A Relaxing Float

I created this artwork for the Renderosity Swimsuit Contest happening right now. This is actually my second entry to the contest as we are allowed three. I had hoped to create three, but I ran out time. Seriously, I really got down to the wire with submitting this second one right before the deadline! I had a general idea of what I wanted for this artwork but then it kind of evolved into what you see here, bit by bit. I think I have about eight or nine different scene files of this artwork each with various changes to the same artwork scene. I’m just happy I got it finished and submitted in the nick of time! I can’t publish this artwork here on my gallery until after the contest so… you’ll see be seeing it then; or should I say now? Okay, I weirded myself out again.

The bikini is part of a new texture set I’m working on for Afrodite-Ohki’s Wrapkini and I hope to have it finished and released soon. I created my own Superfly materials for everything in the scene including the pool water. Figuring out the materials for the innertube was probably the most difficult part because I couldn’t remember exactly what one looked and felt like but once I found some reference photos, I was able to finally figure it out.

EDIT: I didn’t place in the contest but at least I tried.
