So if you want to view the first and second pics without having to peruse that thread (which is worth perusing! ) then those links will load just the images.
Here is the third installment. My digital camera and I, as the model, created about 20 posed shots of me, I then chose the one I liked best and then into Photoshop to remove the background and saved it as a png with alpha and imported into that into the Space Being file in XaraX. As much as I would like to think I can create all this from my head, I can't. I need a model and lots of reference material and while I have plenty of books to refer too nothing beats a live model and so I chose me, considering I'm the only one that would model for me and I just happen to have an OK body for this sort of image. No I'm not bragging, believe me, pastey white skin aint all that pretty and I got that middle age gut started that I lovingly refer to as my 4 months pregnant gut!
As you can sorta see the hand positioning is finished. Despite how my hands are positioned the ones I created from a different reference image are perfect for what I am aiming for. Those darned hands took me quite a while to create and are pretty accurate, so far!
My legs did not make it into the shot and I like the leg structure of the model that I used (shown in the second image) and very close to my own leg structure actually.
The final image will be a being with a star filled body type of effect and some energy bursts coming out of his eye sockets and mouth up to the heavens and I'm not at all sure about the background yet, probably some more galactic stuff or maybe something else, you'll just have to wait and see!! As will I!!
