Description
Hello there!
Alright! He's finally here and mine I can't believe how hard this was and how anxious I was about a fucking 3D model! That's what happens when you love to an extreme a secondary character from a videogame franchise. I can't thank her enough but save my ass here and seriously, she's the absolute best!! And you're probably wondering "why was she anxious for? It's just a videogame character for God's sakes!" I know, I know it sounds ridiculous but still I had a lot of renders in mind with him since the dawn of my hobbyist existence, so this was a key element for me. He's the father of one of my OC's and the husband of another, so is kind of fundamental for me to have him and expand my own take on the RE's universe here with you guys. Just writing about him is not the same as doing renders with his face, for me was incomplete until last December when he was first shown.
With RE3 I have a "special" relationship if you can say that about the game. Is a good game but not better than the original. It had it's moments when it was but sadly as a whole the game was not superior at all. I'm still a huge lover from REmake, the one and only I consider a remake in this franchise and could never beat that milestone Capcom set in 2002. Sorry not sorry.
In another news I hope all of you stay safe inside with your families, and if you're alone I hope you get in contact with those you love. This wretched virus might dominated our current lives but it wouldn't be forever, and sooner or later we will resume our normal lives again leaving these difficult times behind.
Now! Let's explain what you are seeing here! Ok I had a discussion with one of my good friends some weeks ago (while crying on her virtual shoulder because of this asshole) about what would be the best explanation visually and narrated for Brad's decision to stay behind Raccoon. This render is dedicated to her and her infinite patience with me and all my crazy ideas, even if this year looks awful for now she's one of the best thing ever happened to me in 2020. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and one day I'll make your render with Brad on top of you xD
Ok: the idea here was basically show his emotions and the contrast between life and death. The green, yellow, red and orange represent the "life" side, in which he had his family, friends and distant relatives too. At his back I played a little bit with a white lamp to represent his religious side, because he's the son of an Italian immigrant and all the religious connotations it represents. Resurrection, pureness, peace and all those significances. On the opposite side of "life" we have his fate: death. Represented with cold colors as blue, light blue and purple is what was waiting for him after he decided to stay for Jill. His face is turned to his left facing the idea of trying to help other fellow citizens and his co-worker because he wanted something: redemption.
That's the title of this render: redemption. Why? Because he felt the survivor's guilt of surviving back in July. He knows he did what pilots do: he followed the right protocol. He left to look for help. Had he stayed, the whole team's survival would have been zero. He returned and throwed you the rocket launcher (a team like STARS should have fast roped in, in the first place. Not to mention, had he stayed on the ground, he would have likely been killed like Bravos Pilot and everybody would have been fucked). But still, even if he knows it and his wife mentioned a hundred times to lift that guilt from his shoulders, he felt like he was in debt with his team. I have a lot to write about this and a confrontation with Chris when they arrived the RPD after the incident, and I think I'll make another render, so I'll explain better in the near future.
This happened during the middle of the night, days before Emily's departure from RC with Chelsea. He was overwhelmed by this situation and his own marital situation (a lot of arguments because he decided to stay, harsh words from his wife telling him "you don't deserve the daughter you have, you don't deserve her at all" or "we suffered a lot to finally have her and still you want to throw it all away. You're an asshole, Brad! That's what you are!". Brad felt the need of telling his own little girl of just days of age why he chooses that path, why he would probably die in RC and never get the chance of being with her. The effects on the notebook are an extract of a beta stage of what I had written about, still is blurred just for the fact I might have to change some of it in the future.
The portraits at the back are just for decoration with old renders I made during these years. Nothing special (wall was empty, so I decided to add those and a plant. Yes, a fucking plant xD) to be honest. Well at least for now nothing more to add with this render, I have another already scheduled to publish. Nevertheless, I'll try to post it next week or maybe in two weeks, I haven't decided yet xD
Thanks for reading and I hope you like it!!
(Oh and I love how he was portrayed in this game. Characterwise RE3 is really good (most of the times at least).

THE LIGHTTTTTTT. :goout:
That expression on his face, the one of a man who is determined but sad ! That plant is the detail that add it in the scene. v_v Truly, I also like to add plants everywhere... 8D That's so hard when both side have pretty strong arguments and get destroyed by it, especially only days before there is really no hope of say things much better...
Still you did him so much justice, he looks so credible ( note: in a " he looks real way " ) i can almost felt him and all the guilt he put in his shoulder and then can't get ride off, all the ' what if ' running like horses on his body and thoughts.
Greaat piece of art here !

Hello there!!
Thanks for your kind words!! They mean the world to me!! I tried to do justice with your work and I'm glad you liked it soo much!! I mean I was hesitating the entirety of time doing the editing, crying over my friend's shoulder saying "omg this looks soo awful!" and then BOOOM I remembered to add some lights on him with Ps! I love artificial plants because real ones are condemned to die with me, I suck taking care of them xDD
Yeah, I'm pretty far behind of writing Emmy's fic and it shows, but thanks to you I have more creativity to exploit It's a matter of time rn, that's for sure.
Thanks again and I can't wait for you to see your payback!
