apollo & daphne chase in arcadia
by: shlomi laszlo
a larger render with alot of post in painter studio;
auto painting with pastel and blanding brushes.
You need to attach the image to the post, using the Attach a file link below the text box, or if it is at a suitable gallery post a link. I think you may be trying to embed the file, which won't work.

Title: Welsh Waterfall
(Based on the real Four Waterfalls walk in the heart of the Brecon Beacons, miid-Wales)

Lots of info about the 4 Waterfalls in there if interested, and info about the Welsh national costume. And a poem from a Welsh author about wateralls.
Credits: TangoAlpha: The Watering Hole and I got the original waterfall to load vs using a lesser model. Daffodils (Welsh national flower) are from his Country Ford as are the trout near the waterfall rainbow | Howie Farkes Stoney creek had the best stone for a seat (use his elements a lot) | Plain old Realistic Sky plus a few spots and bulbs | Welsh girl is Genesis 2 (debloated thanks to Alvin Bemar's Genesis Morphs Eraser for Carrara) with G2F Victorian Maid outfit retextured and her hat is restyled Wilmap's Pilgrim costume hat for G2M | Made her lace bonnet from a bowl shape | DAZ's Marielle Hair | the original Pembrokeshire Corgi fr CGT was replaced with DAZ's Pudgy The Corgi (how cool was that it came out just recently) | Trug for Daffs is from DAZ's The Marrakesh Souk and the basket of herbs is from DAZ's Medieval Merchants House Bundle with 2D leeks superimposed (leeks are a Welsh thingy, too). Wild Animals - DAZ's AM Fox | DAZ's Rabbit | DAZ's Buck (which I transed to a doe) | DAZ's Noggins Ducks | Kingfisher from CGT | English Robin 2D superimposed | Double rainbow shapes - I actually made myself vs keeping the PS job!
Additional Notes: Sending my deepest condolences to Pam's family. She lived only about an hour from me that I can figure, so I am sure she knew of the falls and perhaps had visited. The walks are challenging, but I am determined to make at least one of them some day. My only regret was not in getting to know her, but I enjoyed her presence here immensely. Chohole will not be forgotten here! May she be looking upon us from Annwfn (ah-noon), her own mystical heavenly island.

Click on image for full size as the preview had to be manually reduced to get rid of distortion. The auto-resizing was going wrong for me, so I chose 1/3 lower dimensions which makes it hard to see details

Title: Archangel

AdditionalNotes: I hope this is translated correctly. Croeso i Annwfn is how the internet translated 'welcome to heaven' in Welsh. The flag of Wales has a red dragon on a white and green field. Everything modeled and rigged in Carrara with Carrara text modeler with fancy font (Blackadder ITC). No postwork.

Title: Waiting
Artist: Namtar3D
WIP Links: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/6938931/#Comment_6938931
Additional Notes: Any tips you'd like to share on how you made your image? i don't know if there's something i actually can tell than everybody doesn't already know. I did my render using 3 replicators: 2 surface replicators (texture guided) and 1 last replicator for petals, then i used flow force and simulate to make the effect of the wind.
The model used is G8F and the character is Evenstar from Sangriart
Wow, all these beautiful renders. I think Pam would hae been stoked with these, espcailly the ones that evoke Wales so magically.
Thank you to all that entered an image in the challenge, and to all who were kind enough to comment on the works.
The challenge is now closed.
For this challenge I decided not to ask Daz to sponsor us. I didn't think it was appropriate as the challenge was in Chohole's memory.
I hope no one is put off by this.
SO THE VOTING BEGINS!
Please vote for your 4 favourite images, keeping in mind that the Challenge was to evoke the idea of Heaven in Honour of Chohole.

Pure Stezza, with creative modeling and a ton of little details paying tribute - like the avatar animated club.

Appreciated the homage to Bryce and the incorporaton of the Bryce terrain.
