Guardian 2 4K
Added 2020-01-03 20:21:47 +0000 UTCSecond image for 2020 is a very complex scene with a very complex character.
World Gardens Japan is an extraordinary environment by Howie Farkes, but due to the thousands and thousands of plants it is not easy to handle and to even preview. To get a good lighting is very difficult and time consuming. In addition the G8M character contains custom morphs to shape the upper body and has new special skin settings that needed hours and hours of test renders.
After I tried out the DAZ "dForce" G8 kimono (without success, it really looked so awful) I decided to create my own kimono in Marvelous Designer, to be able to close or open it. Also the textures and shaders for it were a challenge.
Final arrangement, camera positioning and image composition resulted in a scene that needed again hours for rendering in DAZ Studio and postwork in Photoshop.
Version 1 and 2 I can finally present now here for all my Patrons. I plan a very few more scenes and hope you'll look forward to it. :)
Again all the Best for the new decade to all my Patrons and I hope you will further enjoy my artwork through the year.
With love, Jepe

Thank you so much, Rob. It is of course a difference when you had the chance to visit such a graden in Japan itself than to just imagine it with a 3d environment. :)

2020-01-04 22:58:29 +0000 UTCAt the risk of being "that guy", may I ask why the model used isn't asian in appearance? The environment is Japanese, yet, the person representing the place isn't?
