Description

The idea for this came from a little talk on Facebook about the common names of different mushrooms/funghi. In Danish they are often boring and matter-of-fact descriptive, where as the English names are more imaginative with connotations of fairytales and fantasy. A good example is the species "Amanita virosa", in English called "Destroying Angel". Very appropriate, since it is deadly poisonous for humans :) The Destroying Angel here is not a wild and flamboyant character, but a humble beauty, just like the mushroom. And equally deadly if she wants to be. Toolbox: Vue, Poser & Photoshop. Items from DAZ and myself. Mushrooms modeled by me. I've put this in the "fantasy" category, but it is as much a surreal composition of course. Thanks for viewing, comments etc. always welcome and appreciated. Have a nice day, and don't pick any mushrooms you don't know. - Lars

Great work! I love Vue; it gives such perfect renders. Quick question: whenever I import my Poser figures into Vue the hair never comes along. The follicle cap is there, but no strands. Have you ever ran into that? Thanks, Pat
