Sat, Oct 07, 2023Thanks for commenting! Much appreciated.! At the moment I only get "tests" done: checking on the stuff that managed to end up in my shopping basket. Pressed for time until this year is over, but to me this one came out quite well.
Wow - this is fantastic. Powerful with a strong, authentic actress. The lighting and camera angle are perfectly arranged. Respect!

Fantastic, nice brushwork, love the green, it gives it that earthy spirit guide feeling.
And the skulls in the smoke, top notch

Sun, Oct 15, 2023The skulls are free PS Brushes found on DA by loverboy89, thr rest is a plain Daz render. Glad you like it.
I saw this on DA and thought it was AI work.. It's THAT damn dope and out of the box from a regular looking Daz render. Good work, my god.

Sun, Dec 31, 2023Thanks, glad you like it. If I use AI you'll be able to see that in the blurb and/or the title.
Wishing you a very happy, healthy and creative 2024!

Fri, Jun 13, 2025Hi, all my renders are created in Daz, using stuff from DAZ, Renderhub and Renderosity. This is true for the characters, but also the props and the backgrounds. I tend to use a standard figure as a base (mind you, I have about 150 of each generation 3, 8 and 9) but alter their shape by mixing or using additional morphs within DAZ (if you like cubby characters, HevieState3d here does good morphs, also AGD has nice characters as well as Feng (DAZ) for older persons). I also change the skin quite often (using those by TRX for GN9 or Exnem -- DAZ - for G8). I do not use Blender or any other software.
Once rendered I use verious softwares for postworking: mainly Photoshop (to add emissive lights, fog, or smoke, as in this render), and I tweak lighting with NikCollection (the old, free version), ON1 and Luminar AI (which is NOT - despite its name - an AI generator, but does a lot of things easier than Photoshop). For flares and magic effects in fantasy renders and light from windows I have just discovered Boris FX Optics.
This and about 15 years of tinkering with DAZ is all I do.

Fri, Jun 13, 2025... uhmmm and just because I have had some bad experiences over at DA: I do not sell my stuff, don't take comissions and do not partake in any activity concering NFT or "projects" paid or unpaid. justsaying to avoid unnecessary irritation.
