...or at least in extended hiatus. The model, not me. This would be the pic I promised in my journal here - [link] . I wanted to try something a little different with this 'last' pic of Argo to give it a "washed," "unfinished," and "rough sketched" feel to it (Hint: you can see that a little more noticeably at full size than you can here).

Anyway, it gives off a nice semi-nostalgic-tribute sort of vibe that brings a nice close to this little chapter of his evolution. I liked the end result, anyway. And what else it does for me is gives me a chance to focus more fully on some of my other genre work for the time being. I have other stories beyond Argo's that haven't been spun just yet. :D

Poser 7 all the way through the render stage, with Postwork and compositing in Photoshop CS. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em, folks.

Thank ya much, Annie! :hug: I really liked this one, too, and I think it's a pretty fitting 'end' pic. ^_^

And from one awesomely talented, wonderful imaginationed person to another, thank you very much for the praise... and I'm glad we both get a chance to enjoy one another's inanimate TF's every so often.

Thank you! I was really pleased with the way this one turned out, although I wish I could sketch this well with a pencil, myself! :XD:

Thank ya! I really wish I could sketch this well (heck, if I could sketch this well, I'd never leave the house! :XD:), but I totally agree that it gives a really nice 'behind the scenes' feel that I like an awful lot! I'm glad you like it too!

I'm gonna go beat up my muse someday soon for taking too many days off. That's just what's gonna have to happen. Stupid freakin' faerie. :XD:

And yes, sketch renders composited with normal renders just kick ass on a megaton scale.

LOLOLOL Mine doesn't know the definition of STFU. :rofl: I feel over-worked by mine. I guess I just needed a storyline that wouldn't quit and off she went! :O :XD:

Actually, I find it quite amazing you can figure a way to make it in a 3D programme.

Yo! It's been awhile since I've been though here!

Nice work! The effects are particularly good and the feel is definitely there.

Of course in my mind the "fitting end" for this character would be getting turned into stone by someone pissed off at him (for "Argo" maybe turning his sweetheart into a statue?) and then smashing him with a sledgehammer! LOL! (Well, I'm always for giving the bad guy their "just due!" heheh!)

You have always done the best backgrounds to highlight the characters portrayed in the forefront. you did yourself proud with this pic. :)
