wow David, this is another outstanding one dear.... that lightning is terrific.... Excellent work! ;)
Your fires look awesome...love the postworking and your character ROCKS!!!**
I don't know why, but for me, this is simply one of your best David!!! You have really an unique style and your combination of many products is so well done. Magnific atmosphere here. The blue sky in contrast with the dark of the scene is so excellent!!! Well MAGNIFIC in every way!!! Bravo and HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO YOU!!!
WOW! What a splendid image and dedications!!! Love those skull balls!! The whole image must have taken forever to create..so much beautiful detail here!! Love the purple and orange color contrast you got going on here!! Excellent work!!!
An elaborate and detail filled masterpiece! The lighting is indeed terrific and the character just gorgeous, especially for one with such a potential for evil. I looked at the other version as well and it is very cool but I think that your superb use of color really brings this one to life. Excellent image and I always like your thoughtful ramblings and dedications.
Fantastic scene and character. The compositon, pose and atmosphere is superb. Excellent work!
Looked at the other image, to be Honest I couldn`t choose which one I like the best. Whoa momma, both are Fantastic. :)0 johnny
Oh i love the colors and clarity in this image! As Eric pointed out the contrast from Sky and forground is perfect! All the little fires are making a magic atmosphere. Simply fantastic ~Uwe
WOW! This is an excellent image very nicely done work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally magnificent, and yer character and lighting is just awesome! Well done! :)
and I take it that her name is... Alice? So, where's her chalice? I love it Dave - couldn't imagine having to keep balancing 21+ lights - I'd hate to think how long this one took:) Great stuff, and best of luck with your second contest image (which is far better than the other one). cheers, Alan42
WOW this is absolutely awesome David! The lights and details are amazing.
I'm having a hard time deciding between the two. Not that I have to because you shared them both with us. I love the B/W as well as the grainy look on the other. Gives a more somber feel. But the colors in this one are so vibrant and alive!! Stupendous work!!
Killer outfit and scene!!!! ** Vote ** ;)
Wow...what a treat...2 images from you in less than a week!(doing the happy dance). Talk about working for Disney..sheesh..think you have a lock on that one! g. The alternative version of this pic equally amazing! Love the outfit and the perfect effects. That background setting is a feast for the eyes, and no one does lighting like you do. What a fabulous image. Every element is beyond exceptional. V
Why do I never get my ebot until I'm way down at the bottom...and OMG David! This is simply amazing!!! The colors and the lighting, the special FX...I'm just stunned and as soon as I shut my mouth and pick myself up off the floor I'm going to add this to my favs. The special attention paid to every little detail is just fanatstic. I have to agree with Eric, you have finally surpassed even your own talents with this one and I'm glad to hear you had FUN with it. *scrolls back up to look again and big HUG glasshoppa.
FANTASTIC Artwork, excellent use of props and lighting! A brilliant image! V
Hey man...great work. There may be a lot of lights, but they work great. As usual, your magic effects rock too. Definately a fitting tribute for Halloween. Thanks for posting, and hope you have a great holiday.
This image true testament to your amazing skills and talent with poser, I have never seen such use of intricate detail as displayed here... it is so overwhelming... yet thought provoking... from the colours to the effects to the message it creates in my mind... this has got to be the most interesting image I have seen in such a very long time... INCREDIBLE! (V)
Well david, I see you finally got your hands on hoot....lol Well she looks just fantastic. I think your version makes her look stunning. You do have a way with your girls... Love it and I 2nd everything you said, what an excellent dedi to all involved... BTW if I haven't said it, this is one of the best images you have done to date. I think you already know that I love that background... Just amazing, and everything flows so perfactly. Sorry that I could not come up with something cute or funny to say, but this just rocks. Biggest bunny hugz, and happy haunting hon....
