Description I wanted to try something different, so I gave Aiko a try for the first time (Freja's Delilah). I really enjoyed playing with her additional expressions and will definitely use her again in the future.

And as hubby surprised me with a new computer for Christmas, I wanted to really put it through it's paces on this image to see what it could do. Eight cores rendering instead of two is pretty sweet, and with aggressive IDL settings, DoF, and increased DPI, finished this in just under 11 hours. My old machine would have probably just gagged and died.

Minimal postwork to soften the DoF blur.


As with all of my images, ask before you use for any reason.

I can't say enough about this image! I LOVE the look you captured in her face....it says it all: frustration and discontent in her situation;sadness and resolve in her acceptance of the way things are. And yet.....there's still that look in the eyes and the way she holds herself that says that she hasn't COMPLETELY given up hope, and ALL is not lost. I love it!!!! GREAT job!!!

Long render times on final renders usually don't bother me as I just run them overnight. I actually love getting up in the morning to see the final piece. And I know I make my own pain most of the time. hehe

DarkStormX1 [2010-01-03 22:18:01 +0000 UTC]

Beautiful soft posing, and usually when the shins get that close to the thighs it tends to get a lot of cross talk and goofy angles and lines for poorly. This works. Great DOF and awesome render setup. Well done and an instant fav.

Thank you for the comment and the favourite.

Sadly, I wish I could take more credit for the pose than I can. I found a great base to start from, and the reasons you noted were exactly why I used it.
