I really wanted to create a 3D interpretation of a beautiful illustration I saw: "A Kiss in the Rain" by Kurt Chang.
When I originally started the piece, I worked on it during my lunch hour at work, and then I continued the hair grooming, particle simulation, and render portion of the pipeline at home.

The rain effect was achieved using Maya nParticles, and the water droplets on the characters were created using a procedural mask in Substance Painter and later converted to geometry in Zbrush.
