Hey AWESOME idea hendrikm!! I neer thought of that but WOW. Thanks for the tip!!

THANK YOU

Thanks Quix. Course right now I am banging my head against the wall going WHY DOES SOME HAIR CONFORM AND OTHER HAIR NOT!! lol VERY frustrating. I think I am going to try this LAST hair piece on him and if it dont work he can stay bald or I will paint it in post!! lol But I appreciate the kind words, makes me less likely to throw my PC out the window...:)

Let me just say that I wouldnt be learning anything if it wasnt for the help of talented people like yourselves! So again thanks! And on that note..help!!! lol I just am not sure what the best hair for him would be. I don't have a lot of Mike hair as I use him VERY rarely. To be honest this is my first scene ever with more than just one char in a scene!! lol So any hair suggestions are welcomed and appreciated!! Thanks!!

I am not overly concerned about the feathers at the moment because they all look too plasticey to me anyhow. I will work that in post...its a huge task but I gotta do it. lol I agree with his shoulder tho i am scared to DEATH to move it since it took me like FOREVER to get the pose with their hands somewhat good. But I know i have to...lol. That hair is probably not the hair I will use in the end...It was just something I decided to stick on his head and try out. Thanks for pointing out the chains tho, I hadn't noticed that and now of course it's bugging the heck outta me! lol Heres the latest and last for tonight. Lets all hope I get this right SOON! Mostly for sanity's sake but also because it's a gift and times running out. (technically I have a week, but at the rate I am going it'll take a month!) Thanks darkphoenix, I really appreciate the input.

Ok I have played with the POV and the lighting. Course I haven't fixed her foot either!! lol But thats a render I will save for tomorrow...as it's taking longer and longer here to render. Now I am still having a load of trouble grasping lighting. I am getting it a bit better, relly I am, but I think maybe it's a bit TOO dark around her face on this one. Maybe it's just me. I have read a few lighting tutorials, and I am working on it. But I am proud of myself as I have actually found and LIKE this new POV I got going on here. Also I fixed the arch of the wing...So it looks a tad better.

Not a complainer quixote, a perfectionist as am i, and thats good for me!! :) Thanks all I will be working on it tonight too. So hopefully I will get it right!! lol

Do you have a specific suggestion? Im not an expert but I might be able to help a bit. Also there are usually read me's and there is a tutorial about all the different file types and where they go in the tutorial section. :) Hope this helps and if not let me know I will try and help more.

Ok this is the wings not intercepting each other and a different color hair and I think her face is lighted a bit better. I still have to fix their hands and his hand and her hair. I am not sure i like his hair. Again thanks for your help. This is a special image and I want it to be perfect.

I have made several female textures darkpheonix, but I have never made a male texture. And at 3am it sounded way to monumentous for me to tackle. lol I imagine since you don't have to see his chest in this image I could forego trying to paint body hair...it's certainly worth a try. And now that you mention it I do see the hair going through his hand. DABNABIT!! lol Of course I am more annoyed that I dont have time to fix it RIGHT NOW, as I am late for a birthday party for my mother!! Addicted, BAH! lol I also wanted to point out my own error I noticed and fixed in another image that I havent posted yet, the back wing of his seems to go through hers, I fixed that. Later on tonight I will post some changes. Thank you everyone for you help. You are really amazing!! :)

Well still far from done BUT I think a bit better. You guys are extremely helpful...thank you so much.

OMG, please excuse all my typos, I wasn't paying attention! Sorry all.

Wow..I went to the movies and when I get back I have input galore! Thank you Thank you Thank you!! lol That is sincere by the way. As for the wing, actualy I checked it at different angles and it's not but i can now see how it would look that way. As for hair, haven't gotten that far. As for his bending...well I am fairly new to poser (well not that new but still new enough to be a newbie I think) and his pose is hte first one I have done from scratch. I have never actually made someone bend and kneel before. I just couldn't find any good Michael poses. What I actually wanted to do was have him holding her hand with one hand and with the other on her cheek. That sounds easier for me than it is. lol BUT I am NOT giving up yet. Since that was what was in my head that's what I would like to actually accomplish. PeeJay I agree with your POV suggestions...I just have a few issues and questions. First my issue...I am a bit Obsessive Compulsive in the sense that I always seem to NEED the WHOLE scene in view. If somethings cut off I tend to get jittery. lol No idea why. But I am willing to try it...now changing the POV would require using different cameras right? Sorry liek I said new to this. I get the idea of changing cameras and recently even discovered focal length's...I was so proud. lol As for lighting ask anyone that knows me, I am terrible at it so thats still a HUGE WIP. Eventually they will be looking at each other once I get the poses done properly. And I have a big lack of Michael Textures in my collection, but I agree he's a bit orangey. Anyone know of some less orangey preferable free ones? I have reached my Poser spending limit for like the next 12 years. (That's the responsible me talking, we all know that if i find one i gotta have I will just buy it!!) lol So thanks SOOO much for the suggestions and hopfully later on tonight I can post an updated one with all your wonderful suggestions and minor fix ups :).

No problem, least I could do!! :)
