Description Ah... I need to come up with a better title.

Playing with some new toys and a lot of postwork. I wanted to add some pretties and got some good tips for pearl painting here [link]

This ended up being a bit of a labor of love, I really wanted to use this pose, but it does horrible things to V4's armpits, so I ended up in the cloth room covering it up with a shawl. Then spent ages deciding on the right material texture... I wont go into my faffing with lights and settings.

Thanks for looking

Mmm.. beautiful, but maybe the pearls would be better in 3D?
They look a bit flat
If they ARE 3D models, then shame on me

Phlox73 In reply to EricMor [2008-02-19 09:28:17 +0000 UTC]

Well, the problem with 3d is not getting the specific props for the most part (and my modelling is non existant!) so sadly I have to paint them.

Nice. I see you painted the pearls in? I was looking at that and thinking about some of my attempts to manipulate objects like that and imagining how hellish that would be. Good to see things from you, been missing you.

Phlox73 In reply to WickedPrince [2008-02-19 09:34:21 +0000 UTC]

I'm here - just about. It's been a hectic few weeks, but I really hope to squeeze out some more art time... maybe tonight. Thanks for missing me

The pearls were a quickie paint job, I'm never patient enough to spend to long on them
