Going old-school

I'm not a fan of damsels in distress. I never write characters like that and the few times I've come close, it's because the character is either a minor one or the bad guy. That being said, I love the books covers from old-school fantasy novels. Runtime DNA has one of their contests running right now to make an old-school scene and I just couldn't resist the challenge of it. This one is not the final I ended up submitting, but it's pretty good, so I figured I could share it here.

New Character: Trystan!

I love this character; he's so nice and dark! This is Trystan for M4 with the Steel skin map, Wild Dreds for hair, a weapon from Deadly Edges and a loincloth I picked up at Runtime DNA, though I set the cloth to match Trystan's hair. Look at the definition in his arms. You can actually see veins!




After a while, I got the idea to try Trystan in a prone pose.



Then I hit pay dirt with this specific light and character when I took out the background props. Look at the richness from those shadows!

Lost In Thought

I got myself all wound up writing a fight scene this evening. Since I also got my content library sorted out, I unwound creating this very sad looking fellow. I have no idea why playing around with lights and camera angles in Daz Studio calms me down, but I'm not going to complain.

Valentine's Balloons

This is why you don't give a tigress balloons for Valentine's Day...
