This picture...hmm. First let me say it was a pain in the rear. Again I had to render EVERYTHING separate, then layer it all together in a way that promoted realism...which is NO easy thing let me tell you! Each character with props, and then the background =/. I can't figure this out...my system should WAY overpower this. 3ghz P4w/Hthreading, 1500mb DDR RAM, good card etc. Almost nothing running in the background, and if I try to render more than one or two figures at once, it hangs while loading textures or adding objects almost invariably =(. Anyhow, back to the picture! Samaurie's first meeting with the third character in her story, Calias. As you can see she's sort of combative =p. He's actualy a character from another story, and has known her 'soul' through many lifetimes(long story) =). He is however aware of who she is through every lifetime, although she is just living in this lifteime alone. ~~~~~~~~~~ V3 - Daz(custom texture by me) Fetish Pack II - Lory =) Robin Hair - MayaX Megablade 1.0 - kodesign(custom retexture by me) Calias: M3 - Daz Texture(Russel) - nouschka(customized by me) M3 Rogue Archer(armor) - Gorodin(slight retexture) Shadowplate(swords) - Ravnheart & Toxicangel M3 Morphing Boots and Cloak - Daz Background: Cyclorama - Daz All postwork and compositing(omg it was hell =/) by myself of course! =) ~~~~~~~~~~ Once again, thank you all so much for looking...and commenting!! I'm especially interested in comments on the 'fit' of the characters with the background. I absolutely love logging in to see what comments or critiques you've made for me...and all of your advice helps me to become a better artist =). So...again, thank you! Cris
