Test cover for my novel Mercy's Ransom. I have done no postwork and I realize there are a few tidbits out of place and the flag texture didn't come out right, but I'll move those later (when the publisher picks which of several I'm sending them. Why postwork something I'm ditching, you know?) If anybody has any suggestions on technical stuff... ie: settings to make the dolphin look wet, a better water plane (preferably something actually choppy and not flat with a choppy texture on it), suggestions on how to make the figure head look more like painted wood... that kind of thing is actually requested urgently!! Credits: Ship: Flying Dutchman freebie. all clothes except for the girl's skirt (which is the MSD) are from Poserworld, most with texture alterations or complete creations by me (ask me for any you like, such as his pants) Chest, flag and Common Dolphin texture in freebies. If I forgot anybody, let me know OH! Quick request/questions: how do you get a matte glow on an object? Oh, and if anyone has a model of Columbus' Nina or Pinta, I would be indebted to you if you could pass it my way! Or make me one? Pretty please? To do this ship right (which is to say, as a Caravel Rodonda instead of the flying Dutchman) I need a lanteen sail in the rear!
