BJDs are so prettyyyyy. And that one especially so! I spent a good hour looking through their gallery after you posted that.

Interesting technique. Are there some photo elements incorporated?

So I'm finally *just* about done with my first character image. I think I want to go back and change the lighting a bit to highlight her face a bit more. I'm not thrilled how the backlight is lighting her hair in a way that makes her ear look pointy - don't want anyone thinking she has elf ears or something. Also I want more of a matte look to her corset.

Wow, very nice! What tool do you use?

Makes me want some of my characters drawn!

Too bad I'm not an artist in the least!

I've been working in Poser 6 with postwork done in Photoshop.

Gorgeous!

I'd like to ask what technical tools are you using? Hand-drawn scans, or tablet, or mouse ( :shock:

) or mix of several?

I've got a Wacom tablet that I adore for everything art related.

Poser is a world of fun to create images, at least once you get used to the interface. It can get expensive though!

From what I've just read about it, Poser seems like a gift from heaven... but it's price is a bit ouchy. I wonder if I can find a demo/trial version or something...
(Edit: just found a free trial, or at least what they call a free trial :evil:

they can kiss my tail)

It's well worth it, and you can probably find it somewhere out there.

I remember seeing a DL somewhere when I was looking for a keygen for something else. Can't remember what site for the life of me. I'll see if I can find it on my browser history when I get home tonight.

Be warned - it's a massive program, and even more so when you start adding more content. I store it and all related stuff on my external Tbyte drive. Even so a full render at about a 2500px can take around a half hour or so. Usually at that point I go do something else and check back later. Afterwards it's easy to save as a png and start your postwork on Photoshop

Hah, torrent is my uncle

I think I've found it, both 8 and Pro-2010 versions, although it will take ages at this speed ...
and the performance may be a problem

A pair long dead, but not forgotten. I'm sure some of you older cantarians will figure out who they are....

I'm guessing some McGregors, just from the kilt. And... WOW!
