Thank you for the comments, good sir! And in reverse order:
I've been lurking here a couple of weeks now, plowing my way through the past posts in an effort to get a feel for the place and it's people. Have to say I'm getting a strong sense of fun and community here, so I'll be around often.
I like the expression too -- I did it about 3 years ago in a forlorn early stab at a
Poser render. I would have posted the original but all I can see in it now are the mistakes. I'd re-render it but for the life of me I can't find the original!
(They say backing up is great... but do they ever mentioning INDEXING the furshlugginer discs...?)
As for the ducks... It could've been worse - I'm still toying with the idea of a series of these featuring "holiday spots of the world". The first version I tried yesterday had Mt. Rushmore in the background.
(Gotta find a way to use all these photos snarfed from the net somehow...)
Oh, for the record:
Top is swimsuit by Ghastely, Skirt is PhilC's elvgrenskirt (mmm... Elvgren - now THERE was a pinup-artist!), the belt is Viomar's Vicky freebie adjusted with difficulty (is it me or is the Vickster packing on the weight these days?), Hair by Kozaburo (all hail the master...) Skin is the awesome Vickybuster by Snowsultan.
