Description
This was one of my recent breakthrough pieces, where the concept came together with the character, clothes, etc.
I did the background with Bryce and then overlaid the character onto it. Now, because I like to avoid post as much as possible (crazy purist), I'd put the background into Poser and render directly over it. (That's what I'm doing with the new Martian Knights illo.)
I had to create the tunic color I wanted in Photoshop; I took the original, changed it, and saved it in a new folder.
I think this was before I discovered skin shaders, but it's hard to tell at this size anyway.
This is the first story for Crimson, who's probably my fan-favorite character. (I love writing her, too.)
It's also available on Amazon for Kindle. And available in my Martian Knights & Other Tales collection in both print and e-book form.
Enjoy!

I love the style of this. It kind of harks back to the golden age of space adventure with the likes of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. Love it!

I agree with Alex, another fantastic masterpiece and beautifully effective!

Thanks, folks. I was aiming for that classic SF/Fantasy look. Posted another fun Crimson cover tonight. http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=2179299 Another coming tomorrow. (Though I'll have to figure out how to do the nudity warning thumbnail for it -- though the shadows cover pretty much everything.)
