Now try this....enable Prints and see what happens! (I want a set!)
[/ QUOTE ]
As soon as it's legal. I don't want to jeopardize my chances of working for DC by selling prints before I even work with them. But once I'm in the door, I'll be all over it. -
Looks like I need to update my 3D TA model in case I do more art of him. The tutu... the hearts on the boots... the cuteness...!

Zoinks! You're right! I'm thinking 18-21, blonde, fit... let the interviews begin! -

Having a hard time keeping up with the messages? lol
[/ QUOTE ]
Haha, yeah. Over 1,000 messages so far.
This has really juiced me up to do more. I finished my Hawkman and Emma Frost models today and have had requests for Wonder Woman and Black Canary. I'm thinking I found me a niche. -
The whole 'Daily Deviation' thing is really paying off. Zatanna has had almost 7,000 hits today alone, and almost 9,000 since Sunday when I posted it.

I actually got to talk to him through DA too. Really nice guy. Total fanboi moment. I feel like i should squeee or something....
Yeah...Total geek heaven...
[/ QUOTE ]
While you're chatting to him, send him a link to my DC works and tell him we need to talk... ;p
[/ QUOTE ]
hahahaha whats in it for me?
[/ QUOTE ]
To know you're part of history? To help a bother out? Um... free art? Depends on the results, I suppose...
If he wrote me and was like "Doug, your friend TA sent us your way and we wanna hire you," then yeah, I'd throw you some artz =) -

Holy Moses! Over 100 messages in just the last 45 minutes! And 1,200 hits since earlier this morning. I guess I'm still a DA noob at heart - I had no idea there could be this much traffic.
It's humbling.
*EDIT* - Oh, hey! They added a little 'Daily Deviation' tag on the piece. I hope that's like a badge and I can keep it past today. -

greats on daily deviation
[/ QUOTE ]
Woah! I logged on this morning and have over 400 messages on DA! You mention a 'daily deviation' - did the piece end up on a front page somewhere? -
Careful about checking Heromorph from work. It's a fairly NSFW site.

I've stalked your stuff on deviant for a long time Doug but just had to finally comment on something you've done.
It's fantastic.
[/ QUOTE ]
Thank you. About the comment, that is... not the stalking. -

I also wanted to minimize attention on her legs by reducing the amount of detail in that part of the image, thus pushing the focus to her body/face.
[/ QUOTE ]
LOL, I should have called it "Eyes Up Here!"
It didn't work.....I still stared at her legs.
[/ QUOTE ] -
I went with the hose because my Black Canary has Fishnets and I wanted to show a different treatment. I also wanted to minimize attention on her legs by reducing the amount of detail in that part of the image, thus pushing the focus to her body/face.
But if DC wants the piece, I'll add fishnets in a heartbeat =) -

...I mean clean in the sense of orderly and perfect, with no little flaws and bumps like you get from more hand-drawn stuff.)
[/ QUOTE ]
Interestingly, I think Zatanna is one of the more 'clean' characters in the DC universe. She always seems to have things under control, with perfect hair and a classy composure.
But I see what you mean. -
I've been working on this one for almost 2 weeks. Sometimes, you just gotta call a piece done and step away or 'd end up tweaking it for another week. It's mostly Poser, but I completely repainted the face because Poser faces are so lifeless.
Yeah Yeah... it's not COH. But it's a superhero, so hopefully that counts =)
Oh, and I've started on some Marvel pieces, so I'll be bouncing back and forth more.
ZATANNA in 3D -
I got nominated?!? I gotta get over there and vote for myself... I mean... uh, cool!
-
I still need to do an Invincibelle piece, someday.
Someday... -
The Legos are always such fun and fresh versions of characters! They make me wanna build RL Lego versions of my characters.
-
I refer to avoid computer-rendered hair. I have yet to find a program that can render it quickly, fluidly, and organically. I render my models bald and paint it on with Photoshop. The downside is that poorly painted hair can destroy a piece and it takes practice.
If you can get good hair from Max, I'd love to see it... and see your techniques!
Here's a cool tutorial I found on DA; TUTORIAL

Looks good! I'm looking forward to the day when I can get one of these, then get someone to run it through a 3D printer so I can get mah statue!
[/ QUOTE ]
Haha, I've been working towards the same goal! I'd love to have access to a 3D printer so I could make my own statues for my shelf.
And FrozenDeath - good work on the modelling. -

It was Metacreations for a while... then Curious Labs, then E Frontier. Now it seems to be held by a new group; MySmithMicro -

About how much does something like Poser cost and would it be decent to use as a program for myself to make references for gravity-defying poses? Is there a good cheap alternative? I want a program with very basic models that move realistically enough but can be put in the unpossible superhero sort of posing situations.
[/ QUOTE ]
Poser is usually pretty cheap... in the low hundreds, I believe. DAZ also offers a stripped down version that might even be free called 'DAZ Studio'. It's definitely Poser-Lite, but it'll give you a chance to see if you like what you see.
*EDIT* - Yep, looks like DAZ Studio is currently free. ---> LINK -

Hmm looks good. But did you make said image from scratch?
[/ QUOTE ]
Define 'from scratch'? I didn't create the model of the girl, but I posed her, rendered her, and photoshopped the piece for weeks. I created the texture on outfit from scratch, and digitally painted the vine and her hair. I modelled the leaves in MAYA, the wall in Vue Infinite, and photoshopped the Arkham letter in there.
I'm planning to put a tutorial on my site that'll show all the steps.
