Very nice! What did you use to model/render them?
And how long have you been practicing? They really don't look like you're new to that kind of thing.

Hi Waywocket!
Nice to see ya

Well I do have some background, both in theory and practice, but that dates back to more than ten years. Todays tools and resources are sooo much better than the stuff I used way back...
Concerning the images above: They were done using Bryce, DAZStudio and Poser6 with a bit of help by GIMP for texture modifications / postwork and Shade for modelling. I have been playing with these and a couple other tools in my spare time for about two months now. What was probably more important was to learn how many models and textures are available today both free and commercially. No longer necessary to reinvent the wheel every time like I did ten years back

Today it's more like a photographers job, getting the scene, the lights and the camera right. For instance, the Elminster above is based on the Michael figure from DAZ, the Skeleton is based on the Michael Skeleton also from DAZ. I did not build them myself, just 'hired' them and adjusted them for my needs
All the best,
Yacomo
