Just in time

I almost went the entire month of July without posting here. Until the last few days, I had not done much new artwork. I still don't have a new PC, but I've rigged up an old computer that works albeit very slowly. And it bogs down in the middle of saving work sometimes, which translates into lost work.

Arrrrrgggghhh (in my best pirate voice)!!!!!!!

Anyhow, here are a couple of new shots.

I was playing around with some mountain terrains in Bryce and, as I was adjusting the sky settings, I happened upon this sunrise.

The second shot is one of the standard scenes that comes with DAZ3D, slightly restaged and relit.

 

Finally, this is a little thing I did in DAZ, using some elements that I got from them for free.

Variations on a Theme

 After I got home Saturday from the Music Fest for MDA, where I played in the classic rock band MOZO, I was dead tired but needed to unwind for a while. So I spent a couple of hours editing some of my 3D-modeled pictures. I posted the original of this one a few days ago. Here are some new versions of the same shot.

There are things about each of these that I like. I find it interesting that merely changing the colors of various elements can evoke such different moods. I'll probably use all these (as well as other variations of the same pic) as backgrounds for some of my other 3D models.

The original picture (which I posted last time) was made in Bryce 7.1 Pro. All the editing - on that shot and these - was done in Gimp 2.6.
