    OK, here we go.  Final, postworked version of "Mandala Mermaids," before I post it.

     

    I absolutely love Mandala Mermaids.  It's different and extremely well done!

    I don't think I'm going to make the deadline. Been moving everything to a new computer for the last week or so and still working on it. But the new rig can do Iray fairly fast, so I'm happy! Good luck to everyone, so many great entries this month!

    Kaliadder ​"Pose: Expression is just ... not ... right .... trying to find that balance of "I may look young and sweet, but don't hack me off and let me find you in a dark alley" ... or something like that."


    Based on your idea and looking at your revised expression, I make the following suggestions:

    You want her to be friendly but have a little bit of edge.  I suggest taking the right eyebrow and lifting the outer a little, but not enough to be diabolical.  Raise the bottom eyelid on the left (smile) side just a touch. 

    Lastly, turn her eyes so that she is looking directly at us. 

    I like the lighting in her hand, but what is causing the light?  Are you planning on adding something in postwork?

    Thanks.  I had fun doing it.  I'm going to make another render diary for this one in my render thread.  I already made one for "Bishop Takes Queen," so check back in a little while.

    My original render idea for this month was not to be. Too many distractions (all those new shiny things in the store I pick up and want to render right away) combined with severe lack of self discipline made the time run out on me. But at least I got my other idea in.

    Good luck everyone! As usual, many great renders this month. And for everyone not making it, as long as we learn something along the way, we are still winners!

    New computer!  What utter bliss!  I rendered my mermaids at 3000x3000 in 16 minutes. 

    Good luck everybody!
