VANGUARD LEAGUE in 3D (Poser fun)


BluShield

 

Posted

Several months ago, I accepted a commission from the "Vanguard League", a supergroup located on my own home server of Victory. This piece was a real challenge and took a lot longer than I anticipated, but I'm very happy with the final results. As usual, I'm linking two different versions of the piece... one that shows the entire thing, and one that shows close-ups of the characters to demonstrate the detail level. The entire piece is 200 dpi and measures 26 " x 22".

I would like to make a respectful request of the mods; please allow this to exist in both Fan Art and Victory since it's fan art of Victory's heroes. Thank you =)

The thing I really love about Shuler's poser art is the amount of "life" he's able to put in the faces of the characters.

.......

I just drooled all over my keyboard! Great work DJ!

Hey DJ! This is great work! I'm working on two group pieces myself and man I know the composition can get tricky sometimes. All the work you put behind this is definitely worth it though, especially all the facial details.

Jaw dropped. I want one! Heck I want all the elements! Heck I want poser 7! DJ!!!! Do my toons in 3D, please!!!!!

Seriously, DJ, we need to get together so I can get group commishes from you. I would really like to get my toons in 3D. I've only got Poser 4 and I'm not the best at creating the costume pieces I'd need to make all my characters. Even if I could get the elements from you, I would be totally grateful.

No they ain't. Thank heavens for freebies and the PC membership....

Amazing piece, they get better and better. This one eclipses all with the amount of Heroes in it and the detail.

The faces in the detail shot are pretty amazing. Great stuff.

Jeez Louise Doug, what did you do on your time away from the Forums -- practice? These characters are stunning in the level of detail and realism.

Good to see you back!
