Description
I did post this image in the Poser Gallery but since sky, lighting and rendering was done in Bryce5 I thought posting it here as well appropriated.
Hair and beard were painted in Photoshop using the eye-candy 4000 filter for maximum effect (a technique learnt from Linwhite's tutorial)
This is the very first time I've used that hairpainting technique and must say that I am well pleased with the result!!!!
Thanks for viewing, comments welcome,
Pierre
