Description Thanks to Anah and Toren (and a not-so-subtle hint in my journal), I had a chance to work with on another art trade (Yayyyyy art trades!!!!), and she wanted to know if I could do a 3D render of her character, Black Matryx in return. She gave me lots of character images to use as reference, and that was extremely helpful, but I was thrown by the fact that her character had a tail. A big one.

I had only a paltry little Raptor tail in Poser. So I actually went and spline-modeled one in Cinema 4D. The tail itself turned out great, I thought; the fringe probably not so much, but I managed to color it up in Photoshop and the end result wasn't half-bad.

So there she is. Black Matryx (c) Elle-chan, and thanks go out to Awful Soul, Bat Labs, Danie/Marforno (whose name I know I constantly butcher), Daz, and the inestimable et al.

Enjoy!

I quote:
"I had only a paltry little Raptor tail in Poser. So I actually went and spline-modeled one in Cinema 4D." Notice how calm and modest he sounds saying this.. this makes me want to say...

That's what you get for being so talented. You suck man... but in a very good way.


You leave me no choice but to unleash the...

Ahhhhh! Forked!!!! And boffing bunnies on top of that!!!!! I'm blind, I tell ya! BLIND!!!!!

And sure, spline modeling might sound difficult, but.... mmh. Okay, yeah, it is, a little. Fortunately, I took a class and stuff, so I actually have some limited idea what I'm doing. ^_^

I'm realy glad you liked it, darlin! I was extremely happy the way the tail turned out, myself, especially considering the way I couldn't do up a tail worth ^#$@& in Poser! ^_^

This is very cool, she is quite stricking, and that is one serious tail coming out of her butt. I really, really dig the background. Great work.

Why, hello hotsexwithtail.

This is, again, very sweet. But I have to be the usual anal retentive youknowwhat and ask what's going on under her chin? It didn't turn out as delicious as the rest of this picture did!

To be totally honest with ya, Eppy, I have no freakin' idea, except I didn't take time to postwork it out. I'm not sure if it's a shadow, feedback from the reflectivity on her skin, or a brush line that crept in while I was turning back and forth to watch the Pacers-Cavs game while postworking. THAT'LL LEARN ME!!!! FOOLISH ARTISTIC CRETIN!!!
