Greetings group! I haven't been contributing much lately, due to other artistic endeavors eating up most of my time, but I have been lurking in the background. It's good to see the enthusiasm is still alive for Carrara. Many new faces (names?) here. Glad to meet ya! Here's a couple more shots from my never-ending worm western. I have these guys about 50% completed as Poser figures using the Poser Pro Pack; a lot tougher to do well than I thought. Soon. Michael

It's good to see you back, Michael ! Your worms are great ! Is there a place where we can see the whole serie ? And about the smoke on the image on the right : is it done in post-processing or is it 3D ? litst

Yes!!!!!!!!!! The worms are back!!! Nice to see you posting Michael! Clint

Thanks for the comments guys. The smoke is indeed post-processed in Photoshop; I'm not real proficient in controlling volume effects in Carrara - need more practice. As for where you can see the whole series - well, the whole series isn't done. But, I threw together a quick site explaining a little about the worms (others have asked about them and what's wrong with me). Included are some sketches from the early days, the complete pen & ink version and current samples from the 3D version. And here's the link: http://www.olywa.net/mclarsen/Showdownweb/index.html

I love the drawings! Thaks for sharing the link with us Michael. Clint

Wow, great site ! Now we got no excuse to miss an issue :) . The interface rocks, it's really in the atmosphere of the comic . Good luck for the following, i'm impatient to see the whole thing ! litst
