Fun, Sun and a Smoking Gun
3D Render by slofkoskyThe murderer was most likely still somewhere on the resort world, trapped by the rapid lockdown.
John had marked the weapon, identified all of the shell casings and sealed off half the pool deck before beginning his search of the water.
Madeline tore through the tape and claimed the last available lounger.
“This is an active crime scene" John said.
“It is an unnecessarily large crime scene."
“Madeline."
“John."
He looked at the torn tape still flapping in the breeze from her hand.
She settled deeper into the chair and flashed a smile. “You investigate your half. I’ll keep an eye on this one."
Notes:--------------
John Forester and Madeline Price are the lead characters from my forthcoming science fiction mystery novel, Space Crimes. The scene was created and rendered in Daz Studio with final color and detail adjustments completed in Affinity and Snapseed.

Sat, Aug 01I'll try to find the time! I know this is totally random, but I can't stop thinking about my “asphaltobsession.
I think I'm going to do a long series on how they appear... but that means I'll have to give them more substance, and a hierarchie
(I'm creating 3D models of road sections at actual size... I’d also like to add micro-details and start creating images that are really polished… with details that fill the screen, just like your meticulous work)
I can totally combine the two since my surrealist obsession goes with anything
and so cool to see the progress on “Space Crime

Sat, Aug 08Your asphalt obsession is awesome! Very unique and it spawned very unique imagery. Yes, a long series would be awesome my friend and the "creating 3D models of road sections at actual size" sounds very very intriguing.
Can't wait!
Can't wait!
Oh my gosh, it is so AWESOME to see our old friends Madeline and John! I've missed them. Do you have an ETA for the Space Crimes book? I'm looking forward to reading that. I love seeing these two in a new setting. This is fabulous. Good luck in the contest, my sweet friend <3

John, thoroughly fed up with Madeline, decided to let the sun handle the disciplinary action.
By tomorrow, every step should come with a reminder.
