Very nice work but maybe there should have been a light source seeing how Mystique is a dark blue.....it's really hard to see her.

I know she's a bit dark, but this was actually brightened up quite a bit from the original rendering. It has a lot to do with monitor settings though. I may adjust it at a later date

It wasn't made in Poser, is DAZ okay?

SmithMicro In reply to vaia [2010-11-15 20:13:20 +0000 UTC]

oh, I'm so sorry... sometime Poser and DAZ work is hard to tell apart. We don't accept DAZ work because our gallery is specific to Poser. But keep up the good work and please submit any Poser work you have or might have in the future. Thanks!

I see

I already submitted, as I hadn't heard back from you, but totally understand that they wouldn't make it into the gallery for that fact then

Thank you very much for the feedback though!
I do appreciate it!

This is a beautiful image. I love how you've allowed her skin to somewhat vanish into the background -- it makes it somehow more real!

boy... she really has that certain... Mystique... about her. Nice work making her look like a fanboy wet dream. I understand her being blue as the character is very deep blue, though it is hard to see her so dark... I think a bit of a bump in the mid tones may help her from disappearing so greatly into the background. Still I find this to be a very cool image indeed. Watch out X-Men.

Whats worse is that is EXACTLY what my oldest said.

And yeah, the lighting is always a plague to me My computer, shad's computer and my mother's computer all look completely different as far as the lighting goes. I can see her perfectly. Shad can kinda see her. My mom can't see her at all Monitors really can wreak havok on a person's work

xenoform In reply to vaia [2010-09-15 04:19:59 +0000 UTC]

I hope he said the Mystique part and not the wet dream part. Do you use a mac or a pc for your final renders? Mac's can make images look brighter and on PC's they can black out from the gamma settings being out of sync. Either way there are ways to correct gamma gain and drop in web images. It is not too hard to correct, that is if you are interested.

vaia In reply to xenoform [2010-09-15 12:39:22 +0000 UTC]

Totally interested

I would love a MAC, but that would require converting my entire runtime and I think I would lose my mind after that! LOL!

and no, unfortunately it was the latter. Shad almost lost his coffee. We're trying to come to grips with 16...it's been rather shocking, LOL

I want to, it's just hard for me to choose who I want to work on!

I've been contemplating Storm, but I think I want to do the old mohawk Storm and half the people who read the comics now will be like "What the..."
