How many of you use a group of models for a single shot? Do you do it to tell a story or to a theme?
Here's my most recent tableau.
It's for a friendly comp on the Aus forum.
The theme for this round was uni, and I've gone for a classical art style. I'm tempted to do more tableaus in similar style.
I make images like this as a composit, each sim is in a different pic, and I layer them to make it look like they're all there together.

It's actually pretty easy, if you use a photo editor (I use photoshop these days).
Here's another that I did a few weeks ago.
The lack of reflection of everyone else is intentional, to make poor Trash look more lonley, even though he's at a party.
And here's an idea of how I did it.
I send each of the models to a different spot, to do an action, or sometimes two models together, so that they will interact.
Then I layer all the pics, and delete parts of the background so everyone that I want included can be seen.
Thanks.
They're a different take on modeling. They tell more of a story, without being standard in-game shots.
Here's a few more I've done
This one is from The Trash Diaries/Trash Talk
The next few are from the Talking Teenagers just for fun competition on the Aus forum.
Fantasy theme
Goth theme
Geekmizer theme
This was my first real attempt at a composit
I'm going to keep experimenting, now that I've got the knack.
I've got stories to tell, visually!
This actually reminds me of Rocky Horror Picture Show and I love it!! XD Such an awesome picture @Movotti
I have no idea what "tableau" is but I like all these pictures!
That was the intended look for that one.
As for what a tableau is:
"Tableau vivant (plural: tableaux vivants), French for 'living picture', is a style of artistic presentation, often shortened to simply tableau. It most often describes a group of suitably costumed actors, carefully posed and often theatrically lit. By extension, it also applied to works of visual art including painting, photography and sculpture, featuring artists' models in similar arrangements, a style used frequently in the works of the Romantic, Aesthetic, Symbolist, Pre-Raphaelite, and Art Nouveau movements."
They were very popular on postcards in the Victorian era, either as scenes from history, or recreating famous works of art.
