Hey man thanks for all that.
To be honest, I am not worried about the ‘beer or pee’ thing, for a couple reasons,
1 - she’s holding pee? Does that make any sense?
2 - Since when is pee that color? In a cartoon, maybe?
3 - There are no other indications in the image to say that it would be something so juvenile.
I’ve posted it a few places and got the ‘pee’ reaction twice, and neither time did it come up in a natural way, but more a forced potty humor way that I am more keen to ignore than anything else.
I almost never go out of my way to airbrush people or things, or make them ‘hyper-real’. Life is not a product ad, and I don’t think in CG that we should always treat things like they must look perfectly sterotypical. It’s a half drank beer. It has no condensation on the outside, it doesn’t have a huge mound of foam on the top. It could maybe use some foam on the sides of the glass.
Not saying you’re wrong, just my thinking.
