The unfortunate by Zethus

luckyshot: Congratulations on placing in the Emptiness contest.

allisontaylor: Definitely a solitary empty mood. Yet the lighting and shadows do invite the viewer to be included.. Excellent thought provoking glimpse into the scene.

purmusic: Nice one, John.

Her mouth (area) is a tad more prominent. Curious if by design, creative aim?

And the additional texturing is exquisite. The final image is very polished.


And but of course, thank you for sharing this thought provoking piece with us.


p.s. Any use of displacement maps?

Looks to be, and if not and for your creative future consideration.. here you go, in case unawares:

Loads of other tutorials out there as well, the above one is quite succinct and concise.
