Yeah...Kage does mean 'shadow'. When I made the screen name, I had THOUGHT I was making the name 'Shadow Warrior'. But bushi means warrior. Boshi....means...uhh...'candy'. Glad you liked Geanna. -Kage

I kinda have to agree with JeffH...the 2 models in the first don't look very femenine. Especially in the face...

Thanks for the comments! The shoulder blades ARE from Traveler. I think they're called something like 'Back Bulge'. And I was GLAD he had some. I wouldn't have used this pose otherwise. Morganza...no idea who or what the Iga clan is. Sorry. -Kage

Thanks for the comments guys(and gals!). I still have some more work to do on Geanna's backside(and yeah...she's the one on the left), like dimples in the sides, and pushing the buns a little closer together. I have to give credit for Traveler(sp?) for his wonderful Morph Targets. I have downloaded EVERY ONE of them for the normal P4 Female, and use almost all of them. I highly recommend them to everybody. What I do is dump all of the MT's I have onto one posette, and she's the basis for every project I start. Saves LOADS of time! -Kage

Personally, I like the butt on the left a lot more than the one on the right. I could be biased though.

I agree that watermelon-breasted warriors are terribly unrealistic, but I also agree that it's practically become an institution. As Darchangel pointed out, this is fantasy after all. And for the record, B-cup sized bra's outsell any other size. Few normal retail store will carry anything larger than a D, and if they do it's severely limited in selection. I know a girl who works for a lingerie outlet, in case you were wondering how I know this kind of stuff... ANYWAY...I'm glad someone made some clothing magnets for ANY breast size. I'm sure they'll be a very welcom addition to the Poser world.

Very nice, especially for a first. I agree with a lot of the critiques above, and here's my two cents: I really think that you shouldn't be able to see so far into the background. I'm fascinated with anything to do with the underwater world, and watch a lot of programs about it. Even in clear tropical waters, unless in really shallow water, you can't see very far at all. I applaud you for making the hair 'weightless', as it were. I've seen several similar mermaid pictures that were ruined by that oversight. On that note, you're very unlikely to see underwater plants standing straight up like that. Next time, giving them a little make them sway a bit. It will add to the underwater illusion. More stuff in the forground, but that's been covered. It might be a little cliche, but some broken pillars, or something along those lines? Cool pic! -Kage

Looking good. Needs more branches up top though.

I tried watching one episode of Buffy. It was so horrifically lame, I don't know if I could stomach another one. The Angel show sounds kind of funny though. Glad you guys like the picture. I wasn't sure how people would react to it. Originally, she was going to be on the toilet, reading a magazine but that didn't work out. Not getting all the right props, etc. Maybe once I get my hands on the right stuff, I'll do that.

Really? Never watched Angel, or Buffy for that matter...

No, the t-shirt isn't to hide anything. It's supposed to be poking fun at the whole idea of demons. You know, spending their whole day torturing humans. At home she doesn't wear the tiny, spiky leather outfits. Some ideas I'm kicking around are to have a table next to the couch with her horns on it(maybe suction cups on the ends) and some wings hanging on a rack in the background.

You could crop the picture, or simply zoom in with whichever camera you were using. Also, you should increase the quality of the file when you save it. I'm new to Poser myself, and I think I achieved pretty good results with just taking my time, and paying attention to little details. I recently posted my most current WIP picture here in the forum. At this point, the only post work done was drawing in the hair and adding "hotspot" reflections to her eyes. Btw, I'm using the same chair prop...Sharkey did a good job on it, huh?

Thanks for all the help guys. Luna sent me a really nice MagLite looking model the other day. -Kage

Blurring looks fine to me, as does the rest of the picture. But, wouldn't that hurt her breasts?

Oops, I forgot, the hair isn't finished yet. Still have a little more to do with the hair hanging in back, and I have yet to add highlights and shadows. It also looks better on my pc, I haven't figured out how to get those really smooth, crystal clear uploads yet.
