Description
Just what it says on the tin. ;)
This is a portrait of Klicker, a character I played in my friend Al's Star Wars campaign. I prefer to play non-human characters, and the less human the better... Klicker was a great deal of fun. He was ship's mechanic and senior engineer; no combat capacity, but he could walk on the walls and ceiling. He had no vocal capacity and could only communicate by clicking-- I brought castanets to the sessions.
The model is Brycetech's Praying Mantis, with a couple of extra mantis limbs stuck on, wearing the bug legs from the Monster Parts 1 set that I believe you can get over at RDNA. Retouched in Photoshop. Background image is some random thing I found on the internet but can't remember where.

I love this whatever it is that makes it look like a pencil drawing or something akin to that. It adds something to the already cool Klicker character!

That effect is actually extrekmely easy to achieve. I stumbled upon it more or less accidentally. What you do is get your image how you want it, colour or black and white, and then (if you're in Photoshop) create a new layer on top of the whole thing. Selecting black/white as foreground/background colours, fulter/render/clouds, then Gaussian noise to your preferred level (the higher the value, the grainier) and then a vertical (or some other direction if you like) short smart blur. Set the opacity of that layer somewhere between 4 and 14 percent and there you go. Experiment with the sketch filters for some fun, but I really think that the sketch renderer is one of Poser's coolest and most underused toys. It deserves more attention.
