Description
Alice pondered her life and her reflection. In her mind's eye she saw the child who had impatiently wanted to be "grown up". "It's not all it's cracked up to be, honey," she murmured to the mirror.
Molly's art notes: Set up and rendered in Poser 12.0.619 with Superfly Cycles 2. Both characters are the work of Tempesta3d with Li'l Alice using the Kids 4 mesh and her grown up reflection using V4 with Sasha-16 weight mapping.
Still being in an "artsy-fartsy" mood I reversed the composition and the sense of wistfulness looking back instead of forward. I hope you like it and maybe now I have this/these characters taken care of.

Wishful thinking can waste a lot of time and energy if you let it...
Thanks for the emotive reminder!
Thank you! I'm so pleased that you liked it enough to comment, my dear.

Oh sweet! Lovely render.
Thanks, Annie! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it enough to comment!
Molly
Oh love it from this opposite perspective too!!!
Since I had to two original renderings available this was just an exercise in reversing the composition. In the end, I might like this one a little better but the truth is I like 'em both and am so pleased that you enjoyed this enough to comment!

Great composition, wonderful atmosphere and lighting, brilliant render. Magnificent Masterpiece of Finest Arts. I love it!
Thank you, Marius! You are very sweet to say it!

Oh I missed this! Rather, I saw it but didn't realise the roles were inverted. Well, nicely done, because it does indeed go both ways. I guess we always want the opposite of what we have eh? This version might actually indeed be a little more common. If you aren't already familiar with it, check out the photo serie "Reflections of the Past" by Tom Hussey. It's amazing.
First of all, thank you for the comment, my dear! Secondly, I was not familiar with that photo series and I have to say it IS amazing and I really appreciate you pointing it out to me! I can always use inspiration and ideas from the work of others. It's just one of the reasons that I treasure comments like yours! <3
very good!
Thank you! I really appreciate that you took time to leave me a comment!
Beautifully composed, and lovely lighting!
Thank you, my dear. I was particularly pleased with how this and the other, opposite, view came out. I really appreciate that you took a moment to let me know that you enjoyed it.
