Description
TFW stands for Torqual Fashion Week, and sorry for being a bit slow getting it underway.
I thought I would start first with Amanda, and a new winter outfit I designed for her. We haven't seen grown-up Amanda for a while, so this is a photo definition render - do click twice to enlarge, if you like details.
Custom textures for the sweater and tights are by me. I agonized between boots and shoes for this outfit but settled on these lovely shoes.
I was thinking of a possible future adventure in this outfit. Do you like it? Do you prefer the new one or the original one? I like the old one so much I can hardly decide myself.
Do check out the other outfits designed so far in Torqual Fashion Week...

I concur with the commenters below -- great job on all the details here. I want to speak especially about her expression. As usual for your work, her face has a very realistic feel to it; the spark of life is there! I have seen many artists slave over their models' bodies and then half-ass the faces. Yet the face is the most human of all parts of the body...and if beauty is to be found in the whole person, that beauty will be found in the face as much as anywhere. You capture such beauty here.
Interestingly, Amanda has a slightly more sassy or confident look here, which seems entirely in keeping with her as being more grown-up.
Providentially, I was actually doing some workups for a winter setting which would follow the Summer Sleuths stories (between 6 months and 3 yrs later), and had been trying to think of attire for Amanda. That's a lot of effort for me, as I don't have your flair for imagining or depicting female fashions. But lo and behold, here's Amanda in a winter outfit. If you're still interested in a story which includes Amanda in this outfit, let me know!

How high would you say those heels are? Figure I may as well ask before I describe them in the story, and the time in the story for Amanda's wardrobe change is approaching.

Thanks again. My goal with every piece of 3D art is to feel like a person is looking back at me from the screen. If I don't feel that, I don't finish or upload it.
This outfit does bring Amanda 'up to date' as per her unfinished timeline. She's around 21 here and, yes, maybe a little more confident.
And of course I am interested in a story that includes Amanda in this outfit!

Well, you definitely succeed in the expressive department. I don't have any clue how the technical side of 3D art functions, but if it's feasible you might be able to make quite a splash with a facial expressions pack to go alongside your pose packs. A lot of artists could use it. You could call it "Torqual: Expressions," a name which would work equally well for an autobiography or a line of perfume products 
I'm about 5,000 words into a story involving Amanda and Hannah during a winter reunion in the Scottish Highlands. I'm sensitive to writing in anyone else's universe, and I don't want to contravene any of your established rules or characterizations. Would you be interested in seeing what exists so far, for feedback purposes, or prefer to take a look once there's a final draft? This one, unlike my Summer Sleuths entry, does not include supernatural elements, so it might have a prayer of passing muster for canon if you were so inclined.
I'll also stand by on the Ciara stuff. I can hardly expect to monopolize your time!

There are two secrets to expressions:
The first one is moderation and subtlety. The second is that you have to customize each one for each character for each scene and each light set. Shadows on the face play a big role. So, unlike a pose pack, an expression pack really cannot reproduce what I am doing as the same settings would look completely different on a different character with different lighting and the face shot from a different angle.
Very interested to read ANY Summer Sleuths stories - however, I prefer to wait until it's finished, if that's OK?

I see -- evidently the expression grows from the context, which is different every time. Makes sense.
Certainly. I'll email it to you once it's finished.

i think this has the edge - maybe its just the freshness

Hmm, well maybe I should re-render this outfit with the new lighting setup.

i love her in her sweater, so i'd certainly appreciate it...

Very nice and cool artwork.
Fashion Week... do you mind, if we (your followers) make some suggestions?
How about a diving wetsuit or bikini
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am planning Fashion Week 2015 and already have a theme.
Bikinis are a nice idea but it's not the right time of year.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah... but in 6 months, i will be summer again
I'm looking foward to see, what you will create next.

I just studied this picture from the top of her head to the tips of toes. The hair is wonderful! The wisps of hair on her right side give the effect of a breeze blowing from her left side. Her head turned to the side and her eyes shifted to the right to look straight at us is a great touch. I like the little bit of earring showing below her hair, her parted lips, and gentle smile. Her sweater is stunning, the pleated plaid skirt hangs just right, and her black tights are more than beautiful. Her shoes are the same kind my wife wore when we went on our first date. I would love to see Amanda in several adventures wearing this outfit. In US baseball terminology - it's a home run!

Well thank you. All of those details are there intentionally, and that's why I did the pic in super high definition. This is the most modern version of Amanda that we have and she will be coming out again this winter, very probably.

There will be a vote after the last entry... so hold that thought

Awesome! Simply Awesome! Best tights covered legs ever done in 3D!

Well, that's quite a plaudit! Glad you like them!

Ooh! Late to the party, but Amanda's looking ready for anything with this getup! Especially liking the addition of the skirt.

This outfit trashes the old one like garbage, this is her best casual non-boots outfit especially that the old pic does not show her shoes hahaha. Kidding aside, this one is clearly superior over the old one. I like her turtle neck ribbed top, with skirt, stockings and luscious Mary Jane shoes, i love her shoes. It is good that she can also wear mary janes; it is like the pumps but with the straps near the ankle but not wrapping the ankle/leg as in the case of ankle strap shoes (though an ankle strap would also look equally nice). thank you for showing the shoes on the front and oblique view. I'm really satisfied with what i am seeing right now and i can't help but stare.

I am delighted you are at last satisfied! I wish you could take as much pleasure from the rest of the outfit as that which you take from the shoes. For me, every piece of clothing is important.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehehe, it is not that hard please my senses. hahaha well yeah i do and i share the same sentiment but it is just that I prioritize shoes above all. Stockings, bottoms, top, jacket, accessories etc. all have their role to play in making a lady sexy and pretty or highlight the shoes lol. She looks good in this outfit, though I am biased with Dawn's office attire.

Love it T3D!
Great look for Amanda and a nice update to her other winter outfit. If I had to choose between the two I think I'd go with this one, just cause I like the darker sweater.
Excellent work dude and a fine start to fashion week!

Yeah it strikes me that this is an all round dark outfit, although perhaps it seems that way because I used a lighter background than normal.
I'd love to read a MMWAP story one day about Amanda in this outfit....

I think that can be arranged

Ooooh! Do let me know when you're ready to talk about it.

She looks very fetching in that ensemble. I agree, it's a toss up as to which look is better for her, though I've always preferred darker clothing myself
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It IS a dark outfit, maybe darker than I planned.

But it works nevertheless

A quite magnificent idea and a jaw dropping image. Love the outfit, almost like an adult version of her school uniform. Tights and jumper look superb. Great work sir

I was trying to AVOID making it look like a school uniform, however I may have had it on the brain and I suppose it's not a terrible thing if it evokes it. Nice transition back to adult Amanda from young Amanda.

Another fantastic render of young Amanda you mix demure,innocent and sexy so well in this character
She always looks good : salute:

I wrote a critique for someone without realising it would have to be a small novel so looked. For something shorter
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah these critiques have a funny min word length. I was more than happy with the three adjectives you provided.
