    You do some of the best posing and expressions I’ve seen. You regularly nail the emotion you are conveying. Great stuff.

    Thank you so much!  I do try to do different things / angles.  I loved Tisiphony above so much - she was the most fun to do.  She had crazy makeup, fun background, hair movement - I just wanted to do that one over and over!  The other sisters had their own niche tho, and it would not be fair to them to make them basically clones.  ...or would it.... laugh

    Anyway, that is a huge compliment and I appreciate it!

    So I watched Star Wars last night.  I planned to do a dark / black leather / red lighting Kylo Ren type of character this morning using Owen.  I downloaded Owen, and did a little experimenting with 50% Owen and other guys cause I read in the forums that's what you guys do.  I want to not be a lemming, but understand what you're doing and why.  SOOOO.... I'm searching for the perfect black outfit and the model says to me...

    No way bruh, I'm not wearing that stuff.  I got an ABC party after this little photo shoot.  Here.  Take a couple shots of these guns.  That's what you can call it - Gun Show.  Or maybe Winner's Circle, cause like, it's like a checkered flag behind me, and I'm like the #winner, you know?

    Oh hey, wanna shoot my other piercing?  Oh.  You can't post it cause it's NSFW?  Their loss.  What can I say, I'm a hottie.  I'm always most popular at the ABC, know what I mean? It was soscrilla running into you - can always use extra cash.  Later Bruh.

    Sorry, I have a habit of posting before turning the page so my posts are out of context.  I was referring to Alecto.blush

    Really like your furies!

    And I agree with WorldsEdge, your expressions are spot on.  And I enjoy your sense of humor as well.

    "This Isn't Over" really shows the explosive anger, nicely done. (And hoping you're feeling better.)  I also love the elephant and books, that is just adorable!

    Fantastic work, man!

    @Novica - I didn't know how theraputic it was for me to get some of my frustrations out via rendering.  Much better now - thanks! 

    @illysArt thanks!  I need to be constructive like you and work onmy VN... unfortunately I am all over the place lol - but having fun. 

    @IceDragonArt - Thank You!  The furies were a labor of love for me really.  My motorcycle plate used to read 'Furies' until the people at work were convinced I was a 'furry'.  My license plate now reads 'Alecto'.  laugh

    @themidget - you working on a new icon?  Your icon is missing.

    LOL @ItsCeo, I don't feel very productive. Things are slowly coming together but I got a new car last Friday and my brain is not focused much on my graphic novel. I just want to DRIVE!!

    I look forward to seeing more of your work.

    @ItsCeo - First, Woe was a really cool transformation. You deserve props for that. I think your idea for updating the furies very cool. I sometimes kick around ideas of a similar nature, but they never seem to come to the forefront of my mind. I think you've got fuel for some great storytelling with these.

    I'm sorry @Marcius, I took sweet little Moon, and turned her into Woe.

    This is awesome, you did a wonderful job here. Thanks.

    Dangit @IceDragonArt and @Saphirewild.  I was blissful in my ignorance.  I would do no postwork, zero, none.  But nooooo... you had to plant the seed of learning into my head!  So I made the first render.  I love it.  (As a tangent, I have an Nvidia card so everything I make is Iray - she took like 3 or 4 minutes to bake).  Normally I open something up in Paint to crop it and zip-zip done.  For some reason it opened in an app named 'Photos' (MS Photos?).  Well, there was an edit button so I decided to crop it with this app instead.

    Cropping accomplished, I noticed 'enhance' and 'adjust' buttons (what's this?...).  With just one slider I turned pic one into pic 2 - which I enjoy infinitely more!  It's like a grey layer was peeled away!  Her leather outfit SHINES in pic 2!  It's amazing!   Pic 2 has sharp definition, and I like that!

    It's not Gimp or Photoshop, but it is very eye opening for me.  Thank you for your feedback - that's why I made this thread.  I want to grow.

    Such Beauty I Dared Not Dream

    The Mandalorian Dragon.  It is myth.  A story to tell around the funeral pyre.  Ceonia knew that with such an animal familiar, a witch could become famous.  A powerful witch such as herself, however, could become legend.

    Before and After

    Basically I just used the "Surface (color)" tab to change colors and opaquicty... opaquetutiy... opa.. see-thru-ness of the wings.  I had them looking like aluminum foil for a bit, but it was too much.

    I have literally spent a couple days trying to get the perfect title to describe what is going on in the picture above when it dawned on me, let the viewer read into it what they will.  What do YOU think is going on here?   Idecided to simply name it... Lilli.

    In the past few monthsI have made several 'night-time' renders  that I thought just didn't look good, so I didn't post.  They would be too dark overall, or seemingly night in the background with dazzliing bright light on the subjects.  I am really happy with Lilli.  I get the feeling of nighttime.

    I do appreciate any feedback to make this a better.  What would you have done differently?  Is the backdrop ok? 

    HAHA!!  When I wrote the above, the pic looked like below.  My whole point was the emotion on her face, so I thot, WHAT am I doing with all this extra body!  So I deleted my original gallery entry and focused on her face close-up.  I like it better, what do you think - which is better?

    I think I like the closeup of the faces better. 

    And really, really like the Bast render. The intent to inflict havoc is really obvious. That poor dude on the left on fire!

    Thanks @Novica!  I had so much fun with the Bast render, plus I just learned copy / dup of an asset so the firey guys were perfect for that!

  • IceDragonArtIceDragonArt Posts: 12,548

    I agree with Novica, the sheer devastation she is radiating is awesome.  You can tell she is up to no good.

    I really like the close up a lot better than the original.  On the original, the lighter skin on the lower half off the image draws the eyes away from their faces which is where all the emotion is.   I really like the close up, its really tells a story.

  • themidgetthemidget Posts: 287

    The close up is really cool.  Bast looks really menacing and it's a great render but perhaps some cats?wink

    Heh heh.  That's pretty awesome!  I love the expressions.   I've just noticed you commented earlier on my Avatar missing.  I took it down because I changed my mind about having something that looks like me on public display.  I don't have a replacement yet but I hope to soon.smiley
