Description
The man has reached his final destination. A place that held him like the inside of a balloon, covered in slime, giving a horrible stench, but gave nothing to the eyes. He could move all he wanted but was unable to even stand. The creature that held his dark prison began to move, causing the whole inside to jump and sway. It was so strange to the man: something moving so much was held in place by nothing, at least nothing he could see. He pushed the fleshy walls with all of his might, hoping there might be a place where a tear could happen; but the soft walls were soild in their shape. The man eventually gave up and sat in the center of the strangly shaped container, feeling the horse move.Finally done! This was a commission for as a follow up to his first one. The most challenging thing about both commissions was the amount of posing: in both commissions there were almost always 4 things in the scene at once. But still a fun commission. It took a long time to finish, but it is finally done.

Considering that horses are omnivores, the protagonist might have a chance of surviving in a horse. Though I'm sure things are far different in this world. Either way, I hope things turn out alright for this guy.
I've also taken a look at some of your other works. You're pretty good with lighting systems. That's still something I'm attempting to work on.

Lighting was difficult in this series, considering I had to light both the interior and exterior. I just used a couple of point lights every few feet and it did the trick, but it needed an ambient light to counter some of the really dark shadows.
Ive gotten better with lights, but I still like preset lighting. I dont know what program you use, but the Uber Environment light for daz is a great lighting system. I didnt use it here, but a lot of my really good images use the Uber environment.

Ah, I may have to look into Uber Environment then. I found it difficult to set up lighting in Blender and I'm usually just stumbling about. Though I hear the 3-Point lighting system is a good method to use when creating realistic lighting.
Good luck on your future projects!

Whats nice about the Uber environment is it has shadows, light, ambient light, and specular all in one. Its the only light necessary in the scene. You can add more, but for overall lighting it works great by itself. Its main downfall (for some of its presets) is it doesnt work well in interiors. You can change it to have ambient occlusion, add some other lights, and then it works good indoors.
Go to daz3d.com. DAZ studio is free as well as a neat dragon model to get you started (look in freebies, its called the Millenium Dragon 2) DAZ comes with the uber environment light already.
Thanks! And if you ever make any cool stuff in blender Ill be happy to test it out!

I see. Unfortunately the project that I'm working on is completely interior. It's a subway station and tunnel for an animation competition. I'll have a look at it anyway. I'd like to get into doing models of people and creatures along with weapons and vehicles. Though I have no idea where to start tutorial wise and I haven't found a good series yet. Blender.com seemed to have something promising.
I'll download and install DAZ once my Internet clears up. As for you testing my stuff, it'll probably be a very long while. I can do basic scenes however.

Hah at the gargoyle hound looking up at the bulge
Mm~ I'd commission (or request, if you're still up to that in exchange for some of the donations I sent Unless of course the recent Wyvern teachings was meant for that
) a few extra where Mr RedHead makes it out alive (I mean come on he worked so hard
No one else in the city has had that sort of determination thus far
) and meets up with me
Someone of that caliber definitely deserves to spend a moment with a clumsy wyvern such as myself ^^ And I do need a human friend or two in the city
Ya know, to defend me from people with pointy things and other weapons?

Ill have to see what ecurrie says. I think he was planning on the man getting rescued. Maybe we could split the commission up somehow, like you decide the end and he gets the beginning. Or if he doesnt want to do the commission, I could transfer it over to you (and the stomach models are payment, I still owe you )
