ARTIST NOTE:
Zebras, like all equines, require a steady supply of boops. They will helpfully remind you of this if you don't provide adequate snoot boops.
So this was an exercise in stubborness, and undeniable proof that Daz is both insane, and only wants to watch the world burn. This was supposed to be something simple, just putting the finishing touches on a pic I had in my library of Anon and li'l Zecora hanging out on a bed together. Should be easy enough, right?
Want to know how long the rendering time took?
18. Goddamn. Hours.
And it's still only 60% done, hence the graininess in places. My patience had worn out, especially after going through two previous render sessions that would have taken even long (One ran for 10 hours and was barely past 20%). I have no fricken idea what made this drag so long. I did absolutely everything I could think of to speed it up. There's no opacity maps, almost no bump maps, almost no glossiness, no reflections, nothing! Sub-displacement? You're down to a one. Top layers? Gone. Hell, even the windows are actually gone. No glass and its many effects there. And there's only two light sources minus the sky, those being the screens, and they're barely there.
Daz, you suck, but I can't leave you. Why.
Anyway, this has been your hairy, nerdy ape-man rant for the day.
Anon has good tastes in ponies.
Sir Teddles is a BAMF who knows how to party.
