Just a quick figure study to test some textures I made for my next Superboy render. I tried to match the costume colors from Superboy #8, so they're definitely lighter shades than the modern-day Superman costume.
The specularity and bump might be somewhat off, the textures were optimized for V-Ray but I just went ahead and rendered this in Poser since it's just a test. The actual image (which will also be from Superboy #8) should look better.
In an alternate version, I did some funky things to this image with Painter X but it didn't come out so great, I need to learn more about that program. :)

| The first in a series of nine images I'm planning for everyone's favorite boy of steel, Kon-El/Connor Kent. I plan on doing three images in each one of his costumes and hopefully capture some memorable moments (the first pic for each costume will be a pin-up though) and do justice to the hero that died battling Superboy-Prime during Infinite Crisis. |

For thousands of years, Kayresh the Vampyr Lord has ruled the land of Janir in a state of eternal darkness and fear. How Kayresh came to be the grotesque creation that he is remains a mystery to all; what is known is that he is rutheless and brutal, all to willing to spill the blood of innocents to achieve his ends.
Recently, the neighboring kingdom of Yalynor experienced a stint of turmoil after its beloved ruler, King Jeremor was brutally murdered by an unknown assassin. Fortunately, a mysterious savior known only as the Traveler appeared and assumed control of the land, wooing the late King's daughter in the process. The Traveler is well-liked by his newfound people but he is a stranger nonetheless, and Kayresh hopes to capitalize upon the kingdom's instability and take it as his own, destroying the Traveler if need be.
Now, as Kayresh confronts the Traveler in his throne room, he is about to find out that wherever he's from, the Traveler is known for his martial prowess! |

In honor of Yunner's release of his awesome Black Spidey texture for V3, I decided to make an image with it. I went ahead and put it on David and created a matching mask texture for Sharby's awesome Spidey Mask. Add in Sturkwurk's incredible cityswinger poses and you have a fairly cool Spidey image. This was a nice little break from angel renders and I'm certainly pleased with the result. Enjoy and thanks for looking!
Credits:
Spidey - David 3 by DAZ
Suit Texture by Yunners at HM
Mask by Sharby, texture my own.
Pose is from Cityswingers pack (available at Renderosity) by Sturkwurk.
Scene is Abandoned by Robotmonster.
Rendered in Poser 7 and postworked in Photoshop CS3. |

My attempt at honoring King Leonidas of Sparta. The scene was rendered in Vue 6 Infinite and then postworked in Photoshop. I tried to achieve a grainy washed-out but high contrast feel. I'm fairly pleased.
Almost everything is a DAZ product here except for the sword and scabbard, which comes from the greek sword pack on renderosity. |

Inspired by Amazing Spiderman #525 from 'The Other' story arc.
I'm quite pleased with how it came out but once I figure out how to use Cinema 4D properly, I think I'll re-render and add some particle rain and rippling puddles. :)
Spidey is Daz's David wearing his Utra Bodysuit. Scene is from DAZ's Graveyard and Lost in the Graveyard from Renderosity. Special thanks to Sharby for letting me use his awesome mask and Sturkwurk for his incredible textures.
As always comments and criticisms are more than welcome. |

Anyway, this was a fun one. :) |

Bruce is standing in his study in front of a portrait of his parents, contemplating or whatnot, while the shadow of his true self looms behind him. My original idea was to have Bruce in some sort of everyday situation, say a WayneCorp board meeting, with the shadow behind him but I like this more because it incorporates his dearly departed mom and dad.
I tried to go for a sad, but not too sad, expression on Bruce's face. He is the Batman after all, not some whiny emo kid. :) Hopefully I pulled that one off.
For the painting, I rendered an old couple and then postworked the render to look like a painting (in CS3) and put it in the frame.
I used a bunch of stuff for this render, mostly DAZ products and of course P3DA's awesome superhero cowl (converted to work with David). The figure is the same as the one in my previous Batman Pic (he's actually wearing his costume in this picture but it's invisible :)).
The render was done in Poser 7 with very little postwork. I rendered the background, shadow map, and foreground figure separately and then composited them in CS3. The shadow is actually off because originally one of the ears was in a dark area of the painting and couldn't be scene. I was going to re-render it all but I made this pic for an Animotions challenge and didn't have to time so I just moved things over and tried to fix it with photoshop.
Again, comments, criticisms and suggestion are always greatly appreciated.
Oh, and another thing... the ledge on which the painting is sitting is all messed up. I'm not sure what happened but I think it could have been because I had smooth polygons on when I rendered, any other ideas? I'd like to prevent something like that from happening in the future. |

Just another night for the Dark Night.
This is the first in a series of Batman Renders I plan on doing.
Basic figure is DAZ's David. Cowl is from P3DA's superhero pack, adjusted to fit David. Cape is ODS's awesome dynamic cape. Batman texture by me. Rooftop part of Urban Living by Stonemason and the sky background was done by me in Vue.
Comments are very much appreciated, I'm very very new to this. :) |
