Description
This would be a new illustration for the book. The idea is that she's disconnected from the world around her. I'm not so good with post work, though. I THINK I did ok.
Used Sun-sky for the light. Used dForce breasts. Jam Hair. And Lenny, of course.
I would go into detail, but I'm sooo tired. I'll ramble on the next one. I promise! (Actually, the next one comes with a story, so that's a rpomise I'll keep!)
Two renders. One with, one without the wall. Three layers in gimp. Not quite what I originally had in mind, but I don't think it's too bad. What say you, friends from Renderosity?

Nicely done! (Now go get some rest!)
Thanks. I probably should. I got to drive in 11 hours and I've been awake since Friday or Thursday. They tend to blend together after a while.
Works well for me! I like the different colors of the wall which add to her separation.
Thanks! I'm kinda proud of the idea.
cool, creative - excellent
Thank you!
I say more power to your Gimping elbow my friend! Looks great, says what it needs to. The colour of her shirt matching the colour of the "real" bricks creates connection, while her being framed in the white faded area screams of separation; kind of "there but not there"...
Thank you. It's a powerful feeling, I only hope I can share. That's what got me started, really. Trying to convey difficult emotions. Trying to escape the grey.
well done.
Thanks!
A work full of sharpness and an image full of charm
Thank you, Kord! I hope you are doing better. Love all the freebie poses! Actually planning a piece around one. Should be up in the next day or two.
the character emerges well from the background, I even thought it was a portal to another world, beautiful composition
Thank you. Hopefully the book becomes a portal into her world. :)
Very emotional scene. You've done an excellent job of conveying her sadness and confusion.
Thank you. With her, I'm moving away from using preset expressions. I did the last two "by hand." And they're my best with her.
great render my friend ... hope you have also a great day
Thank you, brain. You're appreciated.
neat idea, has a bubble effect
Thank you.
terrific idea on this, looks like she's coming through the brick wall.
I rather like it, myself.
nice scene! :)
Thank you very much, Lord!
You did ok! A sweet and vulnerable little girl has been displayed here to best effect! Nicely accomplished.
Thank you. I think I'm going to do a close-up of her expression because I really like it.
Excellent work!!!
Thank you, kindly!
Totally beautiful work my friend. This one has a lot of emotion packed into it. It feels to me like it has a lot of you in it. Well done and very well expressed.
Thanks. Yeah... Lenny has a lot of me in her. Wanted some distance, so I originally created her to express things I was feeling. Her first render being an early version of "Lenny Cuts."
There is a little sadness in this render, that is so full of emotion! It looks perfectly natural, as sadness and joy are both part of the human condition. You have done a great job, in portraying the mood in this render. Excellent and very well done! :-)
Thank you. I'm glad that's coming through. Honestly, it's how I've been feeling for the past couple weeks. And, as it so happens, it works well as an illustration for the book, too. Looking on the bright side, if I didn't feel this way I couldn't have made this.
Have a great evening, kind sir.
Spectacular and excellent work, my friend!!! 👍🙋♂️
Thank you very much, my dude! I enjoy your work.
Your image just reflects my mood since some Days!
Aww. 'tis tough, but we're tough people, for life has made it so.
Nicely done.
Thank you! That makes me glad that you think so.
Really well done with a lot of emotional impact. I think we've all felt a bit 'greyed out' the last few months. Fortunately we have our art and each other to help us power through the grey periods.
Thank you. I start each day looking at art. And reading comments. So much healthier than other social media I could be browsing. You have a good one!
very dramatic mood and composition
Thank you! I'm really happy with how I've been doing her expressions lately. Glad you stopped in! Take care, my friend.
You did fine on post work!
Thank you! That's quite kind.
Amazing !
Nicely done.
Thank you, x7. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.
