Description
Tina had been homeless for sometime, wondering why her parents left her. She didn't have friends. Most laughed at her because her clothes were kinda shabby, all but Teika. She loved coming here and sitting with him, and he liked it too. It made her feel better, but she had to wonder that even though she was free and he was not, that they were both trapped in fate's grasp.
Thanks for looking and supporting my work as always.
Comments Welcome
VuePro/Poser 4/LW/Painter/Photoshop
The scene was assembled and rendered in Broadcast mode of VuePro, which took 8 hours to render (4-1/2 of which was anti-aliasing which makes no sense to me). It was all created as one scene which was driving me crazy on how to get the water in the back and not in the front. Even though it does have some other program elements in it, I wanted to post it here because I was particularly proud of the effects that I was able to get from the Vue renderer. I hope you don't mind.
Postwork was done on the hair, clothes, and just a touch on the image to correct some post render things I saw that didn't warrant another 8 hours to try it again. :)

Note: I am involved in several new projects both in and outside of 3D, so time has been terribly short. I do wish I could get to all of your works, but I will try very hard to catch them when I can and hope you'll forgive me on the ones that I miss.
