Description
Ever since I crossed over to 3D art, I've struggled to try and bring my old OC Raina Hunter along for the ride. (Longtime watchers will remember these
) I made a few attempts at trying to include her in on the 3D fun, but ultimately I haven't been pleased with the outcome.
I actually liked the model that I used for this series which was supposed to be Raina
, but as I stated on those deviations the model was a bit "too pretty" for what I wanted for Raina; I'll have to use her for another character/idea b/c I still like how that model came out. Yes, Raina is supposed to be attractive, but a bit more rugged rather than looking like a model. I just wasn't happy with any of the results, and thus Raina continued to get left behind in the dust of my other OCs....
.....UNTIL NOW!!!! I recently tried my hand at Raina again, starting from scratch, and I'm quite happy with the results this time around! The model and the armor is perfect; I did something different with her hair, opting for a simple straight and longer style and deviating from the shorter, bobbed shoulder-length style that I've traditionally given her. For all of you fem-muscle fans...don't worry, she's still fairly jakked underneath that armor! And...to the naked eye at least...I've made her look less cybernetic, specifically with her eyes. Does that mean that she's not a cyborg??? Probably not, but I realize that I need to at least offer some variety among my cavalcade of cyborg characters; she and Simone were waaaay too similar!

On this first pic, I didn't particularly like how the lighting came out...one of the lights that I used had the red setting cranked up higher than I wanted; could've caught it if my laptop could use the Iray preview w/o freezing up! But I fix the light on the other renders in this series, and trust me...it gets much better!
