Description This picture was inspired by a character from  - Kylah The Jungle Queen.
I had a lot of fun working with him, he's a great guy .

The full story of the epic fight is told here:

The great DA artist :iconmagnus-strindboem: got inspired on the character and produced some marvelous artworks. And his artworks ispired me to write this continuation of Kylah's saga. Refer to previous stories for better reference and notice that posting order does not follow narrative chronology.

Princess Kylah's land was located in a warm region in Africa. Summer used to bring short but heavy rain along the day. At one moment of the day it was a sunny warm day and suddenly sky could become dark and a heavy warm rain could fall for a few min


You can also find a full size HQ version exclusively on his site!

There is a painting by Frazetta 'Land of Terror' for a Edgar Rice Burroughs Novel featuring a fight with a crocodile, and I thought it might be a cool idea.

Epic. Love the sense of action and realistic motion. So often I see 3D characters that are still with awkward poses. Nice.

Someone said it would not be a good hold on the maw like this. Might be, but I guess she's trying to keep her head away from the smell

It is a cool idea. But I keep going to a joke about how she's a vet making the crock take a pill.

That's a heel of a fight for sure ! She looks bulky enough to hold open a crocodile jaws, and it had to be straining given the power of those. The lighting and render are perfect.

It may sound strange, but I modeled her on that pose mostly and only after doing this render   I had a look at her from the front and realized that poor Mr. Croc really had the odds against him

Mal wieder eine sehr schöne Arbeit.   So toll die Charaktere, Posing, Mimik, Licht auch sind  , am meisten bin ich irgendwie vom im Gegenlicht leuchtenden Wasser begeistert, wirkt dadruch einfach so realistisch. 
Auch der Krokoschwanz im Vordergrund gibt dem Bild die nötige Tiefe!

Danke! Das mit dem Wasser war nicht eigentlich geplant, aber ich habe es dann aufgegriffen.

 Das sind die Dinge die ich beim Rendern und auch bei Iray mag, dass man oft selbst überrascht ist, was dabei herauskommen kann

You capture scenes and figures in the environment beautifully.  Very atmospheric works you have created, this one being my fave so far. 

I love DAZ Studio, but I'm not very experienced with it and enjoy playing around with it now and then - just the simple things I can manage to do.  

I really want to learn, or know how to coil the snake (constrictor) model so it wraps around the actor.  There are some basic set poses, but I was wondering if there's an easier way rather than selecting each individual section of the snake and looping it round.

Magnus-Strindboem In reply to Hercu-Liz [2018-06-29 17:32:13 +0000 UTC]

Well I don't own it, but according to the product description it has pose controls (not poses) for constriction. If you select the model, there should be a node 'pose control' way down among the parameters. And there the constriction controls. The position in relation to another model you will have to manage yourself, there are no pair poses provided as far as I can tell. But it helps to either put them both in a group with each other or simply parent snake to actor, so they don't loose their relative position. That's all I know, maybe someone else has more input.

Oh, ok cool. Would it be like how the different body shapes and face expressions are with the sliders? I have tried DAZ my PC laptop while I was getting my MacBook fixed.
The separate operating systems seems to have things in different places.

Thanks again for the advice, much appreciated.

Now I must find some time to write a story based on this marvelous image...

Glad that you like it. It's a bit old fashioned fantasy style but I can't help myself

But I'm really happy you like her, because it's always a balance at depicting a fantasy character (which has to conform to certain style and expectation) like this without creating a caricature.
