Nothing was working…so I fell back on a fave. Grumpy Blue in a Shape of Water-esque style 😉

Begin the New Year with…oddness
The first image is the danger of weirdness going very, very cheap in the Daz3d shop. She was also a bit of a mare to light and add background…and render. I only had one polygon explosion, though.
Where as the woman with her dragon was a right pain. That dress? Seems simple enough? I was on the third polygon explosion before I dialled back to the bare minimum in the cloth simulation. DForce is…annoying at times.
As ever, bokehs are from a bundle from DesignCuts (I’ve yet to find something I like in Daz). The rendered figures are mine.
Cyber Space-elf…just because…
Minimal post work on this image, which I’m quite please about. And my cyber space-elf may appear again, if I can find a nice 30s raygun for her 😉
Bokeh manip’d from DesignCuts. Cyber Space-elf is mine 🙂
Something for the weekend
Me: I should try to work out dForce.
Also me: But…I should then drown the fabric work in dragons and volcanos.
Obviously.
This one got out of hand, didn’t it? I’m playing about with cropping it for composition. This is the full, uncut image.
The smoke and the volcano are bought stock from Depositphotos. Merlin and his dragon are mine 🙂
OTT Friday
So…this outfit was going cheap–and it’s a bit mad–so how could I resist?
Image One: I’m happy with the lighting, though her upper arm and side are a bit wonky looking.
Then I thought…how could I ramp up the madness of the costume? Dragons were out. Hmm… Wings!! Everything is so much better with wings!
And the Demon Queen was born.
Image Two: Unexpectedly, I got a more photorealistic look for this image, which is incongruous for the subject matter (oh, my despairing art lecturers from a million years ago would be pleased with that sentence 😉 ).
I’ve still a long way to go in learning about lighting, obviously…but now there’s dForce stuff going cheap too. And that’s a whole new rabbit hole for me to fall down. Oh dear…
Yet more blue…
Probably a bit over done…but I couldn’t resist garish with added colour burn smoke 😉
The sky and smoke are Depositphotos. The glowing, blue alien and temple are mine.
Nothing says ‘Boxing Day’ like a grumpy, blue alien…
Grumpy Blue here took forever to render. Close-ups always do.
Most of the effects were fixed in Photoshop’s Camera Raw filter. I love that thing. It often changes ‘bleh’ to ‘ooo’ 😉

Orcs need love too!
Orcs need love too!
I’m mostly happy with the lighting on this one…though I’ll have to revisit her arm as it’s borked. Btw, posing arms and hands is *hard*. And I only noticed when I’d finished the Photoshop touches.
Ah well, I know what to look out for next time. Every image is a learning experience 😉
Bokehs from DesignCuts (I have *a lot* of them!). Rendered figures are mine.
Here be dragons…
And another…
I was fiddling about with this–I’d just bought the dress–and was posing it and shifting it about, feeling the need to have negative space on the right. She was looking down…and it hit me that she was looking at something.
And I have dragon software.
Of course she was looking at her new dragon familiar. Look at her tattoo! Duh!!
Sometimes I’m so slow to catch up with my own brain, lol
I almost got the light right on this one, but I was messing about with depth of field to see what that did. When it rendered, it was grainy, so rather than wait the hours to re-render, I “cheated” with photoshop brushing and blending.
I’m still not sure about the image. The blurriness irks me.
Anyway, landscape generating software is a dangerous $2 today.
You can guess what I’ll be doing! 😉
I’ve discovered 3D art… Oops?
Over the past couple of weeks I–and my Paypal acccount–fell into Daz3D. Wow, is it addictive. I’ve been posting to my Instagram and to Facebook pages for the past week or so…and then I remembered my lonely little blog.
So now my new obsession is here too.
This rendering came about as wild hair and post-apoc clothes were both going cheap in the Daz shop.
So…I like to think that as a way to stay sane in an insane world, my Wasteland Warrior keeps her hair in beautiful condition. And don’t you dare mess with her products!
