Description

Some days ago I posted this portrait:

"Shepherd of Dragons" is the scene for which I originally created this character. I wanted to make a dragon shepherd but I didnt want anyone magical. I wanted "brute force" but I also wanted someone that could be real. I thought the contrast between mythical creatures and a real person could work well. With the orderly formation of the dragons I wanted to express the total control the shepherd has over his creatures. I used the same clouds that I created for the last image in my series "Road to Tertius". I made the mountains manually with geocontrol, no presets. Dragons are from Daz, outfit is from PW, character is a heavily morphed M3. Thanks for your kind comments in previous images and thanks for watching!

Love the concept of this image - very dramatic sky that fits perfectly to the genre. Very well chosen POV either that's adds a lot of tension to the scene. Two thumbs up!

Your morph for this character is superb! The motion of the cloth and the texture applied is amazing! His pose is masterful, yet graceful. But what I really like is his left foot, moreso his toes. Whether this be accidental or meant when posing, gripping the rock, bracing against the wind. Wonderful imagination & creation..
