White Russian – giclee print

462 Views 11 Votes 27 Comments

I just can’t get enough of scantily clad Russian girls wearing astrakhans or ushankas. Now that I have Alessandro Mastronardi’s most excellent Look At My Hair plugin, I can finally render realistic looking fur! Sure, the processor hit is quite expensive but when you see the end result you know where all those extra cycles went…

So in the process of mastering this powerful new resource, I am going to be doing many underdressed Russian chicks before moving on to the animal kingdom; please look forward to it!

#1 release version

Some of you might recognize her from the billboard that I did some time ago, less the copy and I've since added some postwork. The fur on her ushanka really turned out well if I do say so myself

The original version was all cold but I've introduced a red bloom to indicate that she's a soviet. This is an 80s nostalgia piece, and I'm going to do a whole cold war series

#3 rim light

Generally a three point rig is all you need to light a scene. What does that mean? Basically, you have a key light, a fill light and a rim light. In this case I've only rendered the rim light and it sorta looks fine as-is...

  2. The last 2 feels like she is in a resident evil game…very convincingly with this level of skill…

  4. A white russian is a kind of drink, but I’ve done a Tzarist which is a literal interpretation but quite abstract because there isn’t a one to one correspondence…

  10. I really like all posted versions as well. Great job. Wish I could spend time in a computer working, unfortunately I can’t. Fortunately, for those that can, well they get an upvote. ?
