Description Oh, she was waiting. Naru had waited since she was a child, yet, not so little anymore, Naru waited still. No, she was not a child, not a woman either. But even in her youth, she had known the bitterness of a lifetime.

But it was beyond stupid to even hope. Here in one of the overcrowded cities where she has started her new life, where an underaged girl living alone was overseen all too easy, waiting was pointless. And here she was, forever changed, a new life in a new town, filled with the longing she had known ever since childhood.

Life was pretending now, pretending to not care and she was good at it most of the times. However she could not stop to let her gaze wander through the early streets every morning, trying desperatly to catch a glimpse of blonde hair, or a shade of red among the grey. Yes, little, not so little Naru was still waiting and maybe she would forever.

It took ages. Alone the texturing has cost me days and days or in my case more nights and night. But I really wanted to make everything fit, right from the books she is reading (manga) to the more youthfull design of the pot and the radio display with her favorite music. I had the little bg story in mind for a long time and I am happy to have finally made this pic.

character face, movement in ZBrush
textures Photoshop
render time: 9 hours over network
music: ToDieFor

I love how "messy" this one is and yet it all fits perfectly and can't live one without other... I can see how hard this was to create cause i am a bit in 3D art as well and takes me days to create simple render cause i also as you use more programs as maya, zbrush, daz etc to make my characters and scenes in general ^^. This is just perfect render tho. Gratz!

You started to work with Zbrush too now?
The quality of the render is simply amazing: it's my eyes that are failing me or is not poser at all the render engine?

Thank you, I started some time ago but with my tight work shedule I only make slow progresses, used it for character creation and morphs, so far the only real model good enough to show is the strange hair jewel stuff in "Eden and I" and some minor jewelery. Nothing great, I know.
Thanks, your eyes are fine but I like to keep my secrets
