Ahh, freedom and adventure. Probably the most important things to have in life. Other than health.
They keep you sane and full of will to live.
I only have one of these. The second happens very rarely. But it does happen.
And this thought makes me happy.
Love? Love is overrated. And prevents freedom.
Also, a gift for me mom, that.
This is one of my older ideas. It's been around on my Casio Super Systemizer for about five years.

Ugh! For the first time ever, I had to resort to matte painting something!
I always try to avoid that, since I find it to be a bit of a cheat, considering the piece was supposed to be 3D.
But alas - I had serious problems with RAM usage here (heavily tessellated water, 1500 trees - each around 1200 polys, detailed character with several 4k textures [true, I could downsize the textures, but... I don't know why I didn't do that]).
Anyway, fancy a guessing game? What was painted on? 
Hey, nobody won! The only thing that was painted on, was the hair! And even not entirely, since I had a geometric hair object rendered, and just painted on it to make it look like actual hair.

Hello, I am super-late again. How is being elderly treating you? 
While some DOF might be nice, I think it would destroy the sense of this piece, as both the girl and the island are important, and shouldn't be blurred out.
I was thinking about maybe some more objects, but that would ruin the composition. Not to mention, I wouldn't know WHAT to add here.
Yeah, Imma just leave it as it is anyway, SO THAT IT IS A REMINDER OF HOW OFTEN I MAKE THINGS WRONG.
