Thanks to a hard drive loss I try to salvage as much as I can from my "Meet the Tropes" VN. And here I was hoping to release the first draft this fall. I really should invest in a private cloud. 
Unlucky me I can't recreate the missing sprites with my skillset from last year, they looked too different, from what I do now. So I decided to redo all the sprites of the VN. Which also means, I can modify now stuff more to my liking, that I couldn't last year.
The lucky part is, I used the same clamp lighting and camera setup, in various projects, which I will modify as soon, as I have some free time, to be more fitting. I find it very bright now, that I learned some photographers lighting tricks for (nude) body shots.
Those were all the sprites, I could salvage. Which means I lost about 30 .duf and .png files each, for Sybrina alone.
Now I try to give her a new smile. She is the holder of the tsundere trope (The old school version, from back when "Neon Genesis Evangelion" and Asuka weren't a thing. Examples: Akane Tendo, Lina Inverse). And I thought it would be a nice thing to give you guys a little say into this one.
Those are the options that stuck to me, the most.
Option A
Option B
As a small reminder, she is the youngest daughter of a policeman and a reformed criminal bride. She is also the most outgoing when it comes to boys. She starts the VN right after a break up with a popular jog from her school, who couldn't satisfy her needs in the sheets and tried to keep her through money and expensive presents instead. She loves the otaku pop culture and is a little bit too obsessive with Anime and Manga, like wearing contact lenses that alter her eyes and behave as an anime character with all the over-exaggerated jive when under stress(positive as well as negative).

If I've used my calculator right, it's been 50 hours rendering?
18 min finally 1% its ok
What's the idea of fogging up indoors

Thanks
As for tips,I don't know without any specifics. Maybe just play around with lighting in scenes without any figures loaded. That's what I do sometimes just to get familiar with lighting or trying new things. Generally the live preview renders much faster without having to render any figures, so you can see the results of lights changes much quicker.I started learning Daz because of this place. Started with the intent of making a game, but realised quickly it'd be pretty much impossible. I'm way too slow to put out enough renders at a reasonable rate. Also I'm not much of a writer either
