This must be where the Soulknives train. Program used: Daz|Studio, and Photoshop for retouching and cropping. Models used: Victoria 4 (Daz) Victoria 4 Bodies of Fantasy (Daz) Angeluz (Daz) Ryoko's "Light saber" (Mindblade in left hand) proto-light saber (Mindblade in right hand)

#3 Elton74 Dec 30, 2008 15:04:59	Only armor I could purchase at the time. Although I *do* have a set of Red Sonja-esque armor to dress her in. And I *can* buy some Historical 15th Century armor for Victoria 4. She can move around in that set and is well protected according to D&D's abstracted armor rules, I assure you. Unless you're going to get all Rolemaster-y on me (yes, I have Arms Law too). Good job! A lot of amateur renders fall squarely into the uncanny valley, but you dodged it. I've had lots of practice. ;)
