Description I wasn't sure whether he was a Forgotten Realms character of an Elder Scrolls Dunmer. It was probably the white eyebrows that decided it. Although, of course, Drow elves are not comfortable above ground, those pesky wood elves (or any other kind of elf, for that matter) need to be dealt with.

Composed in DAZ Studio and rendered with Iray. Loincloth and belt buckle (from a 2D template created in Inkscape) modelled in Blender .

Yes, he's a dark elf (Drow) from Dungeons & Dragons games. So pretty supernatural.

I noticed a lot of people focus on the "bulge" in these kinds of pics and I don't really notice/focus on it.

Also, you should use tags, but not thirty million of them. I once saw a pic that had cryinggirl, cryingtears, crying, and girl, as well as bondagebound, bondagegagged, bondage, boundgirl. And that seems like it's too many. Bondage, gagged, girl, tears, crying should do the trick. What confuses me the most is bondagebound. Why is that there as opposed to simply "bondage"?

Oh, he's gorgeous! Β Β I adore drow, they're so mysterious and handsome. I love the loincloth, too! The belt buckle is a really beautiful design, it looks very elegant and elven.Β

Thanks, Luka He's perhaps a little light for a drow, but I find it very hard to do a convincing dark one. There must be a way! The belt buckle was based on an authentic British Celtic design. It was originally an exercise in using Inkscape (a free vector graphics application) and then I thought it would make a nice 3D object too.

He seems to mean business. Although one does wonder if he just came out of the water and why so little clothes were necessary...

That's probably because I generally like the body models more than the costume models!

Is it that bad? Or do you prefer underwear to everything else?

FyraNuanser In reply to Chanteur-de-Vent [2017-07-17 22:54:56 +0000 UTC]

No, I don't think it's that bad. There are some great costumes, but I don't want to hide all the amazing work that goes into the bodies either, so I feel happy to compromise. It's also due to the fact that I enjoy entertaining people and a fully dressed up character tends not to be popular. It's a style that I'm known for, and that also pleases me. I enjoy diversity, and this is my contribution to it.

Ah yes, I love this skin. I've been using it a lot lately for some D&D characters, though I've been repainting the eyebrows so they all look different. Very nicely done (and speaking of eyebrows, I'm going to assume he dyes his hair).

Thanks, Kate You caught me out on the hair colourβ€”I obviously wasn't thinking I've always found white hair very tricky to render, though. By the way I read the first part of your Edge of Thorns and I was very intrigued by it. Are your stories available in a format I could read on Kindle? I'm not very good at reading things on PC screen or smart phone.

Most of what I post here are my less refined works, but if you'd be interested in reading more, I could see if dA allows me to provide a PDF download (that's how I send stuff to my BFF to read, and I know she uses a Kindle too). Fair warning about Edge of Thorns: it is incomplete with no plans to finish, but I did write up a debriefing journal to close up all the loose ends.

I'm not particularly familiar with Iray, as I prefer to use the Reality plugin for Daz and render in LuxRender, but I know a thing or two about rendering white hair. I have quite a few characters with white hair, including many, many drow and at least one "drow" Β (a changeling, really). The trick is to give it a very slight blue tint to the spec color, which makes it appear "whiter" when rendered. Many textures for white hair are too gray, so I tend to lighten them up in Photoshop, sometimes adding a tint of blue there too.

Thanks, Kate Well I don't mind reading unfinished stories, because to me the journey is more important and endings are often very disappointing. After all, real stories in life don't have a neat ending. But if you could look into uploading pdf I'd be very grateful.

As it happens I was an early adopter of Reality, and if you look at my earlier work you will see that it was all rendered in it. I haven't done any rendering at all for about a year, but I was thinking of re-visiting Reality for my come back (if it ever happens!). Thanks for the tips on the hair

It doesn't look like I have a way to share pdfs, alas. Perhaps try to convert the page itself? There are a few good virtual printers (Cute PDF comes to mind) that allow you to print as a pdf, so that may be a possibility.

Good luck with the hair! And if anything, just experiment. A little trial and error is how I figured it out.

Not to worry, Kate. I do quite a bit of document creation as part of my job (which also means I have access to the tools) so I'm sure I can sort something out.

Pesky wood elves ... well, sometimes even one of the few Good drow (for example, this one: diogenes-von-wien.deviantart.c… ; by the way, the first picture shows him how he came to the surface) is tempted to use the word. Rhylzine needed about twenty years to have them realse that he was an exception of the Rule of Evil Drow, and that included participating saving a whole large tribe of wood elves from a terrible fate and the the whole of Daggerdale from another.

As a drow, you need patience with surface elves,, one way or another.

In any case:

Thanks, Robert Thanks for sharing your character Rhylzine, I really like him and the story of saving the wood elves. I don't see any reason why there should not be good drow. I can't believe that any race can entirely evil.

There probably isn't

It was much fun to play his change from a downright emo (from abuse, sexual and otherwise) to the mostly happy champion of his goddess, Eilsitraee, and her priestess, Umrae, who is his life partner. It's unlikely that I will ever play him again, but he's now at level 23. Next level demigod or so

I'm perfectly happy for him to be dunmer. They are my favourite race in TES, especially in Morrowind (which I've spent several hundred hours playing), despite their incredible rudeness.

Thanks, Jean-Marc You do some very impressive large scale work (something that I'm not very good at), is it Vue that you use?

jmb200960 In reply to FyraNuanser [2017-06-14 23:24:08 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I use Vue, it seems better for me to make large scenes and I prefer the renderΒ  of the Vue engine to the one of Poser. A lot of people in 3D made close up of characters, but if you are not good at large scene (maybe you should try), I for myself am not good for close up. Imperfect textures andΒ  expressions, mostly.

FyraNuanser In reply to jmb200960 [2017-06-16 00:07:35 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I agree. Even though I have never used it, the renders I've seen show me that Vue is clearly superior for scenes of a larger scope. I think it's good that we artists have our own preferences and strengths and weaknesses as this leads to diversity. My favourited artworks are almost always in a medium or style that is very different to my own.
