Description
Dhalia agreed to some studio portraits and arrived on time. She shyly peeked through her somewhat disheveled hair. "Are you done yet?"
"Just another couple of exposures," I told her. "You're quite pretty; just try to relax!"
Molly's art notes: Set up and rendered with Poser 13.1.469 using the Superfly Cycles X rendering engine with a bit of postwork both in Superfly (very small bit of "bloom" and noise reduction) and then Photoshop (some additional clarity and a subtle vignette). The character is based on La Femme 2, dressed in clothing for V4 by Tipol and my studio is supplied with lighting and props by Afrodite-Ohki's wonderful "Level Up!" content.
Just a simple character idea for another ghost in my Professor Van Humbeek/Lena Bubnoff continuity.

Awesome! Excellent pose and expression - really tells what she is like.
Thanks, Annie. I love Tempesta3D's characters and I thought Tipol's outfit and the pose really went well with her waifish appearance. I really appreciate the comment. <3

I've always rather liked dahlias... :)
Heh. Thanks, Joe. I decided to spell name "Dhalia" the way Tempesta3D did for the character even though I know the flower is spelled differently. She is a sweet little flower no matter how you decide to spell her name! =)
Very lovely!
Thank you, my dear! She really is. I love characters by Tempesta3D. <3

Lovely Molly - and yes, Tempesta is one of the best.
Beware of coquettish waifs with woobie eyes...:).
Not exactly sure what "woobie" is but she is certainly a coquettish waif! XD
Thanks for the comment, JD.
Molly
Very nicely posed and great textures!
Thanks, my dear! I really like Tipol's work and although this isn't a very recent piece the texture came through in Superfly Cycles X really nicely! =)
Molly
Hi Mollz - a 'woobie' is a character who makes the viewer/reader feel sorry for them because bad things tend to happen to them. Doesn't hurt if they are cute or adorable....
Heh. OK. Now I know! Thanks, JD! XD
Molly
This is so fabulous Molly! Love that dress so much, perfect artwork <3
Nothing pleases me more than when a content creator tells me I've used their product well! Thanks so much for the comment, Lori. <3 You know I love your work and use it in a lot of my stories and pictures. =)
Molly
Cute, lovely!
Thanks! I have an idea that you might see more of this character in one of my on-going stories. XD
Molly
Very cute scene with a little story . Love it ! :-)
Thank you for the lovely encouragement, Karth! I'm delighted to hear from you! =)
Molly
Well done. She's quite cute, The shy pose is a good one for the soft colors and shaggy hair.
Thank you! I'm glad that the pose and coloration works for you. I really like this character (as I do with so many of Tempesta3D's work) and have an idea for her to show up sometime in the future in my ongoing story Professor Van Humbeek, Grace the ghost, Lena Bubnoff and all the others. =)

as if one is actually looking into a room. your DOF really rocks
Thank you, my dear! As I know you are a photographer your comment is particularly pleasing to me. I am getting better with DoF; I think it needs to be used in a very subtle manner to mimic what would actually be going on with a camera. Of course, I see it as a tool to lend emphasis to the foreground rather than an artifact of the physics of the camera lens. I'm told really good photographers think of it that way, too! =)
