It's a very good start. I would suggest that you try to soften the shadows a little as they look a little harsh to me, but it might be my monitor. The pose looks a little static, as if somebody was moved in front of a background and told to "pose", but it all depends on what type of effect you're trying to get, I guess. Composition is good and placement of the background elements works nicely. I will questions about slinging the bow that way as well. I've never seen anybody do it that way, but that doesn't mean you couldn't. I just wouldn't want to run with it that way! She also looks a tad cross-eyed. You might want to think about having her look either to the left or right just to make it a bit more natural. Just my 2 cents worth...

That worked out beautifully. The flowers and the frame really enhance the overall look and feel of the piece. Very well done!

Paperback cover! That's the idea. Sounds like a contest. Create a title and cover blurb. Ah...my old advertising background showing up again...

The "dead" spot in the corner is what made me think it was right for a figure card. Just to throw more ideas out, for what it's worth, it might be a nice spot for a small magical animal (unicorn?) or the like. Maybe a small fairy? Oopps. That might be a TOS problem. What do I know? I don't do good fairies. Drunken goblins are more my speed. See my submission in the Bryce galleries. (shameless plug).

What it really needs is a banner running across the top and a window in the lower right to put the figure in. Needs a hole at the top to hang it from the peg, too. It looks like an action figure card...and there's nothing wrong with that! It's a charming illustration. A nice lens flair on the wand would look nice. Maybe a few sparkles here and there. It really is very well done.

Looks really great so far. If you're looking for some good cardboard textures, try http://lemog.club.fr/lemog_v4/lemog3d.htm. They've got some nice ones. As to the knee coverage, I guess you could always duct tape a extra flat piece to the top of the shin sections. Worked for me as a kid.

What a scream! I built myself a set like that when I was eight! Not near as good, though...

Release it only if you can do two textures. One of painted on armor, as if it was done by a 3 year old with finger paint, and another of abequally crude robot. It would be great for doing cheap SF films.

This would be the thing for anybody who's doing SCA renders.

Redistribution can't be for commercial or use of the morphs for a commercial project is forbidden? I was hoping to be able to use it for a commercial project I'm working on. If not, I'll try to contact USSLopez about it. I was looking for something to use instead of Luke, as I don't have him on hand as of yet. Thanks for your efforts.

Bob,is there any chance that you (or somebody else out there) could point me in the direction of the M3 morphs for that? I've been looking for something like that myself. Thanks.

As a quick aside, anybody who whats to model armor for females that looks real, funtional and would protect (and still look sexy) should look at the work of two people, Chris Achilleos and Larry Elmore. While both do skimpy cheesecake armor, they also design some great, full body coverage stuff that can look hot. If anybody would put that sort of thing in the marketplace, I, for one, would snap it up in a heartbeat!

They're very cool. Do you have a can of Slurm to go with them?

Glad to have been of service. For what it's worth, I also remember that they demanded that we wear black, shiny shoes. I never figured that out as just the tip only pointed out beneath our cassocks. Sometimes, going to Catholic school was like being in the marines. Well, that was the 1960s for you.

If you don't mind a few comments from a lapsed catholic and former alter boy... The cassock, which you have in red, was black back in my day. The white overshirt, a surplus, did have short sleeves, ending just above the elbow and hung down to just below the hips. It had a square neck that hit just above the collar bone and was about an inch on either side of the neck. It was pleated, as I recall. Way back when, and I'm digging back in my memory some 40 years ago, we weren't allowed to wear any sort of necklaces or any other kind of jewlery. That sort of thing was reserved for the priests. I don't know about today, I'm not much of a church goer any more. Hope you don't mind my throwing in my two cents worth. Please forgive any mispelling. It's not really my strong suit.
