Thanks for your well wishes... I forgot to upload this one (that is one of my favorites) ... my muse is running me ragged TRYING to waylay my anxiety attacks... I didn't explain... with my limited diet due to my FM/IBS, and my system being so "acidic" my teeth have been (unknown to me till my 2 eye teeth broke off) deteriorating steadily for years... so many of the cavities are "this far" from hitting the nerve NOW ...and with the fact I am unable to change my diet, the rest will keep getting worse... so the best option (and actually the least stress!!) is to have them all out at one time, and then have dentures made. I already eat VERY mushy foods for my diet, I can puree my chicken meat... so while an adjustment, and occasional use of dentures are not fun, it's the best way to go... I just never have been "put under" this long.... my oral surgeon is one of the best...and I just have to TRY and be brave...not easy when I basically have "PTSD" from a frightening childhood of illness and miss-diagnoses by the medical profession.... so it's VERY hard for me to just "not worry".... my "worry" is sort of "built in".... but I'm doing the best I can, talking to friends, asking for help.... and I'll get through this...and get past it..... The surgery is not till the end of Sept. That's as soon as they could book both the special anesthesiologist who has to come in, to let my surgeon do his job, and not worry about that part too... I like the surgeon, his staff...and I trust his judgment... yet it's all just "scary" for me.... SO - back to art..... ! Dawn, as Elisa as the "Liger Centaur" (the second I saw those Fantasy Kitty Ponies, I had this in mind, putting her on the space station was my muse's inspiration after I had rendered her. Giving her two shadows seemed the right thing, being the space station is well lit, but the moon shines behind her. Shadows were created simply by duplicating her, zeroing out all color, plus turning "light - dark" all the way black.... then add blur, use "Edit: distort" to pull the shadows in the directions I wanted them. (this is how I created my freebie cast shadow action). I also "tinted" her for the blue lighting/look of the background. To do this I selected her (and bird), created a new layer, filled with the blue color, and lowered the opacity to about 13%... This helps set her IN the scene! She wears Propschick's Rhayvaen Hair. Her clothes are: The Seraph outfit by RPublishing & Rhiannon (with the thong invisible, so only the belt remains!) and Kaleya's Guardian texture set for it. (Rendo) This outfit fits Dawn SO WELL, I often go back to it for my centaurs.... my idea to use the thong's belt was another inspiration during the process. :-) She holds the spear from Ken1171's Jungle Weapons pack (with spear turned in such a way as to make the spear head look like a dangerous point!) (HiveWire) HiveWire horse body with Rae's Fantasy Kitty Pony "Liger" texture for it. (HiveWire) Her companion is Songbird Remix Ken Gilliland's African Goshawk with jesses trailing from HiveWire's Dusk Falconry Gear Background is Sveva's Sci Fi "3067" set.
