Elemental Faeries #2: Fire

Well, having finally completed Water, Fire seems to now be screaming for his turn. And so, I've gotten a decent start thus far. I'll post a preview of the faerie himself later, but for now I thought I'd give you a look at the setting and background for the pic. ;)

Ok, here's the afore promised WIP, giving you a good look at the Fire faerie himself. Still got some posing work to do with his arms, and then some special effects and postowkr to do. But this gives you a good idea of what I am aiming for.

Got a bit more done now. I'm almost happy with the way he is posed, though I keep loosing his left hand in the wings. I'll have to work on some ambience, see if that helps out.

Ok, I've gotten a bit more done now, and am getting even closer to this being finished. I worked with the lighting tonight, and think I've got it just where I want it. Especially with the way it now has a more dramatic effect and look to it. What do you think?

=chuckles= Well, you would have to ask a rather complicated question, eh? I use a program called Poser for most of what you see there. The background is an actual, real image of a solar flare, brought to you care of NASA. Textures for the elemental himself I created in Photoshop. All posing and lighting is done in Poser itself.

Tell you what hun. When you come out to visit us, I'll sit you down and show you in more detail how I go about creating an image like this. Deal? ;-)

Ok, things are coming along nicely at this point I think. I have the lighting right as I want it, and now am working on the trail of fire. In this WIP image, the tube is currntly just a reference point for the location of said fire trail, though if I can work out a way to make it look more like a trail of fire, and less like a tube, all the better. ;)

Let me know what you think folks. Registration to the Forums here is free, and I would love to know what folks think of this fella so far. Especially since I hope to have him done within a week or so from now. :)

Ok, I've made a few small changes to the path the fire trail will take. Thanks again to all those that gave me a few critiques. They do help alot, believe me.

This is now officially ready for postwork. I probably won't have any time to work on it again until this weekend, but with a bit of luck, I hope to have it completed by Monday.

Thanks love. I think he's come along alright...

In fact, for those watching this progression, you will be glad to kow that he is FINALLY finished! :)

To see the completed image, just go to the "New Works" area. There, you'll find a folder with his name on it.

Thanks to all those that have been keeping en eye on this guy as he's progressed from the early stages to now.
