Post Widow's Walk

Coastal houses used to be built with a small railed observation platform called a Widow's Walk where they could scout for seamen.

This image was a first for me in a few different areas. It was the first time I painted sky rather using than an alpha fog. I really had to force myself to use lighter lights and darker darks than my eye thought I needed to get the right effect.
I also tried using sweep profiles for all the clothing on this one. Made modelling them a breeze compared to shaping a sphere.
The biggest first for me was the ocean. My previous attempts at water have been interesting looking. A special thanks to DeeVee for his Seawater Script. It made water making so easy and realistic, thanks.

Wonderful work, Tami, and a perfect mood...
I come originally from the East Coast, Nova Scotia to be exact, and they have both Widows' Walks, and just those kind of skies there. And you also did a perfect sea!

This one is so brooding and full of feeling.
You captured much more than a zbrush image.
Great work!!

Tag, thanks for sharing this image. I think it is an excellent image, very well done. It reminds me a little of SC's image on the three ladies.
I really like this image a lot, I must say it is the best use of the Script I have seen to date without doubt.

Beautiful composition that perfectly captures the sad explanation of the title. Excellent work.
