IS on the surface. I even put the camera on her foot and did renders. If I so much as dropped her an inch, the lower part of her foot disappeared. There is something about that surface that renders oddly.

Fantastic story and creation, all very nicely done!
Beautiful image, T. Love the dilemma she faces, surrender isn't always the best 'for the people' either even if they do not die.
Very cool image!!
Very beautiful !
happy to drop by for this production Terri this is excellent my friend!!
Damned if you do and damned if you don't! Liberty or security you can't have both! Personally, I'd choose liberty.1
Great scene
Awesome scene!
The choice is difficult.......amazing devilish creature, impressive image !
Cool !
Dramatic scene with great figures,poses and lighting.
Very great scene and story! Love it!
Yeah, probably it is the missing ambient occlusion effect or the missing shadows around her foot and cloth together with that strange spot on the floor that makes the impression of floating...
Great story and scene! I know what you mean about the "floating character." Been there before re: comments.
Very well done scene!
Excellent scene.
Stunning image my friend :)
Oooh, now that's nice!!!!
Beautiful image, GT! The floating queen might have something to do with the displacement setting? Just a thought. Wonderful work! Bravo and many fine kudos!
Beautiful image and fabulous story.

Bit of a change of direction, nice work
Marvelous image!
A job very well done.
There is no cost too high for freedom, though it may cost every man, woman, and child.
There's a great story here GT...Excellent image & the Queens foot looks OK
Better to die free than to live as a slave. Nice work!
Phantastic render, Teresa. Thanks for describing your workflow. It is so interesting to see the result that is born out of the egg of the idea
