Patriot - WIP - Virily

This piece is inspired by propaganda art circa 1940-1950 but that is all I am going say about that, so as to avoid offending anybody else’s politics…

I might add that while her uniform may resemble one country’s or another’s, it does not belong to any nation or army. Any similarities to an existing uniform are purely coincidental.

#1 work in progress

This was the test render which was pretty much good from the start. I did tweak a few things but if you aren't really paying attention you might not even notice the difference in the final

Nice long pig tails. That’s what we always called them.

  I thought two unbraided bits were pigtails and a single was a ponytail….

    Braided or not we call them pigtails.

What a fun look she has.

#2 rough sketch

It looks like something a patriotic boy might scribble in his composition book

I love her pigtails…

I really like the look and feel of this technique, but it really doesn't suit the theme of this piece. Rest assured that you'll be seeing it again in a more proper venue...

I like the textures in this one.

  It is a deluxe format, it just doesn’t suit the subject matter…

I like them all. She’s a beautiful & inspirational comrade and while you post her without national affiliation the spirit is clearly antifascist.

  I knew I could count on you to get it. I am concerned that some might miss that, it might be too subtle…

I like this variation a lot, I’m looking forward to seeing what you apply the treatment to.

Thanks! It took me a while to really understand this new engine, but it seems like I have a handle on it now…

  Agree. It seems you are getting more powerful in using it.

    It is a great engine, but the settings are quite fussy

How kind of you to say…

I think she looks like she is serious about where she is going. One of my favorites!

Alex Ledante says:

She’s going to a brighter future. Or so they’d have you believe…

I am pleased with my results so far

The final version has softer lighting and god rays

Nice work Alex, I like this one. More of an innocent look.

Tough to pull off, but quite rewarding. I think I know the trick to it now…
