Hello everyone.  I've been a Daz Studio user on and off for about seven years now.  I'll admit that I mostly dabble.  It's not an every day thing.  However, I recently got inspired to do character renders for the main characters in the Magium series.  It's truly fantastic!  The only stories that come remotely close to this are some of the Delight Games books, Major Minor, The Eighth Continent and a couple of others.  The characters are quite memorable and you grow to really care about them.

So far, I have a draft of Barry and a rough draft of Daren (no scars and no armor).  See link as I could not attach the images for some reason.

For what it's worth, I am in contact with Magium's developer, Cristian Mihailescu.  Nevertheless, I am doing this project for pleasure and, thus, not being paid.  Why am I posting here?  Well, if anyone wants to donate stuff like armor, daggars, cloaks, other medieval clothing, etc to this project, it would be greatly appreciated as I have extremely limited funds right now.

Also, I'd like to know the best way to add scars to characters.  I have read about opening the skin texture in Photoshop and adding a scar layer.  However, I'd love to be able to do it within Daz or Hexagon.  The latter I have not used at all, but I wouldn't mind learning.

Thanks in advance for your help.
