Finally getting back to rendering after all the holiday buying. I did this last night to try out some of my newest goodies. I'd made a comment about using Succubus Tara as an alien, and I wanted to try out Sylvia as well. That's how they ended up patrolling this isolated corridor on a random space station that's no doubt about to be invaded by something worse than a fantasy demon.
I don't think I've used strand based hair before, but it was in the Sylvia 9 character bundle. I was pleasantly surprised that it played so well with my aging, highstrung system (nicknamed HAL9000 2.0) The corridor proves that there is some use for all. Those. Halls & Rooms we get as Plus/Premier freebies - great to toss in a scene when your new virtual friends just need a place to be. Liquid Halo is one of my Golden Oldie faves & it autofitted really well to Sylvia & Tara, except the LH blasters & holsters kept ignoring the Parent in Place and Fit To.
Had a little time this holiday weekend to test some new stuff. I might have gone with a smidge less over-the-top presentation of the dress, but it appears the poses with this set pose the figure and the garment, and aside from deleting and re-loading the dress (which I'd already textured with Lully's Colors - definitely becoming a go-to favorite) it wasn't obvious to me how to un-pose the dress.
Lully's Colors ... again. Freebie, no longer available. Also used the earrings from the FK dfForce Charmed Soul set, but in this last version, I switched to a hair that covers her ears.
I used a lot of stuff I got in the holiday sale for this. You can see the full list of what was used in my gallery here (sorry for being lazy, I had to do this long list in my gallery twice .... long story).
Story:
Queen Ixchel stood on the edge of the hidden trail, her eyes scanning the dense foliage ahead. The sun high in the noon sky, casting shadows that danced with the whispers of the forest. Her warriors, a formidable force of skilled fighters, followed behind her. Queen Ixchel had led her warriors through the winding trail, their footsteps barely making a sound on the forest floor. The air was thick with anticipation, every rustle of a leaf or snap of twig heightened their senses. This trail was known only to the Amazons, a secret path that wound through the heart of their realm, leading to the secret tunnel to the outside world. The safety of their realm depended on the success of their mission to ensure the caves hidden entrance had not been compromised.
Comments
It's a really beautiful portrait and I like the use of blue
A portrait (technically a smart content's icon) using the Electric Bucket Bike and FK dForce Charmed Soul Jewelry Set Genesis 9, 8, and 8.1 Female. Other items in the gallery: 'Victoria 8.1 - Portrait on Bike' (a rather uninspired name, but I didn't really have a story on the back of my mind while creating the scene, outside of wanting a nice icon for Victoria's pose's freebie):

(OK, I'm cheating just a smidge as I bought Suuri Sali in the last moments of November.)
And Elor, your bike render is so cute I grabbed that bicycle!
"Tara & Sylvia In SPACE!" is my unoriginal title.

Had a little time this holiday weekend to test some new stuff.
