OK,.....in a thread last night(madmax br5, "I don't get it") I mentioned that I had been trying to do an image based on Grunewald's "The Temptation of St Anthony". I started working on it again last night,......I got this far. I need advice on where to go from here. I don't have a clue. I am stuck. Can you guys make any suggestions ? St Anthony is Michael 2 from Daz and the "demons" are titou's Orc for P4 male(from Poser freestuff), with which I am satisfied(they are very ugly fellows),......the ruined wall is modeled in 3d Studio Max 4.2 and George279's ruined building is in the background. St Anthony claimed he was beset upon by demons disguised as wild beasts,.....should I use wolves and big cats ? I plan on giving the wall a bit of the old clone brush treatment, but other than that I don't know. St Anthony 's beard was postwork in PS 7, and I know it still needs work. Thanks for your attention.

Looks like it's gonna turn out beautiful! All I can suggest for now is to add a little bit more light or maybe add a few colored lights. Did you know Dali had his vesion? http://corydon.shcsc.k12.in.us/academic/HONORS12/Artists%20you%20ought%20to%20know/Dali/Temptation%20of%20St%20Anthony.JPG A little bit different.

I would delete the pocket from his robe (if it is a separate object from the rest of the robe), it somehow looks out of place. Great start!

Thanks guys,.......yeah, I intend to get rid of the pocket, but did not do it here because it's connected to the robe(not a seperate object, more clone brushing). I love Dali, although I have never seen this piece. Has anyone seen his portrait of Harpo Marx ? Very nice work, burning girraffes and all. Seeing the Dali image has given me more ideas, maybe a demonic horse. OK,.......back to work,......see if I can make an interesting deformation of the P4 horse. Thanks for the ideas about the lighting,......colored lights never occurred to me. Once again,.......thanks for the feedback. I'll have to start asking for help more often.............Later,.......TOM........(sackrat).
