Description
Sable is an original character design I created using the V4 3D model platform by DAZ 3D. I custom created the textures and a unique body/facial morph combination. The inspirations for Sable come from a vast pool of fantasy lore including strong female archetypes such as Red Sonja and Eir Stegalkin. The image itself is a mixed media composition. It was created using 3D elements from Poser Pro 2012 and Vue 11 as well as 2D elements and digital painting in Photoshop CS4 and Paintshop Pro X5. This version has been downsized for internet viewing. The original was 4000 pixels wide and optimized for print.

Strong female archetypes be praised! I really like Sable. She seems a bit frosty to me, like some sort of wrathful, angry snow goddess!

She is gorgeous! The blue of the image, and the tattoos on her face really offset those red eyes!

Thanks Kat She was my entry for the Exotique 8 publishing contest from Ballistic Publishing this year. I haven't submitted anything for a few years so i decided to take a few weeks and put together a nice piece for it this year. They always serve as a great learning experience becuase i always try to push myself to do something above and beyond what I've done in the past and I end up getting some valuable experience from it.

You're very welcome!
Best of luck with this image. I really hope they pick her to be included in the book.
The image is definitely beautiful enough to belong in the book!

Thanks I wanted to do something I hadn't done before and I've had this vague idea in my mind about a tribal character like this for some time, so I decided to give it a go. Had to rummage through so many of my resources to find appropriate tattoo designs. This also gave me a chance to try out Arki's DragonBraid hair which is just a masterpiece
I also wanted an epic looking battle axe for this, and I knew Wartech (FoRender.com) was going to be my go to guy for that. I was also surprised at how well the ruins models held up on the full size image (4000 x 2925). Those are models from back in the V3 and M3 days and while their structure is high res enough, I worried that i would have to retexture them myself in order for them to be high enough res. for print, but they surprised me.

Great work!
This morning I was considering getting the Dragon Braid, now I think I will, it looks great!
I love those ruins, I use them quite often myself, it's a very good prop.
And I also use V3 and M3 when I want to use some old textures I like!
