First Snow (CLOSED)

Is this render related to your first Snow Fairy render or a separate story?
Maybe they're looking at the lady in your first render.
It would've been a good follow up though =)
Did you try using similar light setting as your previous post. This might be as bright like your first render.
Good work and a Happy New Year.

Mon, Dec 25, 2023Thanks mate.
Don't really have a full story but more an idea of a prelude of a tragic love story before the female lead turns into a snow fairy.
Going for a different feel with the lighting so it is more on the dimmer side.
You think brighter is better?
Wishing you a fruitful new year ahead!

I think I understand what is causing that darker look.
Since you made a square focused (for the main subjects in this case the boy and the girl) cropped cutout for the thumbnail, that light on the porch was left out including a portion of the sky. Your main picture has both that yellow light on the porch and the sky and this makes your scene look much more brighter than your thumbnail. Looking at the preview thumbnail, you first get the impression that the whole scene is darker but it may not be the case as I have mentioned. You may say that the scene is night time and therefore I don't need much brightness or light, that may be the case. But again you can at least include a light emitting object close to the faces of two figures at least to bring up the detail and expressions on their faces at night , thinking the thumbnail.
I tried to balance your thumbnail picture similar to your first post as follows. You can decide how this looks, as well. It might give you an idea.
Japanese writing on upper right corner was a good idea too. As Japanese traditional artists do this by including a title with their signature. I might be wrong =)
first snow (of season)
The first snow came before long.

Tue, Dec 26, 2023I did a "dusk" ver. and a "dawn" ver. Ended up using the dusk ver because of the "tragic" theme that was in the back of my mind.
Without the theme, the brighter ver does look better. Thank you for the pointers.
There is actually a poem with it but I can't find a nice font to go with the aesthetics so I just use the title.

Hoping you enjoy the New Year with even more happiness =)
