Undine

Oh boy, this is one of my favorites yet. As part of an unrelated project, I had to learn how to use RealFlow, a program specially made for water simulation. In the course of screwing around with it, I decided to use this old pose I had laying around to create something a little more abstract than my usual fare.

Typically, all my pictures are pretty grounded in reality, something that I strive for. I prefer artwork that you could see happening in the real world; let's me gauge my skills at reproducing that world a little better.

So anyway, we have the lovely Liara, striking a pose with some water falling around her. The name, Undine, refers to "elementals, enumerated as the water elementals in works of alchemy by Paracelsus." - Wikipedia

I really love how that program creates the geometry, makes it easily manipulated in 3ds later on. It's kind of a bear to learn to use, but once you do, it's pretty simple, so you can be assured that more artwork with interactive water is on the way.

Enjoy!
