Ok, so I had a crazy idea to try to recreate a Comic/Fantasy image with a touch of Ye Ole Renaissance Era paintings style.
(At least, this is as close as I come to fantasy art.)
Also, this is my first real attempt to create unique lighting in Daz Studio, no presets used in this one.
You can clearly see Inspiration drawn from such masterpieces as
Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" and da Vinci's "Mona Lisa"
I wanted to do a more time consuming piece before the Holidays, as family life and stuff will require me to take a brief 3-4 month sabbatical
to assist with some familial difficulties. (Kinda sucks, since I was hoping to be available for the Secret Santa this year...but family comes first)
So if'n I don't get to post again before the new year, don't fret. All you fans of tremendous eye strain can look forward to more over-prosed posts
in the coming year.
To all those Heromorphers who've kept me coming back again and again for a quick laugh, some great art, and the frequent JR jokes...
Have a great holiday season (Turkey-Day, Hanukkah, X-Mas, New Years, Valentine's day, President's Day, etc.)
Credits--
Oh, my....lots of stuff here.
All them Mermaidies are the same texture - Aurora the Ice princess from renderosity.
And obviously all have the lost realms mer-ensembles from Daz.
But the Short Haired Fish lady is definitely the HOT Arina head and body Morph from HeroMorph Download Central!
Fish from Daz.
(Including the new signature logo -Daz's "DragonFish"-and he's drinking...so he's a Drunken Dragon, who's a fish for the underwater scene. Get it? Gee Whiz. Am I the only one who thinks I'm funny?)
Plant life from Lisa's Botanicals.
TrekkieGrrrl's Pirate props and Fyrene's coins from Renderosity.
Aquaman's Belt from Muskateer Graphics.
Aquadude's outfit is my own texture and transparency fabrication for the M4 bodysuit top, and Legendary Heroes pants.
Hair, beard, and suit painted over with Photoshop.
Undersea Background done in photoshop.
(and yes, for the added classic movie reference flair, that's the Holy Handgrenade of Antioch by MirrorVisage from renderosity.)
--to Paraphrase MissVee--
no Fishies or Fishy people were harmed in the making of this piece. |

Ok, first, it's been a while since I have been around here. I've been off trying to improve my skill set.
Second, I know they aren't sabers she's wielding, but I like the name my DW came up for her.

New Orleans turned out to be a very exciting place for Conifer. During the day, the locals were very friendly, even in spite of her odd appearance, or maybe because of it; for she met many an odd folk down in the French Quarter. And the food! It was no wonder to her that Louisiana was in the top five fattest states in America. Conifer was raised on a private island off the coast of Maine, and though well traveled, has settled on the fact that New Orleans has become her favorite city. Not just because of the friendly people or the food; but also because she works off all her daytime calories by night. Here only two weeks, and she's already bagged eight vampires, a man (and woman and child) eating werewolf, and no less than fourteen voodoo zombies. She fought a strong Hellion (demon) to a stale mate, and had to leave him get away as she licked her wounds. There was no doubt; she loved this city!

The forest is a place hiding many terrors for those who know where to look. Creatures great and small await. And certainly Jinky has been captured by the Kapre` and and hunted by the Duwende, but this is different.
Poor Banzai Girl never expected that she'd experience her own version of Lilliputian adventure!
Inspired by Gulliver's Travels, Jinky's obviously growing up nicely -- but never imagined herself as such a big girl!
Hugs,
-- Jinky

| You're all probably tired of these by now, but here is yet another Supergirl image this time with Batgirl. DS3, has 2 V4's and a M4. Would choke my laptop under Vista, Windows 7 I could still move the poses without lagging. Comments welcome. I was trying to get the flashlight to throw a light on the plantman. |

