Description

Lorenzo Bartolomeo Giovanecchi, il duca di Galeassi, is a powerful and cunning lord, not known for scrupulosity or honesty in his dealings. More commonly known as Lorenzo Testarossa, the duke has solidified his stronghold on the region, and has eyes for the lands beyond his borders. Lately, he has heard of a skillful mercenary named Francesco Ramiro in the nearby territory of Antalia. Ramiro is currently in the employ of one of Testarossa's rivals, Don Alfonso dell' Accada. It would be helpful, Testarossa considers, to have Ramiro convert to his cause....and to discover just what Ramiro's links are to the noble della Vedra family. The duke's mind swiftly goes into gear plotting..... This one is for Leander, whose story and wonderful images from "The Academy" inspired me to create a character tangential to it and also to try to duplicate her marvelous lighting style in DAZ. If you haven't seen her gallery, its worth checking out, Leander2010. I think I have come close to her style....not quite as good as Leander... but getting there. I will let her be the judge. In any case it was a fun image and story to create and I hope you all enjoy it. PS...the duke is more handsome in full view! :) PSS...I had this scene fully constructed AND saved and when I tried to render it DAZ crashed. I opened my saved scene and every attempt at rendering crashed. So, the image you are looking at had to be fully recreated from scratch...and thankfully it rendered!! Thanks for viewing and for all the comments and favs which are deeply appreciated and also give me inspiration! Thanks also for comments and favs on my previous image "Embracing the Light (for pixeluna and chucknepo)":

A most excellent portrait and work of art! I am sorry to hear of your bad experiences with DAZ Studio! I have had similar ones with previous versions of that program and haven't used it in quite awhile. I am just so used to Poser and Bryce, it isn't funny anymore. I am really stuck in a rut. At any rate, this is a most superb and splendid work of art! Bravo and congratulations on your skills that you were able to bring forth such a wonderfu masterpiece after so many difficulties!

Great story and work on this one it looks fabulous.. Don't you hate it when it crashes when you go to render, Mine does that some times so I try and remember to save the scene before doing a render.. Some times I have forgotten to save and have to rebuild the whole thing.. It is heartbreaking.. My wife will say "have you saved lately" lol don't think she can stand the moaning from me when it does crash and I haven't saved hehehe... Great Avatar too!!

You captured such wonderful details in this pic! He is very handsome in full view, but also the curtains, the wall the table.. the background, it's all so well done, i'm hard pressed to find a favorite part. :)

I went to check out leander but the gallery shows no images. Strange. This series of period piece guys is really a treat. The costumes are great and the setting you create well represent their historical period. A tough but aristocratic man of his times. That is the impression I have.

Grins with delight Marco, this is great! You've done a fantastic job with the lighting - the Jack of Hearts outfit looks amazing. That set with the balcony is really effective too (is that Chronicles? - might have to buy that!). Wow. And I love your story! Testarossa certainly looks like a man who doesn't take refusal well... Can't stop smiling. Wonderful stuff. :-D
