I'm really really behind haha. This is my first render since August. A quick character portrait turned into two days of tweaking textures and deciding how far I could take this haha. I was storyboarding and decided to make a portrait of Arden to drop in his character folder. It took a little longer than expected. This is the reason I love Daz so much. To be able to bring characters I've had in my head for nearly a decade to life. It's thrilling! This is Arden. He's very stoic and serious. He takes his job very seriously as Archmagus of the Arcadium. He also became archmagus at a young age, far younger than his predecessors due to the sudden death of his mentor by a trusted ally. And to make this new life even more difficult to navigate, Arden has to face this new future without his twin brother. He still seeks answers about his brother's death. And why it seems magic is fading. Probably one of the few renders where I didn't have to spend a day on post work. Mostly added a few small details and fixed poke through and minor texture issues. Software Used: Daz Studio 4.15 Pro, Pixeluvo (for final filter), Flame Painter 4 (for spell effects on the flame), Photoshop CS2 (for final edits and small details like the loose hair strands) GPU: RTX 2060 Logitech G600 Mouse, Huion Kamvas 13
