Description
I don't usually do full on FANTASY pinup. Usually when I'm doing fantasy I'm either doing a character portrait or an illustration or a book cover.
Decided to make a bit of an exception here. Had an image in my head, and went with it.
I guess pinups are my fall back when I'm in a creative slump, lol.
I have to say I was inspired by a miniature I've seen floating around the internet. I'm actually hoping to track down one for my collection eventually, but for now I'll just let it inspire this.
A few details. The pose is by Synful Mindz. Most of the NSFW poses I've purchased I picked up for mostly SFW-type art. Or because it was on sale. This is a couples pose from a set of lesbian poses, repurposed quite well I think. One thing I like about these poses is that they general don't break the model, making them easy to repose.
I did have this really elaborate steampunk image I was working on most of the day the other day, off and on. Using the same River environment. I wrestled with it for hours to make it work. I have to say I'm not a fan of the Daz Steampunk Horse. The saddle has no bones in order to repose the stirrups. I don't know why I keep expecting them to do better. Here we have Centaur 8.1, and it's STILL using the Daz Horse 2 base model.
Anyway, you don't get to see that image because Daz Studio crashed and after working on it ALL day, I had forgotten to save the file.
Then again, I had reason to be distracted. And I haven't been sleeping well.
Today, Mom is having surgery again, this time to have a pacemaker installed. She supposedly will be home tomorrow, but I'm uneasy to have her home so soon after surgery. I had her home Friday. She was home for three hours before I had to call an ambulance again. She'd had a tiny heart attack. It's very stressful. She also wants to take a 3 hour drive to see her sister this week (who is in her final days) and I have to be the bad guy that says NO.
So. Distractions.
I did finish the novel I was writing, so I've got that done. I have been making SOME art, so that's good. Just doing what I can to hang in there until a new normal is established.
Thanks for thoughts and concerned. I promise I'll check out some galleries again soon. I've been too brain dead to comment much.

excellent - wonderfully done
Thanks!
Sorry to hear of your mother - been there.
Been there with the pinups too. I have several scenes underway and can't raise steam including a steampunk which will likely end up a gothic.
Your girl has a pretty substantial weapon there. No room for a scabbard, which might make portage tricky unless she can risk scratching her booty...:)
I'm with you on the 'naughty' poses. When I purchase or create a new character I run him/her through their paces using naughties to test the bones. They do hold up pretty well, though the textures in the nether regions can become distorted - never likely to be an issue for me.
Keep at it when you can and stay strong. Bit of a trope but it fits.
Considering I've purchased just about every scabbard asset that's been produced, it does feel odd to pretend as if toting that big thing around wouldn't be a problem. Of course, could be she had it slung on her back and she left it on shore... There's some room to figure it out.
But yeah. When for appealing. I think. The background (behind the rendered environment) is a picture of an Oregon mountainside. That was fun to add.
The folks making dirty pose sets seem to put a lot more effort into not breaking joints, which I can appreciate.
Very beautiful render!
Thanks! This river bend is a beautiful set to work with.
Excellent work. Really beautiful 👍🙋♂️
Thank you!
Lol .....and that with an almost bare bottom! 😉
I imagine she works up quite a sweat swinging that blade around.
Dang - If she can wield that bit of slicing iron, I'm sure not gonna give her a hard time... Awesome work here, good sir!
Thank you! Every now and then you just got to go with fantasy ridiculous because it's pretty.
pretty outfit to go fishing
I'm sure she'll catch all sorts of things...
