Three sailors spend their free time making music in an impromptu band.  

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
We've only recently picked up Poser and gotten to the point where we can begin to work with it.  We wanted to use this image to test our skills there and it was a mixed success.

Dana has really started to get good at posing people, for sure.  I think she does life-like poses and she's always able to put them in the positions we dream up.  That's the good news.

Unfortunately, clothing and hair are still pretty maddening for us.  We struggle for considerable time to do what seems like simple tasks.  I guess we still need practice.

All in all though, we learned plenty building this fun image.  I can only view that as a success, even if it isn't perfect.
