Description
Just a character morph I came up with for V3. Can you tell I'm digging this Gaia dress? I was even able to tweak it to fit V3. I seem to be binging on mother earth images right now. I probably have a few more similar renders to get out of my system. I've also been trying new techniques in the Gimp--a fantastic free graphics program. I love freeware.
Tools: ArtMatic Pro and The Gimp for the background, rendered in Daz Studio, framed using Filter Forge, then back to the Gimp for more layering and signing. I guess that means it's Mixed Medium? I'm never sure about what categories to use here . . .

This is such a wonderful morph Cathy and what a beautiful scene you created. Love the Mother Earth theme your going with a lot :)
Lovely nature myth image, Cathy. That character is fantastic. The plants and bird really make this stand out, too. Very lush.
A wonderful character and smiling expression, showing a real talent for such things. The warm lighting on this is very well done and totally in sync with the palette and the season expressed by it. The composition to is also extremely good. Very nice work indeed.

Cathy this is a delightful scene, and I love the colours and the lighting very much. A wonderful mother earth theme, very beautiful, hugs Jane xxx
Such an incredible and most artistic scene and image! The details are truly remarkable, each and every one so perfectly suited to the rest --- she glows, absolutely, and emits such a radiant and positive energy about her. The natural earth that surrounds her is so very soothing and lovely to behold. The cyclical design in the background is most beautifully textured and presented in the composition, truly remarkable artwork!
awesome

Dear Cathy this is a beautiful scene and image !!! Hugs Karin:)
a beautiful primal image, filled with gaia-spirit and life growing all over it. If she has dreadlocks, they seem to have autumnal plants growing out of them (which is how I picture goddesses & gods of life). Her coloring is almost a peach-gold (peach having touches of blue and being very reflective), the growth around her is sumptuous, the birds are rendered very well, with the cardinal speaking to her & balanced by the flower (similar hue) which seems to be receiving its words...Your shadows are quite sensitive, and she's backed by what can only be called a mandala; better (yes, I'm getting Eastern here) the great 'wheel' that's often found behind buddhist icons. Which doesn't say that this glorious pagan earth imagery derives something from Buddhism, but rather that Buddhism derived something from the former The wheel is the wheel of Law (dharma), but here it reverts to its original state, the glow of all life...(The halo probably goes back to the same collective source...) It's quite beautiful, your background leaves (beyond the 'halo') have fine dark detail; and you show here that you know when to 'stop', you didn't push the hues towards a saturated or more bright place: You allowed the subtle peach-red hues to remain, thus bathing your image in a patina of quiet inwardness. She's a god of trees, guarding the birdsongs flourishing within their eaves: But she's wholly content within herself. Thus the hues can be delicate but still contain the world within their confines...
Looks a very delightful image my Friend...bravissimo!:DDD.Hugsxx Whylma
Another beautiful Mucha-esque image. Although the picture contains lots of elements the placement allows the eye to travel around freely to enjoy them all. I really like the way that you're using the circular fractals.
Outstanding work!!!
I am left speechless in admiration .. so I will just sit here and gaze a while longer ...
