Bruising and Texture Practice
3D Render by thehermitcreativeThis is a portrait I did awhile back where I was trying to combine a wound (the staples on her nose) I got on Renderosity with bruising on the eyes and also getting a more raised effect from the tears. I initially did the image with just the tears and the staples on the nose because I didn't have the morphs to add swelling and brusing. Then I found this package by janey. I used the package to add more bruising and swelling to the nose and eye. I did that. And then added more bruising and swelling to the left side of her face and lips. I tried to not have the bruising on the right side of her face to represent the wounds that are hidden from sight. The emotional wounds.
With the first draft of this image (in slot #2), I didn't have much of an emotional reaction to it. I was just concentrating on the texture. But as I added the bruising and swelling on this image I did have more emotions about this one. She started to look like some of the women I had worked with who had been badly wounded inside and out. Her eyes seemed sadder this time.
The part that impacts my heart the most is how so many of these women (and men) suffer in silence alone. How nobody believes them. How often they are told that it is their fault by the people who should be protecting them. How their family and friends ignore the signs.
Anyways, I think the bruising and swelling makes this version look more realistic. I know she's not real, but the story she tells is for thousands of women (and men).
Thank you for stopping by and have a blessed day.

Sat, Dec 20, 2025Thank you so much. Yes, after I finished it I realized how hard creating had been for me because it did remind me of our clients.

Mon, Dec 22, 2025Unfortunately, you are correct sometimes that is true. I had a hard time creating this because of it beginning to look too much like the women I worked with, but I think it makes people think and maybe listen.
Cool! This reminds me of Jake Paul after his fight.

Mon, Dec 22, 2025The morphs would also be great for fighters. I'm not sure who Jake Paul is, but I hope he healed up alright!
I love the passion you're putting into your work. Well done. Some renders really get inside your head. Me to.

This one was always hard to "like" because of the nature of the piece.

Fri, Apr 24I totally get that, Tom. (I did it! Called you Tom instead of Thomas ) I never mean to create these kind of pieces. They kind of just get pushed out of my heart. It's like I can't hold them in any more. So, I create them. I'm sure that sounds weird.

It's a creation that manages to convey empathy for women; congratulations on this great work!

Mon, May 11Thank you very much. Sadly it happens to both men and women. The men it happens to often get ignored because the percentage of women it happens to.
You did a great job of the swollen nose in the first image really realistic.

Mon, May 11Thank you very much. The product by Janey is really good. I couldn't have done it without those morphs to dial and tweak.
