Jaxal Lasan


A render for an upcoming Star Wars game. I'm going to print it out and make a little paper A-frame out of it. So I can set it out during the game, so everyone else will know what my character looks like.

Red Sorceress

One of my toughest renders so far. The glowing spheres of magic around her hands was quite the challenge. Its also still in need of some post work to fix some of the lighting around her neck.

Steel House

This is made up of simple objects that I threw together quickly to show what I steel arch house might look like.

Town Square

I tend to a lot of portrait type and close face shots. This is a longer shot to mix it up a bit.

Last pass

This is an older render that I did. Lighting is fairly simple but reasonably effective. The knight model I used here is what I would change the most. Its to simple and comes off flat and cartoonish.

Overall I think it has a nice sense of story and action. That leaves the view wondering what is coming next.

Winter


I thought I would try my hand at a more winter themed picture, and this is the result. No post work as of yet, but I intend to do so with this piece. I'm going to try to make it look more like an oil painting and I think this render is a pretty good start.

Perception


Thanks to Tygercub's suggestions I went back and worked with this image, and this is what came of it.

Along with the lighting I changed the viewing angle to one that looks a little more dramatic.

Summoning


This is my latest picture to date and I am very pleased with how it game out.

I rendered the background and foreground seperatly. Then gave the background a gaussian blur and combined it with the foreground in Gimp 2. Ended up saving a huge amount of render time.

Perception


I played with this render for a while and have not made it fall together. There is something or several somethings not quite right about it and I can't figure out what.

As alway all suggestions are welcome.

Gold Dragon


Gold Dragons are suppose to be good right? Right!?

Flying Castles


Flying Castles are great in my book. Right up there with Dirigibles and Zeppelins.

I'm pretty happy with this pic in general but I would love any suggestions on how to make the rocks look more realistic.

Generic Elf


I was playing around with the new DAZ figure V4 and Poser 7 and this is what came of it.

Not bad if I do say so myself.

A good Scratch


Not all interactions with dragons have to go badly. You just need to know how to get on their good side.

CHOMP!


I was doing what I could to get the maximum amount of depth in this picture. To give it that 3d coming out of the screen kind of feel.

The Naming


This is the entry I submitted for a juried art competition. It made it to a gallery showing but didn't win anything in the way of prizes.

The biggest problem I had with it, was getting it printed. I took it to a local Kinkos to have it printed on a 16 by 20 in sized canvas but it came out way too dark and at the time I didn't have the time or the money to have it redone.

Oh well, live and learn

Contempation

An evil wizard plotting his next cunning plan.

I really like having strong shadows in my pictures but it may come at the expense of making them too dark.

Matron Mother

How do you make a member of nearly immortal race look old enough to but not too old?

Check your Six

Focus is a good thing but you should never be so focus that you miss what is coming up behind you.

Dagger Throw

Throwing away your weapon is seldom a good idea but some times its your only option.
