Description
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
excerpt from STARMAN by David Bowie
What if David Bowie never fell to Earth and became the musical and artistic icon we know today,but instead chose to remain on his home planet at the edge of our solar system and live out his days using his chameleonic abilities to blend into his surroundings?
That was the premise behind this image,a personal project of mine,and a first attempt to create a real likeness.I spent almost four hours in Daz Studio working with various morphs to turn Michael 2 into the likeness of Bowie,then imported him into Bryce.There I textured his skin and eyes with textures from 3D Total Textures,making sure to remember to keep his trademark mismatched irises.His hair includes a phototexture of animal fur from cgtextures.com.The trunks of the bizarre palm-like tree forms are a palm trunk photo,also from cgtextures.com.All other textures are Bryce6.1 presets.The distant planet is a freebee from renderosity's own egehlin,and the sky is a custom one I created.
Thanks for viewing and all your previous comments...hope you like!
