    Trying out the PBRSkin shader and post-work techniques with PaintShop Pro .  I'm very shy about posting my artwork, mostly because I'm my own biggest critic.  I see so many wonderful artists here and hope to one day be just as good.  So many of you are inspiring and your work takes my breath away!

    You have absolutely nothing whatsoever to be shy about. It's a gorgeous image - I just wish I could do as well. Keep it up.

    Regards,

    Lavonne is an excellent new character by Emrys.

    A lot of these characters are simply overlooked and we get them for a great deal.

    I totally agree. So glad PA's create characters like Lavonne, Berenice, Otis and etc. I want the PA's to know that there is a market for them, and their characters are usually straight into my cart for ista-buys. I might be in the minority (no pun intended), however glad to know some PA's produce high quality POC characters.

    Darius 7 (G3M) with some muscular physique types added in.  Darius is a superb character.  So happy I have him in my library. :)

    Thank you so very much, Hylas and Write Idea!

    I'm still tinkering with Darius and have several variations of him at present.  He's one of my favorite characters. :)

    It was time to render a guy instead of talking about rendering guys, so why not the rightful King of Wakanda? (LOL)

    Not really Killmonger, tho. I don't have scarification morphs, and I didn't try to make the face look like Michael B Jordan... but SamSil's hair is so good here, you can't help but think of Killmonger.

    Base skin is FWSA Kheiron, who was a Centaur 7-era guy. (Makeup choice from Kheiron is my nod to Killmonger's scarification.) This is Genesis 3. The Kheiron skin has a better translucency map than other Genesis 3 maps, but it's just a duplicate of the Diffuse. I made a new set of trans maps to create more interesting skin effects.

    Thanks. smiley Just showing my support for the thesis of this discussion topic, LOL.

    All respect to the late Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther, but Killmonger is just a more interesting character to me.
    Plus, Killmonger's got all that "bad boy"/"naughty" edge to him. Just a lot more fun.

    Brought up the light levels this time. (I didn't try too hard to make him look like Michael B Jordan, as I said. It's mostly just SamSil's hair doing the work here.)

    I should get the African blades from Merlin Studios... next time they're discounted or I need to use my PC+ coupon, I guess.

    Killmonger, why did you break your hockey stick in two? cool

    Here's a Genesis 8 figure... NOT.

    This one also is Genesis 2!
    Just because it's older doesn't mean you can't work with them.

    I noticed the props that I used were set up for both Genesis 2 and Genesis 3 in the product decriptions.
    So why not go with some Genesis 2?

    IMO, one of the best base figures of the G2M era is Darius 6. If I use Genesis 2, Darius 6 is usually one of the first that I think of.

    He is also, IMO, the best of all the Dariuses (Darii?). Darius 7 and Darius 8 just aren't as good as the Genesis 2 version.
    I usually have to rearrange his face because Darius 6 is so distinctive, it takes me out of the fiction when I see him. Same goes for Victoria 6/7/8 and the Michaels.
