Description
First in a series of several featuring Marvel's Illyana Rasputin, AKA Magik. Pity she's dead now, she was awesome.
The helm was modelled for me to use by the great Swidhelm. I did the paldrons myself that didn't suck too bad, but the soulsword .. oh my god, I messed it up. AND I was only altering someone else's sword at the hilt (IE I didn't model the blade or handle, just the crappy looking crap)
I am *NOT* a modeller. This is what it's supposed to look like:

Ugh .. advice as to not suck so bad???
Also, any advice on getting the metallics right in bryce? I was going for more of a darker look here, but I'd like to acieve the bright shiny looking metal as featured in those comic book images in future images.
Thanks in advance!

That looks frikkin awsome if you ask me! Sweet, and a very dark image. Awsome!
Great character, well done!
Fantastic Image!Love it!
Dood! She is my number one fave Marvel character, I cannot wait 4 the rest of the images, and I might create a couple cuz that is awesome idea. Great pic by the by...
Oh very, very cool... I do like this!!!!
Nicely Done!
Dark indeed, but I love it! Great work! - Matt
Looks fantastic! Very cool image. I like the sword ;-)
I bet she ranks pretty high on the list of people you don't want to meet in a dark alley... Looking forward to the updated version ;)
Amazing work!
Original and wonderful!!!!
Not familiar with the character, but this image is very cool. Great work.
Awesome work!!!!! ^_^
Fantastic created fantasy scene! Her outfit looks really spectacular! Bravo!!!
WoW!!! Extra image !!!
Great composition. Nice character. I like that glow on her eyes. For a very metallic feel in Bryce, set Specularity, Metallicity, Reflection and Refraction to 100. If you want the metal to have a bluish tone. Just choose light blue colour on the Diffuse. I hope this helps.
She was a sad and intriguing character. It was a shame they killed her off. Awesome render!
Excellent work!!!!