Preston Jones was a sick little boy
He looked at blades and thought them a toy
His father was first, a knife in his back
His mother soon followed, eyes full of tacks
His sister and brother were next on the list
Hacked to pieces, he swallowed the bits
Away he ran into the darkness of Queens
A bloody trail followed to show where he'd been.
The body count grew, the police were perplexed
With each corpse, the city grew vexed.
They found him, they found him, one bright sunny day
Asleep with a victim who he kept to play.
They beat him and shot him and yet he survived.
He animated his victim to the policeman's surprise.
He made his escape wounded and bleeding.
He's been trapped many times, stabbed and lynched
He has always escaped, with the dead following him.
Notes: I wanted to have this done for Halloween, but life got in the way. Moral Decay was a character I used when I played City of Villains.

| Conifer Locke, The Nightwalker
Grimslade Fantasy 2009/11/7 1:25

Conifer Locke is a member of an elite, ancient and secret order. The Order Of The Iron Tigers dates back to the high adventure days when Lady Wildfire founded the monster hunting free company. A tight knit band of highly experienced and capable mercenaries that specialized in slaying monsters of all kinds. If your village, caravan or kingdom was having monster trouble, the Iron Tigers were the ones to call. Through the ages the Iron Tigers passed on the art and 'calling' of monster slaying in the form of a secret order. Surviving descendants of the original Iron Tigers were given a very special education, which included combat training from age six. And the knowledge to destroy a wide variety of creatures. When Conifer was born, her parents had a choice, to raise her as a normal girl, or risk her death and put her through the Iron Tigers' crucible; a dangerous ritual that imbued the child with magical gifts. They made their choice, and their baby girl was among the twenty five percentile that survived the ritual. It was a most difficult decision but based on the growing occurrences of supernatural activity and creatures, they took the gamble with white knuckled prayers. Now, after the crucible, their child had greater than normal strength and reflexes, was extremely resistant to harmful magic, enhanced eyesight that allowed her to 'see' a being's true nature, and the ability to see in the dark. The ritual also made her immune to becoming, or turning into 'something else'; such as a vampire, zombie, lycanthrope,etc. Surviving the ritual earned her the title, 'Nightwalker'; this afforded her great honor and rank within the order. She is one of twenty three Nightwalkers that have exsisted in the last hundred years. Conifer never attended a school, but by the time she was twelve she could speak, read and write five languages, including archaic Latin, and she had the equivalent skills of a blackbelt in both taekwondo and Aikido. By sixteen she had mastered many weapons, both modern and old world. At twenty one she was well on her way to matching her father's kills, and joining the handful of Iron Tigers who's names were written in the Book of Legends. Her weapons include a 9mm with a twenty round clip, loaded with silver jacketed hollow-points filled with mercury, a gun that shoots holy water darts, and a lignum vitae bo staff/cross that's perfect for staking vamps; just to name a few of the many weapons at her disposal.
Her contacts set up a meeting with a small, but affluent church group in New Orleans who wanted to hire her services. Seems the old city had a vampire infestation. With the Feds kept out of the loop, and the local law in over their heads, someone had to do something. The few local vamp slayers were dropping like flies. The night fiends were unified, organized and well on their way to completely controlling the Crescent City. The group, representing several local churches, placed a substantial bounty on vampires and offered Conifer a very nice incentive bonus. This is what her calling was all about, this is what she was born for! |

So David told me (which I wanted him to) that my main problems with art are
*lack of dynamic look
*characters IN their environment
*Full body dynamic action
*room for lettering for covers
He really ripped on my old Thor sketch http://reddera.deviantart.com/art/Thor-sketch-128030954
(which it needed)
So I've been wanting to do a redo and really make it cool and bring it to life.
While waiting for my boyfriend to come over I started this and finished the line work today. (10/31/09)
So this is the line work. I will be erasing the lightning lines and painting it in. There will also be a downpour of rain when I'm done. The background mountains will be foggy and the vision will be blurred by the rain the farther back you go. I have mountains draw all the way to the back to let me know to paint it and fog it out. I will have links to the references on the final color. The model is triple H.
the front rocks I looked at bracing_by_LAPIAZ http://lapiaz.deviantart.com/art/Bracing-76451247
the rest of the mountains I'll have to re-find the references.
:)
So does this show that I am at least improving on my problem areas?
Thor the character is property of MARVEL comics, this is fan art. |
