These are special days - Schmuckscale thinks he can do a back-flip.  Good luck Schmuck!

A different render ; nice !
The dragon Schmuckscale   is it yours Pfrancke ?

Kadri.

[pfrancke]

Why yes, since I bought it from Daz - it is the default Millennium 2 dragon.  Which hopefully will help me learn the DazStudio 3 better (a great way to pose models and pump out obj formats into TG2).  The trouble with the Victoria Model is that you have to find clothes, or else you find yourself making naked babes and getting into trouble.  The dragon doesn't need clothes - he looks fine in his scales!!
Edit --- I could never create a model like that! -- End Edit

Schmuckscale roars "where are you Witch! It is said that the Noble One will protect you - Where Are You!"

its a nice dragon model

Schmuck roars "I have to find the witch.  Only she knows how to blend DandelO dust and Seth Crack.  I'll crack her head with the Ogre Canon if she doesn't soon appear.  I'll just sit on Dies Nef until I smell her out.  My friend Duf the black lab has taught me to smell, though he says I still smell bad.  The clouds buzzzzz again between my ears.  But my head looks like the mighty black lab head does it not, let me hold it just so.  Where is the Witch!"

LOL. I really like this render. It reminds me of a Margaret Wiess and Tracy Hickman novel, Dragons of Autumn Twilight, a Dragonlance novel.

I like the first and the last ones best.

The middle one does an excellent job of demonstrating my post-processing skills - damaging.  DandelO, Thank you for those wonderful cracks by the way!!!!!

"Oh Schmuck, you are a good son - when you are asleep, to have your picture taken with your mother.  You must never know this, you get too angry".

Technique was all Klas as described in Ashunder "spotlight" article - http://www.terragen.org/index.php?topic=4840.msg39125

Nice one, but why do all witches wear pointy hats in images? None of the witches I know do.

I would remove the witch and setting up the Millennium Dragon 2 for use of displacements (no Ray trace objects/Ray trace everything). And a  bit more specularity on the dragon.
/edit: Oh, and some smoke on the nostrils
