Just before they land in the distant kingdom, the Magician blinks the Prince's clothes back and even adds a little extra bling. He even changes his own clothes appearance to blend better with the Prince's. They are greeted at the front entrance to the Palace and are escorted to the main reception hall with full pomp and circumstances. While they wait for the King to make his appearance, they are impressed by the spit and polish of the four honor guards selected to be their personal body guards while they are in attendance at the ceremonies. The Magician seems favorably impressed with this selection of guards. Unbeknowns to the Prince, one of the reasons his father selected him to attend this ceremony is so the King of this land can inspect him to determine whether he would make a suitable candidate to wed one of his many daughters. A strong alliance could be forged between the two countries if that were possible and the Prince's father is always looking for new opportunities to spread his power and influence beyond his own borders. I have a sneaking hunch that the Prince will have no trouble impressing the King and perhaps one or two of the King's daughters. We will have a better idea about that once the introductions are made and the evening progresses. M4, Krystal Starfox and the M2/P4 hybrid characters. Rendered in Poser 6. Postwork in PS7. This Krystal model is the creation of CharleyFox (a.k.a. FoxHunt) [ http://charleyfox.deviantart.com/ ] adapted for use in Poser and DAZ|Studio with his blessing. My poor old computer really had a devil of a time trying to render this scene. It froze up on me so many times, I thought I was up in Alaska in 40 below weather. I finally was able to split up the scene into two renders, just the background, with the shadows turned on, then just the characters, with no shadows at all. I kept the lighting the same but had to fudge the shadows in using PS7.
