nice image

i think it looks great

thank you guys!! (:

Nice image & effects would you be so kind as to show in your SBS how you created the head in Bryce/Daz Studio i work in DS & would be very interested in this process

i don't know how to import a screenshot from Bryce/DAZ.....i had to figure out how to process layers to files on my own in photoshop.....BUT, of course, I will try to figure it out. It's just a pain, cuz I have one computer with my Creative Suite software ad WOW, then another comp with my Bryce and Microsoft office on it (i don't like cluttering one comp with too much software, slows productivity). If you could tell me how, that would save me a lot of pondering....(:

however, I can TELL you how I did it - I just create my figure in DAZ, import it into Bryce, then if I'm focusing on one body part, I delete all the uneccessary parts that I don't need, left the head here...I think I had the background settings on full black (sky and ground, if you don't want reflection, you lower the shine and keep it flat/matte)....then I added a round light, which I positioned carefully over the head in order to create the light difference you see, and I added an image to the light to give it some color distortion. That's it....the trick is all in the lighting.

oh...and the head model i used is Victoria 4, the freebie....I haven't bought a single add-on yet, although I'm thinking of building an arsenal of comic book characters, and am looking forward to creating my own figures....

oh....and of course, using my limited morphing abilities, I widened the eyes in DAZ for max explosion.

Very batty ...nicely done indeed...good luck.

whoah cool

Great atmosphere nice work!

Thanks a lot CMYK46, Tuckinator & Warlock!

very nice feel

gud work + imagination.......bt mountain's top area luks bit flat.....

cool

reminds me of the bats movie lol great mood

Thank you. How should i make the mountain look more realistic? (not flat) =)

really nice idea & job author ... GL

hey nice work

cool

Thanks to all of you!

very nice balance of shape and form author.. the two merging triangles are a risk as they could easily throw you up and out of the picture but the complex base really retrieves you back into the focus of the whole composition.. quite nice.. even though it is very dark.. but that's just me and my eyes (I'm a tad bit addicted to color IMHO

take off, or reduce the outer glow on the mountain.. will make it look more realistic, and if your going to put a blur on any of the bats, put it on all of them. it actually doesnt look bad with a minor blur. maybe make a copy of a flattened layer (select the top layer and press command+option+shit+E, this will duplicate all your layers and flatten them into one) after that, do a bit of a diffuse glow (if that helps with the brightness) or add a medium gaussian blur, and set the blending mode to overlay, and bring down the opacity to around 20. this'll help give it a smooth, yet sharp effect.

great feeling!

Excellent idea.. nice work author ! good luck!!
