This is an alternate version of my “Way of the Sword” image. I say alternate because I did the other one first, but the truth is, this is more the image I had in my minds eye when I created the other one. For the original image I didn’t want to take the time to deal with the dress…

I actually made this dress a couple years ago for the “Miss Renderosity 2014” contest’s round 2. I did alter the dress for this  image, I cut a slit in it, otherwise it’s pretty much just been collecting digital dust all this time.

Around the same time as that contest, I did do an experimental animation with soft body and cloth dynamics where I used this dress. I just haven’t finished rendering it yet, LOL!!! Now that I’ve opened the file back up, I’m thinking about finishing rendering it out and uploading it. It just takes over an hour a second to render and the animation is 71 seconds long… I’m a little concerned how much my electric bill would be… I need to set up a hydroelectric system…
