Revisiting old renders while working on characters for possible projects, let these render for only a few minutes so they are far from complete with no post work.
Edit: Used the Underbelly character since I thought he looked cool, I'm not using him in any projects.

WIP teaser. No matter how much I wish to be fast at rendering, in the end it all comes down to PC build. If only I had access to better hardware. I could have finished this long time ago. But its alright, for now, all I need is Adobe lightroom.
30(4k) renders out 36 done. But I need to make more. I have used spot rendering on most of them. There are probably 10-15 Unique ones. Just a WIP update. Nothing to show off on Patreon just yet.

It's looking pretty good but one more thing I'd probably do (but maybe it's just matter of my preference with these fantasy looking models), is paint a little bit of gold over her iris. Something like this, or maybe just smaller rings just around the pupils.WIP teaser. No matter how much I wish to be fast at rendering, in the end it all comes down to PC build.

I don't know if it's the same in gimp but you want to make extra layer over the original image and then paint over the eye with a brush that's same color as the eye at some opacity, or slightly adjusted to what you are looking for and blend it in at certain opacity, you can also add some glow effect that can look nice. It's something I play around with when I'm bored just trying stuff and it can really make these renders focused on head look just better.Little golden dots like the do in drawings to make them shiny? I can do that. Yep, thanks for the tip.
I'm generally ably to render 4k images in a reasonable time frame. generally I can do a set of 6 images within the 18-ish hours I work and sleep (don't know the exact render time of course but I limit the time to 4 hours. Which seems fine for most renders. Not unlike my HD renders.How long does it take for your 4k's ro render?
With me, a complex HD render takes between 30 minutes - 1hour. I don't even dare to guess how long a 4K one will take.
For a good pc-build. What should you focus on?
CPU i get, but how about RAM and graphics cards?
