    Very nice image, SapphireBlue!  I can almost feel the breeze and the rain!

    Thanks DanaTA! It was nice to just try out some new pretty things and render away! smiley

    Hi gang... I have my new hard drive installed.. It is taking a while do get metadata to download... There HAS to be an easier way. 

    I'm gonna try and post something in the next few days... we have 4 more days til May 1st... Wish me luck! 

    Keep posting the great artworks.. I enjoy seeing what you all create!  Stay well.. hugzzzzzzz

    Still struggling to find some time to properly sit down and come up with a purposeful render. However, I did have a few hours last night to play around with Ultrascenery again and managed to make a scene with it which would hopefully count as "Landscape" for this month. Not particularly interesting but it does have a nice warm colour and an air of quiet and relaxation to it :)

    VEEEEERY interesting to me Sof.... One could tell a story with your Landscape... ;)  well done!  Thanks for finding time to create something for the challenge.

    Whenever I get back to the Art Studio forums after some time away, I always check in on all the wonderful entries, with good intentions to add one too... but time gets away. But last night, I decided to start a quick scene for the "Umbrella" category. Tried out an outfit and pose set by Breeze that had an umbrella in it!

    A Belated Happy Birthday Llola! heartHope you're making progress in getting your DAZ library sorted. I'm also supposed to be moving my files across to another drive so I can install all my buys from this year - but imma procrastinating on it... 

    THANKs for BD wishes Sapph... Daz Library sorting is going horrible... :(  There's GOT to be an easier way to swap stuff from one drive to another without causing problems... but I have not found it :(... I can see why you are procrstinating. 

    Your artwork is jus lovely... Rain just ended here in Ohio but didn't look half as nice as your render... lol.  ahhhh... Spring is in the air in Ohio... lol.  Thanks for creating something for the challenge.. :)

    I knew that ... [d'oh, d'oh. d'oh] - I really DO know that, but my finger's apparently don't! ;) I'll have to see if I can edit it!

     

    Nothing to see here *waves hand* this is not the dodgy image you are looking for ...

    Really nice scene :) I agree that sometimes it's tough to light your characters when you want a darker or more shadowy look but I'd say you have done a fine job as the characters certainly stand out enough at the centre of the image.

    Thank you :)

    Llola Lane said:

     Just lovely Elor ... I say the lighting on the characters is JUST RIGHT!  Thanks for sharing.  :)

    Thank you smiley

    I picked umbrella as the key word for my render, and I used two of them, so, no mumbling about bending rules laugh

    I had a couple of other ideas in mind, but I spent some time creating metadata for various items without them, so most of my renders in April where thumbnails for Smart Content (I could also have used one where the umbrella is over the ice-cream vendor's bike, but it was way out of focus because it was a thumbnail for a swimsuit, not a ice-cream vendor's bike).

    I don't have a story behind this render, but it could be a fancy birthday party for Llola, with Llola behind the camera, flexing her photographer's muscles smiley

    At the very least, happy birthday Llola yes

    Rosa Maria 8.1, at a bar

    All items used are named and most are linked in the gallery.

    Oh my everyone... I'm sorry I've not been about for the last week or so... My computer was getting a new C drive and I had to reinstall Daz... ugh... Long story short I am still uploading stuff in DIM... taking a loooooong time... (sighs)... I have about 1500 items to upload still... and I FINALLY got metadata sorted last night after 15+hours!  I was just about to give up Daz when things started working again.. so hence my not being here for a while.

    I just saw all the wonderful artworks for my birthday and I thank you all ooooooooooooooooodlezzzzzzzz... I give you all virtual hugzzzzzzz... btw.. you USA residents got your tax done?  I'm an income tax baby :) 

    SimonJM... I see you got the three L's sorted ;)... You'd be surprised HOW many peeps call me LloNa... lol so I knew who you meant right away... lol.  I guess I answer to anything these days... LOL... THANK YOU kindly for the BD wishes and for the challenge posting!

    Elor... Those have to be the tinies umbrellazzzzzzzzz I've ever seen... LOL.  Took me a while to find them... and Yes... that's me clicking away behind the camera... SMILE!!!  lol.  Glad you were able to post for the challenge.

    I chose "March = New Baby", so that I could make sure I remembered to enter this month, by using the image as my Mother's Day picture, too!  Is that cheating?  Of course not!  *Whistles innocently*

    Mother's Day 2025

    Happy Mother’s Day!!!  ^_^

    Rendered in Daz Studio Iray.

    Postwork in Pixelmator Pro.

    Hi gang.. sorry I've been lax this month with replys.... I guess I'm in a slump... I'll get something out by the end of the month though... promise???

    Fae3D... your MOTHERs DAY is wonderful... Such a happy occasion for sure ;)

    nattaruk... glad someone picked Halloween... I'm not really into spooky these days but your artwork has such great lighting I had to smile :)  Well done.

    Stezza... you KNOW you always make me smile with your Carrara artworks.  I'm in love with your Barnaby... what a hottie... LOL. 

    Thanks for sharing everyone... we still have a week... Keep'em coming! 

    Stay well.. hugzzzzzzzzzzzz

    ok.. Had some time to play tonight... I used to be a wedding photographer... waaaay back when... lol

    Since working with Daz I have always tried getting wedding portraits realistic... without the eye blinks... people moving... setting up the dress.. ugh.. it took forEVEH to get peeps to stand nice.  Well I had the illusion Daz would be easier... lol. NOT... by the time I found Genesis.. put her makeup on.. dressed her and posed her... set up the lights... ughh... Can't decide which is faster... lol.  All I do know is I like rendering with Iray best... Simple... fast.. and quick. 

    I've REVAMPED an old 2013 render of a bride with Iray... I've included both artworks so you can see the difference... oh and also note the render time... 2minutes vs an hour and a half!  YAY for Iray and my new monster computer!  LOL

    ENJOY!!!
