Hi all - I'm excited to post this artwork for several reasons. First, the character is my creation. She's called Cinder. She's meant to be a Fire Elemental, but she's also great for science fiction or fantasy pics. Anyway, I spent more than a year to develop her from start to finish. Learning DAZ Studio from the ground up, which ain't easy. (I was an avid Poser user a few years back when I was more prolific with my art postings.) And yahoo! She's finally available for sale on Renderosity as of today. Yay! Second, the background is one of the backgrounds for sale on Rendo. I've had loads of fun creating backgrounds from photos or from scratch. Side note: I was planning to go on vacation at the end of March and take a ton of photos of waterfalls, forests and caverns. Alas, our plans were cancelled due to the coronovirus epidemic. Perhaps when things settle down, I can revisit our plans. But for now, precautions are necessary. Anyway, I've added special effects - i.e. her magical swirls of light, which are meant to simulate Van Gogh's sky in his masterpiece, Starry Night (not that I can hold a candle to his amazing imagination). So call it an homage. And for past fans of my work, you know I love dragons. Ergo, I had to include one with Cinder. BTW, the only photoshop used for this was the magical effects and smoke from the Dragon. The rendered image of the character and dragon were untouched as was the background. Special thanks for your feedback in advance.
