What started out as a quickie SFM poster. Turned into a marathon of course-corrections, obsessing over details, getting distracted by more tutorials,etc...



Originally, I intended to make a simple romantic poster of Scout & Femscout laying down on the grass in ctf_sawmill, gazing at each other. But no matter how I setup the light, the rainy environment just didn't cut it. So I switched to another map with grass & sunlight. Result? It looked weird! They were laying down on "flat" pixel-grass. But then I found " Poseable Grass" made by Lugia and the result made a real difference to the scene. But it was tedious work getting the grass to "wrap" around Scout, Femscout, and their "accessories".



Anyways, it was proof that persistence pays off....



It was based off a photograph I took in photography class back when I was a freshman in college.



I'm fully open for critique...
