Description

Hey! Look behind you!!

I have no idea what this is. I am still into 80's barbarians. This started out as something completely different. There was going to be a 1980's kind of flying castle, with space ships, a barbarian with a synth vibe and an alien sorceress... then I got inspired by a Conan comic cover art, by Boris Vallejo: “The Haunters of Castle Crimson.” and ended up with Pirate -Fabio and Greek goddess- Brigitte Bardot here.

Once again- The Iron Star, also known as: Ewan, the Extragalaxian Barbarian... made with G2M, M6, G6, G2M face and body morphs. Vascular and Aging HD morphs.

Brigitte, made with G2F face and body morphs,V6, S6 and Creature Creator morphs

Oh, ick!  That's one creepy... whatever it is!  I love that you included your workflow on making the creeper-thing.  You're so talented!


Anyway, I love the Frazetta-ish feel to this.  And, really, what's not to love about Fabio and Brigitte?!

Yes, I can well see what the comic cover inspired here.


As always, your set-up and use of colour is a delight to watch. But I hope we will still get to see the flying castle with the space ships and the alien sorceress, all framing an impressive synth-vibe Barbarian? That sounds like a great artwork, too!

There is so much depth and detail in here. You never cease to amaze!

The background is creepy and the blurring is perfect to give it the sense of depth you were aiming for.


Brigitte has that sorceress feel with the eyes almost rolled all the back into her head & the hand placement. I pity the fool that crosses her. Just sayin’…


Ewan is right out of the ‘80s with that hair dude! And the detail on his physical appearance is pretty cool with all the little scars here & there and the veins popping out. My only suggestion would be to give one or two of the scars a little red hue to them to show they are still fairly new.


The clothing is once again, spot on! The wrinkles and folds are all in the right places and the frayed edges of Vemon’s cloak are awesome! I love how the placement isn’t just a copy from one side to the other but the seams and frayed edges are unique all the way around its cloak.


And last, but certainly not least, Vemon. He creeps me out, dude! Those teeth. I really don’t want to see the rest of him.


Excellent work!

Great, classic image.  Definitely BV inspired, was just thinking that.  Your use of the tools and workflow is really creative.  I'm lucky to be able to model a cube in hexagon   .  Well, for sure booleans don't work for me.  It crashes on export.

Thank you! I like Hexagon, but it is a very basic and old program. You learn its little quirkiness after a while and what to avoid, like Boolean operations When I am really brave I try Blender. It is a magnificent program, but I always end up trowing sticks at my computer while running away.

Polyrender In reply to Ariel-X [2018-06-27 03:16:17 +0000 UTC]

THEY FIXED IT!!!!!!!        I just tried a boolean export to obj in Hexagon in the new 64 bit public build 2.5.2.137 and it worked without crashing!  And it imported into DAZ Studio!  Guess that means I'll have to make something now

wow! an other fantastic hero.

Can't believe that he is G2M.

He looks absolutely great.

Ok ... i did some good renders too with G2M, M6, G6, ... but your drawing style is really something special and so perfect.

Thank you very much! I need to learn how to do the export thing for G3 and 8. I tried bit I got a blank character. I will try again when I have built up enough courage .
