Description
Ahhhhhhhhg!This piece was a nightmare! This is the next in the "random" series. The color is Yellow this time.
A) Yellow is my least favorite color.
B) The selection of items this time around was really difficult to work with for some reason.
C) Finding a good camera angle was far more difficult than it should have been.
I almost gave up and declared defeat on this one, but the character was just interesting enough that I didn't want to abandon her.
The magic effects are from a structure I modeled in wings 3D and then used angle-of-incidence materials on to get the glowing effect.

I'm glad you didn't give up. I love the how you achieved the swirl.
This year I want to get back into 3d art and do more texturing experiments

That's very cool indeed. Could possibly have gone without the glasses prop but the swirl is inspired work.

Ahhh... but then that is the headache of trying to use "randomly" selected objects.....

So you mean the swirl around the character is 3D geometry? Wow now *that* is something different.

Yep. It is. Fun with deformers.

I wonder how dense the mesh was to handle that much torsion and still keeping smooth. ^^

By running a smoothing algorithm after the distortion. I didn't say it was low polygon count.

I do wonder why you didn't make her blond, though. 
Seeing stuff like that makes me so deliriously happy I introduced you to Wings3d!
You're kicking my ass with it. GREAT JOB!
It looks sort of like yellow hot glass. Must NOT STARE AT LIGHT! HYPNOTIC!

The original did have her as blond.... It was just to much yellow.... There had to be some kind of contrast.
BTW: I am really happy you introduced me to wings3D as well!

Some times I just have to remember that NOT things I've done are bad.

I love these color theme pieces. The tattoo/markings on her leg are great.
