And finally, and update on my room.



Here are a couple of close up of my spirit girl. One is with final gather and the other one is with no final gather.
The one without it looks better!



So here is my female spirit with her new texture. I use mental ray and then I added a direct red light to make her look more orange.

This illustration will give you a better understanding of how I want my heaven to look like as well as how my main characters will interact with the spirits.

So here is another detail study of Juliana's messy room

Here is a new render as well as a couple of texture maps for the room. It's feeling a bit "Peter Pan" like, but I think is getting much closer to what I have in mind. I like the painting effect the feeling that is getting!

So as you know, the mayority of my story is going to take place in my character's room and therefore her feelings of sadness should be transmited to the audience by looking at her suroondings. Here is a detail study of her night table.
