When I began learning how to create and render images, I decided to create one specific character that would evolve as I learned new techniques. Brayden began as an avatar in the MMORPG, Star Wars Galaxies. I have played this c haracter in this game for over 5 years now, and he has also become a central figure in several stand alone stories and is currently a central figure in a book series I am working on. Body and facial texture are custom morphs created by me. Throughout my writing career, (such as it is), I have always had a few, very special characters whom I have come to enjoy, and now, being able to create them visually has become an unexpectedly rewarding bonus along with everything I have learned about lighting, composition, and image creation. As he has in my stories, visually, Brayden has gone through many changes as he has evolved from a rough character, (little more than Michael 4 Base with poorly fitting hair), to the image you see now. I can finally say that I have accomplished bringing this favorite creation of mine into a visual medium and he has become a permanent base model now, in my runtime. Expect to see Brayden, (and his twin brother, Michas), in many more images to come. Texture and tatoos are from .Artemis.'s "Windrider for M4" Hair is Neftis's "Slick Hair", from DaZ Outfit is Nightworld's "Veteran War Dog" with modified textures. As always, Thanks for looking.
