Description
Just playing around with the materials room in Poser last night and this is what I ended up with. Didn’t actually plan to have poor old Isimud get his butt burned this way and didn’t even really plan for this image to be part of the story line. But with a little bit of help from good old PSP I think it kinda works. What do ya all think?
Isimud, the royal messenger and vizier to Enki, God of Wisdom, has been ordered to enter the Underworld and secure the release of Ishtar, Goddess of Love and War. Ereshkigal, Goddess of the Underworld, has arranged a rather warm welcome for her royal visitor!
“No worries, I may be feeling the heat but I’m a cool cat, and besides, they're not supposed to shoot the messenger, right? Oh wait a minute that idea wasn’t invented until the 20th century! I’m many millennia too early! Oh Damn. Oh well, I've got diplomatic immunity so even Ereshkigal can’t keep me here. Now where’d I put my darn water bottle?”
The heat is certainly on for poor old Isimud. He hasn’t even started talking with Ereshkigal and already he’s getting his butt burned! What are the chances that he is going to get Ereshkigal to cough up her sister; will the Queen of Darkness see the light and be reasonable about it? By now we should all know that Ereshkigal has a very strict sense of what is reasonable and what is not. We’ll just have to wait and see.

I agree with Dave (Heathcroft) that technically speaking, this s the best you've done. Isimud looks amazing, the skin is very realistic and the wet sheen perfectly achieved. There is also a certain soulfulness to his pose and expression. I don't know how to describe it but it really works! Well done.
Wonderful portrait and nice work on textures and light. His eyes very hypnotising and even looking so creepy and evil , i kind of like the calmness on his wise face.
Great character, wonderful fire effects.
This is just a fab, dear Roxy !!! A beautiful render and a wonderful character !!! 5******** Hugs:):):)
I love it !! Lighting, texture, clarity of the render and character are all superb...BRAVO !
fantastice creation - an excellent character. the mist/smoke is especially well done
I love the expression in his face. Be he is cold - poor thing needs some exercise I guess :-)
WOW! What a caracter ... Wonderful picture. I love it!
Actually, divine protection for messengers is a very old idea, dating back to Babylonian times. So, you were right the first time, lol. Love the sheen on Isimud's skin, as well as the flame FX. You did a superb job on his eyes and expression, too. He looks pensive and apprehensive at the same time. You can practically feel the heat coming from this image!
lol SOme very funny commentary! As to the image, he's one creepy looking character! That time spent in the materials room sure paid off... the textures and materials look great! He's got a nice sweaty dampness to him. Well done.
