A lot of progress since the last version. Thanks for all the comments everyone, vegetation was definately the key, and moving the mountains way back looks better. I'm now going to concentrate on modeling some jewelery for the GodChild to wear and then a little more tweeking and some postwork and I think it will be ready. - Mark

Very very nice concept, I like this pic :-) Elaine

So right. The vegitation takes it to a whole other level. Looking real good. And moving the terrain was a great idea, Mike. I'm new to Vue and love pikcing up these kinds of tips. jon

This is a nice progress since the previous one ! Did you try to play with atmosphere settings, such as exposure or ambiant light from sky ? They can make a big difference too. Good work !

Oh yeah, this is great, and much better than the first. :)

agiel: just a stock sky at the moment. The lighting will be the final part of the set-up (I don't like the shadow of her hand on her chest for a start). The glows applied to her eyes and breath aren't coming through as strongly as I would like either, and the shoulders and cheek will definately need retouched to fix some creasing of the geometry. - Mark

Is she going to blow birds too? A couple of flying things would look good I think?

I love it!

Jilly: I thought about adding a couple of eagles (or hawks), but I couldn't find a composition I liked. - Mark

Mark, this is much better than the first one. Like it a lot! Very nice idea! Phil

It's coming along very nicely, Mark! I think if you turn down the abmience of the scene, the glowing portions will show up a little better. Shadows will also become darker, so test the settings until you find something that works overall. :)

This is looking good! Love the concept! Rich
