I have returned to last year's 'Eavesdropping', with the new figures I have 
been working on for the last couple of months. This is a fast, 
non-radiosity, render.

The title could now be: "Iskander learns something to his advantage".

Besides Iskander, the other figures are the Rais Abdul ibn Abdullah (of 
course), and a newcomer: captain Adamastor. The place is the city of 
Gancaloon, gate to the world of dreams.

My compliments on your picture. The ropes are especially interesting to me.
Would you mind sharing your technique for creating them? Maybe even share
the source code?

Regards,
Dave

Thank you indeed, Dave.
The rope macro is by Mike Williams, which I gladly acknowledge here. :-)

This is coming along nicely. Will we see a glimpse of Cathy skipping along
the quay?

Hmm... No Cathy in this scene I'm afraid. However, in another one I am 
planning, she might indeed appear as one of her avatars. Excellent idea 
Stephen!

Indeed! Your earlier suggestion has given me an idea, and Cathy is going to 
appear in this scene. Just wait and see...

Excellent.

Realist full-scenes often impress on a computer screen, but there are
few I can imagine printed on a wall. Realist full-scenes seem so dry in
comparison to abstract, impressionist, or still-life works. This one
will be an exception if you can get an attractive render.

I fully agree. A distinction should be made indeed and these kind of 
images/scenes, in my view, are not intended to be hanging on a wall. At 
best, they illustrate a story - which is tricky in itself - or they serve as 
a basis for a story. They have no function whatsoever on a wall because they 
would be rapidly boring and disappointing. I am, at heart, a storyteller and 
not a painter. As such, these scenes are the materializations of visions 
from my mind's eye.
