A New Render

Been quiet a while

Real life decided it hadn't kicked me in the backside lately and decided to correct the problem. Which meant no render time for me. I do have a couple renders that I haven't posted so thought you might enjoy seeing them.


First up: Vacation

I love this outfit and have many textures for it, each one has a slightly different feel, from goth to a touch of innocence. I've used it in several images Rose, Misunderstood, Searching and this one. The background is a HUGE set piece that is very rich in texture and I just love the kitties.








Second up is DJ's Workout

Another one of those time to kill renders from Alexis Morgan's Paladin series - (Dark Defender, Dark Protector, In Darkness Reborn, and Redeemed in Darkness). DJ is a Paladin who fights in an unknown war keeping Earth safe from crazed Others that invade our world. He's also a mischievious prankster and a computer genius - he hacks into systems for fun and profit.... he writes security software on the side. Anyway - I enjoy rendering hot guys and DJ is a good "model". I tried some different settings on the skin trying to get that sheen of sweat but right before there's beads of sweat running down... Came pretty close to the effect I was after. Should have tweaked the waist on the jeans a bit more.

Been so busy

I forgot to post this render... It won honorable mention in the contest.

Second win

Just playin...

This was just playing with a new hair and trying that tan light thing, and a new light for the eyes. Turned out rather nice.

Playing with Tigers

OK, I admit it... I love tigers. When this weeks specials showed up and I saw the dress... well the rest is render history... I also tried out the fog tool I got months ago but didn't have anything to use it on.

Lighting test and a happy accident

This was a lighting test. I added a tan distant light. I was trying for a sunrise/sunset feel but it didn't work out that way, instead it gave her skin a really nice tan color and the building an almost adobe feel. One thing about doing renders, when doing women finding jewelry that looks good is a pain in the ass. There is very little that isn't horrid. I call this one "Pondering"



This one was a happy accident. Oh the girl and her pose wasn't, but the feel of her is different in the final than in the original idea. She was suppossed to be resting after killing the dragon, but when I put the dragon in and started testing poses I got the one you currently see. It reminded me of a puppy who was seeing what their master was doing. Since dragons are intelligent - the idea flashed in my head of a dead knight in the background. I call this one "Was I bad?"
