"Beloved Muse"

*~* Dedicated to Visualgirl *~*
Usually punctual and rarely belated, I truly had to scramble in my spare time the past two weeks to get this image done! This image is dedicated to the one and only Melissa whose birthday was celebrated by many in such a unique and fun way with her Birthday Bash Contest! I truly hope you had a fantastic birthday month, and you helped inspire so many of us here with your beautiful poem which kept some of us busy with thoughts and creative ideas! The words and concept of the poem were very strong and passionate, and I must say that I could relate to it immensely. I wanted to say thank you very much for all you have offered the community, as well as the fantastic sponsors in this contest, and I can't think of a better way to celebrate your special day! La mult ani, Melissa!
*~* Image Notes *~*
In my mind, I translated Melissa's poem into my personal experiences and decided to depict a man very distant from his only love whose every thought revolves around her being in his heart. Sometimes love and passion can be bittersweet, but we keep in our minds the intensity which drew us into the relationship in the first place. I didn't want to portray sadness and sorrow in this image; the aspect of tragedy seemed a bit melancholy and morose for a birthday image to me, although the words are very emotionally intense. His vision of her in a beautiful place and the hopes and dreams which keep him striving daily to persevere and overcome the trials of life seemed to be the epitome and embodiment of passion in my mind; hopefully I achieved that depiction accurately in this piece. After all, it's always better to focus on the positive aspects of life versus dwelling on the negative. Again, Happy Birthday Melissa and thank you very much for the inspiration!

It is absolutely magnificent, there are no other words... To see, difficult to say, with which product the render was made. Certainly "Vue5"... Bravo!
This is really cool.. not only did you make a remarkeble Poser image, but also composited it beautifully and very original (especially impressed by the idea with the overlay of the male head - like a thought or something she remembers from the past). Fantastic details in the image, figure, clothing, use of lighting (really cool) and overall soft feeling. Excellent work my frind (glad you used your spare time on this work David, it was well worth the effort). Excellent + Vote

Brilliant! I love the setting and lighting, as well as the ghosted image of her beloved. You've so brilliantly captured the feel of love and longing and your attention to detail is incredible. Exceptional artwork!
Wonderful lighting and a complex and beautiful scene. I'll have to go look at the poem, now that you have described it so well. I sometimes wish that I was young again, able to feel things this passionately and deeply. Excellent and provocative work!

I do not work in Poser but certainly admire those who know the ins and outs and can create a vision in their mind and share it with others. It was the title that made me select this image to comment upon. The Muse who can inspire us when present and torture us when absent.
