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?

Awesome colors in the effects and dramatic lighting and posing!!!
cool fantasy action scene !!! her costume is very sexy :)
Great looking picture!
Just stunning. Outstanding. It blows me away.
Nice work on the textures. I find that clothing and some hair doesn't always render properly in Vue and can be a pain to fix. Your magic effects are amazing, as always!
Awesome character, texturing and effects. Your renders are superb.
