Since I did one of the Killer Elves, it totally behooved me to eventually do the other. This picture came to mind while I was at work Thursday, and steadfastly caused my computer nothing but problems for the entirety of the weekend while I tried to make it as near the picture in my head as I could. This one has some mucking about with light sources, alpha maps and camera focal settings that I've never worked with before, and I rather like the results!
This wonder of quiet savagery would be Echo, whose last name is unpronounceable by stupid Humanae but who goes by Callamyre to them because sometimes stupid Humanae actually have the gold and the means to hire on one of her kind for a contract... simply because someone needs killed. To say she's an assassin really doesn't completely do it justice. Anyway, and you thought Killer Elves was a friendly euphemism. Silly you. At any rate, she's scaling the wall of a castle to fulfill a contract killing. That may be hard to make out here... the picture is a little on the dark side to bring her out.
Models by Daz3D, Danie/Marforno, Xurge 3D, Silverelf, and myself. Posed and set up as four separate PZ3's in Poser, composed and rendered in C4D, postworked in Photoshop.
Well, after I opened my eyes and looked at it (and realized that she was scaling a castle wall, and not crawling to the edge of a cliff -- damn I'm blind) it all came into focus.
Nice touch with the guards lying on the drawbridge and the bloodstains on her sword. It's those little touches that put you above some other 3D artists out there.
The camera focus effect came out really nice for the background and it adds to the realism of the piece. I like the camera angle of it too because when you first look at it you have to figure out what the hell is going on because it doesn't make sense visually at first. Good job.
I'm not sure how the sword is slung on her back, but everything else kicks ass! Dramatic camera angle ,and bold colors. If she were looking more up, it would be scary good! As it is, I'd give 9/10.
The DOF kicks ass,btw!

Wow! I love the lighting and the (As everyone else has noted) the dynamic camera angle! But I personally think you chose that angle just to get some cleavage shots!
Echo has always been my favorite out of the Killer Elves, and I love how cold and casual she appears here.
