"Age of Enlightenment" By David J. Reid aka "Shardz" Software used: Poser 6, Photoshop CS *~* Dedicated to my friends! *~* It's that time of year again, and it's all about breaking out the crab puffs, champagne and dancing on the tables! I usually do that anyway, but it's more fun as a group! *Laffs* Today marks my 40th birthday and I figured I'd fling a little magic around for good measure, and what better way to tear up the town than a date with Hooterella!? She's got that look in her eyes and you just know some furniture will get broken tonight! Anyway, enough silliness here...I have to put on my armor and get ready for the festivities this evening because she hates it when I'm late. She mentioned something about jousting and bobbing for lobster so I better be prepared! I'd like to thank everyone for the very kind birthday greetings and wonderful words, it really means a lot to me and makes the day that much more special! Here's looking forward to the next 40 years! *Cough* The drinks are on the house all night and the shrimp kabobs are fabulous! Help yourselves and party it up! *~* Image Notes *~* I wasn't going to upload this, but I was poked in the ribs with a stick. I'd like to thank Tina for enlightening me with some tips to get her looking better and teaching me some new tricks! The more I know, the more I need to know. C'est la vie! The majority of this was created in Photoshop, and I must say it's so much more fun than waiting six days to render a scene. Some of you might be scratching your heads with Hooterella's L'Oreal hair, and I must say that was the most fun part! It's actually a photo manipulation and was constructed piece by piece until I finally gave up. It's not perfect, but I'll be messing it up later anyway. *Laffs* This type of image isn't really my usual style, but it was all about fun and experimenting. And fun is what it's all about, right? Right! *~*~* Credits List *~*~* *~* Retail Stuff *~* Ann0314 & Prog - Hooterella (Not Available) Daz3D - Victoria V3 SR2 & Morph Packs Face_Off & Morris - HyperReal V3 (Shader Only) Sprinter - V3 Sensation for P5 (Poses - Modified) Dave71 - V3 Genie (Ring, Left Hand - Modified Textures) Wyrmmaster - 2005 Sexy Solo Spellcaster (Poses - Modified) ElorOnceDark - Malefica Outfit (Modified Textures - Not Available) Shardz - Methods of Magic (Effects Pack - Fog, Smoke, Magic) BVH - The Last Princess (Shoulder Pads, Skirt - Modified Textures) BVH - Mistress of Magic (Necklace, Thigh Guards - Modified Textures) BVH - The Princess of the Elves (Ring, Right Hand - Modified Textures) *~ Free Stuff ~* Maveris - Headpiece (Modified Textures) Thank you very much for your time and kind support, as always!
