The Big Blue
The Big Blue reminds me of a 1988 film by Luc Besson that tells the fictionalized story of two true freediving champions, friends and sporting rivals, who fought for many years for the record, sometimes one winning, sometimes the other, to hold the title. The two champions are Frenchman Jacques Mayol and Italian Enzo Maiorca, who in the film is called Enzo Molinari. The two freedivers competed between 1966 and 1988 and both surpassed the 100-meter freediving limit.

The Cerulean King
Not to be confused with “The Lion King” ;)
This one ended up becoming a personal challenge to use Geometry Editor as much as possible in one render XD I feel like the Geometry Editor doesn’t get enough attention, it’s an amazing helper built right into DAZ Studio. I couldn’t find what I wanted to use to make this image, so I grabbed a bunch of different freebies, and used that to make them fit my idea. For instance, I separated the “Lucina” armor into multiple material zones so that I could adjust the materials of each piece the way I wanted to. I also used the delete tool to remove large pieces of it entirely, so that I could kitbash them more effectively, without worrying about a whole lot of pokethrough. So a lot of the freebies I used might not be immediately recognizable, but anyone could do the exact same thing as I did without spending a penny on any new scripts or tools, and it’s a fun way to get more milage out of the freebies we download!!!
