Description
When everything is at stake, but you know you're not ready to give up yet...Something about being very stubborn and never giving up till the last moment. Sometimes great things are done in this world not because people knew they could do it, but because they believed the cause to be important and didn't give up when everyone expected them to.
DAZStudio and Iray, postwork in Picasa and Photoshop.

Thank you. Tried to get some tension in it, with him holding on for his life. The light is Epic Godray Prop, really amazing light, although charging on the render time.

Thank you. The pose is actually from this pack: www.daz3d.com/free-running-pos… . Got really inspired by them.

Thank you. The pose was very inspiring, I had to do a story with a guy barely hanging on.

oh, your stories are always wonderful, it's a part of your style

I like the almost-square ratio for this scene (did you render that way or crop down?), and I love the idea of a vertical-stacked perspective giving the scene a feeling of a large drop beneath the figure.
It took me a minute to visually sort out what I was looking at above the figure, but when I realized it was another dragon then it gave the scene's story another satisfying dramatic beat.

I think I had experimented with cropping, but then decided against it. So this is the way I rendered it. But then I have very weird ratio's sometimes, I start out with the ratio from the previous scene and then adjust it till I'm happy about the composition.
The large drop down perspective is exactly what I was going for, glad it came across. It's supposed to be a tense moment, when he's surrounded by two dragons and also hanging above a cliff.

I like the particles like dust, It's something really needed and sometimes absent in some daz renders. And also the POV, overall nice shot there!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I love those particles as well, it's part of the Epic Light Props pack (an option to modify). They really add a lot to some renders. Pity it make the render times twice as long.

Yep, never give up. Love the way he gives tension in his hands and the posing of his lower body to give that feel he's really hanging on. Not easy to pull off, but again I know if anyone can...you can. Great angle too!

I was cheating. The pose is from this pack: www.daz3d.com/free-running-pos… , slightly modified for the G3M base. And he's really like trying to climb up by offsetting with his feet against the wall.

Nice pose pack! But in all seriousness it doesn't matter because it's what you do with it, that does.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True. You should try it, it's very inspiring.

Thank you. Took some time to find the right angle to fit the guy in focus and the dragons slightly outside of it. But I'm very happy about it.

Oh I really loved the cam angle and the dof here!! Excellent work!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. Played a lot with the angle and the cropping here, glad it came out ok.

As others said before me: nice use of depth and lighting! It almost feels like the rock he holds on to would be loose in the next image and he'd get that panicked look on his face before he finds grip again.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I can see that now. But I sure hope he won't fall down, the dragon below will be too happy. Can't overfeed those lizards, you know.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But they are so cute! We should give them SOMETHING though?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, your best enemies. When already out of the pit, one layer higher, dropping him off some other tower.

Beautiful image, looks like a screenshot, filled with implied action and dramatic lighting. ^_^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. That's exactly what I was going for - an action shot in between him falling down and getting back up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Now THAT'S a predicament! Nice work and nice use of depth.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. Not sure which dragon is worse, but just hanging there isn't practical for sure.

Fantastic picture. The pose is brilliant- think the knuckles and face could have been a little more stressed. The lighting is superb!
:-D x

Maybe the right hand could use some extra tension, that's true. But for the rest I'm quite happy about it, since it came in the package (www.daz3d.com/free-running-pos… ). Those poses are very inspiring by itself.

COOL pic! I love the camera angle & the guy's pose. Awesome job. The lighting is fantastic as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. The camera angle took some time, fitting everything in the shot was surprizingly hard. The pose is from this pack: www.daz3d.com/free-running-pos… .

You're very welcome.
Thanks fro the info on the pose.

Someone who met me some time ago said, "I'll die sooner than I give up. This is my inviolable honor, which I will take with me into the hereafter. "
Your picture reminds me of this strange encounter on the night train. When I look at it, I see Abraham in it, who shared with me a nearly desecrate waggon almost the entire journey.

Sometimes it's easier to die than to break your honor, it's a matter of priority to some people.

Or as we say in the northen part of Sweden. "It's never too late to give up". 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In some way one could interpret it as "so I can always give up later"....

Thanks. I had to move the camera a lot to make sure both dragons stayed in the shot.

Oh, lovely! A little mysterious, too, but the composition is so eye-catching and the sense of energy so dynamic that I just get drawn in.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I tried to play a bit with a diagonal composition to add to the dynamics. It's supposed to be an action shot, hopefully he'll pull himself up in the next one.
