It's on my wish list, and when I get it, I'll come back to Icarus, here, and add the wings onto him!
Update: got the wings some time later, and have used them many times. They look fantastic when overpainted in Photoshop. For example, this image from 2012:
...uh, end of update!
In the meantime, I had a whole lot of fun with the concept of a model in freefall, so I did a few more renders ... I honestly couldn't pick just one, so I mounted them all, and here's the lot, for your consideration. You choose!
Does anyone remember the scene in Death's Head -- actually, it was an Angel fantasy, during Stone's really whacked-out trip -- where he fantasized Jarrat with green skin and wings, and they're flying, "living flight," and doing all sorts of things at cloud level...! Looking at this series of renders (after they were done, mind you!) makes me think of that. And grin.
Anyway -- these are just a series of beauty shots today, because I'm swamped, overloaded, buried, overwhelmed, with work and I don't have time to write a lot. You're never going to believe this, but the images are the quick part! Blogging, writing a good-sized post, takes longer than making the images. And I know that sounds impossible, but it's absolutely true.
So I'll be back tomorrow with something hopefully a lot more coherent, and right now I just have to race off back to work before somebody comes after me with a large blunt object.

***Posted by MK because the internet is AWOL. Intermittent crap. Be warned, guys: our connection is going to be in and out for a week or two, as of this point: Telstra (or whatever) is doing a lot of work on the landlines in this area. And as you know, if you've been looking at the "poster notes" on these journal entries in my looooong adventure through the world of CG, 3D and digital, even at the best of times we can find ourselves with dialup speeds in this area. This is why MK has been making many posts for me, since Day One -- Keegan has the fast connection, not me! (This should change in the near future, when the cables or whatever are updated, and they stop working on them. At least, s'wot Telstra promises.) Credit where it's due: this blog would not have been possible without the support of a pal with decent internet. Because ours sucks. We moved into this area about six months before I got into Studio and blogging about it, and I almost quit right there: DAYS to download something from the DAZ store, at one point. Argh. Thank gods for friends when you need 'em!
