Champions Reborn

[TorrynWoodsrunner]

<DIV>Norrath was in ruins...five centuries of conflict, disaster and destruction.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Tunare's return to Norrath was coming...and those who would see her works protected were drawn together, gathering in the Greater Faydark to re-forge Tunare's greatest gathering of defenders...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The Faydark Champions.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Once again, those who would see nature preserved and protected roam the Fay, and all of Norrath.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Despoilers beware...</DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://www.vertexcore.com/images/galleries/misc/ChampionsReborn.jpg"></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>(Another in my series of EQ2 portrait images. Mysticmorgana, Torryn Woodsrunner, and Darien Witherbough, mugging it up for the virtual camera...)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Wow, that is really good. You should get a <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/" target=_blank>deviantart</a> account if you do not already have one so your artwork can be properly showcased.<div></div>

great shot imo, but imho id like to see more attention to the lighting, each toon has there own light source and they dont seem to work together

<p> I love it! What program do you use? they look really nice!</p>

[TorrynWoodsrunner]

<p>In regards to the lighting, it's probably the part I spent the most time on. And while yes, it's somewhat discordant, that's by design. I deliberately gave Mystic and Darien individual light sources (their spells) to pull them out of the background lighting a bit. Torryn catches most of the ambient lighting, with highlights from the light sources behind him...it's a visual metaphor for his integration with Norrath, plus the influence of his companions, who are very distinct individuals.</p><p>To answer the question of what I use, the main program is Poser 7. Effects and filter work are then done in Photoshop.</p><p>Thanks for the feedback gang, keep it coming!</p>

Just wanted to say you do fantastic art work in 3d rendering.

I am so in awe of all your work! This is a wonderful piece. And you definitely have my utmost respect for conquering Poser. I've had that program for a while now and can't do anything with it. Kudos!
