Description

Lady Starlight for V4.2(WIP) - Draco forever. My first Poser render ever posted in theses galleries. So many fantastic Poser artists in these galleries.. i am not one of them.#;oD I mostly use DAZ Studio, since it's faster to work with. But since my new V4 character is for both Daz and Poser6+.. I was forced to learn about Poser... and Poser shaders. I am mostly working on Tattoos at the moment.. To get the right colouring and expression. So this is to show how... Lady StarLight for V4.2.. Aka..Lou-Anne for V4.2....look.. when rendered in Poser. A character pack i have been working on for 3, almost 4 months now. Lady StarLight for V4.2 is here being portrayed with her only friend. A magic dragon, called Draco.. They share the same heart... so they live in symbiosis. They cannot survive without each other. I used that storyboard and concept in my old gallery, on several dragon renders. The original inspiration comes from a movie, which contains the best dragon CGI animations ever made. Some clips from the movie can be seen here..and also contains a song about symbiotic phenomenon. Since youtube videos change a lot..This is now split into 2 clips. The best dragon CGI animations in movie history: Click here to see the dragon CGI. The song about a symbiotic phenomenon: Click here to hear the song. If any Poser artists have constructive comments, they are welcome to say what they think about my character. Just a few notes: Lady StarLight for V4.2.. Aka..Lou-Anne for V4.2. Is not for sale....not yet... It is just a hobby...created to learn the process, and for fun....time must show if she will be put up for sale.#:o) She is deliberately constructed a little cross-eyed. It is to be considered as an extra charm. I have no intention to make perfect looking models. There are already a lot of them. Just pick one on the market place. I am not sure if 3000x3000 textures are cool for closeup or portraits. But that is the MR i used as point of origin. I don't do portraits or closeups much. So it is not an issue, to me. About Draco: Draco is also a complex and beautiful star constellation on the far northern hemisphere. Wikipedia has some fine images and info about the star constellation here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draco_(constellation) Draco has 14 main stars.. they are shown in most of my Draco and Lady Starlight renders. The closest star in Draco is 11.5 light years from earth. Draco is Latin... and means Dragon.

You know, I know nothing about Poser, I mean nothing except for the art itself; but the techniques—I am totally ignorant of 3D software (of which there are many terrific practitioners here, I agree). So i can only respond to the visual. LStlght has a softness here, a gentleness in her render, and the gown is just right for her (and has very fine detailing too...more of your loving roses). I think the rose tattoo & the chest tattoo are beautiful (especially considering the limited space in which you're working); and there's a nice flow between Draco and LS, with his arms pulling the whole picture together. And of course you have your always starlit sky sweeping in the background...Dark & intense, and I assume these take a lot of effort on your part. It doesn't look easy, I can tell you that... (If you're interested, there's a tattoo artist here, she's called Demented_She_Penguin. She posted several drawings of her tattoos in her first uploads, and they have great charm & beauty. I don't have the URL offhand, but you can search her if you're interested...) I assume your "Draco" has nothing to do with the historical Draco, who was one of the cruellest legislators in European history...this Draco seems way too loving to be connected to the 'other' guy...

The Draco thing is about 2 things. Draco is a magic dragon from a 90's fantasy Hollywood movie. But Draco is also a complex and beautiful star constellation on the far northern hemisphere. Wikipedia has some fine images and info about the star constellation here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draco_(constellation) Draco has 14 main stars.. they are shown in most of my Draco and Lady Starlight renders. The closest star in Draco is 11.5 light years from earth. Draco is Latin... and means Dragon.
