don't get me wrong, this is amazing! and u r a hell of a lot better than i am, but i think the clothing could use a little more character

Thanks :-) Well I'm a big fan of detail and colour, but his clothes are plain-looking for a reason. That's all I'll say.

wooo...tis beautiful ^-^

if his eyes were green he'd look like josh holloway. mmmmmm...josh holloway *drools* <333

seriosuly tho, amazing work. big thumbs up 4 u ^____^v

No problem! Seriously though, that is an amazing picture, and anyone with that sort of inspiration must have a well thought out novel to place it in. I can't wait till it's done! But in the meantime, I'm working on my own story, and have been posting it on here. It's on my profile; maybe you could check it out?

Wow that is a piece of art! I'm limited to writing, myself. You mentioned something about a novel. What's it called and you think I might be able to read it?

It hasn't got a title yet and it is FAR from finished, but I'm thrilled to see you have an interest in it already! XD Thank you very much ;-)

WOAH! now that is cool ^^

Might I ask how you managed to create the skin texture on him? And the clothing?. Did you make it yourself?. I have DAZ 3D you see and im just learning how to use it, but I want more realistic skin textures and want to know how to get clothing and armour etc...

Unfortunately I'm not technically-gifted enough to create textures/model things from scratch yet, so I utilise the items I've got to their maximum capability. The models/textures I use need a lot of adjusting and customizing (using DAZ's in-built material facility) to get a more realistic look - otherwise it all ends up looking flat. It takes shaders, reflection maps, bump maps etc; so quite a bit of practice! You might want to try the DAZ 3D website/forums for some tutorials. Hope that helps ;-)

Very good!!

very good

Wow, I really need to learn these 3D rendering programs, works like this are incredible, great technique Jocasta, keep it up

Thank you very much! :-) I shall.

O.o
cool!!! XD

omg that sooooo good!!!! i wish i could do that *coughnevercough* yeah ill never be able to but wow O_O

O.O!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP that is amazing....there's so much detail everything. luv the sword too!! *favesX1,000,000*

oooh so hot! that is so cool. i love this he is so hot!

Wow this is absolutely AMAZING!! so professional, and i love his hair and all that jazz lol

WOW!
That must of taken forever!
You must teach me!


With a Deathly Slash
Ireaon

this is truly amazing , well done !!!
*faves*

Thank you :-)

Awesome!

You are so talented. I simply love the rich details, like in his clothing, hair and sword. Congrats on getting it featured. You've been up there before now, once or twice? Can't remember how many times. But it's all good. Keep up the excellent artwork!! Happy New Year to you!

*massive hug* Thank you!! Infinitely! For everything said!! XD
And a happy new year to you too xxx

Wow! That's really good! And cool too! :)

this looks ahsome and great details...ya know he looks like Basch from Final Fantsy 12 if u really think about it...

Does he? O_O Khrayn's been around in my mind before the notion of FFXII even existed (heck, I didn't even *know* about FF back then XD), so I can honestly say I don't see the resemblance... lol, glad you like though ;-)

Hm, is that a scar I see there by his beard? That's quite an attention to detail!

You spotted right! :-D Detail's an important asset to my characters, so thanks for being observant! ^^

Impressive! It's amazing what 3D software can do these days

I think this is easily 10x better then beaowulf!

Wow, what a compliment! :-D Well, the software is about 10x less advanced than what they used for Beowulf but if you think Khrayn's worthy, I thank you sincerely! XD

i saw this when it was on the new pics section and thought it was funny how it wasnt even off the new pic list and already featured :D great job with that it must be some kind of record! :D anyway this is very lovely it reminds me how they designed leon in resident evil four, you can really see it in the gloves! great job its very professional (sorry if i killed that word its late here XD) once again, very beautiful :D

I have to say, I was pretty gobsmacked myself when I saw it up there XD
Thank you so much for your kind comment, believe me I never tire of such encouraging words! :-D

This is awesome!

Wow amazing!!!

This is so amazing, I love to pose you put him in, and I agree his right hand doesn't look quite natural other than that you hit perfection on the head
two thumbs up and fav

Again, crappy model joint rigging. lol, Thanks ever so much though, glad you like ^_^

your welcome and I don't like I LOVE!!!!!

WwwooooooooowwW. That's really really sweet.
Normally I like to try to find something to criticize so my review can be called "constructive criticism", but I'm having extreme difficulty in finding anything wrong.
I MUST FIND SOMETHING! >.<
I guess my only tiny complaint is that the right hand (our left, his right) looks a tad wooden. His fingers don't look completely natural in that position.
Yeah, that's the only bit I can find that doesn't look quite perfect. If you haven't guessed yet through all this ranting, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PICTURE!! <3333

The lame fingers will be down to the model. M3 is starting to suck slightly. ;-) I did my best!
Glad you like! ^_^

What kind of media do you use? Is this Photo Shop?
This is awesome! He almost looks alive!!!

Thanks! :-) (see description for details)

Oh... lol... I knew that...

.___. i have DAZ too... don't know how to use it tough >.< oh well
this is so Awesome O__o

wow, im impressed not by the detail but a good original character

Oh, brill! :-D Thanks, I'm so pleased you think so. That's a relief! XD

dude, that's sweet.

Yay! Another Prettyful Piccie from Jocasta!

:D

*Favie & Votes Good*

Sweet! May I ask, what is DAZ 3D?
Fairly impressive indeed. I'm afraid I don't recognise the sword, though. It's not Soul Calibur is it? :/

Don't worry, the sword is from another picture I did, "A promise". I just figured those who saw the pic may have recognised it, that's all. ;-)
No, not soul calibur. XD
DAZ 3D is a program that allows you to work with 3D figures & models; it specialises in supporting human figures, but you can make scenes with props and all.
Glad you like! :-D

I did a quick shufti through your gallery to see the sword. Yep, that's the one in 'A Promise' all right. Wundavah!
Say, could DAZ 3D also be used like an animation package? Your Khrayn would make a cool movie character.... you know what, I'm liking this so much that I'm going to fave it :)

Hey, thanks! :-) Hopefully he will eventually be a movie character, maybe in about a decade XD
Yeah DAZ has a facility for animation, I may try that someday. It'll look so shoddy with this figure & that program though, lol

I don't recognise it either but it's not Soul Calibur to my knowledge.

Ooo, very nice! I love his expression, and that sword is just too awesome!

You did a wonderful job! You should be very proud. :-)

Thank you! I'm glad you like it :-)

Awesome!!! :D

Amazing. Smply loven it!

Whoa! Freakin' awesome!

YEs first comment! :) nice job
