Description
She is trapped in a prison of her own creation. She could escape as she has the keys, yet she remains confined.

Notes:
This is a redux of an idea I originally had in 2009 or 2010 and I’ve recreated it a few times over the years. When I decided to create a new version of this artwork from scratch, I had ideas for more details to add including birds in the background. Sometimes less is more. I think it looks “just right” without superfluous details. I used a dull HDRI to create the realistic yet dim lighting for this scene. I really like the way it turned out. I also started work on a brand-new, more realistic hair shader. This is my first test-run of the new shader.

ein sehr schöner Render
Thank you!
Beautiful no matter it's dark.
Thank you :)
Just stunning!!!
Thanks!
We all sit in the prisons we’ve built for ourselves from time to time. Very nicely done. The atmosphere really comes across well. New hair shader? :D OMG… I can’t wait to see the whole thing!
Thank you for your kind words and understanding the concept. :) I'm still working on the hair shader. It needs some more tweaking before it's ready for publishing.
Been there, done that with the self-made prison thing. I think we all have, one time or another.. And you have captured it sooooo perfectly here, Lizzie! And you are so right about less is more at times. The god-rays in the background are perfect, and your lady is so gorgeous, even in her cell. Beautifully done!
Wonderful scene and great text 👍 And yes, sometimes less is more, I think everything is perfectly coordinated and the hairshader looks great 😊
