I admit it: I'm a total geek. I love electronics, programming, 3D printing, 3D art, and vintage Apple hardware. I'm always juggling half a dozen projects. I also enjoy documenting it all: my successes, my failures, my experiences... and everything geeky along the way.

I had nothing in mind when I started this one. I just made it up as I went along. I just really like that Faertara outfit!

I started with Victoria 6 and applied a few morphs.

I spent a long time experimenting with poses. I liked a top-down camera angle.

I dropped the Folly into the background and positioned Victoria by the fountain.

I added some lights, repositioned the camera...

Not bad, but it needs more. I want a background in this one, so away with the top-down camera angle. I added in some grounds...

...as well as some sky. I repositioned Victoria, tweaked my depth of field, and rendered it out.

OK, that’s starting to look like something. I’m really liking those Fab Faces for Genesis 2. She looks very unique.

As good as that looks, it needs more. She needs a sword.

Much better!

I changed the sky to a sunset. (Or is it a sunrise?)

I then gave that a final render. That looks really good.

I then took it into Pixelmator for some post work. Very nice. Victoria, by the fountain.
