Believe it or not, I got quite teary eyed working on this one.

The lighting may seem to be strange and unrealistic, but once you read my story (some day *cough*) it will start making sense for you.

I´m certainly not trying to be necrophiliac, seeing as he´s dead here...but he´s got such a pretty body structure QQ

Who wouldn't feel "necrophiliac" with this awesome body ??? ^_^

Well, as I decided not to kill him in the story, let's just assume he is only posing as dead for this picture.

You made a very good decision not to kill him

I just figured that his handsome love would never forgive me if I did kill the elf.

I am disappointed that you didn't render these models, but I gotta say, those boots are a massive improvement. And, just because you didn't render these models doesn't mean you didn't work hard to position them. Good job.

Posing, lighting, postwork. Took a lot of time and heart put into it, yes.

Thank you. Means a lot.

DasWiener In reply to Tasharene [2011-01-12 22:12:11 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, yeah. Well, just because you didn't model the characters, doesn't mean it's a bad piece. This is still a wonderful scene and I can't wait to see more!

It's a very moving scene, and the lighting gives it a dreamy, almost surreal feel. I'd say perfect for the setting.

I think the lighting is fine on this. The backlight is well done and the shadows are nice and... well, shadowy. Very emotional scene.

Thank you!

Louvette [2011-01-09 11:41:49 +0000 UTC]

Oh no! What happened here? I love the lighting though. It's very dramatic. Wow he's quite luminescent - something symbolic perhaps? Looking forward to reading that story, whenever that may be

Tasharene In reply to Louvette [2011-01-09 12:55:05 +0000 UTC]

Well, the progress with writing is nice, Arrow say I am doing fine as a writer, so maybe it won't be that long now till it's finished. We'll see.

As for what happened... he was imprisoned, treated badly, she came too late to save him. Now she's mourning him and his goddess comes to take his soul. Hence the light and the glow.

Well damn, that was one crappy explanation.

DasWiener [2011-01-09 08:20:20 +0000 UTC]

Very, very nice rendering you have. I think I like the dark skinned lady the most. Her face is very detailed amd her outfit is very nicely designed. I just wish you could've modeled a better pair of boots. But, all together you made a fantastic scene.

Tasharene In reply to DasWiener [2011-01-09 08:48:01 +0000 UTC]

This will probably be a big disappointment for you, but I don't do the modeling myself, I totally lack the skill and patience for that so I use purchased models. You are completely right about the boots, however, and I am going to try and find something better for her to wear.

oohhh but I love the lighting in this one! it makes him look so ethereal, and glowy!
and my god I love that thigh that is the most realistic thigh I think I have ever seen in my entire life.
great job on this one, Tash!

LOSH CAN'T DIIIIIE!!!!

*ahem* Just had to get that out of my system. Great work! I just love the lighting on his skin. It really captures how pale and vulnerable he is. And Xadra's expression is excellent. It reminds me of a grizzly bear holding her cubs: powerful, yet protective.

Great work, Tash!

Tasharene In reply to arrowmaker [2011-01-09 09:10:12 +0000 UTC]

You know I am a sucker for drama and angst and having Losh dead would be just delicious... but well, let it be your way.

And I just LOVE Xadra the Grizzly. Wish there were grizzly bears (or any bears at all) in her world, I would totally give her a new nickname.

arrowmaker In reply to Tasharene [2011-01-09 16:52:20 +0000 UTC]

Hey, it's your story, your choice. I would hate to see Losh go though. I personally see this story spanning several arcs, over multiple worlds, and he could be a valuable presence for angst and drama in other worlds.

Maybe they could encounter some in a new world. And the inhabitants could rename her, 'Xadra the Grizzly'.

Tasharene In reply to arrowmaker [2011-01-09 17:15:13 +0000 UTC]

Problem is, that I don't really WANT Losh dead, either. I just want the drama and angst such a scene could bring, but I guess having him near death is going to work just as well.

As for them adventuring in other worlds and those several arcs... *whimper* That would mean writing one long and epic series of stories. Not sure I am ready for that!
