The Far Reaches Webcomic

You may note if you’ve been reading a while that girls are not what I draw best. Brin always looks different and so does Vellara. I’ve never been good at making them really pretty. But I was getting back into playing with Daz Studio (which I like WAY better than Poser), and the Victoria 4 model. She’s probably the awesomest female 3d model for sale and you can morph her to look like anything from aliens to a guy. I don’t know if I mentioned it but after Baltimore Con I caught the official Baltimore Con Cold of mega doom and desolation. I’m still feeling the effects of it. But for a week when I was really sick and like didn’t feel up to going anyway I got totally obsessed with 3d again. And I was looking at renders and screen captures of the 3d characters from the Final Fantasy games, which of course are amazingly cool to look at. So I decided to try and make Victoria 4 look like a Final Fantasy girl character. What I ended up with was a really great original face, although not exactly like FF.

Anyway, the last few times doing Vellara I used this 3d character as reference. She came out looking a little less cartoony than I normally go for, but I kind of wanted that for Vellara. And her pose is still a bit stiff. But even so I’m pretty happy with how she looks. At least she’s consistent.
