Slowly but surely, my first renders are beginning to take shape.
And my guys (I mostly do male renders) need a place to stay, so here they are ^^
Enjoy and comments or thoughts are most welcome

Nice use of shadow on the figure. Did you do postwork on the picture? If this was just DS or poser, how did you do the lightning bolt effect on his hand?

Oh hi!
I used DAZ 4.5 and did some postwork in Gimp on the contrast and smudge away some little imperfections.
The lightening in the hand is the free Atmospherics - Lightning at RDNA.
I changed the color in the parameters tab and changed the size.
Also I rotated it so the thicker beginning of the bolt is hidden behind the hand, you are actually looking from under the bolt.

I got some great advices on the newbie forum to get more depth in the background.

Thanks for stopping by! ^^

Rockstar!
The same as the other one, all done in DAZ 4.5.
Only I haven’t done any postwork here as I was happy how the contrast worked out.
I needed to resize it for the forum though.
To achieve a more full look on the hair I added it twice.
The second one I morphed and scaled just a bit so the strands would show.

Dude!

Your work is totally awesome   Two very different settings and vibes but your style comes through and technique is awesome

The spellcaster (who could be Lightning Lad/Lord/Live Wire with some re-tooling ) has a classic fantasy art painterly vibe.  The Rockstar (who has a MiG Ayesa vibe imho) is grounded in reality and attention to detail: displacement maps, lighting, compostion make it pop and rock

Am following this thread

Looking very good Estroyer - theres really nothing ‘newbie-ish’ about your renders at all.

The lighting is excellent and your M5 characters look very unique, and almost alive. I’ll be following this thread for sure!

Nice to see Estroyer in action! Great work

Very nice! Love the fact you made the rock star British! Looking forward to your next renders.

Have been sick a lot and the combination of the holidays has left me little time for rendering.
I made this one for the Michael initiative thread here on the forum.
I want to wish everyone a happy new year!!!
