Mine was going to cost me close to $1000 so I said oh well. I lost about 7 years and lots of models and music!

I am wondering if I can use the textures I have created in Bryce? Kinda vague about that or what it means to Bryce.

Thanks everyone!

**SndCastie: great tips! I will check RDNA

Orbital: that was perfect there was a link to his web site with some tutorials and the kid is 20!!!! Damn!

Dhama: I would like to see this technique in action I am curious of what you do, and all good artists cheat...

Luchare: Dryad?**

DUH whoops!

You said fck LOL

It really miffs me that you cannot post HTML in here!!!!

That would be them!

Oh for Michael 3 preferable. Thanks anyone!

My hopes and prayers be with you! 

Ok...The Carousel is part of the book. The characters in the book ride it backward and get younger, but pay a price more than a ticket for admission...

You should read the book or at least rent the Disney movie great creepy stuff!

Quote - Nice piece of work..........I saw 7 also

I used your suggestions on the painting so thank you again for the feedback! As always you are awesome!

But that said Mr. will still be stopping by...

Thank you if you liked!  I am not actually trying to whine about the about of views I could actually care less about that. I actually love when I have an image has more comments and suggestions, especially if they offer advice on how to improve the image.

This was another attempt at trying to paint fabric which I was not sure how it turned out or if I need some more instruction. I had originally posted the WIP of what I was doing and really wanted some feedback on how it was executed.

Also this was one of the first times I have ever tried to match lighting from the background image.

I posted the above in the Bryce group but it applied here to.

Now that said I have a very thick skin having been here since only a year after the start. I and R'ostiy go way back. I usualy get a little more feedback. And true this time I was stretching my talents with painting so I wanted more responses to get a good feel of how it turned out. And I did post previously with the WIP to get suggestions on how to get that accomplished. I may do a tutorial, but looking at my feedback or views I really only do that if I am asked or if it was a very popular image.

winterclaw: If you could overlook your bias how was the lighting, color matching and painting?

Thanks again for the feedback even on the community which has change dramatically over the years...

That is exactly what kind of feedback I am wanting! Did it pass that test with you?

I am not sure how this got broke up to two different posts I replied to mine at the time of posting which is really weird when this showed up the next day.

But I do appreciate the nice words and I do know about posting stupid nudity poser images! LOL

Oh and there is possibly one more skull than you can find if you are counting Mr. Dark's Noodle.

But he is very happy with any response and will be over tonight at the witching hour to collect... I mean give you a prize!

Thank you for your honesty. This is actually the kind of feedback I was wanting, but maybe with a little more instruction on how to improve it. But hey that is how Politicians get their jobs!

Anyway technically what I was trying to achieve this image is matching the lighting in the background photograph. I also wanted some true relections in the crystal ball Dark is holding.  I think that came out well and was done without photoshop.  The fabric was where the painting came in and I have never really been strong on that. If you saw my original post on where I was coming from and how flat the poser person looked, this is where I would like some critique.

The quote is from the Book "Something Wicked This Way Comes" by Ray Bradbury it is a good read and great this time of the year if you have not read it I recommend it. But also inspired by one of the first really dark Disney movies ever.

Dhama you are right one of my most viewed images is a render of eggs...EGGS? LOL go figure!

Hits and Views are not as important to me as comments and suggestions otherwise how can you grow as an artist. That is one reason to be in a community is for peer review. Usually I get at least a few good comments or tips. I guess I was just not confident in my painting skills...
