Description

I really wanted to create something a little different with this morph. Not your a-typical rugged type that I've been known to do. This was the first time in months I'd launched Poser; which I think is why I was able to move away from my traditional approach to morphing. This is a custom morph for Apollo Maximus, which is still in my opinion the undisputed pinacle of Male Poser figures. I used Bagginsbills wonderful figure shader, with my own settings; and a custom light set. Poser 7 render. Photoshop CS3 postwork. Hope you all like it. Comments and criticism welcomed, as always.

I think he would make an excellent character in a comic strip - he has that kind of look... he could as well, be someone real. This is quite out of the ordinary and I like this :) Good to see you back and around - been wondering where you've been :) :) Tina

I can't agree with you on Apollo... I downloaded it into my computer, the files uploaded into poser... I click on them in poser and NOTHING... so at this point, I cannot agree with how good Apollo is... It's a mess in my opinion - lol... cool looking character though.

Angel - Thanks. Tina - Always a pleasure. Praise from you is high praise indeed. mikeerson - I'm sure we've had this conversation before. I would think that the fact you have not as yet used Apollo disqualifies you from judging him/it, no?

Apollo opens just fine for me. I love apollo as a male figure, but he always seems to just look like Apollo to me, ClawShrimp your figures are the only I know of that truly DON'T look like Apollo. Big cheers for that. This character looks fantastic, again! He reminds me of the character from Slingblade. Not that he actually looks like the actor, more that this character fits the role better than the actor did. Good job.

It's an interesting face to look at. And the work itself is high in quality.

JJ, I know what you mean. In fact, the great majority of images I see using Apollo are instantly recognisable. It seems that most people focus on the three biggies; eyes, nose mouth. However, a fairly large factor to the Apollo clone look is his less than prominant brow. 'Fix' that, and you're half-way to shedding that oh so familiar family resemblence. Oh, and don't be afraid to turn those dials both ways :) Thanks to everyone else for their feedback. Much appreciated.

I like. Not your usual approach to be sure. But it works. I'd like to see more like this from you. You definitely have an eye for caricatures. Love that receding chin btw. Oh and mikeerson I'm not sure if you can judge Apollo solely on your inability to load it properly. I think it's a genius bit of programming. It's user friendly enough for me to use (I'm no Poser expert) and it's so damn pliable.
