Description
Got the idea for this long before I could figure out how to do it.
Here's what I did for those who are curious:
I rendered two pictures in Poser, both the exact same - except one had a shiny red latex material applied to M4 and the second I changed him to have just the regular skin material.
In Photoshop I put the regular skin render on the top layer and the latex skinned render on the layer beneath it.
Then I painted out the skin to reveal the latex layer underneath using a wet drippy brush as an eraser.
So rather than add the paint, I subtracted the skin.
The stream of latex paint coming from the ceiling was painted in with Ron's Splash brushes (with a shiny layer style to it to make it look thicker)
Kind of a convoluted/backwards approach I guess, but I sometimes do things the hard way to get around my lack of Photoshop skills.
To achieve the shiny red latex material in the "Materials Room" of Poser 7 - well, I don't know enough about nodes and settings yet to create my own, so I used a "Select All" in the materials room, copied all the nodes and settings from a prop that already had a shiny red latex layer (complete with reflection nodes and glossy picture maps and correct settings and whatnot) and then just pasted all that to each part of M4 over and over until he was all covered.
The liquid base on the floor was done in Vue. I made a terrain, exported it out as an OBJ, and imported it into Poser (and applied the latex material to it). The goal of that was to create a bit of a blobby look like piled up wet paint. But it ended up looking pretty flat anyway after it was all said and done.

This one would have been more impressive, I think, if I had used genitals.

Very creative, and yes, thanks for the li'l tutorial! It's always interesting to me to understand another artist's "process." There's always something that can be learned!

very very creative, looks stunning! Love the bright red color of it, fantastic! Yeah, the power of layers in photoshops, fantastic idea actually... I use layers with almost every one I upload, in some works you would never guess, how many layers I have rendered for them... lol
