Description
As the group walk through the town, they feel eyes on them...and not the friendly kind. They keep an eye on the people they pass and the head of the bounty which they wish to collect upon. The dragon's head, still impaled with the warrior's sword in the back of a cart.

They approach the requestor of their bounty and find that they weren't willing to pay the full amount for the kill. It seems that the requestor didn't expect the group to be successful...

This is a remake of one of my older pictures: www.deviantart.com/tsubasashi/…

I'm happy with the quality of the render overall, but do still feel a little more can be added to the image to make it more organic...other than finally adding a horse to the image. The original idea is still intact: A group pulling a cart through town with the head of a dragon in it. For this rendition, I added the bounty requestor in a more standoffish position and more emotion to the primary subjects.

Tech: Still using the G8 model with a custom HDRI lighting source. Dragon head comes from Dragon 3...and rather than going through the process of extracting the head, the whole body is there...just hidden. Thus the angle of it's shot since there is just a gaping whole where the neck attaches. Horse is from Horse 3.

Difficulties: The hardest part of this image was getting dForce to work properly on the wizard. Her clothing kept going through the ground as if it weren't there. Through a TON of research, I found out that the cause was the mesh size. I had to add a plane with a high mesh count to make it actually "hit" the ground.

(I'm horrible at tagging my images, so if you have any ideas, please let me know! ~Tsu)
