Description
I have included here 4 images to demonstrate how I used Poser to guide my watercolor paintings and how my watercolor in turn gave me ideas for Poser images.
I used "Bits and Pieces" image as a texture on the morphed Jessi's head and its reflections in " On reflection- an oddity". This image was used in the watercolor "Lost in reflection" in which the reflections differ from the original head. And lastly - a similar poser image, where the different reflections utilize digital techniques.
The Poser images are nearly identical to my previous 'reflections'posts, but you could still comment on the interplay between traditional and digital art if you so wish, or anything else you think is relevant.
(If you commented on the prev. posts, I am adding brief comments react to your feedback)

Regarding technique, your paintings sometimes reminds me of the paintings of the 60's and 70's. But regarding what really matters, I think you add an extra dimension to your pictures when you create the watercolor version. It's hard to explain... The watercolors just seem... deeper, more intense. Wilder, without limits. The digital versions seem controlled, rational, and the watercolors seem emotional, wild.

I really like your final image with the watercolor painting much!! Its very interest to see how is the change from Poser-Models into a real work.

Now, it is. Finally, I could look more closer at what youve done. Its really nice to see how youve combined techniques with different approaches to the same theme. Have to agree with Rutra: the watercolors seems more uncontrolled, therefore, more multidimensional. However, the combination youve made on Reflections - An Oddity works fine, really. Id like to see this same technique when applied to a more specific theme. Sure it would be great!!!

Very interesting to see your technique, and I have to agree the watercolors are stunning.

It's really interesting to see how you meld your watercolors and 3D images together.

Interesting technique. I am totally lost when trying to draw without a computer, so maximum respect for "real" painters! Best compliments!

Great. I agree. You use a great technique. Fantastic.

Not being familiar with this particular genre, I couldn't see where you were going with the digital versions of this and as such, I struggled with them. However, with the watercolour version, I find it massively more interesting and thought-provoking and it's really good to see how the transition between digital and traditional has taken place. The watercolour version seems bolder and more intense and I think it's an excellent piece of work. Well done!

Very cool! Great to see the finished watercolor on the top right, you took it in a very different direction from how you had done the base rendered images. I can't understand how you get lines so sharp in watercolor, unless maybe you are going in with pretty dry paint at some late point. Really intricate lines on the bottom head there, and a cool contrast with the trick you did for the right head (I would guess you blotted some of the lighter parts up with a sponge?) Color-wise I love the inverted symmetry between left/right and top/bottom. The only thing I miss in the painting is the very open, non-threatening center face with her faraway, curious look. I know the watercolor piece is completely intentional and is just a totally different piece from the render, that's not any objection, just that I really like that center face in the render. All in all, very cool work.
