Title: Where Are The Clowns?
Artist: UnifiedBrain
WIP Links: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/7451206/#Comment_7451206
Comments: A dramatic actress who has lived her life from affair to affair, reflects on the cruel irony of now being rejected by a man who, years earlier, had asked her to marry him. "Clowns" is a theatrical reference to the comic act you send in when the show isn't going well.
The title is from the first stanza of 'Send In The Clowns" by Stephen Sondheim.
The actress is Genesis 3. The hat and cigar are from the old Cuore de Moda outfit for V4. Several GMIC filters were used to get the NPR effect, including basic color adjustments, and small amounts of Poster Edges and Artistic Painting. The smoke was a random smoke png I found on the internet, and was inserted into the scene via a plane.
No postwork.

Comments: A Clownfish quest. :)
Bozo is M3. Other products were new to me in this Challenge. The clownfish and vegetation are from Ocean Wonders, discussed previously. The diving suit and hat, (both heavily retextured) and bubbles are from Deepsea Diver at Rendo. The helmet globe is a Carrara primitive sphere modified by using Sparrowhawk's Edge Falloff shader.
No postwork.

Title: Cirque Du Sauvage (Circus of the Untamed)
Artist: UnifiedBrain
WIP Links: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/7530991/#Comment_7530991
Comments: Diomede pointed out recent news - Ringling Bros is restarting their famous circus, but without animals. This is what happened to the animals. :)
G3F and the Daz Big Cat are the main characters. Various other Daz critters should be easy to recognize, supplemented by a couple of OBJ's and a Philemo cutout. Carrara hair is Modacuts.
Plants mostly came from Forest Primevil, and Jungle Hideaway.
Lighting is done with Carrara light cone, lens flare, and custom light gels that I made myself. A Carrara cloud and GMIC also used.
No postwork, but there was some prework such as face painting G3F.
