    Thank you!  Must get skin for him, since he's going to actually look much different, but the morph I like.  Now it's Oliver's turn to state whether or not I half-way succeeded in my attempt. lol

    Thank you, Serene!  Quite a compliment coming from one of my favorite Sci-Fi artists. :) Much appreciated.

    Sneak peak at the challenge morph I started for Oliver- Lennox.  He's wearing Evan's skin atm.  I do believe I've captured a realtively close likeness. XD

    This one is before some minute tweaking: 

    and after the minor tweaks, but to me it made a world of difference:

    The renders are grainy- I apologize for that, but I was impatient and only let them render for about 5 minutes.

    I really like his eyebrows and the shape of his mouth and jaw...

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    Thank you! The eyebrows are Evan's- I tossed his skin on Lennox for now.  Will start working on that after I finalize his head morph completely and work out the body type.  

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    Since my s/o and I have been home since yesterday due to Strep (AGAIN), I started on a skin set for Lennox.  I'll post the tester for everyone once I get it. :) 

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    so, the start of the skin WIP:

       

    Note: I won the challenge, my s/o is VERY happy. ;)

    There is so much to do with it yet, but as a starter I was happy with it.  Much more to work on!

    Awesome that you won the challenge! Grats.

    Ohh I really like his features and the base skin looks nice .

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    Thank you- I have an actual portait style render of Lennox cooking, then it will be finalizing the morphs for his face, work out his body type, then finalize tha base skin and start with the extras.

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    Portrait of Lennox.  Time to get things finalized. XD

  • LlynaraLlynara Posts: 4,770

    Oh, wow. I love his morphs and his "look." Quite the serious, intense fellow.

    BTW- get well soon, both of you. No fun being sick, especially in summer.

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    Thank you!  He's broody, yes, but also a massive prankster. lol

    We're trying- considering we've slept most of today and yesterday, we're working on it. lol

  • IceDragonArtIceDragonArt Posts: 12,548

    He looks very Irish hitman to me (in the best possible way) No idea why but I like it lol.

    Hope you both feel better soon!

  • FerretmaniaFerretmania Posts: 883

    Wauw nice portrait. Very intense. 

    I hope your rest did you good and you both get well soon.

    Thank you!  Irish hitman...hm.. Could work, actually. XD  I actually wanted intense as the expression, so I am very glad it came across.  We're both feeling better today, thank you!  Well, I think.........need more coffee to be sure.

    Here's a lighter expression, different lighting.  NEED to get seams fixed.

    Edit:...............somehow, the fixes I did on him before the previous render got......erased? O.o  Demmit.  Gonna have to double check that, and work those brows, but-WIP can be crap or great, right? lol

    Practice makes perfect, LOL. Believe me, I know that feeling, argh. 

    I love his features. The nose and cheekbones are beautifully masculine. Wonderful work as always, Darwin!

    Thank you- figured out the issues and fixed them at least.  Need Moar Coffeh.  SEAMS are next, and I do love his facial structure as well.  Mebbe next time, though, I'll go for something new to mix up the bloodlines a bit. lol  Seems most of my men have some serious bone structure. lol

  • LlynaraLlynara Posts: 4,770

    I love their bone structure! 

    But yes, variety is always good laugh

    Now, I have to go stick Ahmad in a Maharajah outfit. Should be interesting...

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    O.o   Oh, boy...

    He looks awesome in it! Will post when it's done cooking. It's Renapd's Maharajah for M3, on deep discount at Rendo right now. It's a gorgeous set that comes with a ton of items and materials. They look pretty good in Iray. There's a huge FREE add-on pack too with more goodies.

    So far, everything of hers I've rendered looks great in Iray and even better in Poser (because they were designed for that.) Really loving her ethnic clothes and her amazing textures.

    Here's the first render. Ahmad looks good as royalty! 

    I'm thinking a sepia-toned one, aged to look like an old picture might be cool too.

    He does!  I love this, so did my s/o when I showed him.  Oo.  Sepia toned could be very cool.  I'm testing out tattoo ideas atm, myself. XD

  • FerretmaniaFerretmania Posts: 883

    I like your men's bone structure. I like your WIP's no matter if they're crap or great. Following your WIP's is something I always look forward too . It's great seeing something come alive! 

     

    Llynara : I really like Ahmad as royalty too. Great work.

    That is a beautiful outfit and setting!

    Thanks, FM.  Well- I had to re-do the skin textures.  The ones I used, though perfect for imperfections, had way, way too many issues.  Will continue to update.

    FYI- I took this observation and ran with it. XD  You'll see how.

    Ohhh O_o  Those tattoos looks awesome!  Love the cloverskull one.

  • LlynaraLlynara Posts: 4,770

    Oh, wow! Love it! That's a great theme and fits his name and features very well. 

  • DarwinsMishapDarwinsMishap Posts: 4,087

    Thanks!  Now I can de-seam his base, and continue on with the tats.  Far from done.

    Ahmad in the clouds. Postworked the clouds around the front edges, as I just couldn't get the cloud cards quite as I wanted for the small details on the close-up. The blame would be my sincere lack of skill and not the cloud cards themselves. Someday when I know DAZ better, I may revisit this. (And some clouds are pixelated because I optimized the textures too much.)
