    Well, here she is!

    I was really nervous about doing this, only because I am a HHHUUUUUGGGEEEE fan of Tetsuko (and Dave, of course :-)), and I wanted to do a tribute, and not something to make everyone go "eewwwwww"….

    I *think* I succeeded.  The hardest part was duplicating her hair.  I had to do a lot of postwork, but I think it's at least OK … not great, but OK….  😐

    THANK YOU to Dave for permission to do this work, and for his feedback during the process.  He accepted a couple of WIP renders, and gave GREAT feedback that ultimately improved the shot 1000%.

    Here she is, in all her topless glory 😀

    Fascinating approach.  If I were Dave I'd be impressed.  Heck, I'm impressed anyway!  The hair came out well.  More important, I thought the fluidity of the action worked.  Thanks for sharing.

    Oh man, I'm gonna sound like such a fanboy…. 😳

    You have no idea what it means to have you say that … An honor, for sure … I'm not getting too big-headed :-), and I know I have *much* yet to learn, but it is nice to have you say that ….

    Thanks!

    Given that people give poser a bad rap for creating samey things, this does a remarkable job of capturing Tets' likeness.

    Wonderful facial likeness. How'd you do that?
    Also, the rest of her ain't bad either.
    Well done.

    Fred,

    Actually, since there's so much source material :-), it was easy to make a good face.  The Aiko model for DAZ|Studio has an "Anime" head morph, and many other face-changing morphs.  It was actually quite easy to match her up, since Dave's style is Anime-like (for Tetsuko, anyway).  The hard part was painting the hair :-(.  I started off with some DAZ hair to get the general idea, then painted over it.  Of course, I just today got some hair-painting brushes for the GIMP, so it would have come out better if I had those a few days ago :-(.  Ah well, it's not too bad… Next time! 🙂
