Staying In

This is my entry to the current contest for Poser users called “Let’s Stay In”. The theme of the contest is the current quarantine and what we’re doing while we shelter in place. The only requirement is that we use one of the free interior sets provided by the contest which I used in this artwork (GCD Interiors: Design 45). In addition to creating art and working on my art projects, I’ve been playing some video games including my beloved Mass Effect series. I decided to have Myla play video games in a room that is almost as cluttered and messy as mine in real life as my concept for the contest. LOL The Mass Effect scene on the TV is actually my artwork Going to Need Bigger Guns rather than a screenshot from the actual game. Wish me luck! I’ll update this post once the winners are announced to let you know if I placed or not.

EDIT: I WON FIRST PLACE IN THE CONTEST!!!!

The shirt of the girl is dynamic cloth and I tried to calculate it in a way that made it look like the Goffin was clutching her shirt. It worked! I also used Poser’s morph tools to further manipulate the shirt and smooth it out after calculating the dynamic cloth in the Cloth Room. I rendered the scene in Superfly with depth of field. I did very little in postwork. I fixed a few little render errors on the Goffin with the heal brush in Photoshop and then played with the colors and contrast of the image using adjustment layers.
