I had been asked how I did certain things in making this image. While it is not a detailed step-by-step, I hope it gives some insights and tips worthwhile to some of you who were curious. In Flight has gotten such wonderful response at Renderosity in the Poser gallery...my thanks to all who have taken the time to see it and especially to comment and vote upon it. If you are not familiar with the image, please be aware that the final image DOES contain nudity. Thank you, Cris

Beautiful image, Cris, and great tutorial too! (: Genny

Wow! What a gorgeous image. Certainly gives a newbie like me something to aim for. You don't say, or maybe I'm still not awake yet and didn't notice, whether you use a graphics tablet. I'm asuming you do as most people here seem to. I'm still trying to get to grips with using the mouse for stuff like hair. Can't justify the money on graphics tablet just yet. Ah well, back to the drawing board. :)

Thank you for the nice words, genny and Greebo. Greebo, I use an Intuos. As you are starting out, their Graphire should be fine and places like ecost.com, had one, refurbished, for about $45. Good luck...I look forward to seeing your art. Drop me a line when you get some up in the galleries. Cris

Lovely image and interesting tutorial! Thanks - Elisa/gryffnn
