That's AWESOME. Do you do commissions???? LOL

The only think I don't like is the way her hips are twisted. Her pose doesn't quite look Natural. But, its still light years beyond what I can do. :p

Right now I’m still trying to do my own commissions. ;)

I got a bit disillusioned though, because I’m having a [i:2wvsf6xk]lot[/i:2wvsf6xk] of trouble re-creating Shir’le’s face (as in the portrait I’m using). I’ve got all these dials to change the shape of the head and face and such and no idea which one to set to what to get something that looks even remotely similar. I just lack the artistic insight I guess. :(

As for the pose… as I said I didn’t do that. I just picked one of the poses that came with the model. But I think it looks alright. :)

And thank you for the compliment. :D

:eek: Awesome picture!

If the lighting on the background is wrong, why don't you simply mirror it? That should fix the direction ;)

Regarding the "floating": maybe you could put some tufts of grass in front of the feet... :?

Anyway - make sure to post more of these dark angels :D

That looks great! Usualy I'm not one for generated art such as that, but I can see you becoming really really good with it very fast.

The only major problem I have withn it, and its simply personal prefrence, is I would see the skin as a few tones lighter, ecpecily where the sun light touches her.
Again, is nothing important, simply ther image I have of drow. :)

I would love to use a bright white highlight to show where the sun touches the skin. But unfortunately this skin material is already using the highlight setting to get the light areas of the skin.

And thanks for the kind words all. That's sure incentive to keep trying. ;)

[color=darkred:3g3jgow2]It's B for me. Looks like my shoes. Hmmm... Maybe with drow-hide shoes you wouldn't have to polish them so much :p .[/color:3g3jgow2]

I don't know about A or B, personally I like the 'shiny drow' effect best. Pretty much all of my drow characters look like a highly polished obsidian statue come to life.

Of the last set, definitely 25%, it looks dark enough to be a beleiveable drow, while still having enough texture so you can see the depth of her facial features.

I like B2 very much, especially because it captures the surrounding
of where drows live, underground usually, unless they changed
that from the 2nd monsterbook. Haven't read much about
creatures in the D20!

That being said, the pose with a background pic is nice, and then
again... to my knowledge drows usually lives underground.
Making the forest a bit of an odd background to me.

All in all good work!
Not sure how Poser works, but it sure is great you don't really
have to model everything from ground up *LOL*
