Description
I didn't have much time to work on a render today, though I do have a new one cooking.
In the meantime, I was looking through the archive, and found this one from October of last year. I used it to practice a little post work. Nothing major, just a filter applied. I used "Sketchy - Toon Edge and Art Style Shaders" inside Daz studio to give it that odd black linining effect. In GiMP I used the "Beautify" plugin to apply a "Gothic" filter. So often a filter/tool will be names for something that it's rubbish at. Like, who uses a wrench on a monkey, anyway? In this case, the "Gothic" setting did exactly what I wanted. I could probably fiddle with it some more, but then again half the art of art is knowing when to put down the brush/pen/mouse/etc.
The render that's cooking now is showing off a great produce found right here on Renderosity, as well as being a bit of shameless self promotion as it features a character from my first book. I can't hardly wait to show you!

A totally rad image! Most excellent presentation work. I thought I wanted to see the movie 'The Abyss' but after viewing a couple trailers, I decided against it.
The Abyss is a great film. Especially if you can find the Director's Cut. I actually consider it to be one of the best films ever made.
I got a list of films I consider "perfect." The Abyss definitely fits the bill!
Thanks for commenting. Always a pleasure. (Really, go watch The Abyss!)
Looks great, I love the skin texture look you did.
Thank you.
Great film and great figure, shes all cracked up over it. 5+

Fascinating skin effect, the elbow looks flaked off. Great stuff.

Fascinating skin texture, cool work
Thank you. Now that I think about it, I got to go in and tag shanasoulmate. The base is "Monster Bride" but I added to it from one of their "scarred" collections.
Very dark, very creepy...but also very cool at the same time.....!!

Thank you. Always glad to bring a little joy, if I can.
Man, this has such a delightfully dark and sinister feel - you really nailed it, my friend! Brrrr.... (turns on more lights...)
Thank you. That is so kind. I'm glad you like it. Take it easy, now that your tiling is done.

Thank you. Success! I'm glad you like it.Or perhaps now that you've looked into the Abyss you're having strange dreams... ;) (Just being cheeky)
