Finalizing my art pieces that will make up the bulk of the promo for the second installment in the “Outlanders” series, “Mama Shotgun”. While the full rendered pieces will be used on the products, I’m absolutely in love with doing these pen and ink style renders in Poser 2014. The style I’m managing to reach with them is starting to land somewhere between Tim Bradstreet and Travis Charest, something I’m very pleased with. More details on “Mama Shotgun” to come…
“Some say the Devil himself spat out the horrors that we all hide from now, a punishment for mankind’s failures. Papa always said that was a load of crap. I’m not sure what made him so certain, but he truly believed most of those things had been human once.”

This guy really amps up the use of advanced Poser 9/2012 features including:
* Advanced shader system setup attached to the full body morph dial for turning on the pustules on his back; it literally dials in degrees of the different texture setup with the morph so there is no clumsy setups needed. One dial does it all, morph and materials both!
* See that belly pouch? Seen the Apocalypse Girl comic pages yet? If you have, you’ll know there are two spindly arms tucked away in there. What’s particularly nifty here is that there is an animation cycle that is hard wired into a single dial on the character’s chest; using that dial will cycle through the unfurling or hiding of the arms as it peels back the belly skin. Again, one dial does it all, driving multiple body parts for a smooth, effortless animated transition.
* Also, the figure makes extensive use of skin weights and some really interesting techniques sort of buried in the skin weight system for creating rotationally driven muscle bulges joint blends.
Getting closer to the end of the beginning, the origin of our post apocalyptic heroine, Apocalypse Girl! Two new pages are up, and two more on the way soon to round out her first chapter, “Double Barrel Thunder”.
