Description
I decided to test some different wings and hair on this character. (Also new outfit - I'm planning another elaborate render.)
This is literally the first render I've done in days. I've been painting miniatures instead! I'm trying to decide if I should start photographing my miniature painting to share with the gallery.
Opinions on that?
I'll try to browse some galleries later on. Lately it's been overwhelming just to think about getting dressed, and I want to do more than just say the same "Nice job!" Or "Nice Render!" or etc, you know? Having been feeling so BLAH for weeks now, I find I've been more or less going through the motions, which is a bit disingenuous. So much talent, and I just want to make sure I'm giving it all the consideration it deserves.
This was a fun portrait. I've got a few tweaks to make to the outfit, but I suspect you'll be seeing her again fairly soon.
I've also begun the long tedious process of create a super elaborate book cover for one of my books. Posing on it has already drug on for many hours, and at the point where I stopped yesterday I was feeling pretty much that the whole thing was terrible. I decided to put it aside rather than continue, and get this portrait rendered up instead. Which... well, i was working on this until 5 in the morning. Which is a good thing considering I haven't been all that motivated to do much of anything.
With the mini painting, I had a spark of creativity. I created a little diorama, which kept me busy as I've worked to ignore my craving to jump onto Discord. I've learned a bit this week, and am pretty much as a point where I've got a good idea of how much I've grown as a person in the last year. May of 2020? I have a little trouble recognizing who I was then.
I owe part of that to you guys. Since I started being active on Renderosity, I've gained some friendships that mean a lot to me. I've grown as an artist. I feel I've gotten better at doing things like portraits and cover art. And hey, I finally got a webcomic going!
(Update on that. I know, a new page is late in coming. I've got all my pre-work done, it's all a matter of scene building and layout. I suspect I'll be doing several pages all in one day, until I finish out the scene entirely. Right now, fighting that lack of motivation for life is the only hurdle, as I've discovered how I want to do things like adding rips in fabric and posing Kyna through the fight. I THINK you'll like her fighting style...)
Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.

fantastic render Buddy
LyleAryn
Thanks!

I really like this! Lighting and shadows are superb, and given that she's got wings, the pose is perfectly natural.
Super job!
LyleAryn
Thank you. She got some sass! She's a character of my friend's. I'm planning something very elaborate for her, so I made this to both show her with the new hair/wings, but to get some feedback. Apparently the outfit is too colorful! Lol.
I don't think I'll top "Embers in the Rain." But I still hope to come up with something pretty impressive, all said and done.

excellent
LyleAryn
Thank you.

This new image is wonderfully done! (Once I had a cat with the same Name)!
LyleAryn

What a fantastic character, and yes! I'd love to see the minis you've painted.
LyleAryn
Thanks! I'll have to do some decent photography of some of them. Hmm. I'll see what I can do. Maybe feature one or two a week, so I don't flood the gallery too much. I've painted quite a few.
Kordouane
This is a very nice rendering. Do not hesitate to photograph your miniature paintings and expose them here, thank you for sharing !!
LyleAryn
Thanks! I think I will.
Koala44
Nice work. I would love to see your paintings. It must be very interesting.
LyleAryn
Thanks! I just uploaded my first one. I think this might be a good opportunity to start practicing my photography skills. (well, build them, anyway. As I don't really have photography skills. Lol.)

Wonderful image my friend :)
LyleAryn
Thank you!

a dangerous angel holding her weapon. love the wings.
LyleAryn
Thanks! This is from "Feathered Wings for All" which I think has better looking wings than the Morning Star wings, though they are a little harder to pose.

LyleAryn

lwperkins
Look how the tip of the sword is echoed in the corner of her mouth. Just brilliant!
LyleAryn
Very astute! Thanks for the feedback!
daggerwilldo
I saw some of your miniatures work and most definitely I would like to see more. They are really the predecessor to what we do here.
LyleAryn
I'll definitely share more. I've painted quite a few over the years, and still really enjoy it.
NobbyC
Great image!!! :-)
LyleAryn
Thank you my friend.
JohnnyM
I totally agree with Dag! I think you as an artist should post the things that inspire you to be creative! After all its just another side of your creativity that reflects on the person you are! You miniature work is well done as well as this awesome render. It seems like she has a sassy personality! Excellent work! :-)
LyleAryn
Thanks, Johnny! As I understand, she's quite sassy. I was glad I could catpure it well enough here.
STEVIEUKWONDER
On occasion, I have seen angels posed very awkwardly but in this case, she looks superb!
LyleAryn
Aww, thanks! That's wonderful to hear.
RodS
She looks fantastic - I love her! Gorgeous work as always, bro!
YES!!! Yes, yes, yes! Definitely post some of your minis you've painted! I'd love to see them!
I've been in a bit of a funk lately myself, so I know where you're coming from... Then my whole network going down, and problems with my main Poser machine on top of that, certainly didn't help. All back in working order now..
Yeah, this is an awesome community of folks who are not only incredibly talented in pretty much all aspects of art and writing, but also genuinely wonderful people. I've been here a bit over 10 years, and wouldn't trade it for all the money in the world.. (but I wouldn't mind taking say, 10% of it just for giggles, though... 😆) Looking at my older stuff from when I first started, I feel I've grown a wee bit myself! 😉
LyleAryn
That you so much! Even though I made her for a friend, she's become a bit special to me, too.
My plan for the funk? Beat my head THROUGH the creative block! A bit bloody, but we'll see which cracks first!
