Really nice work, love that high-resolution render, beautiful pose, very good look overall. The Studio lighting is fine, the side-on pose gives us a good 'read' on her silhouette, and her outfit is excellent and on-model (sans the skirt).

I am unsure of how much credit to give you for the execution of her figure and clothing, as you do not say if this is a rip from the game's files, or a re-creation by you or some third party. I see that you've listed DazStudio in the tags, so I'm going to assume you actually dialed-in 2B from one of the female figures yourself, and that her outfit is something you pieced together from existing clothing for whichever figure was used. I also note that her hose in the game are skin-tight (likely a texture rather than separate polygons) and the hose here is standard DazStudio conforming clothing, 'floating' a half-inch over the skin, which makes me think you actually built the outfit, rather than ripping it.

In any case, the clothing is very good, as is her hair and face. I've been studying screenshots while writing this, and can find nothing 'wrong' with her figure, hair, or face, it's all very on-model and looks great. As for her outfit, I have only the most frivolous nit-pick... the textures and materials.

I quite like how you've addressed her missing skirt, with the white 'leotard' bottom coming off her normal bodice, I don't know if that's your own design or something from the game, but I do not find it in the two dozen screenshots I've studied. In all, the only 'problems' I see with her clothing (assuming you are going for an exact copy of her outfit) is that her boots are shiny leather in the screenshots, and her her top is either softer, but still moderately shiny leather, or moderately shiny heavy cloth. Your version has both top and boots quite dull, with extremely diffuse specularity, very much like soft/fuzzy cloth.

The one thing I'm seeing that 'pulls me out' of the image is that the texture maps (hair and outfit, not her skin) are extremely low resolution, even lower than in the (pre-rendered cut scenes?) I'm looking at screenshots of. I don't know why that is, but it really destroys the illusion of realism when viewed at full-size... or even 'normal' dA size.

The texture maps are just too small to do justice to the details present in the outfit, and look chunky and pixelated in the extreme. I love that her boots are muddy... I just don't love that the textures are 'muddy'.

The thing I actually like best is her pose. She's got an amazing figure, and the way you've posed her she knows it. The lack of a skirt naturally brings attention to her hips and posterior, and the framing/covering of that area by her hands adds quite a lot of both visual and prurient interest to that section of her body. I find myself both admiring her gloves and wishing she'd move her darn hands so I can really see that bottom!

In any event, this is a fine image, and a lovely piece of art. I very much hope to see you continue with this 'test', as a Work in Progress this render shows incredible potential, and I'd love to see her with tweaked shaders and higher resolution textures.

Vision: 4 stars... if "a sexy studio render of 2B" was your vision/goal, you are well on your way to achieving it, with a little more detail the vision will be perfect.

Originality: 2 1/2 stars. I'm truly sorry, but "a sexy studio render of 2B" is almost the least original thing you could possibly do with this character (the number one least original thing you could do with 2B is "a sexy fight scene"... literally the entire game).

Technique: 4 stars. Almost perfect visually, the only glaring technical issue is her low resolution textures/materials. Those too-loose hose are not perfect, but don't cost you anything here, as it's just how DazStudio works.

Impact: 4 1/2 stars. It's a visually arresting image with nice lighting and a killer pose. Even the bright pink studio backdrop is a great contrast with her outfit and skin. I'm still wishing she'd move her hands, and I'd love to see a more detailed version of this image, which means you're doing it right!

Thanks for sharing this test render with us, and I do hope my critique was both fair and useful!

Can u do a version of this render, but without the black shirt? You don't have to leave her breasts bare if you don't want to.

Really nice! I love that you gave us a very high-resolution image here. I sent you a critique, I hope it helps!
