Description

With "Desert rescue", and "The longing" completed and both receiving the prestiduous Bryce Select Gallery Award, I felt encouraged to continue my current series featuring the desert warior maiden. Recently, I discovered a moth-eaten manuscript written by myself almost 20 years ago, in a forgotten corner of our cellar. It features a very similar character that sub-consciously formed the basis of Malena. My gratitude goes to all the good folk at the Bryce Forum. They were a tremendous help in providing a critical appraisal of this current artwork. I battled with the rippled sand texture and Axe provided a lot of help and assistance in that regard. My thanks to him. As before, my wife assisted in finalising the pose. Because the image was supposed to capture a figure in motion, the entire action was videotaped and then individual frames captured to provide the basis for the pose. The entire image was rendered in Bryce 4.01 using a custom Poser-generated figure. Numerous photos of sand dunes from the Namib desert and the flow of sand in footprints were used to create the tracks on the dune. The dune itself was created with the sPatch modeller and the footprints modelled using Bryce lattices and composites in Corel PhotoPaint 8. Post-production in Corel PhotoPaint 8 was used to enhance the overall wind-blown sand effect, the footprints and hair of Malena. Digital compositing was also used to give some modelling to the shadow areas.

Hamfest, I have been going back over the last week of images and I can not believe you have not gotten more posts. This, and the rest in the series, is simply outstanding work.
