Description
The sorceress studies a book of magic in her tower retreat.
Here is another image based on mate3rial from DAZ rarely or never used. The clothing set is V4 Sorceress and the room is Mage Tower and accessories.
The costume is highly detailed with nice materials. The style features very long sleeves which present some pose problems, restricting arm movements since the sleeves are designed to hang from the wrists. The dress has morphs for the sleeves which take some figuring out and have limitations. The costume comes with red and black textures, red used here.
There are now several versions of the Mage tower and accessories. Numbering of accessory packs seem to have changed.
From DAZ.
V4 Sorceress
Mage Tower
Accessory Packs 1 and 3

I love the Mage Tower set and all its accessories! I haven't yet done a render with the V4 Sorceress outfit, but you chose a great setting for it. I can't even imagine how the creator figured out what sleeve draping morphs to include, in the age before dynamic cloth. Wonder how this outfit would handle being converted to dynamic?!

I think the Sorceress outfit is designed to represent an artists drawing of a sorceress not a photograph of an actor dressed as a sorceress. It seems non realistic by design so a dynamic version wouldn't work all that well. The way to figure out the morphs is to conform the dress in a zero pose and then spin the sleeve dials and see what the morphs do. Than figure out how you would position your arms in a dress with sleeves reaching almost to the floor. Also note that the dress has to work with conforming costume elements, belt, pouch, collar, etc.

I like the content and your posing, Mazzam. You know by now that I would have attempted more shadows and contrast and maybe a different camera angle but I cannot argue that you have a clear, attractive overall composition. As PerpetualRevision noted the content can be challenging (I have it but haven't yet used it either) and your advice to her is very helpful. Thank you for sharing your work as well as your experience.

Large interior rooms cast almost no shadows. And I wanted to get the fireplace into the frame. This is the only camera angle I found that did that.
