Kuchi (Halloween 2019 - Iray revisit)

It's been a while since I've done a revisit of this sort! Kuchi's Halloween offering from 2019, which I've always liked but it never quite had the look that I wanted. Now I still wouldn't say that it's perfect, but I very much like this effect :D

Of course, a few little changes, not to the scene itself but some of the details! Trying to better emphasize the size of Kuchi's tongue, as she's hungrily licking her lips. Making use of shader capabilities to make the bowl more interesting, from a kind of plasticy ceramic to glass. And overall lighting changes along with a new bit of background (what little of it you can see).

For those who have seen the WIPs, you already know where this will be going for this year :D And... I already have it finished, actually! So expect that post shortly~
