Never knew how much batter sea power station looked like a cathedral.
Built this from kit bashing daz medieval buildings. Made the chimneys myself.
Smoke - carrara cloud primitifs.
Pig daz piglet with a sherical morph to balloon him out.
Clouds in the background were a texture applied to background.

Well this started off as an abbey Road homage. Decided I wanted some robots so Aiko robot and some daz robots. Put a plane of water on the street to grab some reflections.
Once again I used Carrara fog to get a little separation between the foreground and background elements. Post work in filter forge amongst other things.
Title is a homage to I,Robot. The band is the Heinlines.

This fuzzy hair if you have it (Beautiful black hair styles) , it won't render till you remove the aplha channel in the texture room.
V4 with some daz shop textures and a random daz morph (elite?) Aretha was looking a little crosseyed - hopefully i fixed it up in post.
Used PhilW's excellent bright eye's produce for the corneal highlights - then tidy them up in post

I used my own standalone figure which works nicely in Carrara, blouse and necklace modeled specially for her. Other products are listed in WIP thread.

Title: Come Fly With Me
Artist: UnifiedBrain
Links to WIP thread: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/6655136/#Comment_6655136
Discussion: This is an homage to Jon Jonson, the artist who drew the original album cover.
There are several versions of the cover online. I ended up with a composite of the versions that I liked the best.
Processes include Toon3 and GMIC. The background "buildings" were made with a map from JSPlacement loaded on a plane.
David 5 is Frank. The stewardress is V3, the female hand is V4, and the other characters are versions of Stylized Business Man and Woman (I had never used those before).
The plane is the Lockheed Super Constellation, which fortunately was on Sharecg. Passenger ramps were constructed using primatives.
All text was Carrara text, as per the rules, including the text part of logos. The only exception was the plane, which came with a few TWA texture maps.
No postwork. Click to see the full borders.

Title: Stuff of Legends (front cover, gatefold, back cover)
Artist: UnifiedBrain
Links to WIP thread: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/6683736/#Comment_6683736
Discussion: This is my idea of a "best of" (more or less) Queen album. There are three parts. The three together are considered a single entry (as per the original Challenge instructions).
This one evolved. It started with me trying to copy a pickup truck that Freelight modified in the modeling room and posted a while back. I added a beefier engine and some whitewalls.
The knight is Knight Errant. Characters are M3 and V4. The castle is Blenworth. In the gatefold and back cover, I modified the terrain to add the brick surface.
The gatefold itself is a plane modified in the modeling room. I prerendered the scene, then applied the render to a plane. From there I applied text, and added the amp. All text was made using Carrara Text.
No postwork.
