Description
Shout out to Madbat for watching the stream. (twitch.tv/lylearyn) The color temp of the lighting was a great call.
No, I don't expect this to top my last one, lol. I don't think I'll be topping "Embers in the Rain" anytime soon.
I just picked up Naia from fastgrab, and decided she wouldn't wait months to enter a scene. I wanted to do something more steampunk, but there is a serious lack of airships in my runtime! So we ended up here. I think once I've located a nice airship model, we'll go to the top of that staircase and do another scene with her. So this one I title "SEA Pirate Naia."
I've been working on my own RPG system for some time now (read: years) and I'm getting ready to start running some games with it.
Since COVID, the plans I made for in-person games shattered, so now I'm trying to come up with some visuals for hosting games online. The setting I'm working on is fantasy, gothic, steampunk. With Noir and Retro Sci-fi elements thrown in. EVENTUALLY I'll have a Sky Pirate version of this. But it was nice to get Naia out to get familiar with her.
Not looking to WOW anybody, just need a nice portrait style that is dynamic _enough._ So players can start injecting their own personality into things. The system itself is setting agnostic. It's being written with the explicit purpose of being suitable for the whole range of adventure settings. Hence my hodge-podge setting I'm building as a test.
So. Thoughts? Are you is there enough personality present for your brain to start "reading" the picture? What do you see? Feedback will be greatly appreciated!

Great looking character, scene and outfit....!!...love the mood and atmosphere....and you nailed the lighting and depth....top notch work....!!
LyleAryn
Can't take 100% credit. Madbat suggested going warmer with my spotlight. I was headed towards cold! It certainly has that morning-fog flair!
nemesis74s
Great!
LyleAryn
Thanks

She looks successful, rich for a pirate, better dressed than most and clean! I like the choice of traditional pirate arms, and the slightly less traditional bird (looks a bit like a falcon?).
Nice depth, just enough clarity on the ship in the background... I wonder if that's hers, or is she about to steal it?
Excellent work!
LyleAryn
Aw, yes. It's a Martial EagleI found over on Hivewire. I should have mentioned it! I have a parrot, and a toucan, but for some reason she seemed the sort to have a trained eagle.
adrie
Wow that is one awesome pirate scene my friend, as always fabulous work love it.
LyleAryn
Thank you, adrie.
bucyjoe
cool I like how you did the ship in the background
LyleAryn
I'm proud of it myself. Who says old ships can learn new tricks? Now to find her an airship...
Thanks for having a look.

very imposing character and weapons
LyleAryn
Thanks, Richard.

Nicely done. But for an aquatic it will not be practical to have a black powder flintlock pistol.;-)
LyleAryn
You take the shot before you dive, lol. She'd probbaly shuck the jacket, too.
Think it will be ok when I redo it in steampunk though. She'll be in my Sky Pirate crew. Probably as the only one that can swim, lol.

Beautiful scene, Lyle, I love this misty feel of this. :)
LyleAryn
Thank you. Much appreciated!
Belit
I dunno Lyle this one has some serious sea legs to it. I am impressed. Keep'em coming.
LyleAryn
Thanks! There's no way you won't be seeing Naia again. But I'll be giving her a new name. Hmmm... I'll have to think about it. So glad you like it.

Excellent work my friend 👍🙋♂️

Thank you.

You did a great job with this character. She could easily be either a hero (or antihero) or a villain. The bird raises poses some interesting options as well. Is it a familiar? A pet? A messenger? There are a lot of possibilities here.
LyleAryn
Thanks! I'm partial to the bird, too. One of those last-minute decisions that tied the whole thing to together.
Radar_rad-dude
Splendid character! She is a real take no prisoners kind of lady! (Lady?) Perhaps not? Anyway, I think she wins most if not all arguments! A fine looking character and scene.
LyleAryn
Thank you. I's say she does what needs to be done to achieve her goals.
crender
Amazing !
LyleAryn
Thanks!

LyleAryn
Sea elf? That's where I'm leaning.
Thanks for taking a look!

eekdog
Brilliant job on environment.
LyleAryn
Thanks. I agree. I think the fog might be the best part.

LyleAryn

Deva3D
Very nice work and great image!
LyleAryn
Thanks. You're lovely, Deva.
RodS
Aye, me hearties... I think she's ready to do a bit of raiding...
Outstanding work on her, bro! You're kicking out some wonderful work indeed. Looking forward to more (and getting back in the mix myself..).
LyleAryn
I bet! I'm looking to build a new PC before this one breaks so I don't end up with downtime.
Have a good one, and thanks for stopping by!

The RPG sounds interesting. This is a wonderful character and you did a fine job with her. Very nice lighting at work here to. Well done. Funny how PC's seem to be in the works. i am in the same boat. If you want to trade some info give me a site mail. i can point you at a few I am looking at. Are you going to custom build or buy ?
LyleAryn
Oh, I'll be custom-building. I tned to get more for my money that way. Especially once you factor in video cards. Especially nVidia video cards. This system is an AMD CPU, but I'm considering Intel for the next. I haven't had any problems with the CPU and GPU butting heads, so it will depend on price. I don't think it will make much difference to Daz, and today's games don't really care, either. Pretty much, I'll be budgeting for the best video card I can afford, and building around that. I also want a lot more RAM this time.
Thanks for having a look. Should be working on the Sky Pirate version later.
The RPG has been a long time in the works. Trying to finally put all that work into play. Got one person interested, so we'll see how much hype I can drum up in the next few weeks. I still got some setup work to do on the discord.
