DON'T GO TO CHURCH TODAY
This could be fancier, but it's also already running late for what it is.
• DON'T GO TO CHURCH TODAY •
There's nothing really magical or sacred about it. This is an arbitrary day on the calendar: The Sunday after a full moon after the equinox. Let it go this year. Please.

Skinny ladies in jeans and bare arms—Is that a glacier? Nah.
I can almost write, but I'm not getting a comic out of this yet. So another variation on the previous shot for now.
( 948 * 1672 )
I was not really happy with the overall shot as rendered. I like the reflections. I considered posting a crop just of legs and reflections. But I had the idea to run Photoshop filters over it and make it an "illustration." I think it worked out.
Um.
Jenny Everywhere's butt is available for portrayal by any artist. But any publication involving Jenny Everywhere's butt must include the licence for Jenny Everywhere or the licence for her butt, in order that other artists may include Jenny Everywhere's butt as they wish. All rights reversed.

And of course Teresa covers her face as I take the shot.
Ironically, I think I got nothing posted for Tuesday (until now) because I wasn't sleeping enough. Anyway, I did do some work. I thought I'd spend a week on a character; I decided on Jenny Everywhere after using her for Monday's daily render. But what is she going to do? Well, so far she's just standing around.

In the eye of a flexy tomato
So, a couple of days ago, I posted this thing: Like a flexy tomato (I dare say a slightly inferior version of one of today's images, although I do like it.)
I had completely forgot to check if Creedence's hair was casting shadows. So today you get a new version, now framed with more visible reflections, because I like reflections.
Those are Teresa's ankles reflected way up in the corner. And here's more of her:
My paper-thin backgrounds, let me show you them! e_e

Like a flexy tomato
‘Am I really not going to produce a render today?’
…
'Oh, just do something quick.’
…
'OK, this is quick and silly. I think she should have more of a floor to stand on, though.’
…
'To bring in Teresa for the viewpoint? Walls? Lights? That was not so quick.’
…
'You can’t even see the background stuff I was worried about?!’

Sabe, esa negra guapa con el pelo corto...
I had open a file with Rosalea, and it’s been a while, and I was changing her hairstyle, and at one point, I thought, just how different are she and Teresa, physically? I mean, they’re kind of similar builds, both at least vaguely Afro-Hispanic, and I don’t think I’ve ever had them in the same scene, nor even thought about it.
OK, so. Huh. They don’t actually look alike, that’s good. But I was actually a little surprised at the specific ways in which they look different. As I said, it’s been a while.

Portrait of Teresa & Creedence in bikinis, No. 4
You know, maybe I should take weekends off. It’s good to have downtime. Granted, my problem lately is that I do renders at the last minute, but I could just not bother trying to post something every day and have something better when I do post. It’s good to have non-deadline days.
On the other hand, I still have angles of this scene I haven’t shot. I can keep digging into it and tweaking it. That’s something, right?

Portrait of Teresa & Creedence (No.3)
I may have re-imagined the background a bit, but this scene is more or less what I was trying to do on July 31, before I decided I had too many details to fix and I had to stop and just post a close shot.
Yesterday I went back, posed the arms properly & added some magnets to clothes in a few places. That set me up for a pretty good shot from another angle, posted yesterday.
Today I finally rendered an angle showing Teresa’s right hand. I like the shadows on this one. Also, today’s 2D background mashes up elements of the backgrounds I made for the previous two images of this scene.

Portrait of Teresa & Creedence
Early today I intended to finish the month of July with a comic strip. I have had some ideas for strips this month, just not a lot of will to actually work on them. In the end, today also ended up with no strip. So instead you get Creedence in her swim cap & Teresa in cornrows.

White tights and firelight, alternate angles
I took two more camera angles from yesterday's scene and mashed them together.

White tights and firelight
I was looking at the heights of some of my character designs today. Even I didn't realise how short I'd made Creedence! In the shots I've done before, Creedy's been in the foreground by herself, and she looks stretched out because she's so very skinny. She's about 8.5cm shorter than Teresa, which I could not have told you. Well, here we see them right together, finally. Granted, this is a pretty dark shot!
This took a while. I tried several renders I wasn't happy with, and finally created a new camera, switched from landscape to portrait, and redid the lights. I'm pretty happy with this now. Creedence's dress is supposed to be unusually shiny—almost metallic—just so you know. I hope that worked.

Teresa - face shot
This is an unused shot from yesterday.
I’ve been thinking for a while I should render several shots and keep them in reserve to have something ready to post—maybe a sort of buffer. I haven’t been doing it, though.

Teresa by the sea. Only 612*836, unlike the image with Ronnie two days ago.
South winds in winter, plus climate change
Sorry for not posting anything Wednesday. I started late, then decided to go ahead and make a strip, and ran later. I may add a bonus render later today.
I believe in a Kingdom come
After the U2 song "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," lyrics by Bono.
I was reading some blog posts about religion today, and this popped into my head.
