Heavenly Metal (Slight Nudity) Photoshop, Poser December 2007
Or, "Careful with that Axe, Serafine".
Hi folks and a Happy Xmas to all.
Thought I'd throw my hat into the Poser ring, having seen a few brave souls try it here lately.
Here, I was deliberately trying to mimic the appearance of a diorama, or the box art for a non-existent model figurine, rather than a full-blown Frazetta-style painting. I used Photoshop for the finishing work and compositing of the two renders, which apart from being created in Poser were also rendered there too. I was going to put some box-art text over the image but couldn't get the right look, so I've left it off altogether.
I'm not a modeller, and have no interest in being one, despite being a real-world SFX modeller (on Red Dwarf). I am interested in aesthetics, composition and colour - I've read all the arguments for and against the use of Poser, but it has done exactly what I wanted for this image, and for me, the finished image is all important, not how you get there.
