Description
We come to Spacegirl (Bathsheba's Starstrider) at last!
And another chance to render a vehicle I haven't before. The "Moon Buggy" which is identified as "Leon" in the viewport. Hmm. Leon the Moon Buggy. I like it!
I changed the backdrop color to bring out the red more. Also tweaked the suit colors to make the black more black. Lots of little adjustments to the lights, and the addition of two more spotlights to the scene to add rim lighting and to spotlight the character. I need to sit down and label them all next.
I decided to use a hair prop instead of the cowl. Short Wet Hair for iray, cause I figure either you'd slick it to fit under the helmet, or it would get awful sweaty working it for long. Either way, I'm liking how it looks on her and will have to use it again. It fits well enough with her usual hair, I think, to be interchangeable.
Thanks for looking! I'm looking forward to doing Raven's Road Warriors. I don't think Rachel has had a chance to play with that big motorcycle yet. She's a bit of a speed freak (If you recall from earlier sets) so I'm sure something special will pop up for it.
Also got something special being cooked up for the Sisters of Chaos, and then something in mind for brain's Cybernoid suit! Woo! This is fun.

I love the composition--she looks like she is giving a casual wave before bumping off to explore--and the floor color is so neutral it's unobtrusive. Leon is a cool buggy! :D
Yes he is! Quite handsome, too. Converted it to iray, adjusted the diffuse slightly, and he rendered up beautifully!
And Rachel? I think she's having fun.
Thanks for the feedback!
excellent
Thank you!
OK - I actually caught myself waving back at her..... I'm hopeless.... And your art is that delightful! This stuff is fun.. π
Awwww. Thanks! That's really nice.
Yup, my new favourite!
This is so like all those obviously staged shots from the 60's and 70's, with astronauts waving casually as though they are just popping off to the local shops instead of blasting themselves out of the atmosphere on the back of a giant bomb, it's uncanny...
Super work!
Thank you! I was hit by inspiration. Repeatedly. Lol. Did the entire pose by hand - you know how long that can take! I'm glad you like it.
Nice moon buggy and the scene is very well done !!
Thanks!
Howdy stranger! What a delightful scene. Love what you've done here!
Thank you. You're too kind.
Nice scifi scène, moon buggy is marvelous.
Thank you!
wonderful retro scifi image!
Thanks! Spacegirl is so much fun.
Wow ! That's stunning!!!!! ππββοΈ
:grun:
Seems all the work paid off then! I'm glad its being enjoyed.
Total awesomeness !
Awww. Thank you so much!
Fantastic work!
Thank you very much Artienne!
Swell job on this render! Very nice result.
Thank you. I was lightly inspired by some classic stuff I must have seen once or twice over the years.
Excellent SF-image, excellent done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! Hopefully it hits that sweet spot.
Nicely done! If i recall, an astronaut said in a documentary that sweat is a big problem in a helmet.
Indeed. I feel like, here, it was probably a choice for the photo shoot. It's just a little TOO styled, you know? I love it.
A very cool buggy and a really enjoyable character. Excellent posing too.
Thank you! Glad you like it. I ended up doing the pose by hand this time, rather than starting from something else.
cool concept pin up
Thank you!
great idea
Thanks, JM!
