Description
So... I'm terrible at making scary things. I intended to make scary thing. But... anyway.
This is Velvet. She's an enchanted mannequin. Her seamstress wizard was killed by a wandering pack of murder-hobos... er, "adventurers" while she was out collected iris blossoms to make dye with. That was twenty years ago, and all this time Velvet has been alone. And lonely. She doesn't really have any concept of of how time works but eventually she realizes that her mistress has been gone an awfully long time. It doesn't help that the enchanted candles never burn down. Or that there's enchantments to prevent dust from gathering.
Now she doesn't know what to do, because she could really use someone to talk to her. The rat in the pantry stopped moving AGES ago, and there just isn't anybody left.
Poor thing.
Anybody want to be her friend?
This is Girl 6. I've used "Elegant Fabric Shaders" on her skin, and "Vintage Enamel Shaders from Khory_D" for her eyes and teeth. I removed her eyelashes, because... well, they don't make sense, do they? The pure black velvet shader I first tried was like a black hole that didn't show detail no matter how I lit it up, so I switched to grey and darkened it until I hit that sweet spot. Lips are red velvet, obviously. Eyes are Black from Vintage Enamel, with the teeth done in cream. Both high gloss.
Hair is "Pure Hair: Crazy." I figured an older hair set would give me more of a yarn look, and I remember Pure Hair Crazy having these nice flat ribbons. It took a bit to figure out which shader to use. I tried a blanket shader, but it didn't really work, and then a lace shader which was better, but still not quite right. Then i remember I had some knit patterns in "Everyday Fabric Shaders" and that did the trick! I like it, anyway.
The set is "Gothic Bedroom." It came with an HDRI, and all the candlelight. From there, I've got a three-point lighting setup with spotlights to dial her in. When i switched to the grey, I found I had the lights set WAY too bright. Seriously... that black velvet shader is NOT easy to light. I think this looks better anyhow.
Lemme know what you think!

Love those lips : ) Great job
Thanks! I rather like how they turned out myself.
Have that song black velvet in my mind now. Sweet dark beauty. She could leave a big lipstick mark on your collar.
Yeah, me too. She's perfectly fine with snuggles, too.
now this is creative, excellent and well done
Thank you very much, Tracesl!
very imaginative story and render
Thank you. Got a whole tale spinning in my head now. She didn't even exist as a concept until I went on my walk this morning.
For a fantastic story it takes a mysterious character, great job LyleAryn 👍🙋♂️
Thank you. I might just have to introduce her to my players. She ought to fit into the setting well enough.
What a wonderful, tragic story. Great picture too!
Thank you. I'm glad it's to your liking.
i am not sure if i like that - look kind of funny if I may say so
Of course! Always speak your mind, my friend.
Looks good - and the dragon on the dress is a nice touch
Thanka. I figure the seamistress was working on a dress for one of the King's many wives when she disappeared.
very well.
Thank you very much!
Very odd! Interesting little tale to go with it, I think you may have to do a continuation...
I think so, too!
Wow !! I am pleasantly surprised by this completely atypical creation. What an excellent idea, I admire your beautiful work hibiscus:
Thank you very much, Kord! Have a lovely day.
With this title, the song by Alannah Myles - Black Velvet comes to mind! Fantastic creation,excellent done,love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! And yeah. That song has been running through my head as well.
Cool and imaginative creation; I can see her as the star of many future adventures....
Yes. I'm working on a another now, but having a little trouble getting it to flow just right.
pretty skin texture, a character while sewing
Yeah! I've decided for her adventuring gear, she'll have a giant needle to use as a sword.
fantastic
Thank you!
Well, that would definitely be a bummer.... Poor thing... She does look like she's made out of velvet - super job on her!
She might have been born yesterday (to my mind) but I think she's going to be starring in my next book.
Thank you for the feedback!
Very original and nice story to go with her.
Thank you. I think it's going to be my NaNoWriMo novel.
This is really cool - I like the emphasis of her dragon on her leg. I like her in this outfit - it makes her more mysterious.
Thank you. I rather like this outfit to. I imagine she'll probably take it with her on her journey.
Dang, an enchantment against dust, could use that right now. Poor thing, nicely done!
Thanks, Ikke! I'm looking forward to writing a whole novel about her, which means there will probably be more renders of her to come.
Great render, exquisite outfit, gorgeous background. Daring approach. She looks intriguing and sweet but, with velvet, you never know. Wonderful Artwork.
Thank you very much! I appreciate the feedback. She's such a fun character for me. Tragic, but in a sort of clueless way.
Nice work .
Thank you very much!
Gorgeous character and work!
Thank you, Shadownet! I enjoy your gallery. Sorry I haven't been commenting as much lately - things be hectic!
Very sultry and sexy babe! Magnificent image! Bravo!
Yes, very. Going to be interesting to see what happens when she comes into contact with people.
