Description
The fourth member of our Sky Pirate crew, Daisy! She's big, she's strong, and she's got a heart of gold.
You see, back in '98 or '99, I lived well outside of town and had no friends. But I wanted to play D&D. So I practiced making characters. I did not know that I could put the rolled scores anywhere I wanted. I just rolled out stats in order. I think it was a 2nd edition book I was working out of.
Anyway, Daisy was born sometime around then. She's an orc Barbarian. She had a 7 intelligence. And an 18 Wisdom. Decent Strength and Con. The book said you wanted good strength and con for barbarian, so I rolled sets until I had one with decent strength and con.
Point is, I decided that she was super sweet. Generally thinks people should get along. Never realizes when she's being insulted. But if you did manage to make her angry...
Essentially Ive had a version of this character as an NPC in various games I've run, including early versions of the system I've been buidling.
And now, naturally, she's the Strong Arm on the Sky Pirate crew. (Strong Arm being a class I'm building for the game.)
When she says that she doesn't want to have to throw you overboard, it's because she would actually feel awful about it.
The Captain tolerates her "softness." Even going out of her way to protect her. Captain Emeline rescued her from a slave galley, and the "big dumb orc" has been a part of the crew ever since. She's one of only two people allowed to touch the Captain. (The other being Griffen, though for other reasons.)
For fighting, she prefers to use her fists if she can't just pick up the troublemaker and give them a shake. Followed by a hug.
So. The model is Asthahan for Genesis 3 Female by guaiamustudio Picked her up in the clearance sale. How could I resist? I also picked up the Rogue outfit by Exeter. She ended up with the hat, the boots, and the pants. I retextured the pants. I love the boots. The hat is great. The top... It didn't want to cooperate. In fact, no shirt wanted to the cooperate. I found something that worked, though! (Seriously, if you get this figure, be sure you have Fit Control for Genesis 3.
Top is Wicked Way by Bobbie25, Daz 3D, Umblefugly, and Anna Benjamin, with everything but the corset hidden. Got to show off her guns!
Got her on an airship, got a backdrop, with the y-axis dropped way down. And tower ruins to help sell the height. And then a fog layer. And then a cat because it was missing something. The fog layer is a different one than I've used in the past, (Distance Fog, instead of Iray Storm) and I think that contributed to a 24-hour render time. I ended it at 50%. Render time for the previous three crew members was less than 6 hours COMBINED, lol.
I like it. I should note that I used Mesh Grabber to get her ears to fit under the hat, and then I pulled her face up a bit because I was super tired. But I like the results. If I put her with a smile, it looks like she's snarling. Which works for Daisy.
I got the engineer next, and...
I posted my picture of the Captain to a discord, and got a request for a commission! I decided to take a crack at it. So I've got to get that done. It's not even fantasy/pirate!

Looks like the daughter of the Jolly Green Giant! How happy she looks. A face of contentment! Lovely work!
LyleAryn
Daisy is generally a happy idiot. I think the new players will like her. Thank you for the comment!

She looks nice, she got some good ... arguments.;-) Nice to see they have a ship's cat.
LyleAryn
Thanks! Got to keep ahead of them rats, even riding the thermals. Have a great Sunday.

I assume the cat owns her (it' never the other way round with cats!)...
Excellent image, I like the smile, she does look warm and rather... cuddly, without looking like a pushover.
I don't think the grain that shows detracts from it at all, as the focus is clearly on your character; that does seem a rather long render time for this. Bizarre how that happens sometimes, isn't it?
LyleAryn
The mysteries of Daz Studio. I think it worked out, but now I'll be constantly wondering why.
Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated

Thank you, my dude! You rock.

Go Green ! Awesomeness : )

I rather like her skin tone. It seemed "too hreen" in viewport, but it sure rendered up nice!

Stunning image!
LyleAryn
Thanks, Deva.

Indeed strong arms, but where are her Teeth?? Funny looking image, I wish you a nice Sunday evening!
LyleAryn
I a tually had an open-mouth smile on her for a bit but it was very frightening! There's some decent chompers in there. I decided on this so in the portrait, she would seem friendly.
Her primary role on the ship is to look tough, and with any other expression, that's not hard at all.

Interesting character design....another great addition....lovely work and scene...!
LyleAryn
Thank you. I think I've got to do a classic "bikini edition" of all the pirate ladies. Could be fun. I picture Daisy just skinny-dipping with glee.
adrie
Fantastic work on this image, my friend.
LyleAryn
Thank you. That's very kind. You take care of yourself, now. Don't make me send the orc...

Wonderful character and a fine backstory. It is oh so true how working on a character, they can develop a personality. I know because one of my most unsavory characters has had a recent run-in with his softer side A very well constructed render. I am still trying to figure out render times. Well all of mine are to long now due to machines age and no GPU support. That will change shortly.
LyleAryn
I dream of the 3080 titan...
Thanks for stopping in and having a look. Always a pleasure.

Wonderful character, Lyle! I never did play D&D but my husband did in his childhood also, so vicariously this is nostalgic for me. Even so, the figure is great and really compelling and I am drawn into her story. :)
LyleAryn
Thank you. That's really sweet of you. You're lovely, truly you are.
Belit
I love Green Girls, mine come from a different Galaxy ... This one is a cutie as well. Nice work.
LyleAryn
I think she's still out of this world. Thank you!
starship64
Fantastic character! This is getting to be quite a fascinating and diverse crew.
LyleAryn
Indeed! Thanks for looking. Sophita the engineer is next. Got her rendering now.
dakotajaroo
cute skin texture, beautiful character
LyleAryn
Thank you. I rather like it myself. Very richly colored, and it doesn't look "weird" or too otherworldly. I'd recommend the character for the skin texture alone.
miwi
Fantastic portrait, wonderful mysterious character, excellent done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LyleAryn
Thanks a bunch, Mike. You try to keep cool today, you hear?
Radar_rad-dude
Very interesting character and back story! Fantastic viewing and reading!
LyleAryn
Thank you. I can hardly wait to do some group shots. I can picture her grinning hugely, clutching Penelope and Sophita to her bosom. Being all "Group hug, group hug!"
RodS
Aw, she's so adorable! Love her wonderful green skin, and her fun, sweet, and charming expression. Yeah, if someone makes her mad, he probably deserves whatever she dishes out.
Excellent work on her, my friend!
LyleAryn
Thank you! I'm so glad people are liking her. She's great. Every story of sky pirates needs a sweetheart, right?
