Dragon battle/lava cave

[Crow Haven]

This had to be trimmed down in size an awful lot and loses detail from the reduction but I thought I'd post it anyway. A bit of fun with the old mil dragon and a gargoyle type. Hope it's hot enough in there!

Great work Crow Haven it looks like it was painted by hand, really nice.

Thanks, John! I was hoping it would have that sort of look.

[Mike Bailey]

Yep! that looks hot to me, and the image is as well.

[Turan]

Hot indeed - would love to see the higher res one.

But love it all.

Thanks Mike and Turan! Well, all I can try is to link offsite to a bit larger version on a pic storage acct. I have (but they have limits before they resize pics too, so this is about as large as I try to post here) -- if this linked pic is not allowed I'll remove it, no prob.

Very nice, I really like the colors. Is this done in DAZ studio?

[RAMWolff44]

Very nice Maya,

I LOVE the lava flow. You did this part or ??? Gotta have that lava flow!!

I don't know if the allowances are different now here at TG but I have uploaded some pretty large files (under 300Kb's) and I wasn't scolded for it! I think as long as it's not over 800 pix wide it's fine!

Thanks Bruce, glad you enjoyed viewing this one too! It was created in Poser5. Poser6 is shipping and I will have that version as soon as it lands on my doorstep = it's filled with major improvements and looks very worthwhile in the lighting department alone.

Thanks Richard! The lava is a component of the weekly freebie at DAZ called the Dragon's Lair. It has morphs available as does the gold pile which I slagged pretty good in this image. The coloring is courtesy of 17 lights - mostly spotlights - as the cave environment is dark to begin with. A bit of postwork in PSCS for the illustration effect to take hold and bring out the heat of the reds.


I try to keep my images as small as I can here - under 100 kb and no more than 600 px wide - (I have been scolded several times for posting images of a bit over 80 kb over in the Xara forum).
