Same as before. Still inspiring. Still makes me think of her every time i hear it now
Let's meet again tonight at our favourite little place in Mirror Park
We'll try this again but I still don't think we'll get anything done...
It's been at least another year and still I haven't got the chance to say,
Always rolling off the tongue, never said but nearly sung about a million ways
Actually... I think I said "I love you" in the description of the original... so I guess it was said
So yeah I've wanted to remake this one for a while now.
I don't really like remaking things because I'd rather put focus on new stuff but this love letter to Misaki is still one of my favourites and I got a little itch to try it again when I saw Shuu update the model so...
Shame I missed getting this out by Valentine's Day but oh well.
I wont remove or replace the old version. It's good to remember where you came from. But now I will have two renders with the same name in my gallery.
Fun fact: I wanted to name this "Japanese Girl" in the kanji but DeviantArt is a bigot and only lets you use English for titles ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's only been a year, so my abilities have not really jumped light years or anything, but my nodes for skin and hair are much better now and I also think my lighting has improved.
Her pose was changed in an attempt to look much more natural than the previous version.
Also I am still fiddling with render layers and ways to make lights and things in the background look better.
Other than that everything else is pretty much the same as the original only I am much happier with it now
hmm maybe until next year when I probably remake it again

It's always a lot of fun looking back on your old works, redoing them and seeing how much you've improved. I'm actually kinda tempted to do that with some old sketches I've had lying around my house.
On an unrelated note: Looking through the window in the background, is that a Dodge Challenger sitting outside the diner?

Aha it's sometimes fun to think of ways to hide it in, but maybe that goes against the point of it XD

What a pleasant surprise, coming here to find the usual DA puke and shit and instead to discover this cutie.
This is a very nice remake and the light makes a huge difference.
As always, your Misaki pose is adorable and those eyes are something to die for.
really good remake.

*I must say, you are not helping at all. We are here supposed to be studying and yet I can't see anything besides that little star on your hair, you are a bad companion for studying.
Man, such an adorable girl that Mehsaki is.
I think that your progress is better on the lights and skin. You are amazing man. You are way better than your grumpy teacher XD (oh God I hope he see this)
Anyway, if I would complain it would be about the 90% of the remake idea, for an anniversary is very romantic to go to a special place but I think that you should change the things on the table. Besides that everything is so damn good.

Such a generic title, doesn't do this pic any justice.
