This is the second image from my collaboration with Enchanted Designs' Katie Kaufman, the talented costumer and model I had the privilege of working with on this series. In this second image, I wanted to see if we could convincingly have our subject interacting with the environment a bit - in this case the chair.
Overall I'm pretty pretty well pleased with where we landed on these images. We have another in the queue, but I'm building a different 3D environment for that one, an airship!
Environment was modeled in Blender (2.69) and rendered in Cycles. Compositing done in Photoshop. Additional modeling by Paul Kotelevets, user 1Dinc on blendswap (baroque furniture).
