Description

Hi, thanks for stopping in. I was playing around with some new toys and out popped this... DAZ|Studio render, minimal postwork in Photoshop. Render time ~ 6.5 hours, mostly the raytraced shadows and transmapped hair. Production credits: in addition to the below, pwSurface shaders used on the skin, 'Dazzling Gaze' eye textures & Power Beauties pose all from DAZ; pendragon's hair shader. Watch the SaintFox lightset - I had some trouble with the shadow bias being cranked way too high on on the lights. I'm not sure why this was done but the lights are otherwise pretty darn good. As always, my thanks to those who have commented on previous work and your constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement are most welcome.

i'm not going to say a thing...cos you know perfectly well how much i drool and gush over your art! and you're going to have to try and explain again to me why you don't have these works of art up somewhere for us to buy as posters and prints cos i'll never believe your excuses. If I could afford it, this and your Sorceress pics would be adorning my wall. PS You know I wanna be you when I grow up, don't you? grin
