Warped Dreams

I think you took a wrong turn somewhere, Robodude...this is a fantasy novel!

This is one of my very first pictures (my second if you're counting). I used daz's Troll, his axe, and a cyclorama background, plus the advanced lighting pack from Daz3d. In fact, I experimented with close to 30 different lighting setups before I finally decided on this one. I think the way the shadows fall gives this image a certain power, but what the hell do I know?

But da...if yumuns never existed, why are there so many statues? This is also one of my early projects, but I did a lot more work here than I did on my previous efforts. The backdrop was created with The Grimstone Contruction Kit, the view out the window with Cyclorama and one of the packages for it, I wish I could remember which. The statue of David is Daz David. I used Statuesque to get the aged copper look. The two creatures are Chupackabra from Sixus1 one of my favorite companies, particularly for creatures. They're both the same creature, actually, I simply scaled one, posed them differently and added spikes to the other.

My first attempted at an original alien. It's quite basic really. Anyone who knows me, would understand why Mighty Mouth is likely to become my trademark.

This is my favorite view of Mighty Mouth. I had, at the time I created him, wanted to do some work on his ears, but I didn't have the necessary tools at that time, thus this is a work in progress.

One of the things I learned from doing webpages, is that you have to make sure that your creation looks good in every browser, in each resolution. The same can be said of creatures, which is why I looked at it in a half of dozen views before I showed anyone else. I had to make numerous changes to make it look good in each view.

Chachkas: You're a pain in the neck. Gazi: If you'd slow down, I wouldn't havta use my claws. Chachkas: You COULD fly. Gazi: Big, fat, hairy deal. Flyin' is easy. Chachkas: You shouldn't take flying for granted. Some of us don't have wings. Gazi: And some of us don't have massive jaws that can grind bone to dust. Chachkas: That's what I mean. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. I'm a brave hunter, a vicious killer, a fearsome predator, and you... Gazi: Yes? Yes? Chachkas: You're a pain in the neck! blog
