Posette has been complaining that while we''re getting good shots of her from medium distances, her close-ups have been less than satisfactory, so we went into the studio and practiced.
Rendered in Poser 4 with postwork in Paint Shop Pro 6 (fixed stray pixels, repainted a little on the edge of the bottom lip, enhanced contrast, desaturated colors).
As I am striving to improve my skill levels, constructive criticism is welcomed about any aspect of this image.
Over the long term I think I need to work on rendering close-ups better, as I am temporarily satisfied with where I''m at when the camera is far enough away from Posette to get a view of her whole body. As I was thinking last week about how to make better close-ups, I thought a good place to start would be a better bump map for P4 Woman than the ''Ultramorph 2'' map I have been using in the past. I made a brand new bump map from scratch (tedious, but worth it I think) that I will share with everyone here once I have tested it a bit more. This is my first image using it.
