Here’s the final version. :slight_smile:

I’ll be posting a hair tutorial/script especially for Zoid soon. Enjoy!

[Made some minor changes after a particularly brutal critique in another forum.] :slight_smile:

Congratulations for all of your hard work! It has paid off with a truly splendid scene. Her expression is cheerfully smug, which I really like given the subject matter. The clothes are nicely done, and I really love that necklace! Is that a Christian Dior? :wink: I think my favorite part is the frog. The scene leaves it completely ambiguous as to whether she just turned him into that or he was already like that and is hoping she’ll turn him into a prince.

Right on, W/O!! :sunglasses:
This one was worth the wait, and I’ve found it fascinating watching you turn a sketch into a 3D scene…Thanks for the insight, and the fine result! :+1: :+1: :+1:

Great, It was nice to see the development of this image. You would be surprised at how much I learned watching the transformation from a sketch to a masterful bit of art. Heartest congratulations are in order for a job well done. :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:

Wow Winged-Won, once again I have quietly watched and waited for this dramatic finish. I grabbed this image off my browser and opened it in Photoshop to be able to see everything. The gemstones, the choker, the extra tone inside the hood, and the puzzled look on the frog. So many great details. I especially like the way that the flowing rope belt and the sleeves and the hair all work together to activate the whole composition. Your treatment of the hair is what I am also trying to achieve. I am trying lots of ideas. Here is one rough test I did recently.

I look forward to your hair script as I’m sure many others do also :smiley:

just in time! kudos, WingedOne, and thank you so much for taking us along on this wonderful journey to perfection! :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:… i still hope that you’ll make a documentation thread on the development of the Spell including all stages of it’s evolution, but as a bonus for new members i felt free to collect the respective urls (hope i didn’t miss one) here: 1 - prelim sketch, 2 - a little farther along, 3 - added arms, hands & legs, 4 - added spellbook and started to work on clothing, 5 - getting close to done.

winged one; I promised you I’d unleash my full praise when this was done, so here it goes;

:+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:

=D hope it is enough to cover up for your expenses in time, effort and artistic exhaustion.

I REALLY love the hair, and do try posting it to the anime sites aforementioned, I’m certain it will be warmly accepted.

Zoid> I can’t wait for the zscript too. my current method takes geological aeons to complete.

hansl> you’re so obliging for putting up compilations of threads. thank you

Bravo! Just the right amount of fun and artistry :+1: :+1: :+1: It has been really great seeing this develop thou I am still left with the question, is that a frog to be a prince or a frog that used to be a prince :slight_smile: By the ??? and the look on his face I cpect he was an ex boyfriend.

#12

I saw this picture as it developed through previous posts and it’s really incredible. Hope I can do something as good soon.

Big thanks to W/O for this…not only for a wonderful image, but for stimulating others to deal with related techniques. :sunglasses:
And also a big :+1: to Juandel for his distillation of the process via his step-threads!
