Description
"In the mirror I saw him! It was as if he was coming through... uhm..." Lena searched for the proper term in English. "...a, how you say, 'port hole'?
"Portal, pehaps?" Dorotea prompted.
"Da! Absolyutno verno! A portal!" Lena drew a deep, shuddering breath and then continued. "He touched my shoulder and clearly told me 'begi, yesli tvoya zhiznʹ tebe doroga'; that is: 'Run if you value your life'."
Molly's art notes: Set up and rendered in Poser 12.0.757 and tweaked in Photoshop. Vladlena Bubnoff is based on the Bella 1.2 by Ali that is available at his site, Mankahoo. The apparition is based on the Michael 4 mesh with morphs and textures by Tempesta3d. They are in a bathroom that is part of a content set by 3-d-c.

Great lighting. Love their expressions
Thank you, my dear. I spend a lot of time with expressions and sometimes fear I am having my characters "over act" a bit. Your reassurance in that regard is greatly appreciated.
Molly
Gracious, that would be terrifying! Her expression is spot on for seeing something like that appearing behind her in the mirror AND for hearing what he's saying! As for the concern about "over acting," I personally find it far more annoying when characters have little to no expression vs. "too much," given that the lack of expressions is one of the dead giveaways of a 3D render. It's harder to relate to characters with a blank look. But your characters have expressions that suit the situations they're in, which makes it easier to relate to them and to feel what they're feeling! That's essential for storytelling renders :-)
Now I wonder if the apparition knows about something bad that might happen if Lena states at the estate or if he's calling on knowledge from whatever happened to him (that would no longer be relevant to Lena)?! I'll stay tuned to find out :-)
Thanks for reassuring me regarding use of expressions, Amy. =)
As for the soldier's warning, Lena is likely to take it as relating to her current situation but it's likely he's still locked in a loop related to his sudden, unexpected death which is a situation notorious for keeping spirits trapped into haunting the living. I hope you'll continue to enjoy the story. <3
Molly
Whoa!! That would scare me to death!!!!!!! Fantastic work on this!
Thank you, Kellie! It'd scare me as well! XD
Molly
Judging from your product display, I see worse times coming! A very scary development for the young lady! What will she do and how will the residents of the mansion feel about it? Very excellent portrayal! Bravo!
Of course, Professor Van Humbeek will doubtless be excited by the possibilities presented for her research into the occult. XD I'm always glad to hear from you! <3
Molly
Just mind-blowing outstanding fabulous brilliant awesome composition and render. Only.
The amazing lighting also counts a lot..
Magnificent Masterpiece of Finest Arts. I love it!
Thank you, Marius. The lighting has been interesting and challenging and I'm glad you find it worth commenting upon! =)
Molly
interesting page, love he shocked look.
Thank you. As I've noted elsewhere expressions interest me and I always try to find an expression that I think conveys what my characters are thinking or feeling. In a way, this one was easy! XD I'd be scared spitless and I tried to give a bit of that to Lena. =)
Molly
Portals!
Waited to see all four before commenting to avoid a string....
Lena on the throne wasn't at all over the line, though I imagine such possibilities have been thoroughly explored by others in the naughty sites. Makes the girl real, and at least the apparition appeared at a less compromising moment....
Lana's right - the bathroom is impressive, though it lacks an onyx toilet/bidet combo with 14k levers. ..:)
The apparition's expression is great - suits his message. Lena's is as well...
Fun, Miss Molly.
I'm so very pleased for your feedback, JD. It IS a luxurious bathroom but no bidet... XD
I hope you'll continue to enjoy the story which I'm pretty committed to. I've been enjoying doing it which is probably the most important thing.
Molly
Well, that's not what she wanted to hear!! Good twist!
No indeed. Between the sudden appearance of the apparition and the message, Lena is well and truly freaked out! XD
Molly
Whoa! Not only an apparition, but a soldier apparition. I would assume a soldier is brave and if he says to run, I would run. Excellent work on the "appearing" soldier.
Thank you! I had been building up to this since the very first picture in the series and this soldier will be someone that Lena knows. I hope you will enjoy how this continues.
Molly
A beautiful appealing image, just love it very much (expressions & interactions)!
Thanks, Ute. I enjoyed this picture as a technical challenge beside the fact it is a key point in Lena's story that I've been building up to. =)
