Wings of Light

No story to go with this one ATM. I had an idea to do an angel, this isn't what I'd intended exactly but it will take a LOT of me puttering with those wings to figure out how to do my concept image, which I'll do another time. This one is inspired by a Volks model of a character called Silene, a character from a comic called Devilman I guess, never read it, but I pilfered a magazine from a friend some time ago that had a sculpt of her in a similar pose that I've long thought was lovely. This isn't her of course, I don't know if I could properly craft her at all, though I was interested in trying. I think it would take a completely different wings to pull it off though.

Been sort of feeling like I could use a Guardian Angel, so this is attempt #1 to craft her.

BTW: There are NINE lights in this, starting with a set that gave me about the ambiance I wanted, and then the spot for the shadows, and with EIGHT lights I was getting NONE of her face, so I had to add one more at ground level shining upwards into her face - THAT screwed up everything, I ended up rendering this about a dozen times to get the light right again. The trick is that DAZ will only show you what the first 8 lights in the scene are doing, but all of the additional ones WILL affect your final render. So in order to get a CLUE whats going on you have to turn them on and shut them off individually, which doesn't really work. You have to shut off one of the first 8 to see what 9 is doing - which of course fudges it all because now you are missing the affect of the one you shut off.
