Very, very nice deddy! Most excellent! And 107 layers? I think that would crash my PC if I tried it in PSP.

That's just gorgeous, Ded amigo. And 107 layers, such subtle combinations -- I'm glad to have a hint of the work that's involved behind the scenes.
The model is superb. She wears the jewelry with panache and carries her wings well. The harsher light on her is more like what would be seen in space, methinks, un-softened by air.
(I did have to wonder, though: The image isn't missing anything at the top, is it? Was it cropped?)
Thanks for bringing along this lovely lady!

thanks for the comments everyone!!! Scott - i was getting worried about a crash myself, i've never made a pic with that many layers before Grey - Really glad you like this one grey. The original source pic was cropped at the top and bottom, normally something i try to avoid, but this one had such a perfect flying pose i had to use it. The jewellery she is wearing is jewellery made by various tribes in the SW region. Her actual costume was made from scratch, with the designs again being from various SW tribes. It may interest you to know that the black and white symbol in the center of her breachcloth actually means "morning star" (aka the dawnstar) in the Arapaho tribe.

Awesome job Ded! It's cool that you did research for accuracy. I hadn't really noticed that symbol before you mentioned it.

And now into a run of fantasy art. Most of this is a bit old, and most of it is from a DnD campaigne i was in. This is one of my characters, Silur Cha, one of the Lizard Folk. He was a mage, specializing in illusions. He provided some much needed magic support to the team and as a result of being Lizard Folk, some brute force as well. Also, for those of you familiar with Babylon 5; he spoke like Zathros....even called his familiar (a crow) "the one".....which made all other crows "not the one"

Continuing the fantasy run..... This is Thailus Ar'Daenar, an elvish Warrior Priest. He was a specialized undead slayer. The 1st Image is Thailus more or less as he appeared at the beginning of the game. The 2nd image is Thailus about 1/2 way though. At this point he (and several other party members) had been touched by a evil power. This touch gave him various firebased abilities (everyone touched recieved some powers, signified by the coloured scar over the eye). The final image is Thailus just before i retired him. By now his fire abilities are out of control and he is locked into a suit of living armour to help control it.

Another member of the same adventuring party, Brehanna Steelheart. She started out as a paladin (1st image). However she was touched by the same power that touched Thailus and fell from grace (she recieved Psioic abilities). Shortly after that she was bitten by a werewolf and became one herself (2nd image). Finally her abilites grew and she shed her armour in favour of psionic sheilding. Bad idea Brehanna!!! She was killed by the party, because we were lead to beleive she was a traitor.
