Description
Poser 10
Postwork in Photoshop
DAZ Victoria 4
Character/Texture: Danae – Rio & Dublin
Over a long year since last posting here. Found myself on this enforced break, due both to work related reasons and a need to reflect and assess my quality of artwork.
Have been using the intervening time, to therefore study many improvement techniques in both Poser and Photoshop. Here is the first of several project WIP’s completed over this period.
Poser 10 now has some excellent features and improvements. The ongoing use of SSS, IDL and emitter lighting when combined with material shader nodes has been invaluable in taking a step nearer to realism. I would highly recommend studying the forum threads on Poser lighting and supporting techniques in the Renderosity forums. Particularly those of Bagginsbill and Carodan in this respect.
Still working on getting the best out of transmapped hair, so post-worked it here as a parallel Photoshop exercise. Credit to Kelly Johnson at Elfwood, for a truly informative tutorial, and helping to substantially improve my technique in this area.
With sincere thanks as always, to all who continued to view my gallery in my absence.

HEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY DEANE! So GOOD to see a post from you! A YEAR? WOW! I knew it had been a long time but I didn't realize it had been THAT long. And what a way to come BACK! This portrait is AWESOME! VERY PRETTY! It looks so close to being a photo that I can't spot what you Photoshopped. A lovely gal and GORGEOUS portrait! Welcome back. I hope to see more posts from you.

Beautiful.
Amazing work, welcome back. Instant fav.
Marvelous portrait. Splendid work!!
Pretty damn good Deane! That is a very good looking render of a very good looking girl. Her skin really has that soft, "porous" look that makes it lifelike, rather than just that plastic, hard look most of us get. Keep going!
splendid portrait. I like the light, texture and render. Nice settings on the hair too. Excellent work

The best portrait, perfect.
Truly remarkable. Something for the rest of us to strive for.
Stunning work.
She is really beautiful!
Wonderful portrait!
Your eye has only refined with time, Deane: this is a masterpiece. You've taken the new technology offered by Poser to a subtle, sensitive level, painting your figure with an accurate, yet benevolent brush. You have mastered the art of observation, of appreciation of the character. And this work is a testament of that art.
This is absolutely gorgeous! Excellent work.
Wow stunning realism hope to see more of your work! Cathy xoxoxo

Impressiona sempre alguém com seu talento, que produz uma coleção de produtos com extremo realismo e continua incessantemente na busca de uma arte maior. Um soberbo trabalho meu amigo, que traz na iluminação tênue o realismo impressionante, aplausos (5)
