It was a lot of fun doing these pictures. Lose the bow and quiver from yesterday ... keep the rest of the costume (the strappy sandals from the Horizon Redux set, the kirtle from the Wood God set, and the Evangelique hair. Oh, and the forearm guard from the Horizon Redux set, and the background is still the Backgrounds Made Easy set -- which is a godsend. Worth five times its value, at least to like likes of me, doing this kind of work...
Then, change the kirtle to red, change the hair to pale straw gold, and reset the lights. The hardest part (and it's not exactly hard) is setting the hair to lie properly around the shoulders when the character moves. The hair has to sort of float around as he moves. remember, also, this is a style designed to fit Victoria, not Michael 4, so -- as I explained yesterday -- you can't "fit the hair to the model" at all. You have to fit the model to the hair!
Right now, I'd rather like to have this barbarian meet up with the Vampire Amadeus. Now, who would eat whom alive?! If I get the time later today, I'll set that up, see what happens. Now, do I take Amadeus out of the Itaian Renaissance and plunk him back into the Hyborean Age, or do I have the Barbarian (he needs a name) take a trip on the Tardis and blunder into the Italian Renaissance? Decisions, decisions!
As a final note, the Amadeus render from the other day have been fully enhanced ... here's my favorite from the original series of renders:
