This is probably my first attempt at rain - Im fairly pleased with it
The model I used from a previous render - jsut did a bit of smoothing out you wouldnt notice from this view anyway
The forehead is a bit too forward on the face, perhaps pull it back a bit. The rain drops looks a bit too large imho, but I like the overall feel of the image, though I think a more meloncoly background would work better instead of just the purple.
Hippie: Ive never actually experimented with different shading methods other than the default one - so ill take that into concideration next time i do something
Khnum: sorry can you clarify as to what you mean by meloncoly? I should know this but I dont… lol
and people have different sized heads so why not have the forehead off a bit ?
but seriously- thx for the comment, I think I wont use this same model for anything else either way
