Description
Big Sal was employed at one time in the assembly of clanks at the Darkstar Mechanical Servant Manufactory. She was dismissed with almost all of the human staff when the manufactory began to use clanks to assemble clanks. During her employment she was infected with a "clank seed" (the component that provides the brain and neural pathways to mechanical persons or clanks). Such an infection is rare in humans and not particularly contagious but the unmistakable changes to her appearance have been a problem in her relations to other humans, many who are quite prejudiced against clanks.
She has befriended Fryda Nightshade who goes as "Deadly" Nightshade; a teen-aged urchin who survives mostly by cunning and theft. Their partnership keeps little "Deadly" safe from predators and provides Big Sal the advantage of Deadly's sharp mind. Deadly has a variety of weapons but her favorite is the Sound Blaster.
This is basically a character test; I have no detailed story line in mind for these two at this point. I thought I'd get some feedback on my ideas and their appearance.
Molly's art notes: Set up and rendered in Poser 12.0.1029 using Superfly Cycles 2 and tweaked in Photoshop. Components of Blackhearted's Superfly lighting arrangements and Afrodite-Ohki's Level Up were used. Big Sal and Fryda are both based on V4; Sal uses some morphs and textures by Mad Delirium and Fryda some morphs and textures by Steffi at Little Design. Everything except V4 and the content by Little Design is available at Renderosity and I can provide more detail on how to reach the vendor of anything that interests you. Support content creators, their work is the stuff of our dreams!

Mind-bending stuff, brilliant awesome composition and render.

Very fine steampuk scene!
Thank you, Mazzam. They were interesting characters to set up. =)
Molly
cool steampunk work. they are bad azz!
Heh. I'm thinking "bad azz" is a good thing! XD
Thanks for the comment! =)
Molly
..great scene and characters and excellent lightning
Thank you! The scene is pretty minimal but the lighting made it for me. If you are a P12 user I cannot recommend the products by Blackhearted and Afrodite-Ohki strongly enough for help setting up lighting. =)
Molly
this is super steampunk stuff. both characters look tough and very interesting.
Thank you so much for weighing in, my dear! <3 I always look forward to hearing from you! =)
Molly
I giggled like crazy when I saw Cybertenko's Sound Blaster!!! I want one for Real!!
Delightful image with adorable names!
Heh. I had already started the picture when Cybertenko put out that product and I had to repose "Deadly" Nightshade so that she could be brandishing it. I love Cyubertenko's stuff! XD I am so glad that you like the characters.
Molly
Mother an daugther Cyberunk! I like it!
Heh. Well Big Sal is not exactly Fryda's mother but they certainly make an interesting couple. I'm so glad to you like their looks enough to leave me a lovely comment! <3

Hello Molly, I alway love reading your recommendation how the picture was made. Thank you very much for that! I wish you a merry christmas and a healthy year 2012 with a lot of creativity.
You are entirely welcome, Anne! It's pleasing to know that somebody reads all that! I hope a Happy Christmas and New Year for you! <3
Molly
This is very beautiful steampunkwork dear Molly!
I thank you for visiting my gallery and I wish you and yours some peaceful Christmas Holidays!🎅 🤶 🎄
Thank you, Dear Ute. I wish you a lovely and peaceful Christmas and New Year! =)
Molly
Wonderful detail on these. Think Fryda might be better served by a contrasting nickname like Sweet Pea, or Precious....kinda like naming a Pit Bull "Pudding" or a Dachshund "Invicerator".:)
Heh. I like "Deadly" Nightshade, though. XD
Thanks for a comment that gave me a giggle, JD.
