Nailing the lighting has been very difficult and it has taken all day to get these rendered. I'm leaning more toward the darker more intimate lighting, rather than the overexposed lighting I'd done with Roxy and Emmy. Not too dark, mind you, but not so bright that it washes them out. For reference, I'm looking at Liana's third picture (or second from the bottom) as my goal. Scene lighting is harder to render, but when I get my new PC in, I shouldn't have as much trouble working with it. And obviously the next time you see this I'll have the text in place; I just wanted to put something out there.
Also, I want to thank those of you that have chosen to continue supporting me. Although you may one day leave me, I hope you enjoy what I have for you while you're here. Thank you very much. 💗
