Description

… although they turned out translucent in the render.  A present for my friend, often depicted as a Macross Valkyrie pilot.  She’s also a real-life drummer, so her character is shown here in a band (which was earlier depicted here)
 
playing in a club on or near the air base.  She is cheered on or eyed curiously by various squadmates and base personnel. 
Begun 2 years earlier and aborted, just recently revamped and completed.

Poser, Photoshop; rendered in 3ds max.  Inspired by a photo, photographer unknown.

They are an incredibly tame audience for that type of band.  Are they in Japan?  From what I've heard, this would be accurate for Japan.  I love the light and composition.  It does look like a concert photo.  The hair came out especially well.  I think the drums are kind of awesome.

Ha, they are an eclectic trio (as the backstory goes) and would probably provoke a mixed reaction like that.  The photo reference I used had an audience that was similarly sedate but with some grinning onlookers.  It was an interesting challenge to compose, and I couldn't have done it without the photo ref.  And I wish that anisotropic specularity on hair would render like that in Poser.  Transparent drums are cool.  My friend said she's always wanted a set like that, and rarely sees any kind of clear drums in use.
