Description
Hello everyone and thanks for viewing my image.
This is one of those pictures that just kept on growing as I put it together...
I posed the Seraphim character in Poser 7, then imported her into a Vue scene I'd done for a previous picture.
I wasn't satisfied with how the costume rendered in Vue, so I played around using different materials for the costume parts. I used a glowing material on the Seraphim costume's wings, and it made the hair look a bit strange, but since the final render took about 3 1/2 hours, I couldn't easily fix it.
In Photoshop I added some magic effects, then thought, there should be something on the other side of the picture. I went back to Poser, rendered another V4 character, then "ghosted her up" in Photoshop.
As always, I'd love to hear what you think and any suggestions to make it better, especially on the ghost effect (I'm still not completely happy with how she turned out).
Thanks, and have a great day,
Tom

PS -- Thanks for all your comments so far. had a great idea about blurring out some of the noise in the right character's hair, and asked me to work on the shadows, and I put in the fixes. Now what do you think?

Great one here Tom, you really are teh master of effects my friend
Nice effects and lighting on this, very cool piece. Maybe a more dynamic pov might have better captured the epic feel of the scene, but all in all nicely done

Excellent!!! Wonderful effects and scene.
The ghost and effects really turned out fabulous Tom, and you did great with the closing textures and background setting. Fantastic work my friend!
Incredible! My only suggestion would be to see if you can get the sorceress' shadow on the ground. Otherwise wonderful!

This really looks great. Much better than I could do in any program. :)
Very nice scene. Great lighting and post work! Really well done.
The ghost effect looks fantastic, very well done and I honestly wouldn't have a clue where to begin to get an effect like that. The hair of the Seraphim looks a little noisy though and could use some blurring. All in all a really good image Tom, I love the poses.
