Description
I'd like to introduce the newest character in my 'stable': the Stygian Elf.

"Her name is unknown, as are her origins. Her goal, however, is clear: the slaying of Daemons and other abominations. Fuelled by a hatred for that which she hunts and which burns brights, she nevertheless manages to hide her motives. It's rumored she's one of the Seven Scions of the Sword."

This picture is in a few ways a first for me.

Firstly, it's the first time I've used reflections in a way that adds to the scene and isn't a novelty, as it is in some of my old pin-ups.

Secondly, it's the first time I've used deformers in a scene, though it's hard to notice it's there. Which is good, trust me The following will be slightly technical and probably only understandable for DAZ|Studio users, but: the shirt she's wearing doesn't have any morphs.
Since I gave her the 'Stylized' morph, which means bigger breasts, I had to use two deformers on the shirt's collars to cover her breasts up. Which turned out to be pretty easy

Thirdly, it's the first render in some time that managed to crash my copy of DAZ|Studio several times I've still no idea why exactly, but in the end I managed to prevent the crashes by reducing some of the quality options, such as the antialiasing. Luckily, IMO that's not all that obvious

Fourthly, I've used some of the resource I have for the first time, most notable Stonemason's Ministry and Antfarm's Fantasy Forge

Fifthly and finally, it contains the biggest postwork 'operation' I've done thus far I'll let you guess what it is

Alright, as ever:
Feel free to ask what Poser/DAZ|studio resources I've used exactly and download it for the full resolution version!
