Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 26 1:43 pm)
Really not much of a difference. I personally love shadows, so I would say the first one. The only thing I would wonder is about the stark brightness of the reflection on his armour, which is not followed up by a similar shadow of the tree along the ground. Also his gaze appears he is off in a daydream, perhaps moving his eyes could create more of a "story" as to what is going on. Maybe also a mist in front of his mouth showing his breath in this coldness would add a touch of realizm as well.
Personally, I like the second one better. The face looks rougher and tougher and the neck armor looks better than without.
Remember...getting lost is the senic route to the eventual destination. (And a lot prettier than the straight road)
couple of comments - great looking picture so far, but you seem to have heavily smudged the base of the tree and the silver shoulder (arm portion) armour appears to be coming thru the gold shoulder armour plates on the nearside of the picture. You also seem to have a white halo surrounding your figure, you could maybe try getting rid of this by using a file format such as tif to save alpha channel info before going to the compositing stage. Just a few suggestions
The armor looks better in the second one, but the depth of field-- illusory, I know-- and the guy himself, look better in the first one. Cool illustration. For the sake of the halo, I hope you didnt' flatten the layers. those haloes are hard to get out-- bigger feathering area?? could do a double paste?? That would allow you to have some of the brightness from pic #2 but the interesting shadows in Pict #1. Emily
