Description This is an oldie - done over a year ago when I was first getting to grips with Poser 6. I still like this one - one of those rare times when I could properly light the mil environment without it looking like a cardboard theatre set!

This picture is also special to me because it was the first picture I had selected for the Daz monthly gallery; it was really nice to have my work recognised and feel that I was going in the right direction. Normally I don't upload retrospective work here, but I'd like to keep a decent sized copy of this online.

I'm discouraging critique on this because it's done and dusted now, I won't be re-opening it for adjustments.

Hope y'all had a good weekend and thanks for looking.

Have you considered doing a print of this one? Its perfect for a little girl's room. Also, what filter did you post process it with? I love that farietale look (pun intended).

To be honest wolfie - I was just playing around in photoshop with this, it's from March 2005 so I don't have the original files anymore; but I might be able to put something together for a print. Glad you liked it.

She fits the backround so well, and the soft colors look so natural. Gotta it!

I sooo nearly made a cake myself yesterday - but laziness prevailed and I bought a vanilla and chocolate luxury mini cheesecake. Not as good - but oh so much quicker!

I almost bought a cake today, too!! (completely serious)

Have I made us all suffer so much?!? >_<'

I bought shrimp instead, though, as I was very hungry. (yay, me!)

Yes - now I keep getting flashback visions of your cake - no art has had that effect on me!

It's the chocolate, which actually has an aprodesiac like effect on parts of your brain. (specifically fatty foods)

I want some more damn cake!!
(thinking about making more. >_<'

If I can find a way, and I make another, I'll literally send you a piece! (seriously) O.o
Just give me time to recover from school

whoa_ you really got my attention with this one... i have to know more about this style and technique... tell me about how you make the trees. i know you love to go for as much realism a possible, but this is fantastic... like a very old children's story book illustration come to life. this is very good. i would hope that you still remember how to get this result.... tell me you do.

I'm afraid I cant take credit for the background - it was a millenium environment thingie from Daz. I set it up within the program and spend probably hopurs trying to get the thing lit properly, but the painting isn't mine.

Glad you liked it though.

Excellent work. You came to grips with Poser 6 quickly.

Thank you; I'd used Poser 5 before - but was pretty clueless. The only decent work I did started from Poser 6 really. If you saw me with Poser 5 trying to work out how to fit hair and clothing with no concept of conforming you would probably think differently.

I'm not entirely sure now - it was long ago that I did it. I would hazzard a guess that it was some layering in photoshop with some blurring. Glad you liked it.

Ah... I use PSP so I'm not familiar with much as far as Photoshop. Xero has a bunch of free PS/PSP filters that are really awesome when doing fantasy renders... [link] I make MASSIVE use of them in postwork. lol I've tried PS but I just don't get it. lol
