Description

Than dead! This was inspired by "Red Sonya" by SeanE in the Digital comics area. He is a colorist for the industry apparently. Anyway, I wanted to try to get close to the dynamic pose in his piece. As you can see 2D will always kick 3d's butt. I got close but not nearly as close as I wanted. I also tried the set-up just like the cover at first, but the dragon haunches loomed to big in the camera as to be overpowering. That combined with 3 separate 12-hour renders until I finally gave up on trying to get close to the overall scene. Lights were a problem too. Then after getting a final render I had to re-touch some wierd grid in my ground texture and try to paint over an extra knife in her sword hand...sigh. SeanE credited Pencils = Marc Silvestri, Inks = Joe Weems for his piece, but his post here is what I found inspiring. Thanks for the look, rap...

SeanE does some superb work, and I think you did a great job trying to bring it to 3D. Despite the troubles you had with this one (we've all been there at one point or another), I must say I like the final result.

As soon as I saw this picture, I knew it was Red Sonja. I am such a HUGE fan of Red Sonja and Conan. Love the books and the comic books too. I'm such a geek. Anyway, beautiful pose. Great job on making this look soooo much like her. Perfect outfit - very close to the chain mail bikini she usually wore. Wonderful expression and great setting. 5 plus stars from me. Love it! Oh yeah, this is a big time fav.

YIPPEE! Go, Red! Very dynamic in all ways and that expression... well, you couldn't have chosen better. Nice environs and the foreshortening on the sword is pretty cool. Overall a great RS piece.
