Description
I'm drowning in a sea of griefMy mouth dry from ashen sorrow
My soul quiet as a whisper
A soundless specter without meaning
Missing the most valuable moment
That made me whole...
Your presence beside me.
A 3D Studio Max render of a Poser character. Wireframe modified on Creature Creator. Surface texturing effects made on Open Canvas. Direct render, without postwork.
Dedicated to the caring memory of Heidi Ames (1973-2004). May she find peace and her presence remain among those who loved her dearly. There's available an Icon Pack for Windows XP of this graphic.

In my Gallery at DARE I explain some of the thinking behind this graphic, in case that you're curious about that.
I'm pleased that you can see the beauty behind the sadness.

This piece is so beautiful and sad at the same time. You captured the emotion of lonelyness perfectly. I'm truly amazed with what you can do with CG. I wish I knew more about it so that I could leave a good comment but i'm at a loss for words... Gorgeous work.
Is that who I think it is in your icon?

Hey carlos, thought you might be interested to read "Mariana", a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson, the 19th Century British poet. There's a striking similarity between his poem (available at [link] ) and the image you have conjured here.
Lovely work.

It's a pleasure to see that you have related Tennyson's poem to my graphic. It's such an honor. I remember this poem from my college years, and now that you mention it, you're right. I'm glad that you saw such message in my graphic.
Thanks for your kind words, if a little bit late.

What a nice tribute for Lady Heidi Ames ...
Those are very sad words .. yet powerfull.
The picture to go with it is amazing.
I love how soft it is.
You kept everything in the Earth tones ... very nice.

It means a lot to me that you like this graphic. Conforming the texturing becomes more and more detailed I've had to come out with ideas to light up in a way that the scene becomes a whole, showing some elements, but not too much of them. In this particular graphic that became an issue. The trick here was hiding the eyes. That sets the whole feeling of the scene and gives it a whole different meaning. Also, it was keeping the Earth tones (mostly yellow and brown) in enough amount to give it a certain "old" quality. She's wearing a male's jacket, that belongs to someone who isn't on the scene, waiting for a meeting that will never take place. So it all becomes more cinematic if she lets slip the rose (that has a source of light inside the rose) and fall. The "soft" quality on it is achieved overexposing the scene with lots of white spotlights close to the surfaces, so the dress reflects all the light, but keeps some on the texturing.
