I am an musician and artist. My musical mainstays are Blues, Rock, and Country, Between the three I stay fairly busy recording and playing live performances. I have been playing since the 60's so I have had a rather lengthy career.
As an artist I seem to be mostly into FANTASY ART with side trips into MOOD and SURREAL ART. I use POSER, VUE, BRYCE, and CARARRA. Photoshop is my tool of choice as a post production tool, and rarely do any of my pieces escape from Photoshop untouched. Mixed media works intrigue and challenge me. I love to see pieces come together.

A beautiful and seamless integration of the two platforms. What a magical, epic scene. I'm starting to think you lied about being new to Daz, but whatever, hehehe. :) Gorgeous work! :)

LOL...I dabbled in DAZ and then promptly forgot everything. As to this one, it is a trick. The main character is rendered in Poser. The background is rendered in DAZ | studio. I roughly approximated the lighting of the background in Poser. Likewise I chose textures that would closely match the coloration of the background. Next I took both layers into Photo-Shop and played a bit more with coloration until I got something that was somewhat more convincing as being from the same atmo. Then merged the layers and posted. All in all , it took about 5 hours. At least half that time was taken up with the Poser SuperFly Render engine rendering her and her wings.

reminds me @ some dali paintings - well done
daggerwilldo
Thank you for your comment of Dali's influence on me. I have always admired his work and that some of his magical vision stuck in my head is a great compliment. You will always be welcomed here.

Very impressive! I feel like I'm onto something when I manage to get a render and a photograph to look somewhat decent together in GiMP!

Thank you for your support. It is a bit magical how the artistic post render process works. You twiddle and twiddle and it is seemingly going nowhere and then something magical happens and it looks right. Well sometimes. Other times , they just get deleted or put on the shelf for another time.

Fantastic image!!! And a very cool idea to mix both images!!! :-)
daggerwilldo
My stuff rarely escapes post render work. But in this case it really had to happen for the piece to work. I lucked out in many ways that the options were there in both Poser and DAZ | studio for the piece to work. Thanks for your views and comments. i greatly admire your work.

You are so very kind to me. I really love your art and consider you a wonderful on-line friend. I am always happy to see your great artwork posted.

cool work! and good workflow! so you switch between 3 programs? ... it's nearly like i do... my 3 programs are DAZ, Photoshop and Blender... but Blender i just started to explore some weeks ago while i was trying to create my own G8F Character...
daggerwilldo
Yepper, this one went through all three to come to life. I may have missed a golden opportunity to run her in Reality versus Poser. Reality is another great render engine and does wonders with metallic s and glass like objects, as well as skin tones, Well there is always the next one to play with. Thanks so much for viewing and commenting. i totally enjoy your art and have a lot of fun viewing and commenting on it.

Right to favorites--that has such a wonderful, airy feel to it and the POV is perfect! I wish Rendo would let us pop open the pictures bigger.
