I am the author Lyle Aryn. Writing is my first love, my one true passion. Every since I was able to string a sentence together, it's all I've wanted to do. Websites where you can find my work and more are below.
I started using Daz Studio October 23rd of 2018, just as something to dink around with. I'd been signed up with the sight for a while, and would occasionally remember to check for freebies. I was surprised at what I had when I finally loaded up the program. I just started playing around with it, figuring it out. I'd say about 92% of what I've learned in the program I've learned just by playing around with it.
In December I went from being a dutiful son looking after his mom, to the full-time, no nights or weekends off, caretaker of my Mom. As someone who struggles with depression, anxiety and a mood disorder or two, this change has had a drastic impact on my own personal care and well-being. I turned to my blossoming love of doing digital art as a way to cope with the mountains of stress on my shoulders. I do miniature painting, too. But when you haven't slept in 4 days, handling a brush can be very messy. Not being able to paint to my own personal satisfaction was making this avenue of relaxation increasingly frustrating.
Daz Studio has an undo button that you just don't get with painting miniatures.
As my skill with the program grows, so does my confidence. I did the cover to my fifth novel, "Because the Night" using Daz Studio, as well as new covers for two previous releases. (Though they haven't been updated just yet.)
I'm looking to always improve my artistic work, no matter what the medium, and Daz Studio is no different.

Great posing, lighting and expressions. My only point of criticism would be that the mesh resoultion of the car doesn't seem to serve a close-up shot like this too well. A more high-res vehicle would really make this work shine.
LyleAryn
Oh, I agree! That's why I used a lower-resolution HDRI as well. I was hoping the sharpness of the characters would distract from the low-poly car.
Thanks!

Very nice render - their closeness and expressions do tell a story of their own.

Spectacular and fine looking image! The characters are divine! While Marco's observation on the vehicle is true, it still does not detract that much from the overall scene! The girls more than make up for the shortfall of their vehicle! A most charming and delightful image! Very nicely imagined and delivered! Many fine kudos!!!!

Your attention to details, even when they end up hidden, is commendable as those little details often carry through in more subtle ways and is what helps to make for great posing. I think you did a superb job on the posing and render. Kudos!
LyleAryn
Thanks! My blender friend often tell me not to worry about what's not in the frame. I ignore him.

Yeah you do a lot of the same things I do, work out details that might not be seen. They do have a subtle impact. Besides. If you ever go back to it,months or years later, you'll have a much better idea of what you were thinking, than if you ignored all the stuff below the dash board. Really, the only time you need to cut corners is when system resources will be taxed, or if you are on a deadline. Marco's observation is correct, but hey, you work with what you got. If you're going for a full blown finished illustration, there are things you can and should do, but if your purpose is just to frame a setting for a story, then all you need is roadmap with a set of landmarks to get the idea across. I do that a lot.
LyleAryn
Very kind of you. Thanks.

LyleAryn
I've made it my desktop background now. Thanks for the feedback!

It all shows in the overall naturalistic feel you have achieved. nice work.
As a a thought on Marco's comment, you could always sub-d the car to get a smoother curve without necessarily cripling your cpmputer...
LyleAryn
I think it is a good scene to experiment with. I'll give it a shot. I have messed with the whole "Sub-D" thing yet.
I'll give it a go and see what happens.
Thanks for the feedback!
