This is an older portrait I couldn't let go of. I kept working at it and finally decided it was time to move on. It has a water theme again. I can't seem to get past that. I created the background in Bryce and then rendered it in Daz. Some tweaking in Paintshop Pro because I can't resist playing with filters. I'm not a purist as you may have guessed by now, and I love all the tools available to us, and want to learn as many as I can. Vue and Poser and Painter books are all stacked on my bed and I've downloaded as many fractal tutorials as I could find. It's like I can't learn this all fast enough! That's how much you all inspire me to grow. Daz: V3, wet hair by Valea, Lisa's botanicals. my texture for the morphing startlet dress Constructive criticism is always welcome here. That's how I learn.
