that’s in reply to #7, not sure why its all the way down here. nesting depth limit?
Yep. You hit the nesting limit :)
Stereotypically it all too often does, but you’re right – it shouldn’t.
More practically though, polished armour is useless if you’re trying to remain in the shadows. I imagine that armour belonging to a Paladin of Lolth would be immaculate, but with a matt finish.
I think the rendering is well-enough performed, but the overall effect for me is that she is a cheesecake offering at a lingerie football half-time show.
Also, um, you may want to check the placement of swords and other weapons for unintended Freudian imagery. ;)
I dunno. Render a barbarian guy (such as any of these) and there’s not a word of complaint. As soon as you render a woman – a strong, positive one in a non-submissive pose at that – and it’s “a cheesecake offering at a lingerie football half-time show” and using Freudian imagery.
Oh, it’s okay, Robin. I render Half-Naked Vickies all the time, you know that. I just have a hard time associating lawful good with an unpolished armor.
Please note that I don’t think she’s a cheesecake offering at a Superbowl half-time lingerie show. Besides, you’ve read my blog enough to know that. :)
Nice job! Keep up the good work =)
Hey. Well, another half-naked Vicky. I guess that’s better than Vicky Naked in a Temple with a Sword. ;)
I wonder if she represents paladins at all, her armor doesn’t look polished.
It’s not the polished armor that makes a beautiful paladin –
It’s the lack of armor that does it.
-Tourq
not all paladins serve deities of good.
Eh?
why would a paladin of lolth or vecna wear polished armor?
Why not?
Does evil equal physically ugly?
why would polished armor = beauty?

:sigh:
I’m biting my lip here. Really, really hard.
The guy with the snake writhing between his legs is another example.
If you think I have a problem with women in strong poses, you are desperately mistaken.
I’m sorry you didn’t want an honest opinion on your displayed work.
Not at all. I welcome your honest opinion, especially if it differs from mine :D It just mystifies me, that’s all.
You see “a guy with a snake writhing between his legs”, I see someone riding a dinosaur. Different perceptions, I guess.
Fair enough.

What can I say? I like strength and beauty.
Also, I wish I could play in Friday Night Tights! I’d be all over that!
Wow. So many comments on a simple render. I’m honoured folks. Thanks, all!
