3d/SS Manip combo *Updated Siggy 7-18, c/c plz!*

Eve, your stuff rocks. I love it!

Love it, especially the colors. The only c/c I have is the lightin on her face. Looks great how you have it on the hair, but I think a tiny bit more of it on the face would've really brought out just how beautiful that model is. Still :thumbsup Gonna have to commission you soon eve-e =D

The close up 3d face is very pretty, I love it.

The only CC I have is...when I look at the desktop image the left cheek (our right) of the screenshot char looks kinda (for lack of a better term) swollen. I think it might have something to do with the lighting, and I wouldn't even know where to begin suggesting a possible fix as I am really really not good with shadows (sorta happen on accident for me most of the time :P). I only noticed this on the desktop image and slightly on the first avatar.

Other then the cheek thing, they're all lovily. You work is amazing. That second avatar is really cute too.

I'm with Mae on this one, from the lighting on the hair it looks like there's a top light source, so there should be some shine on her skin from that as well, you know, ear, nose bridge, curve of her upper lip or the chin. Perhaps a bit of the blue light reflecting off her staff, or some shadows.

Have to agree on the other statements as well, she is beautiful! Fantastic use of color, works very well with the starry back ground to give off this celestial feeling. We likes.

:yeahthat The background looks awesome too and nice job on the spell effect behind her. What font is that?

Eve,
I'mma have your babies. /nod
If it was possible of course.

Those are beautiful, her hair (as well as everything else) is beautiful, as always. =)

Font is Kingsthing Spike for the S and just one of the other Kingsthings for the kylaa. I can't claim the background; it was a freebie in one of the character packs I bought from Shesa.

I will admit the lighting is off a bit. I spent well over a day trying to get a feel for Poser6 after using Daz|Studio and it are the hard! Merr, not sure what I did to her face. She prolly gave me some sass and got smacked *sage nod* Actually, since that's the poser face put onto the in game bod, I could have gotten it not quite placed right or smoothed down so who knows. First experiment doing that too, so I'll pay a bit more attention there next time :)

Thanks for all the comments gang!

I love how you incorporated the 3D face onto the SS body. I think what is thbrowing it off visually is a combination of a couple things. First, her larger face shot to the side has a much shorter and less oval shape. But since the in game faces are so oval when you blended the two it changed the jaw's shape so in visual comparison of them side by side it seems her face is swollen. Also, her face should be rotated more to a straight up-down and not tilted to the side like it is, that too is making the right (her left) side of her face seem off when viewing it.

I think this is freaking gorgeous BTW and now I am wanting to start merging them.. It had occured to me but I hadn't wanted to try cause I'm laaaazy, but since it looks so good now I've gotta =D

LoL I just saw that Immy. One baby for me is enough kk thx!

You're prolly right Temp. I was going to originally use the full 3d shot, but then I was like why am I going to try and paint all these damn clothes or find an outfit that's close when all I really needed it for was to shrink down for that sig. The desktop was just a bonus freebie for her which is why I didn't bother worrying about it too much. I just like to start big so when they don't want a magelo or desktop, doesn't really matter cuz I'm gonna work that size to start with anyway lol. Oh and about merging the face onto the game shot, I'm not sure which of us came up with the idea, me or Vex. I seem to remember her complaining about some features on a male model at one time, so I asked why she didn't just "Poserfy" his face? Well she did, it looked good, then she showed me a female she did it for too and it was awesome. It works, just takes a lil finagling. Had I thought about it ahead of time, I would have matched the poser pose to the in game pose a bit better. Learn as we go :)

I see what ppl mean by the lighting, but I like it as is. If I wanted something totally realistic, I'd look at a picture. To me, it looks as though there are 2 sources of lighting on the de's face, one at the bottom left and the other, top right, both converging diagonally.

In any case, the lighting does provide for excellent contrast and volume. 2 things though:
1) The bottom right portion of the face looks like it was cut out with 2 straight lines
2) A white outer glow over white text against a light blue background doesn't work too well imo. I would try something like a "black glow" or drop shadow so that it contrasts between text and background.

Nick

Okay, I had to fuss with at least the siggy some more. I redid the whole layout because originally the lighting was supposed to be kinda like Nick said, coming from two different angles, and it looks better I think on the desktop where the sky is glowing against her cheek there. Anywho, I flipped it around a bit and hopefully it meshes a bit better together now. Haven't showed yer the revisions yet, so whatcha thinks?

I like it! Very nice, Eve! :grin:

i like it mucho! looks like her head is whippin around!

Thanks for the font info Eve :)
