Great work on the character,very realistic movement,but,don't get me wrong I think you chose the wrong background. Think.... what an eastern girl would do in a western medievil village? Still, great effort.

That is a nice picture. And I think the background is just fine. I say that because, if she was Turkish, for instance, where there are a lot of great belly dancers, that background looks just a lot like some of the places I visited when stationed there in the 60s. A lot of masonary and brick and mortar and plank wood structures. Not to mention mule drawn carts. If I had a critique, it might be that most of the belly dancers I saw in Istanbul and Ankara were a bit more, er, Rubenesque, shall we say? Larry F

Nice, no silicon there! Like the tassel sway and hand posing too. Maybe indoors with old-looking Arabian carpets "hung" on a wall for a backdrop and a cafe table and such?

I think it looks great!! She could be a circus performer and she's doing her dance in front of a crowd in this outback....gotta use your imagination and create a story. Beautifully done. Irene

Marque, great image... I was at a used bookstore this past weekend and found a book called "The Secrets of Belly Dancing" and I had to buy it to use as reference for making belly dancing poses... I'm going to try to get started on that project shortly... so I have no real comments other than I think the picture is great, and it's a pretty realistic looking "shimmy", I just thought it was a funny coincidence. :)

lol, she was kidnapped and is dancing for her freedom! I was mainly trying to see if I could use PhilC's belly dancing costume on the Vickie P4 model. I was surprised to see all the nice comments, thanks everyone! Tends to make one work a little harder on the next one. OI've been lucky to have known lots of belly dancers and so the moves are familiar to me, I even dance myself but not professionally anymore. Once again this was done in Poser with various items put together from here and Daz and PhilC. I will be working on doing some bvh files in Life Forms, just have to figure out where to download more time. ;^) Marque
