BIO I'm an illustrator, and for the last 15 years I have been doing almost exclusively digital work--mostly covers for e-books and small presses; fantasy, SF and Paranormal Romance covers are my specialty. I use Poser, Photoshop and Painter, and a nifty little paint program called ArtRage. I have been lucky enough to have work shown on the BBC's The Sky at Night, done promotional artwork for the Hugos, and have digital art tutorials published in Michael Burn's Femme Digitale and Digital SciFi Art (Watson-Guptill 2004) as well as DVD covers, cd covers and e-book covers, most recently for Liquid Silver Books, Edge/Tesseract and Dragon Moon Press. I'm also a member of the International Association of Astronomical Artists. . When I have time, I do acrylic paintings for fun.
Commissions: I do 3d texturing and backgrounds now rather than book covers, and I do appreciate a good UV template to work on. Thanks for checking out my bio!

Oh, I really love the sepia tone in this!

It fixes so many Superfly issues! Gah! I need to start converting more of my faves into DS...and thank you too--fu-minn does some really beautiful maps; I wish I could render up to their standard. (Mace nods).

Great scene here! he is impressive. If the ray gun didn't get the spider, may be the ax will, I hope. Do you plan on making that scene Man v spider? I hope so!
lwperkins
It might be Men Vs Spider once they have to haul it out :D --I was going to put in M4 in there as a buddy-- but Superfly took 2 hours for a file with the default preset, 2 infinite lights, one spot, one low poly back, and Dusk. And pants. I could have painted him from scratch in that amount of time.

Fantastic character! Great render! Most excellent realization!
lwperkins
Thank you!! He's such a pretty man, he's fun to work with!

great pose and character. I do not care for spiders, especially ones that bite. they claim that the average person actually eats many spiders in their sleep. no wonder I wake up full some times!
lwperkins
I've read that too and I am not sure it's true. :D I'm a light sleeper and I would probably notice! They have some pretty amazing ones down where you live, too!

SPIDERS are our FRIENDS!!!! Love this render!!!
lwperkins
It depends on the size:D I do like the jumping spiders..when they are outside :D

That would be be after them buggers. A good can of industrial strength spider killer will do it. Fun series Lynn.
lwperkins
Thanks so much! It's been fun :D

He is gorgeous indeed the sepia tone looks awesome ..All excellent and cart wait to see what he looks like when you do the next image ...So glad I don't see the spider have a top day.
lwperkins
Thank you and I hope you are having a super weekend!<3
fu-minn
Oh, it's very cool render with sepia color!! You always make my character so gorgeous! I'm sorry that I gave up working with SuperFly material settings, they are so hard for me, I never get any good results then go back to FireFly. Thank you so much for playing with him! Your image is really wonderful!
lwperkins
I have so much fun with Dario :D Superfly looks good, but it takes too long to render. I need my computer for other things! <3
rbowen

lwperkins
Thank you! It is so much fun :D

Wonderful render, the spider looks like it is more manageable this time, but I'm sure Dario could take on anything!
lwperkins
And I think he would smile too:D He's so pleasant! And thank you too!

lwperkins
I always forget how well sepia works on renders--I should try it more often!
midnight_stories
I feel his fear !!!
lwperkins
Spiders are sneaky:D And thank you!
karanta
He looks great. I need to have a look at Dusk :)
lwperkins
He's got a great body out of the box--face wise he could use a morph or two, which is why Dario makes me so happy :D Thank you too!
shadownet
I'm for the spider. So misunderstood. LOL
Axeye
Looks great. I don't know the difference between render engines. I just make a bunch of quick mini renders until it looks close to what I want lol.
lwperkins
All I know is that Firefly is fast, and everything else is slow :D Thank you too!
