Description I have created this image for the weekly feature which required us to use the following props: [link]

I'm not going to say much more about this picture, I would rather let you make your own mind about who the Venetian Sisters are and what they are up to.

Rendered in DAZ 3D, post-work in Photoshop. More detailed in full size!

I hope you enjoy!

I love this picture. The camera angle makes the image so interesting. I like the similar color scheme of their outfits, makes it look like their up to something together. I also think the lighting is really stellar. Love it, love it, love it. Awesome work. I must now peruse your gallery ^_^

Thank you so much for the compliment, not only do I truly appreciate them, but you honor me!! I hope you like the rest of my gallery! Ahaha.

I've had a quick look at your gallery as well, but evil dA is about to accuse me of spamming again since I've been catching up with my week end messages so I'll have to take a better look when the number of messages I can send isn't rapidly diminishing, lol.

You're very, very welcome dear. You deserve it. I'm excited to see more of your gallery.

Heehee, and take your time. My gallery is a little funky cause I've got really old renders when I was a total novice and newer renders that I'm super proud of. But anyway, hope you enjoy.

Ahaha, that's fine. I can understand that. I have my drawings, which look like they were drawn by a 5 year old, and then my renders, so really, you have nothing to be ashamed of!

Heehee okay, sounds good. yeah my drawings too..not the best. But they're all a part of the creative process, you know? And my desire to do more art brought me to 3D renders and I'm so glad to be here.

All part of the creative process indeed! I was really happy when I discovered 3D art, it allows me to more easily create what's in my mind and it's so freaking cool!

Me too. Discovering 3D art was like a complete eye opener. I write pretty heavily as a hobby and I've always wanted to draw some of my characters, and I never had the chance until now. It's such a fun way of creating art, since it's so easy to change things like the clothing and lights. Makes the possibilities endless. Love it, love it!

I am 100% with you there! I feel exactly the same and gone through a similar process, though due to work, I don't write as much as I used to anymore (Just to tired from writing procedures/answering queries at work to get back to writing when I'm home) >.<

Aww, it's too bad your work gets in your way. Although I suppose it will for me too eventually. I'm finishing up my degree right now and plan to start working in the Fall. I can only imagine how that's going to cut into my writing. I love writing so much. But thankfully, 3D is a pretty easy and quick way to get something done to curb those inspirations and plot bunnies we have.

Locke-Lyesmith In reply to dragonkat216 [2011-06-24 10:54:16 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's the thing with me. Writing has become work. So I still have the stories in mind, which means I can still easily put them into pictures, but the act of writing itself, meh, I can't focus enough to do it after work.

I hope it doesn't happen to you, because it's a damn shame I think!

dragonkat216 In reply to Locke-Lyesmith [2011-06-27 16:24:21 +0000 UTC]

I hear ya. I don't work at the moment, but sometimes writing can feel like a chore rather than a fun way to unwind. Happens when I've got a story I need to update and I'm lacking some inspiration juice. But I want to keep at it because there are times it's the most enjoyable thing I do. I do hope a future job doesn't get in the way too much. I might have to cut back on the writing but I never want to stop entirely. It's too much fun to me.

Still, it is nice to have a backup plan (3D art) to allow the words to flow, even if it's a picture rather than a story.

Yes, I'm totally with you there. 3D allows me to still be creative without it feeling like work, so it's a pure joy. But oh how I loved to work on my story. I can only hope one day I find the energy back to do it!!! I think I still have a lot to share!

Nice work there on the characters and perspective. The way they walk towards the viewer and observe the surroundings with those piercing eyes makes one suspect that something definitely about to happen.
You know, you could potentially use this image as the beginning of a complete story about the "infamous masked sisters" you just introduced and their adventures...

Thank you very much! I'm so glad for your comment and that you've noticed their eyes and the way they are walking, that's truly what I wanted to shine out and, well, it seems it worked!

As for making a story with these two, I agree, that think that it would be awesome!!! Thanks for pointing it out!

Great atmosphere and textures, love it!
What do I think they're up to? I think they're kickass masked vigilante ladies, on their way to rid the world of evil and people they don't like.

Haha, I pinched it from one of the episodes of South Park...Stan says something like it when they are pretending to be ninjas. But I felt it was a good line to use in this case!

Gob smacking work! I love the tactile feel to all the textures, you can feel the roughness of all the stone and wood work and the shadows falling in fron of them gives an nice ominus feel.

As for what they are upto? Hmm, they certainly seem to have confident swager to them. The masks and the way they seem to be searching their surroundings with their gaze makes me think they are up to no good! What they are upto I could not say. Robbery? Looking for a fight? Maybe they are just out too intimidate a few people like Chavs do! Yes, I've got it! I found your hidden meaning!

They are Venetian Chavs!

'Sick! Crash me a fag or I'll knock you out!'

Beautiful render bro, I personaly could not offer crit as I don't there is really anything that needs to be improved and it's certainly beyond anything I could do! Thanks for sharing

LOL@Venetian Chavs. It's so crazy how much everyone I know from UK hates Chavs. It's a completely alien thing for us here, we don't have anything like that; I sure, sure there's idiot teenage kids, but they won't try to kick your ass randomly.

And, thank you again for the compliment!!!

Although even if these girls here are chavs, they might change my opinion, even if they do kick my ass!

*please kick my ass!*
