It''s summertime and the Posettes wanted to go to the beach. Never let it be said that I am one to deny beautiful women the opportunity to frolic under the sun in bikinis.
Rendered in Poser 4 with post-work in Paint Shop Pro 6 (fixed stray pixels, enhanced contrast and color saturation).
As I am striving to improve my skill levels, constructive criticism is welcomed about any aspect of this image.
This was a spur-of-the-moment image, inspired by a recent picture by Whazizname where he said he was going to make a study of BBW type models. When I saw his picture I immediately thought of the free ''Charisse'' character by Catherine Todd, which I think is probably the best character of the ''super-sized'' type for Poser 4 woman I''ve ever come across. Charisse is on the right in this image, only slightly modified by me from her original form--I fixed an unnatural crease in her belly, greatly reduced her bustline from its original epic proportions, and put a few quick morphs on her face. On the left is a default-sized Posette for comparison. I guess it''s obvious that I haven''t worked a lot with Charisse, as her face morphs are not nearly as advanced as the Posette on the left, but hopefully she still looks pretty.
I made a cursory Google search and didn''t see anywhere to still get Charisse (my .cr2 is dated August 2000, so I guess she''s probably forgotten about by everyone but me) but it looks like the creator is still active on the ''big sites'' so maybe you could track them down and ask them to send you Charisse if you like her.

Very lovely beach scene!
I really like the compositing of 2D & 3D elements; good job!
It is good to see a "curvy" Posette! I'll have to look for that morph.
