looking for fantasy art tutorials

Hi guys. I'm on the hunt for tutorials specifically about using daz3d to create fantasy art AND (this is the harder bit) about then post processing the art in photoshop, doing backgrounds, etc. My searches led me to a buy it item on the store but it was quite expensive and no idea if any good.

I'm after general daz advice like perhaps lighting and stuff that suits fantasy style and good render settings, maybe something about making your creatures more unique and my main point of interest as i said is post processing, avoiding the "3d render stuck on 2d background" look, effects and all that stuff.

thanks for reading :)

    all you need is a naked female figure a temple and a sword and you are on your way!!! :lol:
    no nudity on forum though but you can always get a free DeviantArt account.

    Thanks for the advice guys! Interactives look great, will check youtube later :) nude isn't the type of fantasy I'm after! Lol :P

    i have been using daz for a while and slowly improving. One of my later ones was: https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t31.0-8/1507348_10152607986478327_887864702_o.jpg which contains some post processing in photoshop.

    but ive never managed to make anything id call "stunning" so looking for tips and such to really get the most out of my renders and especially what people like to correct or change with photoshop in the final stages.

    ultimately id like to aim for the kind of fantasy art you see on magic the gathering cards, but with a rendered starting point. X

    Isikol an artist who regularly posts in the DAZ forums here has done a few tutorials that should help you, the key is layering lighting for impact.

    These two tutorials should help you take the next step
