A favorite grandson delivering the eulogy at his wine loving grandmothers memorial service. That's her in the metal box by the flowers she loved to grow. :)

A super render of this character, very well done!

Marvellou render - and a great interpretation by Windigo!

interesting interpretation by Windigo. I envision him as a used-car salesman-turned Evangelical minister wondering how to get more money from his 'flock' who are just gullible enough to be sheared by him.

cool work

I can see all those things you mentioned or a recovering alcoholic that is about to fall off the wagon and is praying for divine help? Excellent image by any measure! Bravo!

excellent

Cuz every girl's crazy about a sharp dressed man. ZZ Top.

A super render my Terri a great production

lol.... Yup too many possibilities :)

Excellent render and character!!!

I see... trousers that need ironing... 😁

I think he's getting ready for a date and hoping it will be true love.

I am a sentimental guy...so I'd see a broken heart guy hopping she changes her mind !

Very nice

I see one glass and a half empty bottle of wine. Whatever he's up to, he's feeling no pain.

Well, hard to say without hearing him heh :)

Awesome!

I see a seductive man thinking to his future seduction plan ;) !

Wonderful image my friend :)

Possibly praying that we all survive until the next election?

Whatever the case, it's a great render, Terri!

Excellent

Well there is definitely something going on with his trousers

I think his asking or begging is love to marry him Grate work ..Cheers

well done

Very pretty composition!

I luvved this image when you posted it because, as you suggest, this guy could be any number of personalities. I can see what you suggested, but because of his open expression, he strikes me as someone either seeking something/someone, or out-and-out pining for them. Still, he does have a look like he's trying to sell us something, lol. A helluva con man, because he looks like this deep, sincere soul; so, if he's a conman, he's using his sincere look to hook customers. This is a terrific character study. You got a lot of possibilities in this guy's expression and pose (with his hands in that praying position---perfect for a preacher). When I was younger, playing jazz and such in clubs, I was sent to a PR guy in NYC, and this dude turned sincerity into an art form. He pointed at me when I entered the door like I were god incarnate (just propping me up so I'd use his services), he told me to sit as if I'd just come from 40 days and nights in the desert, he said "your music---it made me cry" (he'd heard 1 song from a basement tape submitted to him by a friend---not a good recording!), and then he proceeded to draw small and large circles in the air, telling me that the small circle was "you, now," while the big circle was "you, in one year": Then he said, "if you're not that circle? your money back---hey dude: If I'm lyin', I'm dyin'..." At that point I prayed for a quick death...your character could be that guy in a new york minute. Great characterization, and your light looks like "revelation time," and those lines in the background---either the Brooklyn Bridge just paid a visit, or this man is making stars bend. Great background, Teri, and just enough stuff on the table to suggest he's simple, but really sensitive. Love this piece. (Great clothes too.) Terrific image.

(Oh...and the PR guy? He talked to a painting on his wall! He said: "Tell our musician how good I am at what I do---go ahead!" What I would do to have that on film...)

I see a very sexy con man!
