Wow, that's great work aurora! Thanks for the explanation on the strap construction, if I ever decide to revisit my pipe, er horn, model I'll give a strap another try.

I highly encourage you too! Have you tried working with Blender? It's free but powerful. If your not use to the big 3D apps the gui is pretty easy to get use to so I'm told. If your used to LightWave, Maya, XSI, Houdini, C4D, 3DS Max, ect then Blender is freaky weird and difficult to adjust to but other then that it will do anything you can ask for, especially when Peach is released. Plus you can easily use your Daz and other assets back and forth no problems.
I absolutely love Candice's work, it's so neat. I think it's perfect, composition-wise. I always envied those who can draw, I can do some marginally passable painting, but drawing is completely above me.
Laura's is so tangible, it kills me, you can really feel the weight! And John's is absolutely hilarious, I love it!
And, of course, what CPU and Aurora do is akin to miracle...

Thank you very much, Jean... That was done completely with a mouse, actually... There was no pencil sketch to begin with, it was freehand in photoshop. I've done far better work... Is there a section for non-DT artwork on this site at all? I'd love to share what I've done in the last year and a half.
Random PM's are loved!

I have tried Blender, but yeah the interface is a little weirdOriginally Posted by aurora
. I'm (obviously
) a relative beginner - mainly due to time constraints. I ended up choosing Cheetah3d because it's relatively cheap, has a "logical" interface, and has all the features a beginner like myself needs. Long, long ago I used to use a program called Imagine on the Amiga for 3D work, too bad it's not around anymore
I don't want to spam the thread with to much talk about 3D packages and questions about how to use them, but I certainly appreciate all your comments so far, and your work is top-notch!
Jean~Thats awesome work.
aurora~It coming along great
These are amazing--I really love yours Jean. Its simple and elegant like I imagined the horn to be.
This one is going to be rough!

You should start a thread in the Art Wall and you guys can talk about it.

Great work.
Just to let you know I'm still working on this when I find stray seconds here and there. This is just to give you the direction I'm taking the render style for this piece. I have to admit I have not decided if I want to take all my pieces hyper-real or not, but it works for this one. Sorry the grain is from the compression. I'll give something much better for the final.

That's cool.

Very nice!
I can't wait to see how it turns out Aurora. I'm wondering about the "Road to the Dark Tower" water mark that you have though, are you associated with Bev Vincent somehow?

Thanks guys.
No, its actually the title of a DT artwork CG blog which will cover several pieces from the Roland's trek to the DT. I have no relation to Bev wonderful book and other work. I had not noticed that I was using the same title till a but to late in the game to easily switch it.I'm wondering about the "Road to the Dark Tower" water mark that you have though, are you associated with Bev Vincent somehow?
FYI, I have managed to get grass added to the plain now plus have the sky and clouds finished but no WIP for those as of right now, maybe later though.
There have been some great entries so far. I'm working on one, which I will hopefully finish in time.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I can't wait to see what you come up with Heather, this one is going to be a trial when voting.

You got that right!

everything looks great so far aurora. can't wait to see the full thing.
Heres a quick shot I did showing the grass field which I rendered for other purposes but since I had it I though I might as well update. I'm actually only an hour or so from finishing this (although many items are not shown and I have the horn textures turned off right now) but I won't have any time to sneak that hour in till this weekend.

Looking good!

Heres a quick look at the as yet unfinished texturing I'm doing on the horn. Last of my Midterms is in a couple hours after that I should have more then enough time to finish this (which honestly surprises me in a very happy way.)

I do like it aurora.
Roland would have understood.
neato!
Very cool!
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell
