"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 I’m 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!

Well, I'm completely broke (go figure) and I'm not doing much shopping at the show, but at least I got one day out of the deal. It might be just all I need cause I'm not huge on long lines and big crowds stuffed in buildings. It will be fun I'm sure!

I hear lots of booths give stuff away...and they did that at SIGGRAPH, too...but it was all spam and junk mostly. I want good stuff if I have to tote it around for 8 hours.

Children!? Hey, hey, hey, hey now!! Don't be scaring me like that! LOL! I'm just hoping a super heroine will grab me after the show and show me some of those neat super powers in private! One never knows! I still don't have a decent camera to bring and apparently mom doesn't trust me enough with hers. I'll have to pick one up cheap at the discount store I guess. 8 MP should be good enough for that. I'll just take hi res shots and scale them down when I get back...stuff that baby full of mem cards for the win. Hehehe!

LOL! You certainly have a way with words there! I suppose I could take a lesson or two and pipe down a bit cause I realize that I do talk too much most of the time! Hehehe! It probably stems down to my complete isolation, but I prefer things that way. Thanks so much for the and I'm happy you liked and didn't laugh too hard!

Well, we could always chat about rugby again but I don't know the rules! I'm not even sure if there are any rules to be honest! The last pro rugby game I saw, there were dead players on the field and they still kept on playing!! Now that is determination and dedication and team effort!!!

So charming!!
I love the patent leather effect and I adore the tail.
I hate to admit but this is so beautiful and you are a little crazy. What kind of an imagination you have?

MythArcana In reply to Canankk [2009-06-29 22:12:39 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha! Well, that is quite a mix of words there! Charming, crazy, beautiful...yup, that's me alright! LOL! I don't know where I come up with this stuff really...I guess I'm just bored of the same old thing and I want to get a reaction from people or something. I suppose I could get more wild, but then I might have to check the mature flag and this is pushing it as it is! Thanks so much for the nice comment and the , I most appreciate it and I told you this would be very weird!

Oh, How I missed this!??!!
I closed my pc a little early I suppose! Yesterday I banged my knee very badly ( I had a little egg on it now) and my brain had also banged because of the pain)

Anyway, I wanted talk about your wonderful girl! She is so charming, dark, scary and beautiful. When I was first I felt breathless. You are a little crazy beacuse you have an unbelieveable imagination and very talented. If anyone has these values together, he must be a little (maybe more ) crazy.

I am affraid of seeing your first painting.

MythArcana In reply to Canankk [2009-06-30 21:06:51 +0000 UTC]

Oh noes! I'm so sorry to hear about your little accident there! You must take care not to bang yourself up like that! Perhaps some knee pads are in order or something! LOL! I hope you are feeling better soon!

Well, I think you are right and I am a little crazy or else I would be an account or a lawyer or something and making big money!! LOL! I guess you could say it's like lot playing Dr. Frankenstein trying to put lots of different parts and things together to make them work or not. It's kind of fun and a little irritating at times, but I work on it until I get it right.

Yes, my paintings are very scary!! It's not because of the subjects, but because I'm just not very good! LOL! Thanks so much for your wonderful comment and kind words and I hope you are doing better in the next couple of days!

I hope to give you inspiration for your next work. A woman with egg bumps on her knees . Thank you, I didn't go to work, I am better today. Using knee pads is a good idea.

It is good to have a friend who is so talented like you

the diffrent textures look awesome. I really do love these new renders of yours

šŸ‘: 0 ā©: 1

MythArcana In reply to Kjherstin [2009-06-29 22:05:37 +0000 UTC]

All the materials are custom procedurals and I like the look much better than standard texture maps...plus it saves memory, too! I'm still not really huge into portraits and I prefer my big scenes, but I enjoy working on the characters quite a bit. This is still just V3 cause the outfit I used just wouldn't convert to V4 with all the morphs it required. I do have a newer V4 portrait that is done, but it's kind of...Umm....not my style. Hehe!

strong piece.
reminds me about the last movie i saw, x-men origins Wolverine, because of the claws xD
keep it m8

MythArcana In reply to xpsam [2009-06-29 22:02:39 +0000 UTC]

It's quite a departure for me, but it's still kind of in the same vein and style really. I prefer full scenes as opposed to these portrait thingies, but it does focus on the character more and that's what I wanted! Yes, the claws...and that was one main reason I ended up doing this thing twice! Thanks so much for the comment and the visit!

Awww, snap. Now I would have had so much time to get the first comment, but I missed it nevertheless. ^^

May I ask what you were using Vue for in this piece? :o

MythArcana In reply to Final-23 [2009-06-29 22:07:45 +0000 UTC]

Well, there isn't exactly a rush or a line to see this today! I checked the front page when I posted this and there was about 53k people online and nobody over here, so there is plenty of standing room! Hehehe! The entire setting is Vue and that was the easiest part...that program is great and doesn't fight me like Poser does! Thanks for the comment and the visit!

Final-23 In reply to MythArcana [2009-06-29 22:10:54 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I have to thank you for showing - it's a great piece, after all.

I just wasn't familiar to Vue being used as a regular renderer. Also - where can you see how many people are online currently? I never see such a number. :o

MythArcana In reply to Final-23 [2009-06-29 22:15:07 +0000 UTC]

Ohhhhhhh, well thanks again, I am happy with your nice words! You can visit the Front Page here [link] You can also put the Today link on your menu where the DA logo is located. You can customize that entire menu row, it's quite cool!

Final-23 In reply to MythArcana [2009-06-29 22:21:05 +0000 UTC]

Ohhh, I am such an idiot. XD

It's because my main dA-page is the channels-view; an old habit as this was what the previous dA-version had as front page. Thank you.

Hey!! Wow! I thought this got lost in space as I posted this 30 minutes ago and nobody came by yet! I really try my best and worked on this one longer than I care to admit! It's strange, odd, weird, and different, but somehow it fits my bizarre personality. Hehe! Thanks so much for the comment and the , you warmed my heart once again!

Nothing really frightens me anymore! hehehe! I think I have seen and done too much cause when I watch horror movies I just end up laughing through most of it!

I cant watch horror movies - the last one I saw was Silence of the Lambs and I nearly wet myself!!!! I cant do with things like that - it was really awful! LOL x
