Description
This is a fanart of sort for one of my favorite characters from "The Slayers" anime, Zelgadis Greywords, or, how he was named several times, "the heartless mystical swordsman". Zelgadis is chimera, part human, part golem and part demon, and his life is never simple due to that fact.
At the picture he is casting Ra-Tilt, the most powerful spell of Shamanic magic... most probably just to show something shiny because he never actually smiles during the fight, being most serious from all Slayers.
Thank you for views and comment.
Technical notes.
This is M3 with a bunch of morphs (Predatron's, Ghost of Macbeth, standard and Bishonens as well as ear morph made in ZBrush). Stones are not texture but actual prop stones, scaled and parented. Cloth is a mixture of M3 Cloak (DAZ), M3 Tunic Pack (DAZ), D3 Gunslinger and D3 Duelist (DAZ), M3 Wilderlander (DAZ) and M3 C.I.S. (DAZ) + cape from Renderosity which, needs to be said, is not holding poses very well. All clothes are morphed in ZBrush to fit Zelgadis' morph and textured with plain fabric. Some very minor pokethroughts are postworked as well as background and Ra-Tilt FX, but light from spell is actually rendered with Uberpoint lights (DAZ). Brooch and knot are modeled by me :). The picture composed as multipass render but no light/contrast adjustments were made for separate layers and picture as whole. Lights also used are Dreamlight's Studio Light Pro, Pendragon's Ambient Light and my own lightset. Pose is modified Kiri Silvermane's pose. I used about seven D-formers total for the whole fitting, four of them with hair.

One can see the effort you've put into this - great mix of various clothing and morphs. I also like the use of stone on his face which gives him a very unique look. And the light effect is definitely the cherry on the cake - very, very well done! :)
