    Hi Hylas! Thought I'd pop in. Some great stuff on the thread!  :)  You have a wide range of subject matter, had to giggle at the snail.

    On the off chance that you were wondering what happened to me... well, basically I have space for only one screen based hobby at a time in my life. So it's either DAZ Studio or gaming, and recently it's been very much the latter. Got Elden Ring during the December Steam sale and have been pretty much busy with that since then smiley I think I'm doing quite well, I just crossed the Lake of Rot without too much trouble. But the boss at the end of it may still be a little out of my league surprise

    In any case, every now and then I do still make a render or two! They tend to be on the more simple side. Here's Jing and Xia that I got in the $2 sale yesterday, plus a guy that's a mix of a number of characters.

    And looking great as always!  That first one is a real knockout, for sure.

    Where does she keep her arrows? Isn't that stance a little awkward? Isn't that... skirt... a little silly?

    Hey, I tore myself away from gaming long enough to make a full render so do not question me.

    I like how the lighting came out here. Kept layering assorted lighting products until it looked good. I'm sure that's exactly how professionals do it.

    Background mountain range is AI generated. Controversy!

    Ally 9 is not getting the warmest reception... I totally get it. Following Pixie, Josie, and Kiri she's really not adding much.

    But bad timing aside, I really like her promos. I think she's the strongest character Thorne has made in a while. I think her characters tend to be a bit "overdone" (case in point, Josie 9) but Ally is very pretty.

    Anyway... I'm sticking with G8.1. But Ally 9 has inspired me to make my own "Ally 8.1". I started with Mynx, added a lot of Sage and a little bit of Aiko 8, and then some dials on top of it. Skin of Sage, HD of Mikasa.

    She does actually look a lot like Ally. :) Great job! I'll be over here sticking to Gen8/8.1 too.

    Niiiiice renders, and some fantastic lighting! 

    I've had to slap myself on the fingers in the "legacy" section, reminding myself and the wallet that there's the Daz+ sale coming after this one, and it's dangeroo.

    Didn't we just have a DAZ+ sale?

    What even is time cool

    I think we did!? Was it around April-ish? At least last year's October sale was only two weeks, rather than a full month. I think someone said that's the new thing?

    Really neat renders, Hylas! I really ought to use Liam for something. He's got an interesting face.

    Thank you, @David R & @Wintermoon!

    Some stuff I bought recently-ish. I'm not really happy with his stance here and I might upload an improved version at one point. Consider it a WIP, I guess!

    And here's some more stuff I purchased recently-ish, as well as Morrigan by Colm Jackson, whom I bought quite a while ago but never used until now.

    Both renders use hair by Hair Studio, I love their work! And I appreciate that they keep supporting G8.

    I don't usually go for photorealism or close-up's but I like how this came out. I feel like I kinda stumbled into it... I'll take it :)

    The character is called Nyarai, which Google tells me is an African name. I don't think she has a particularly African look, in fact I think she's maybe the strongest character with an Indian/Tamil look that I've seen. Stronger than Kala 8 or Kala 9, I'd say.

    Just wondering: you mentioned in the Render Your Buys thread that you'd made some changes to Walker's shape, and I was wondering what changes you'd made? They seem to be subtle but still noticeable.

    80% Walker Head

    15% The Guy 7 Head

    100% Vladimir 8 HD Detail Body & Head -> I think this is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here.

    50% Abdominal Muscles 01 (from SY's free set)
