Anceata and her brother enjoy an evening stroll astride their trusty (and fuzzy) Fjord horse!
==AMY’S NOTES==
Here’s another scene with a re-used backdrop and new characters. I first used this backdrop in Moonlight Sleigh Ride, which featured Fehn and Vila in a sleigh under a cozy blanket (and the HWHorse Shetland Pony, before I figured out how to make a fuzzy Fjord!)
Sometimes when I have an idea for a scene, like this one, I get distracted by the fact that I don’t have all the elements I need. In this case, I didn’t have winter clothing for Anceata and Semil, so I thought about modeling some. But then I recalled all the rabbit holes I’d probably end up going down in the process and managed to convince myself to just use some custom second skins instead, to give them the appearance of wearing clothes suited to snowy weather! Sometimes simpler is better 🙂 (Not to say I won’t one day model them some sweaters and leggings, but right now I want to focus on re-engaging with what I love about producing renders!)
Rendered in February 2022 using Firefly in Poser Pro 11 for Mac at 3200 × 1800 pixels. Art effects applied in Painnt for Mac.
