The Idea:

     I was messing with Kozaburo's new Wave Hair (yes again), and.... this happened.  I decided to

Tools:

     Poser 4, Photoshop 4

Wave Hair by Kozaburo
Raven Textures by Daio (available at the 3D Commune Store)
Dragon Dangly Neck Jewelery by Awful Soul (available at Renderosity Free Stuff)

Everything:

     This is Michael yet again.  He's wearing Daio's Raven skin, scarred and tattooed version, and his blue eyes.  (And a secret eye formula to make them so pretty.)  And that is Kozaburo's WaveHair, although I am in the middle of messing with it, so it is slightly different in this incarnation.  The hair is parented to the head with Inherit Bends turned on, to make it swish around like that.

     The dangly dragon necklace is a posable prop by Awful Soul for the character Aisha.  The chain pieces are scaled down so the chain is not as long, and the body/neckpiece is scaled to fit Raven.  It's using a chrome reflection map from the Kelthar project as its colour, and the silver reflection map for reflections.

     I made two renderings, one with a shadow map sized 64, and one sized 1024.  The 1024 creates horrible streaky globs with the hair shadows, but gave me a nice shadow for the necklace.  So I mixed them together.  I blurred the back edges of the hair, did a tiny bit of furry brushing, and meddled with the shadows under the hair on the right.  I also airbrushed the catchlights in the eyes.
   The background is hit with 'Shop clouds in two dark colours.
