Description
Started this render at the beginning of February, was actually working on Efesto's biker portrait but then one thing led to another and he ended up at a bar chatting to this beautiful lady. And since I had a lot to work on in this scene it took a while, I even had to make my own coaster cause I couldn't find any, lol! And the lights in indoor/outdoor scenes are not easy at all. I hope I got it close enough, I wanted it to be later afternoon/dusk.
I am literally obsessed with this song, I listened to it for an hour and 20 minutes straight one time on the way home from the beach. My favorite part is the one that inspired this scene. However, while in the the song they split up at one point, in my version they stick together.
"12 hours out of Mackinaw City
Stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
And I told her what I'd decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment
Then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing
I knew what she was thinkin'
Roll, roll me away
Won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost, I feel double-crossed
And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
We never even said a word
We just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight"

RubyTuesday70
Thank you, so glad you like it!! You would not have minded being in the car with me that time then lol!

Absolutely stunning!
RubyTuesday70
Thank you! I was very an@# (you know what) about this one, it seems like the more the elements in the scene the more you tend to nitpick!

You're right, it's a great great song and your illustration is a great great image.
RubyTuesday70

Thank you Steve! I have seen quite a few of my favorite bands/singer but sadly this is one concert that I will miss not seeing.

Your new image looks fantastic once again! PS. If I had to drink one of these beers, I would be drunken for the rest of this week!
RubyTuesday70
Hahaha, yes it is quite a bit!! I usually have beers like that only when on vacation, I had them both in Ireland and Germany. Grazie Ute, un abbraccio!!

Beautiful scene, and it echoes the song so nicely! I think you did a great job with the (undoubtedly tricky) dusk lighting and the overall atmosphere and mood. Great coasters, too :-)
RubyTuesday70
Thank you so much!!! Please tell me I am not the only one obsessed with little things like having beer coasters on the counter, lol!!! This is one of those infamous rabbit holes, you can walk past it and make due with what you have or jump right in. Guess what I did? hee hee

I don't even know where to start... Well, I agree with perpetualrevision, great coasters indeed! Also the light is fenomenal and accurate and oooh the beer, I am with Ute here: I would be off an entire week, but it would be worth and sooo needed right now he he. Beautiful and also I am glad in your version they stay together. Love is what matters most, especially now.
RubyTuesday70
Exactly!!! I used to love that part of the song, until I played closer attention to the lyrics that followed and then I was so disappointed. So nope, not gonna happen, not in my 3D world at least!! Thank you so much for your lovely words and for creating these beautiful people!!!

This is a dramatic and superb scene. Very impressive!
RubyTuesday70
Thank you so much!!! It was a lot of fun working on this one!

Wow! So much to take in. I really like the characters and the poses and I love all the details already mentioned especially the view out the windows. Have always loved Bob Seger, too, so it's little wonder the whole thing strikes me so! Thank you for sharing your work.

Thank you so much Mollz!!! This render was very special to me and I love seeing the feedback from Seger fans. I. think this might be one of the renders I worked on the most, once I decided to put it in action I realised I needed to tweak, texture, and twerk quite a few things. But unlike some of the more complex renders I've done in the past I had a lot more fun with this one and didn't get that stressed out when I had to fix things. Would you believe that I was actually even a little upset when it was over? I may have to make a part two, lol!!!
