October 2015 Commission: Now how do I get unstuck...

Yeah, I kinda feel bad about that, really. XD And yeah, I think I'll make a post that describes the trick in more detail, but for now - yes, the sharp backlight on her face and belly is among the things that would've been impossible without a normal pass! SO GOOD ;v; Oh, and I'll post the 'flat' version here too. ^.^

Bump mapping (or normal mapping, actually) is something that I always use, but you're pretty close! Yes, it's something that makes details more apparent, and precisely where I want them at that! SWEET

Many thanks! :D And the new trick is explained a bit at dA. Basically something that lets me emphasize the scene details via faked lighting, with FULL control (which is not the case with regular lighting). Maybe I will make a post here that explains it in detail!

Oh, c'mon. Could you please slow down a bit? XD I'm glad you're enjoying this, but, you know. ^~^

The hd picture shows a whole lot of detail much better than dA's upload. I can see all the details of the book now. I like the stomach ripples. So I'm happy to see JinJing-Yu's got some plumpness to her stomach. Is there a way you can explain more about the way you accomplished this lighting (not a tutorial, unless you wana)? You're talking about a normal pass on dA. This isn't the first time I've heard of it. But what did the picture look like without it to get an example? Did the normal pass give you that yellow rim light around her face and belly?

I'm seeing a bit more detail, bump mapping?

Haha... very nice! The lighting looks gorgeous - I'm not sure what the new trick was, but the end result is wonderful. And yeah, that would certainly be a difficult pose to render (or actually do) - no wonder she's stuck! Her expression is what really sells it though. Amazing work Tchai.

Oooohhh so sexy! <3 I'd so snack on her naughty bits while shes stuck like that :P
