"Desire" Release
Added 2023-11-20 23:00:03 +0000 UTCHey all :)
Today I have for you another Claire Redfield pinup, this time in portrait style. I had a ton of fun working on this one, and I hope you all enjoy looking at it as much I as enjoyed making it!
This render came about a bit differently than my works normally do — it wasn't really born of any particular inspiration. Instead, I was simply testing out the latest version of Blender, Blender 4.0, and decided to start throwing together concepts simply on the basis of "I like how this looks." It was very enjoyable to simply cobble something together with no real concern for matching an idea in my mind's eye, but rather only concerning myself with if I thought it looked good.
As for the render itself, I've provided two versions here. While working on Desire, I drafted two different facial expressions which give the piece different moods, and I really liked both versions. So I rendered both versions. For the main/primary/release version (first image), the title speaks for itself. For the more wistful version (second image), the accompanying flavor text: "I need your touch."
Note: The only difference between the two renders is the facial expression; the post-processing is identical. Also, this render just has the one post-processing variant.
In terms of schedule, I'm not sure what the rest of the year will hold. The holidays can be a busy and stressful time. But I will try my best to find some time for Blender work for you all where I can :)
In closing, as usual, the embedded images in this post are the downscaled half-rez versions, and you can grab the native full-rez versions from the MEGA archive!
