Oh, damn! Now I wish I'd thought about making a gif out of it! Usually that occurs to me but this time It didn't. Now I actually look at your gif of it more than my own pics.

So thank you!

I like the specific details like how the sand undulates when Susan falls in and continues to move between each frame. I also noticed the artifact slipping into the quicksand alongside Susan. Very subtle and clever detail to add to the scene. I'm also a sucker for backstories, and the setup with the cistern makes the scene work. Excellent project.
Thanks! I like to try to create that sense of constant movement even though it's just stills instead of an animation. That particular sand prop works well for that since it has morphs that allow for undulations. My mud pit prop, nice as it looks, doesn't so I have to simulate it in other ways. I'm actively trying to solicit Poser content creators to design me a custom, fully functional quicksand pit that I can place in any given scenario. So far, I've gotten a couple of positive responses. Fingers crossed.
That's actually just her oil lamp slipping into the qs alongside her, but good catch! The artifact is in her pack doing its best to weigh her down.

I like little details like that to help add...well...details I guess. lol
I enjoy a bit of backstory and scene setup as well. It's also a lot easier for me to come up with than a full length short story like I used to. Mom was always the real writer in my family.
Thank you for the kind words and detailed comment! It's much appreciated.

I think when I mean dry sand, I don't really think of it as "dry" in my head, more dry surface... like in some of the prank shows or the cork pits... Just how I pictured it

Regardless, it looks fantastic

Ahh, I gotcha. That's how I pictured it too. Thanks again!
