    Well, I hope it made you feel better!  Those renders do kind of convey that feeling lol.

    Love the demon eyes on the warrior, very cool!

    You Boys Come Here To Race Or Just Kiss?

    I have always loved that line from the Kathy Mattea song - 455 Rocket.

    Wow, I had a busy day yesterday!  That red jacket in the second pic is one of the first things I remember from starting Daz.  Even tho I am not a G2 fan, I love that jacket!  Juggling Act for V4

    Last weekend I was quite prolific.  I was hyped because for Llola Lane's Song/Music/Story/Poem Inspired Render Thread I remembered a song I liked and it sparked creativity.  I made a bunch of silhouette type renders over the weekend, most I did not post. 

    The red one sucks - it's blurry and the red circle irritates me.  I should have left it with the others I did not post.  I like the blue one, it seems crisp to me.  The Dance is 'meh' - better in my head than in realization.  I do like 'Unicorn Dreams'.  Technically, the lighting is not perfect, but I do like it.

    Nice work.  Your expressions are really good.

  • SaphirewildSaphirewild Posts: 6,668

    I so love all your work @ItsCeo each and everyone shows how improved you are getting with your posing and style of rendering, how you can make something all your own!!

  • themidgetthemidget Posts: 287

    Your Unicorn is fantastic and I love the lighting.  I love adelia's face tattoo (big fan of face embellishments)  Oddly enough, I posted my previous post after seeing only page one (forgot to try page two), seeing what you are doing now,  I would say you are learning really fast.

  • ItsCeoItsCeo Posts: 471

    Gosh, @Saphirwild and @themidget I really appreciate your comments! Thank You!  Little by little I am learning.

  • IceDragonArtIceDragonArt Posts: 12,548

    Love the unicorn!  And the tattoo is lovely!

    This is the original of the previous photo.  I think it looks better cropped and turned, tho I do love the curve of the small of her back.

    I think maybe I like the close-up better tho because it seems... busier? ... hahaha, dunno.  Which is your favorite?  Why?  What would have made these better? I tried shooting with different color lights but didn't look great to me.

    I like them all but I really like the closeup.  Something interesting you might try is a really really red shiny lipstick and red eyes. Or black eyes.  Just the iris though.  Then whiten the whites a bit (don't know what kind of resources you have for Daz, I have an eye pack that has different sclera, but honestly, its just as easy to lighten them with a bit of dodging in photoshop) 

    Edited, I looked closer and she does have red eyes.  Maybe brighten the red up just a tiny bit.

    You have a lot of good things in here, but I like your more artsy renders the best, like this most recent set of images. I like that you chose to share several versions. Also, I think you do expressions really well.

    I agree, bring attention to the eyes by brightening them a little.

  • ItsCeoItsCeo Posts: 471

    @Wanderer Thanks - I appreciate your encouragement!  Unfortunately...  *groan* I forgot to save different versions of her.  Also, this version of the render also wasn't saved as DS thought that was the perfect time to freeze and Abend!  Lol.  I tried to recreate the close-up version best I could.  @IceDragonArt and @themidget - I tried the other 2 red eyes I have (even Borg eyes), and nothing looked better, so I switched it up to blue.  I kinda like it too even tho it seems sorta blurry to me for some reason.

    I don't ever do any postwork, even tho I know Gimp is free... I just look at postwork as one more software to learn, when I have sooooo much to learn in Daz yet.

    @ItsCeo sometimes postwork is a big part of the 3D art world, it is what puts the zing into an already great render and pushes it to higher ground.

  • IceDragonArtIceDragonArt Posts: 12,548

    Well, we all know how much I like postwork lol.  But when I first found Daz, I chose to not do any postwork for the first year.  To me, because I come from  a 2D background, I felt that if I let myself do postwork, I would not put as much effort into getting the render to be as good as it could be first.  I wanted to have a fairly good grasp of at least the basics before I started to add postwork, because for me, it was too easy to just say "oh, I can just fix that in post"  I try and get my renders to be the absolute best that I can get them and then add the postwork.   And, there are plenty of people out there who don't use postwork at all. Its very much a personal choice.  And you are right, it is another whole program to learn.

    Thank you!  Woe made my creative juices rev up, and now I am working on a series based on the Ancient Greek The Furies -  the goddesses of Vengeance & Retribution.  In the ancient tales they are ugly.  I intend to give them a modern look.
