Still Learning…

I’m not really happy with this image. I really like the costume…but I can never get it to work with anything! And something about this whole scene is a bit…bleurgh. What I do like–and I learnt from playing about with the rock I left in the scene–was how to puppet wrap an image. Which is …

Woodland Sun

I’ve gone all Julie Bell again… This image is mainly due to my need to light this particular woodland setting, which has been annoying me for weeks. So yay for that. Also, I got the Genesis 8 morph sets going cheap, so I’ve been playing about with muscles. If only I could tone as easily …

Angry Wet Cyber Angel. With Tattoos

…because it’s Wednesday. Lighting again…so difficult. It’s almost impossible for me to work out–spatially–where the camera is or where it’s pointing. There must be an easier why to to it…and I will find it one day when I wade thought the mass of tutorials. My eyes glaze when I start, to be honest…

Cyborg-4

A practice piece for lighting exterior backgrounds. I’ve always had trouble lighting this particular model’s skin too. And I kitbashed, as the cyborg add-ons completely ignore the torso, which is odd. The complete thing is a bit 60s scifi, but *shrug*

Cyborg-3

My troubles with lighting big, outdoor scenes continues. There was a lot more post work on this than there was on the last cyborg. It also affected the DoF and the wonder that is the DoF plane opacity. And I gave this about 3 hours to render. It needed another two at least. So I …

A Cyborg’s Best Friend

Oh, I had w-a-y too much fun with blending layers in Photoshop with this one. It seems to work though. And every cyborg should have a scruffy little friend… #digitalart #scifiart All daz3d renders, mine. Kim Knox Books Advertisements

Simplicity

Making it in here today with an image by the skin of my teeth! lol Nothing was working. Everything was overcomplicated…so I went back to basics. Figure and light. What I really like is that the hair is original Genesis–and it was free!! (everything else is Genesis 8) and it really works as a slicked …

Sorceress

I bought new lighting sets–they were ridiculously cheap–and I’ve been playing about with them. Not as happy with the result on this as the old way I was lighting, which did give me a more flexible palate…so we’ll see how it goes. This image was inspired by my wip. Yes, I’ve been writing. Proper words …
