Very nice collection VexXxa

Wow Doug's paint-overs are getting better and better everytime I see them. Great catch VexXxa.

P.S. out of curiosity why aren't her hair, horns and wings purple (or her eyes blacked out for that matter) is this an alt costume perhaps?
Also aren't Positron's power fx green? Color inconsistencies aside I really like the look of the piece.

Oh and he forgot to color in one part of her leg... it's on her left (the bent one) thigh in the mesh area one piece is white instead of being
skin tone like the rest... oh and also...

*see's the look on Vex's face, clamps hand over mouth and runs away leaving further nits unpicked*

That white part on her leg is a highlight. It's consistent with the other highlighted areas from the render.

Hmmm I could almost see that except that it's only the skin that is whited out...
the black in the immediate vicinity and further up the thigh is pure black with no equally bright highlight on it.

Also it's not in the shape of the highlight running along the surface (looks twice as wide as the shine running up
from her knee) it's in the shape of the gaps in the fabric where you should see some skin.
Might just be the way I see it though it could indeed be a highlight that is just
too bright and so stands out and draws attention to itself.

It's typical of a blown out highlight that you get from a 3d render with directional lighting. The reason the black is also not blown out, I'm assuming, is that he painted the black in post. The shape of the highlight is probably distorted as well because of the deformation of the leg geometry where the bend is taking place.

Pretty sure all the above falls under artistic license. Most importantly, if VexXxa likes it (and since she was the client) that pretty much trumps all other criteria and "nit-picks". FD's summary of the rendering process covers the highlight argument pretty well imo. Regardless, like all collectors who post their prized possessions, I have to question the motive behind pointing out negatives on pieces that are clearly "done" as it seems to passively dig the collector's aesthetics as well as the artist'. On a side note, power colors are changeable now so maybe Posi wanted to try something new out and you saw it here first. Gratz' again on this high-quality image Vex!

Thank you everyone who liked Shuler's rendition of my toon. I totally love it and will be having it posterized so that I can hang it on the wall by my computer where I will see it every day! (lucky me!)

As for the nit pickiness of the piece, I would suggest making those comments directly to Shuler on his DA page or his website since he is the only one who can explainify that section of the piece that you find fault with.

And may I suggest that if people find fault with other people's commissioned pieces, that the matter should be taken up with the artist and not the collector. Doesn't seem right that a collector get bashed for an artist's work...IMO.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I think if someone's happy with the art they get, who am I to rain on their parade? I'll just grab a musical instrument and march right with them!

Actually that's an older piece and Foo's probably just got his panties bunched that Vex hadn't posted it yet :P

Ok, no idea where this came from but I found it blowing around in the street and being the enviromentalist that I am I picked it up to recycle... Then thought I'd torture you with it first!


((sorry bout this...))

Self port....?? Oh no no no no no. I am not the artist, or whatever you'd call someone who did that. Like I said, it was found in the street, made by someone wanting to remain anonymous, and the money obviously didn't know how to hold the pencil correctly....

Ohhhh no no nooooo!! It has your paw prints alll over it!!

I need to know where I can find animated gifs for every occasion. Like, if I said, "My dog learned how to talk today," Vexxxa would show up with an animated gif perfect for the situation.

I need to learn this skill.
