This is Beautifull.....great job

[stroggtank]

Oh wow.. I guess I dont have enought words to thank you all for the kind comments, its more than inspiring to read all the positive feedback and support this image has had in the last couple of days (unexpected, I wont lie :) ) and an award, well unexpected too, thanks for that and for the front page plug, was a very enjoyable and fun work. I´ve had a very busy month :( so responses like this always pushes me forward :beer:

I know there is nothing new to show behind the process, but anyway, just some early images I had from this work:

[benhartnett]

I don't have anything new to add, just agreeing with everyone else that this has a beauty in both the concept and the art. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised to see that kind of gentleness and peace in a 3D image, but I am!

[keerthidharans]

Nice Concept..and looks very catchy for the concept.Bravo!!

[SCB]

Beautiful image, it captures so much feeling. I especially like the warm glow you've given her, reminds me of that common expression used on pregnant people; 'you're positively glowing'

[leeban85]

wow gr8 appeal and style... beautifull :thumbsup: !

would u like to tell
did u use raytrace for shadows and is it Area or point light?? and also i really like the bounce of her left hand on her dress, is it due to reflectivity or is it any cloth material ??

I know this must be a secret but if u like to share :)

[feysless]

Really awesome art!!!

[anuneitor]

I just dont like the hair shader i think is not finished yet, but grat work anyway!

[jimmyswang]

peaceful...

[zek]

Very nice work!
Brilliant

[CaptainDEEZ]

Nice work man.
There's a lot of very good artwork on this site.
I almost don't want to post mine now.

[FastEddie76]

So pretty!

[stroggtank]

Thanks again guy, dont have enough words to thanks you all the feedback on this ;)

leeban85: no secret at all haha, its a really simple setup, two area lights, one spotlight and one point light, all with quadratic decay and raytraced shadows. Hope the attached image can be useful.
anuneitor: so true Anuar, know what you mean, I had a version with a painted hair texture, but looked too noisy and killed a bit the clay/sculpture look I wanted, but you are right, I could used another solution though, thanks man! saludos!
SCB: thanks paul, thats such a nice comparison :D
CaptainDEEZ: thanks man! and dont worry, i feel the same way everytime i post something here D:

thanks! ;)
