Description
Alexander is ready to cast his first magic spell (on you!).
Thank you all for your great feedback and suggestions.
This helped a lot getting Alexander this realistic!
Rendered in Maxon Cinema4D R11.5 using GI and a very complex light- and reflection-system of my own. Alexander is M4 based with mayor improvements on the textures.
I am using my own skin shader and my own shader extensions for the eyes. The mesh is hypersmoothed and optimized. The curtain is modeled using hypernurbs to.
The spell is created using light sources combined with fractal shaders... My first own magic spell!
I hope you all like him. His evolution can be seen here:
If you would like to peep the 3d mesh under Alexanders skin, you can do that here:
Thanks again for your great support!

he's so cheeky perfectly balanced attention has been paid to the proportions, the texture etc as well as the scene, lighting AND personality of the "model"... brilliant

Wow. I look at him and am like, "This isn't a photograph?"
You've gotten the proportions perfect, his smile and body are...drool worthy XD
And I absolutely adore how you did the spell. Most people do a swirling light cupped in the palm, or something similar, but yours really honestly looks like he is about to do something awesome...like rip open reality or something. Kudos to this. I'm now going to go drool over your angel's, because they are heavenly (couldn't resist the pun, sorry XP).

Thank you very much. Alexander is one of my best human renders so far...
It was a challenge to get his skin and his eyes that way.
I am realy glad you like him...

Haha, challenge for you is an impossibility for me XD
It's (really) hard not to like him *goes to stare some more*

Thanks Luiza! I am glad you like Alexander.
He came a long way to become the 3d mesh he is now. See here: [link]

Definitely worthy of the DD! I love the expression. It truly doesn't make him look like a computer-generated character... I mean, that smile! Haha. Love the body, too, of course, but also in the regards that he's not overdone. His tone and muscle definition are realistic, for sure.
Looks fantastic! Congrats on the DD.

Thanks Saxy!
The expression was one of the greatest challenge creating this human render.

It's sorta like dA.. But.. It's naughty!
Click this to get to their home page.. [link]
Just like here on dA.. You have to become a member to see the good stuff.
If you become a member.. Check out this artist.. [link]
I think that artist's trolls look a lot like yours. Such as this one.. [link] (But.. This link will not work, UNLESS you have two browser windows or tabs open.. In one window you have to be signed on as a member in Y!gallery.. in the other window of tab, have this message showing.. THEN this link works just fine)
