And the eyes of them both were opened…

For this project I used my Eve character created earlier this year and reworked her hair and shaders to fit the style I had in mind:

Blender 2.40 optimized + level/DOF post adjustments.

Thank you for viewing my work,

great image there Robert. Only thing i’d say is that Adam’s beard looks a bit unrealistic. It should blend into the skin a bit more, or have stubble around the edges. Would be hard to get right but hey:) Apart from the hair on the guy, thats a great image. You captured something good in his expression…what do i do?

Thanks so much for the feedback, greenlig.

I had some extra time this morning so I performed a number of refinements and updated the image in my top post. Render is also larger with higher samples (OSA/AO).

I have to say that like most of your images I have seen, this is physchedelic as well :).

Awesome work as always.
Why aren’t you participating?

Thanks Falgor :slight_smile:

new_neo, I do that voluntarily so others have a chance and be encouraged to compete in the WCs. I enjoy the challenge of random topics and the opportunity to create something new and different, so I mainly use the WCs to try to improve my Blender skills.
