The blue one makes me want to sing "Vogue" xD But they are quite well done, and lovely merlads. ^^ I would play with the hair, try and make it look as though it were floating about.

I thought I did make their hair look like it was floating. [emoticon]

I am working on the lighting and am working on a brand new pose for them from scratch. [emoticon] but each attempt takes 95 minutes to render [emoticon]

Well, I just saw the new one, and it's very well done. ^^ The hair looks much more natural, and the posing is sweet. ^^ 95 minutes, though!?!??! You must be insane!

The hair on that and this is virtually the same - the angles of the heads show off the "floaty" look better. I thought that the pose in this one for the blue hair was "cute" - maybe a bit TOO cute though. The pose the red head is making does not fit him (even though he's gay :lol [emoticon] . I like the hew pose better - I think I redid their tails 5 times before I got them the way I wanted then intertwined (though I did not do the 95min render for each attempt).

As for 95 minutes - yeah.. I'm a bit crazy. Whenever possible I set it to render and go to bed for the night & check it in the morning. On the other hand if I do it it grinds my PC to a halt for quite a bit of that time... The reason: DAZ (and poser) take a long time rendering fine hair and reflective surfaces.

this is a WONDERFUL picture of merlads! ^^. But, I do agree with the hair comment. And, the poses to look a bit..Stiff? Unless, the point was to make them pose for the picture. Otherwise, its beautiful ^^ Great work.

Well, I am still tinkering - it is a WIP.

The pose is very VOGUE [emoticon] which may be ok for the blue, but the red head's pose just doesn't fit him. I am also working on the lighting.
