You shall not pass!

 


What else could the picture possibly be called? This is Dae for G8M, wearing the Axarra Headdress, with a couple of old props re-re-resurfaced for Iray ... a gold spotlight on the left, a soft blue point light to stage right ... I cranked a lot of metallicity into the horns on the headdress; and the backdrop was painted as a stand-alone, worked up from three photos. Nice! Also...


"Rhapsody in Blue." This one was dropped to monochrome and colourized, then some surface blur was applied and the colours tweaked. It's a lovely portrait to begin with, and this version -- to me -- is more striking than the original render; but I'll leave it to you to make up your own mind. It's worth mentioning that this is Victoria 4, not a Genesis character; the hair is a G8M hairdo which can easily be jockeyed into place and parented on:


That's all for now! It's late, and ... yaaaawn! More soon.
