"Nightmares Prevail"
Software used: Vue Infinite 6, Poser Pro, Photoshop CS3
"Transcending from weary to numb, thy lurid desires rain like splinters impaling the mind and evading all space and time. The shroud of thoughts benign embrace the fragile mind, through flares of bloody gale these nightmares shall prevail." - MythArcana
The Devil made me do it! Not only once, but twice I created this scene because I made some major changes after I had finished it the first time and completely redid everything by changing the design. It might not appear to be at first glance, but this was a lot of work to put together and I tried quite a few tricks to make it pop off the screen. I wanted to try something different and fuse fantasy, fetish, and horror together to see what my imagination could come up with and I arrived at what you see here.
I experimented with hundreds of tweaks and ideas over the past week and I have come to the point of no return and Iām not messing with it any longer! If you like this, please show your support as I highly appreciate it! I will be returning to my full scenes as I have a lot to upload yet, so stay tuned for MOAR in the near future!

I have one that you will LOVE...I just know it. It's one of the most complex and complete scenes I have made ever and I'm quite proud of it. I did most of the modeling in it and it's really pretty. That one will come later on because I want to upload some others first.

I can't either and it's hard for me to hold back, but there is a certain order of things before I drop the big bombs.

For some reason this picture reminds me of scuba diving - hahaha - that's one lost scuba diver!
Anyway, this is a really good piece here buddy! Keep up the fantastic work and I hope you are doing well

Yes! This stared as a scuba diving scene and went horribly awry along the way! LOL! I had stingrays and puffer fish and stuff in there and it just wasn't working! So I pulled them all out and set everything on fire and here we are! LOL! A simple explanation for everything! Thanks so much for the fun comment and the
and I hope you are doing well, too! I'm about to fall asleep but some Zzzzz's will fix that!

Aww, you should have left the puffer fish and sting rays in there! It would have been totally awesome! (lol'd at the thought of char-grilled sting ray
)
Anyway - thanks for the fun reply as well.
Oh I forgot to mention -
THANKS for the watch too buddy

That reminds me that I have no aquatic scenes at all! Not even one! I'll have to work on that I suppose! Hahaha puffer fish!! That is too funny! Than you too and you are quite welcome for the watch! I thought I put you in there earlier, but DA is always messing up on me!

Yeah - you must do one of your characters underwater! And include a puffed out puffer fish in the background. That would be so funny

Oh noes! Is that a good cackle, a bad cackle, or a choking on a Skittles cackle? LOL! See, where I come from, a cackle is use to greet someone after a long period of time! Sometimes this process can take minutes and usually the cackler brings fruit or game to the cacklee. They later on called this tradition Thanksgiving, but that's how it all started! See, you learned something today! LOL!

Ahhh well, that's no good! Hopefully it will come back. Perhaps a mini trip to some place you haven't been before or just take the day to do something different can help. I have too many ideas streaming through my head, but since I'm learning painting...I can't get them realized yet. LOL! Ohhhhh the agony of it all!

Elusive-Psycho In reply to MythArcana [2009-07-08 07:23:26 +0000 UTC]
That is a very good idea. I haven't really taken any time just for myself lately to go find somewhere and get away. I might have to try that suggestion but definitely...So much i want to do but not enough time or i get limited by medium.
I love painting but I'm only alright with watercolor and acrylic. S'all I've learned. They're alot of fun if you just chill with the paints and get to know them before you dive in. yanno?

A lot of different things mixed into one. I see a little bit of BDSM (I think that's what people call it), a little bit of Hellraiser (to me I kind of get that feel from it) and sadly even though it has nothing remotely to do with her or really portrays any part of her at all reminds me of my character Gracious.

MythArcana In reply to M00nTears [2009-06-30 03:09:10 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, she's got a mix of stuff going on there for sure...and actually had more until I pulled it off! She wasn't too happy about that, either! Perhaps I'll send her over to Gracious and they can catfight and stuff. LOL! Thanks for the comment and the visit!

MythArcana In reply to soxrule [2009-06-30 01:50:37 +0000 UTC]
I was looking at it up here and of course I find a couple minor problems. LOL! I just put a new version up...I shrunk the title down below by about half and added rim light to the bone wings things. I also cranked up levels a tad more and sharpened it a bit higher. Then I used a higher compression ratio, too! So this should look a little better.
I really didn't like it at first, but it came to grow on me the more I worked on it. I threw so much crap into the scene that I ended up pulling out bout one third of the stuff. The cool thing is I didn't have to do hair this time! Hehehe! All the materials are custom procedurals that are doing all kinds of math instead of using up memory for textures. They usually come out much cleaner that way but require some knowledge of shader trees. I'm super glad you like it and thanks so much for the , I most appreciate it very much! I almost want to go get a beer after this! LOL!

I did the best I could and I crapped out after a week! LOL! I just noticed something I need to fix, but I'll do that later on. She is pretty wicked and I could have gone much deeper into the rabbit hole, but I ended up pulling stuff out of the scene as it was due to clutter! Thanks so much for the and the comment, I'm happy you stopped by!

Hahaha! I told you it was going to be weird! Perhaps not as strange as I was making it out to be, but I sometimes exaggerate! I have to start setting time limits for this stuff cause I end up putting at least a week into it and feel exhausted at the end. I guess it's like giving birth or something!

You know, I still have all the cute, fluffy, pretty, puffy stuff coming yet and I sit there and look at it and shake my head. LOL! After 5 years of doing that stuff it's nice to cut loose and do crap that I like to work on most. I think this marks a break for me with the new stuff for awhile as I have tons of older stuff to rework yet and I want to learn painting more than anything. I've always struggled with it and it's time to conquer that beast once and for all. Thank you so much for the comment and l you make my heart sing, Wild Thing!

Hey!! It's the mang with the plang! There he is! Vacation sounds good and I'm about ready to do some of that, as well! I'll probably take a couple days off during ComiCon and do something to treat myself. After all, it's probably the only event for me this Summer and I better live it large. Yeah, I really had a time with this chick...A lot of that outfit I fudged together myself and spent and eternity trying to cover those globes so that I wouldn't have to check the mature flag. LOL! I think I did a pretty good job of covering up the fun bits, but this one was definitely out in left field for me! hehehe! Glad to see you are are back and thanks so much for the , I'm feelin' the love, Brotha!!
