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’ πŸ˜‰

Background is maniped from a stock bought from Depositshotos. Grumpy Blue is mine πŸ™‚

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*.Β 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 πŸ˜‰

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! πŸ˜‰
