I've wanted to make an image like this for some time...
The results... well... they're not terrible, but not too great...
I'm kinda happy with it, all in all, but not overly pleased (I think the reflection works well, if nothing else...)
'Quint' is rendered as an out-of-the-box cutout of Poser's 'Ben' character, who, for shame, comes packaged with the software (I can barely customize an adult's face, as you can tell, and kids're harder...) The resulting kiddie is older than I'd like, but there's nothing I can do about it with my artistic limitations.
And, yes: Quint isn't supposed to throw a shadow, and yes: Justin's 'Aegis' sawn-off shouldn't be visible in the reflection, and, yes: the lettering on the Platonic Love should look better, but I layered it into the composition too early and couldn't go back and de-crapify it...
GODDAMNIT!: the logo on Justin's torso SHOULD be visible in the reflection, though. To hell with it: just assign whatever artistic and poetical ideals you want to it and forget that it's a product of laziness.
It's kinda chilly out today: I'd better bundle up in my sheepskin jacket...
aroooooooooooo!
