Description
Sorry I've been gone a while. I lost my entire hard drive. : ( I hope to catch up on your wonderful galleries this weekend.
I did the background in Vue, everything else in Daz. Minor postwork in Corel's PSP.
Ouija board by Barb Marandola at http://damageinc3d.net/
Tarot cards (based on the Rider-Waite deck) by DraagonStorm found in the free section here at Renderosity.
Crystal ball by http://www.joes3dfantasyworlds.com/ also found in the free section at Renderosity.
The shawl uses a texture for Daz's Fortuneteller that I created using Filter Forge. I'm trying to learn how to create my own textures . . .
The Witch's Table free morphing prop is by gabrima found at ShareCG.
I also used some of the fabulous free silk shaders by WalkerofShadows on the textures found at ShareCG.
Thanks so much for all of your comments and favorites on my last post. I lost my browser a couple of weeks ago, then my entire hard drive went black. So, I'm trying to catch up here as well as retrieve all my losses. I guess my fortune would have read: Be sure to save and backup your files daily! : ) I was getting too comfortable and didn't always do that. In the meantime, have a great weekend! And of course, all comments and suggestions are always welcome here. I'm still a beginner at all of this, so, constructive criticism is appreciated.

I think you know how much I like this one dear Cathy ;o)....everything done to perfection ! Sorry about the computer woes and hope everything a-ok now !!! *** B*B & H u g s ***
Wonderful image Cathy! Lovely colours and perfect composition! 5++
wow this one is amazing...love the way the lighting is on the hair
Cathy I'm so very sorry about the problems with your hard drive and hope you can get back on track soon. The same thing has happened to me before and I know how you feel. This image is really great, and really one of your best. By the way you can get that info off the old hard drive for a minimal cost at most computer repair places.
Mmmmm what's on the cards today, Cathy? Nice work! I know you've been struggling with your equipment, but you still managed to pull out a great one - excellent composition. I like her expression... it's like "do I really see all this stuff or not?" Excellent background too for a lovely combination of tools. I see you have used the classic Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot pack and dealt the Four of Cups, the Queen of Wands and The High Priestess. Mmmmm... I'm predicting a new computer is just around the corner.
Great work, Cathy. Fantastic composition. Tarot cards, and a crystal ball.. She even have a Ouija-board, to contact the spirits. Cool detail. :) Maybe she can tell me about my destiny? #;o) Great background too.. fine VUE render. PS.. Hope the PC works out fine... i hate computer problems too.. Even if i earned a lot of money fixing computers once haha.. Maybe that's why i hate PC probs this day. #;oD Real women don't take backup's... they cry when they loose their content.;)+5
wonderful composition..wow F
The colors and lighting are superb, very well crafted!!! Excellent work!
Beautiful piece Cathy, love the colours. Excellent!
MAGIC COMPOSITION & BEAUTIFUL IMAGE :)
What a great scene ! Love the scenery and compotision, her lovely pose and those splendid textures ! Excellent !!
this is vivid and lovely... but the computer woes has me feelin for ya Cathy. Alot of the time if you just copy your software apps and finished art, and texture folders to a CD..you dont have to do a daily backup. At least thats what I do anyway.
Lovely and evocative picture. Sorry to hear about the loss of your harddrive. This happened to me back in March and I have yet to rebuild my entire runtime. You managed a great composition in spite of it all. This is great!
The moonlight is wonderful and she is so colorful, great gypsy look :)
What a fantastic creation! and aww sorry to hear about your poor hard drive! hope your pc is better now. 5+++++
wondering what she has to tell us
Fantastic color and lighting.wonderful work.
Fantastic work!!! Splendid composition and her expression!! Very nice my friend!!!
Good work. Well done. 5+
This is a great and original work. The witch appears somewhat lightened, as if she was somewhat phosphorescent, and this adds some magic to the image. Concerning your hard drive, I'm very sad about that but, unfortunately, disc drives are very sensible and unreliable devices. It's always necessary to have a full duplicate of your Documents folder (and all the applications' installers) because, even you have a very first disc marque such as Quantum, LaCie, Maxtor… they will crash one day or another. I suffered this kind of crash some years ago, my Documents disk was out in perhaps one hour, and very recently my daughter has a similar crash (and she has a laptop Mac, 200 or250 euros are asked for replacement). However, don't leave permanently the external disk connected to your computer, especially on PCs, because viruses can infect your safeguard disk too and destroy all the files… Save the new files, let me say, two times a week (depending of the number of files you create), don't replace the unchanged files because if some of them in the working disk have damaged themselves, you will replace the good ones of the saving disk by the bad ones:-((( 5+ of course!
I am going to get my desk top commputer from the shop - new motherboard. Was lucky tht they could back up the hard drive (paid in money not pain. I empathize with your crash. And - I think this is excellent work.
Beautiful image, great scene and wonderful colours !!! Excellent done !!! "V":5+++
I know what you´ve been going through cause I´m suffering from the same problem right now. Anyhow, you´ve managed to create a very nice and inspiring image. Good luck!
Really sorry about what happened to your hard drive disk! It also happened to me earlier in Spring, a quite depressing moment to experience, but all things considered it dawned on me that I could live without a computer for three weeks and it was a good feeling to know it, altogether! Wonderful composition and render !
Wow, KarmaSong. Three weeks? That is so commendable! I am too addicted to the Web and all these new toys I've discovered. I think I'd need to go on a 12 step program if I was out of a computer for that long. : ) Thanks for all the support, my friends. This problem did create a new discovery for me. My pc is 7 years old and I realized it's time to look into a Mac.
I really like this image. Great composition.
excellent, fascinating scene.....fantastic colors, well composed and conceived, congrats!
LOL, you need to join WebAddicts Anonymous! Bet there will be soon! I sprung for an external hard drive to back up all my stuff. But of course I'm about three months behind on backing up files now. I'm guessing all is well now, as you are posting again. A marvlous image to come back with, and Kudos for learning to do your own texturing! You did a marvelous job on the shawl!
Excellent work on this, very well done
Beautiful work!!Great composition!!
