I appreciate the compliments.
What needs to be known here is that not everything seen in a picture like this is by the sole work of the author.
I did not create or engineer the models. I posed them in Poser. They came with default skin textures, which I changed with lighting and postwork in Photoshop to appear as real as possible. But I didn't actually create the texture.
The trees and grass are created by a program called Vue. I configured them the way I wanted them to look, based on factory pre-sets inherent to the program. The program then generated them and I put them where I wanted them.
That said, I, as with any poser artist, did create the situation and the expression on the girls faces and the positions they're in. I, as with any poser artist, spent hours experimenting with lighting to make the scene not only as real as possible, but as striking as possible. And I took the time to fix the inconsistencies and errors inherrent to any poser work after the whole thing was done.
I'm proud of the work and relish the time spent, but it must be known that some of the most exacting processes that would go into a picture like this aren't necesarily done by me at all.
