Description
The mage goes up the the sacred high place where it is said magic force flows freely....for those like him who can channel it, and have the magic flow into them.
This image is a first for me in three ways. It is my first image to uses composited layers in Photoshop. Yes, every one of the images in my gallery to date is a single layer of the original render. This one has four layers! This image also represents the first time I have used Photoshop brushes in an image. Amazing, but true..lol. It is also my first experiment with DAZ's UberShader for skin surfaces.
I am pleased with the result of my firsts, and I hope you like it too. Many thanks to my good friend Carl (DrCarl) who taught me how to use the Alpha Channel in Photoshop (another first in this image, actually)....not a big deal for most of you, but I am a real Photoshop noobie. Thanks Carl!
The image lost some sharpnes in resizing. Please ZOOM to see the surface detail!
Thanks to all of you for your wonderful support in your comments and favs...I appreciate them so much!
Big thanks to all of you who favorited my last image, "The Cosmic Dance" which made the artcharts this week at number 5:
