Hot patent leather ftw. Who is that, by the way? Cause I know you don't just create models for no reason. . .

So Pyraci... you've pretty much done nothing but Poser and DAZ this whole time by the looks of it.

100% PWN.

And so the chisel was reapplied to the canvas.

Welcome back.

This...and what did you do to the background? It looks like some slight vertical motion blur coupled with a little distortion and a lot of gaussian blur.

Did I win anything? lol

I'm glad you guys are enthused! That is what I liked the most about this place.

hahah!

That's Serenity. And you're right - there's always a reason. As for the blur, that's all depth of field my friend - done by the camera in DAZ|Studio. The only postwork I did to this image is add contrast and green tint. Everything else here was done pre-render.

Actually, I've been pretty busy with lots of different things, especially with digital matte and portrait painting. I try to be good at lots of different things.

I'll upload some of that stuff soon as well.

Amazing

You know, looking that pic over, I cannot even fathom how you do that. I can't even draw hands... And how did you give the coat that awesome shine/reflective look?

Bottom line is you are the second coming of christ.

I would agree that he is the second coming of christ, but he is not "drawing" it, otherwise he'd really be the secondcoming of Christ + Buddha + (add another few important people here). He is modeling them in a program, then rendering for high quality.

But he's still pretty good at modelling, though ... Pyraci, I want moar of your drawings too, they're awesomesouce =D

Thanks for the comments, everybody. Sorry I've been out for a while. Work and family have taken all my time this week.

Not a legend, my friend - only a myth. I don't exist.

Yes, but not i$nfo-based I have one to finish in the next few hours or so and then I have a clean queue.

Thanks! The shiny/reflectiveness is programmed in the shader settings - specular glossiness and reflection strength, with some subsurface scattering as well. You can give an object the properties of any surface or substance. It's amazing what these programs can do.

As for the drawing aspect of my work, that is very much alive and well. That's what has occupied most of my time away. They're not Matrix-related, but here are some examples:

*All of the drawing/painting in these images was done in Adobe Photoshop with a mouse.

First.  How do you prefer payment?

Paypal works best, I think. I can pm the details and such if you want.

Except for the angel, I already know them, and their cool. When I'm extremely bored, I sometimes go through galleries on deviant-art, yours is one of them =D

 Your an insanely gifted individual and although I see alot of cool art through MxO your probably one of the most talented artists I have seen over the years even outside of the MMO art forum circut. Granted Im not some old school oil painting snob but I have very high standards especially for drawing and rendering and you continue to impress me. 

I appreciate that, man. I was taught to be a renaissance man - to be skillful at all types of things, especially where art is concerned, and I've been trying to perfect all of the things that I've learned and continue to learn. I love sharing the artwork I make, and I'm glad people like to see it.

What?! No you don't! I was in way before Cadsuane.

And yes, I believe payment is a sound idea... Let's talk money.

Still hoping to catch you in-game.  Feel free to take Proc's request first if you need to, I'm in no hurry. 

Hot ****.  Well if I ever decide to try and request a commission for Maeby, I know where to go.

Outstanding work.

Now look what you did. You've made me feel guilty.

I've no idea what Pyraci's schedule is really. I just don't want him to forget little old me.

I'd like to see what you can come up with from a MxO ingame shot now you have all that extra knowledge and wisdom :D

Hey! Sly devil, you know all about pushing in line don't you?

I'm fairly certain I was in before you!

But considering I have a baby on the way and money is tight at the moment, I'll stand aside for you... this time

As a matter of fact, I've had a look and I was in three months before you. I can supply links if necessary.

Not that I'm being petty or anything. >_>

No need to supply links, and I can't believe I'm continuing this, but I asked a him personally a long time before actually asking on the forums but I guess that wouldn't stand up as evidence

... Now I feel like a five year old in a playground

Stoppit, I already said I'll step aside for you!

Definitely! I'm around if and whenever you're ready.

I'll be on it as soon as I get a new hard drive. Mine is dead at the moment. Though I have extensive backup, so no worry. That's part of the extra knowledge and wisdom

It's all good. Everyone that wants a commission can and will get one.

Have no fear, my memory is better than most. Unfortunately though, capital has to be what starts the commissions these days, as much as I hate to say it. Though I will say that because of the times, I can work for very affordable rates. I won't do too much self-advertising in the middle of Rare and Virrago's forum, but I can get with you guys via PM or email about it.

Mhm ... commision from Pyraci, sounds like an excellent deal, let's see!

Aye, anyone who wants a commission can. I could use the work.

Once my journal is updated, the active queue will be available on Deviantart.

The Grammar Police approves!
