Description

The mage goes up the the sacred high place where it is said magic force flows freely....for those like him who can channel it, and have the magic flow into them. This image is a first for me in three ways. It is my first image to uses composited layers in Photoshop. Yes, every one of the images in my gallery to date is a single layer of the original render. This one has four layers! This image also represents the first time I have used Photoshop brushes in an image. Amazing, but true..lol. It is also my first experiment with DAZ's UberShader for skin surfaces. I am pleased with the result of my firsts, and I hope you like it too. Many thanks to my good friend Carl (DrCarl) who taught me how to use the Alpha Channel in Photoshop (another first in this image, actually)....not a big deal for most of you, but I am a real Photoshop noobie. Thanks Carl! The image lost some sharpnes in resizing. Please ZOOM to see the surface detail! Thanks to all of you for your wonderful support in your comments and favs...I appreciate them so much! Big thanks to all of you who favorited my last image, "The Cosmic Dance" which made the artcharts this week at number 5:

You will love working with photoshop. I'm not very good at it but I keep trying new things. I really like the the work you put into this, two things really caught my eye.. 1. his eyes they are very good, 2. the effects you added. Great job :)

Excellent! Wonderful magic forces swirling around. I like the wispy green that looks like it could be coming from the rocks attracted by his power, and all the power streaming from his hands. Great textures on his outfit and wonderful 3d effects of the stones. Beautiful colors, textures, and details! Your firsts were all very successful!

Nicely done. You might not be familiar with Photoshop but it certainly doesn't show. The color effects are a great idea and perfectly implemented in the render.
