Ordinary Day

Another submission for the *100ThemesChallenge; this is number 37, Day. That's my character Vanya. I may put her up for download on my stock account (~kiarajoy-stock), later, along with part of this scene. This is kinda what I would imagine my private little spot to be - open to the weather, but shady, a couple of candles for when it starts to get dark, and a few pillows, with trees and flowers and lush grass, and birds and butterflies flying around. The only thing that's missing is I'd have a little fountain, or a pond with a waterfall nearby so I could listen to running water. Or who knows? Maybe I'd have both.

I had two personal challenges for this one: one, do as little postwork as possible in regards to textures/actions/etc. etc.; two, make a happy picture. It seems like all my pictures lately have been kinda sad in some way. :\ For a better picture of Vanya, click here.

Render Time: One hour and eleven minutes at 3500x2334.
Postwork: Three hours and thirty-six minutes.

*100ThemesChallenge has my permission to post this in the club's gallery.

"Just a dream, just an ordinary dream as I wake in bed
And that boy, that ordinary boy, was it all in my head?
Didn't he ask if I would come along?
It all seemed so real."
