WOAA!!These are absolutely breathtaking !! I specially like the Fae Dreamz, that one looks so enchanting. Such beautiful pieces. You truely have a gift Akya !!Amazing <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span><div></div>

[Wyrmypops]

<P>Cor blimey! They're lush. </P> <P>Juicy contrast and colours, anatomically correct, and so evocative. Fantasy art without surrendering to the easy anime path. </P> <P>I'd doff my hat at you in respect, but I don't wear one, so I'll just wiggle my hair at you. :smileytongue:</P> <P> </P>

[Nikalaru]

WOW... all I can say is wow... They are amazing.  I especially love the fae dreamz one.  Its my desktop now ^.^ so nice to look at.  Love the colors and the attention to detail.  I also like some of the armor concepts you have... unique, sexy, yet... tasteful.

Beautiful! Especially the face. Great work as always <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />If you would make her waist just a little bit more slender she would be perfect<div></div>

[cba3]

<P>Now youve mentioned it, the side nearest the staff could do with a minute pinch.. but im not a fan of unrealistic waists that you so often see. </P> <P>The quality of her face, hair and the background are photograhic they are so realistic.</P> <P>I should stop posting lol!</P>

[Akyashaa]

<P>Thanks much guys, i do appreciate the critique, will only make me bette rin the long run, btw she's standing akward i guess that's why she doesnt have much definition in her right hip i guess? But also i don't like cartoonish figures, i try to go for realism <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P> </P> <P>Btw new pic up in OP <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><BR><BR>Nadine</P>

<DIV>lol</DIV>

[Lightbearer007]

<div></div>Amazing detail in all your artwork. Your Incognito picture has so much detail. Is she perhaps a half elf? I see she has some sort of scar on her nose. And like others have said the proportions for the figures is just right. Not too realistic but enough and not too fantastic but just right. Also the weapons in Trueshot are just awesome looking. The detail and shine on the hilts. They look really nice in the sheaths as well. Too bad SoE doesnt do work like you. lol Just very nice stuff. Keep it up!<div></div><p>Message Edited by Lightbearer007 on <span class=date_text>12-17-2006</span> <span class=time_text>04:12 PM</span>

Very good work indeed. I constantly check back on this thread to see if you've added new art, and made a trip or two to lady-akyashaa.deviantart.com to look at your stuff there. Nice portfolio. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

Only problem with the new format is they keep sending me to reply rather than opening a picture in a new tab. I can always go to the main host site, but thought I'd let you know what the links are currently doing.<div></div>

[Sphinxcat]

Wow these are all so gorgeous! I really love 'The Duel', "Fallen Angel' and 'Be Gentle'...really great stuff!

[JTG753]

Very nice work, Akyashaa. A few days ago I got Daz3d just to see what the rendering and such was like and I found it to be very fun.So now I'm wondering where to go from there. I'm thinking of buying Carrara 6, since its 64% off currently.Thought it would be a good idea to ask someone that actually does all that, their opinion on which program is best.

[Akyashaa]

Thanks guys..As for 3d program, I presonally have been using poser for a long time. I use Poser 7LE and I like it the best for what I do anyways. Never used Carrera but I hear its nice. I just like poser because along with Daz3d it comes with a ton of plugins and accessories you can buy for both that work for both. It's a bit rough to learn and get used to though because of all the options but once you get it its a blast. I also use Photoshop CS 3 to do all the postwork and repaints and stuff. Have fun with it <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Britefire]

once again, those are great, congratz on great work. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

new pic up again in OP

[-Arctura-]

(( excellent works Akyashaa 8-)I am curious though, doesn't it infringe copyrights to be selling commissions using other peoples 3d models? I was always on the fence on the issue about making commissions for people using poser for that reason...

[Akyashaa]

Nope just have to either use your own models or when you do use things that other people make have to make sure it notes for commercial and none commercial stuff... so I am safe <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Thanks for the concern though <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<p>I know I've already stated as much on your DA gallery, but it really bears repeating here.  You have one of the most interesting styles I've seen in my short time doing 3D stuff.  The big thing is your use of color and how your scenes seem to stick with a certain color and it's various shades without going overboard.</p><p>To anyone that hasn't had the pleasure of visiting Akyasha's DA gallery, I highly recommend it.  She has only posted the fantasy stuff here, but her other images with a science fiction feel and her equine images are just as beautiful as these.</p>

<p>Your artwork is just incredible, this kind of art has always peaked my interest i just lack the skill. I havent done any type of artwork for 10 years, is there a special program that you use for this?</p>

Indeed I use Poser version 7LE, I also use the Photoshop CS3 Master Edition (comes with all the CS3 programs in the master edition). Usually the way I work, I get the basic set up done in poser, the light never looks exactly how I want it but that's where the postwork comes in, which is where most of the work is, adding details, painting hair, adding background, fixing light and anything else you can think of LOL It's a really long process. On average I spend between 6-20 hrs on a picture, depending on complexity.</p><p>Dylara: Don't cut yourself short, you're stuff is amazing girl!!  you've also improved a lot since I've first saw your pictures <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /> Just keep on trucking and don't be afraid to learn or try new things <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /> That's what I did <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /></p><p>To <span>Hamervelder: Thanks for the compliment as well <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /><strong></strong></span></p>

<div><div>Hello Akyashaa</div><div> </div><div>I admire your fan-arts i've seen here, and, long time, i study about to buy a program to create and build 3D-objects. I googled about 5 days now for take a lot of information, - i downloadet some progs for looking how it works and get grey hairs (makehuman, blender, daz) and now i've de-installed ALL this free progs and i think for make some "really" good stuff i need Poser example. Now comes my question to you<img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> : it is absolutely nessecary i need photoshop cs 2 or higher, OR it is ok to have (only) Photoshop CS? in combination with poser? because i dont now exacly and dont find answers in google or else..... what i want is to create the humans, the models as realistic, and after to export in photoshop (xy) for finishing... I hope you can give me answers, - my english is bad i now, it is not my native languange; sorry<img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />....</div><div> </div><div>I now to handle photoshop CS, i learned to build websites, i create nice 2D pics, so i'm not a very beginner, - but in 3D  i'm a beginner and i think, a profi master like you can give me god answers, before i put a lot money thrue the windows<img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div><div> </div><div>Thanks you so much for reading!!</div><div> </div><div>YOUR WORKS ARE INCREDIBLE, STUNNING, I'VE NEVER SEEN SO GREAT STUFF LIKE THIS MADE WITH 3D PROGS</div></div>
