False Hope
I've actually done several renders lately, and I haven't been posting them all here, because I didn't want to tilt the blog too heavily towards the rendering, nor did I want to incur all the bandwidth hit. (Ooooo yeah, baby, I've got like three people reading these...) Anyway, if you're interested in seeing all my stuff, check out my gallery on Renderosity. The tricky bit, though, is that they require us to flag anything with nudity, and you have to register to see any of them -- that whole "save the children" thing. Anyway, it's free registration, so you only have to give up your soul. (To be clear, I'm not associated with Renderosity. It's a large computer graphics site, and I am merely one of its thousands upon thousands of members.)
Anyway, enough with the preamble. Here's an image I did recently called "False Hope", where the first commenter in my gallery said, "Normally, Poser pictures with women being tortured are misogynistic and ill conceived, but this one works really well..."
Of course, the reviewer then went on to say, "It tells a story and really conveys a feeling of dread without being sick and twisted. Everything is suggested and not overtly stated." Which is pretty much what I was trying to get across.
The title comes from the thought that such a prisoner would hear the footsteps above and perhaps wonder if it were a rescue or just another jailer come to inflict another beating. I was hoping to capture that emotional transition as she recoils from what she'd hoped was rescue but suddenly realizes is torture.
