GLBCat in the Moonlight (CLOSED)

This one was really hard for something that turned out looking so simple. There is NO post work done here, except to add my signature. The moon reflections in the cat's eyes were very difficult to arrange (involving placing a moon in exactly the right place), and the soft "moonlight" is actually a bunch of different lights working together. The cat's fur and whiskers have been HEAVILY customized to show the light better. All in all, I'm proud of this. It took me about a week to make, but I feel like I learned a lot about lighting with it

Good concept with the reflecting, in the shape of a crescent moon, on the pupil of the eye. It looks like you've achieved the desired effect with this work. Although black cats are thought to bring bad luck, pardon me to say it may bring you good luck , this time for a change. Best wishes with your entry (starry magical background also adds up to the mystique) .
Info:
''For centuries, many have believed that when a moon is worn it will bring you magical dreams. Specifically, a crescent moon was known to symbolize intuitiveness, psyche and empowerment. Crescent moons are often worn to bring luck and wealth. In some cultures, they're believed to be a protection against negativity; in Japan, for example, dangling them from the rearview mirrors of cars is thought to keep away evil spirits from your space''.

Fri, Apr 19, 2024Thank you very much! Yes, it took a while, but I was finally able to get the render to look like the picture in my head, lol! That's cool information about the moon, I didn't know about all that.

Fri, Apr 19, 2024You're welcome. Good hopes with your exquisite work once again.
Animals are really difficult to get right, but your cat looks awesome.
Did you make it from scratch?

Fri, Apr 19, 2024Thank you! No, I didn't make it, unfortunately I'm not any good at modeling. They are purchased products arranged in Daz Studio. There is a lot of customization here though. I completely reworked the shaders on the fur and whiskers, it took me days to get it just right. I also did the lighting myself, which is the hardest part for me. I used primitives for the moon, and worked heavily on that shader as well. So while I didn't create the models, I did do a lot of work to make this finished render!
