Description
*Blows off the dust and cobwebs*
So where to begin..
Well, I've not been around since what? The dark ages it would seem (2006 if I recall correctly). Over the past month or so I've been slowly dipping my toes back into the water so to speak, thanks to a very pushy partner and her demands (Isn't that right Anna?).
It's turning out to be a very hard, and slow process relearning everything again. Feels like starting from scratch let me tell you. The going is slow due to work demands, but hey, it's turning out to be an enjoyable one. It's a good feeling getting back into being creative again.
So the image, and the story..
Myself and my partner are working a little project at the moment and today I thought I would sit down and fire Poser up and spin some dials with the intention of making a character for the said project. After a bit of tweaking here and there this is what I've come up with thus far.
A quick render then came and my usual play around in photoshop to see how things would develop and this is what I have. (Those who know me very well know how much I play around in Photoshop before I even finish a piece of work haha)
With any luck, and If I can stay on this little creative ride we can get this finished up soon and hopefully you should it released at some point :)
If I recall the texture is from Aiko4 Pro Bundle (Isa Realistic skin textures)
Morph is made up from various V4++ and Aiko 4 morphs.
Image heavily postworked as per the norm :))
Feedback and crits both good and bad always welcome!
Nice to see you all again, and a special hello to all those old friends.. must catch up soon..

ForbiddenWhispers
She looks beautiful hun. You've done a beautiful job on her morph. :-)
MiKo0
She's a very much WIP at the moment Bez, She did actually come to creation based on the an oriental theme, must get a render up of that actually to show the skin we're working on :) (Might post another one tomorrow to show that) It's good to be back though, and the Magic, well it's more like a sprinkle at the moment, but with a bit of pratice I'm sure I can get it back :) @Bri.. Never went for good no, I just lost all inspiration and I've always been one who couldn't create if there was no spark there if you know what I mean.
Cylithera
I knew you had been working with ForbiddenWhispers for awhile. I was surprised to hear your name and was hoping I'd see some art from you again! Welcome back and looking forward to more from you!

@ Cylithera.. Yes she's been nagging for me for a while now to get back working again, and as any man can tell you a nagging woman drives you to anything haha @ Kiri... Yes buddy I have a feeling that the grey matter is going to need some serious dusting down!! Got to start putting real work last for a change :o

Such a sweet face.

Very nice to see you back and posting, I think I've been gone probably as long and have been trying to get back in the flow obviously without much success. With such a lovely character that you are working on lets just hope that she inspires you to continue on with poser.

...... :O :O ........ Welcome back, Mike!! :D :D Damn, it's been a long time since I saw an ebot from you. Good to see you back, man. As for the rust you speak of... it's been 4 years. Give yourself some time. I'm sure you can get back to your standards soon enough, and grow better. I have no complaints with this at all :) Can't wait to see what you and Anna have been working on. And thank her for me, for pushing you to get back into your art. I've missed your work for sure. :) - Matt
