Oh that's cute! I always wished the feet hadn't been done so pink though. So now I have to go look up hedgehog's feet to see if there's a reason for it...
Thank you, you've been a big part of it for many years. I like Alondra. I haven't rendered her yet (well, if I have, I didn't make a folder for her or save the file. But I don't remember her.) That headdress/turban really goes well with DeNile.
Cassia looks good with that hair, and I like her eyebrows. Not too thick, or thin. Looking forward to the character mixes.
Mrs. Chowru
As far as I know, I've never rendered any of the things in this image before. Oso Pixie Dragon, Mrs. Chow, Pix Charu for Sakura, dForce Palace Robes, MRL Messy Bun and the Forgotten Courtyard.
Okay, take a break from COVID-19. Paws For A Smile!
HUGS FROM Ci Pwff! (Key-Poof!) ("Dog Puff" in Welsh)
4 months old. No he is NOT that big. Just closer to the camera....and stopped squirming for a millisecond so I took the shot! Do you KNOW how hard it is to hold a puppy and do a selfie????
@gordig Oooh, that's really neat! Ilike the ivy in the foreground adding to the depth of the scene and the way the curved stone comes at the viewer (that she is sitting on.) the lighting on the wing is really nice too.
You did good Nice pic
Cute Picture And virtual hugs back.
Now off to take my Katie to the doggie park while I still can.
Perfect posing skills :D.
Puff dog not dog puff
Puff the magic dog! He's a nice looking dog!
This is Yoshie for Mei Lin 8. The outfit is dForce Emo Style for Genesis 8 Female(s) with textures from dForce Emo Style Outfit Textures. I haven't used either product before, as far as I remember. The hair is dforce Soft Curls for Genesis 8 and Genesis 3 Female(s) with some of its morphs dialed and some simulation settings changes. I have used this hair before. The pose is from Fashion Editorial Poses and Expressions for Genesis 8 Female, which I have used many times, but not this particular pose from that set. The lighting is an HDRI from Click N Render IBL Set. Edit: iRadiance - Light Probe HDR Lighting for Iray - Expansion 4
I find Yoshie to be a little pale and yellow/greenish. Maybe the slight bluish tint of the HDRI affected her skin. I used a yellow/ocher image in the background, because I thought maybe she would look less yellow in contrast with the yellow background, but I don't think it helped much. It is just an image pasted into the Environment pane as a backdrop, so that didn't affect the lighting on the character at all.
Edit: I rendered with a different HDRI from the same set. It made a world of difference. No change was made to the character skin at all.
I'm afraid I can't say I did this image in response to your challenge to use items I've not used before. But it does qualify. The only products I used for this image that I've used before are Mesh Grabber and the water plane from Steam Punk Hide Away. (It has a nice fade away for the horizon,) and I've done centaurs before, but this is my first C8F, and I applied the body to the new female, Dior.

There is a complete list of Daz products used on the gallery page, here. You can also see the full-size image, if you want, which is 3k by 2k. (Lots of little details!)
Ci is dog, pwff is puff. So the literal is dog puff. Is it turned around, like in Spanish where the adjective can go after the noun but translated differently? (Like tall men are written men then tall, but said as tall men.) I'd really prefer it to be puff dog!
Awesome image @L'Adair! Going to go have a look at the full size here in a sec.
Taking a page from L'Adair's book because I wasn't going to post this here, to lazy at this time to look up all the links.

@barbult Second one to me is much better! I seen the first and thought goodness she sure is pale.
Yes, definitely looks better with the more ruddy tint. I love her pose, she's definitely confident.
I really like the centaur. The posing is spot on!
Regarding COVID-19 I was looking at the state list of cases on CNN, and thought I'd list them from most to least cases instead of that long alphabetical list. Within each group, they are alphabetical, aka the 3,000's group doesn't mean California, then Florida, then Illinois, etc so far as number of cases.
40,000's New York
8,000's New Jersey,
3,000's California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Washington
2,000's Georgia, Louisiana, Pennsylvania
1,000's Colorado, Connecticut, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas
900's Indiana
800's Wisconsin
700's Maryland, North Carolina
600's Alabama, Arizona, Missouri, Virginia
500's Mississippi, Nevada, South Carolina
400's Oregon, Utah
300's Arkansas, Kentucky, Minnesota (398 though), Oklahoma
200's District of Columbia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Rhode Island
100's Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Vermont
100 or less Alaska, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, West Virginia, Wyoming
I agree the 2nd one is much better. The 1st one seems to be a common mistake, that sort of skin shading in the DAZ Store, but it in no way, shape, or form looks realistic.
Hmmm, those New York & New Jersey numbers being higher than even Californias looks very fishy.
I haven't rendered Eryn so I am doing a render of her this afternoon. I see @cismic did her in Sept 2019 on this thread! (Using the forum links on the product pages, if you have the Daz Deals plugin.)
BTW, the reason I've asked not to link to gallery images is because I want forum links via that plugin to direct folks here. Gallery images may or may not be clicked on with that plugin, as sometimes they are slow loading. When people see this thread link, they know there's usually an issue being discussed, or a render provided (or both.) You don't have to list every product, but the character and outfit at a minimum is appreciated.
Well, made me jump... I was leaning over looking closely at my computer monitor, with my iphone right in front of me. Suddenly one of those blaring Amber-Alert type BWZZZZZZZ started going off! The Florida Surgeon General sent this:
FL Surgeon Gen: Stay home if 65+ or have medical conditions. All follow social distancing.
So, has your state done this yet?
@novica, I think Eryn has some very realistice skin. Here a few other renders I've done with her.
Description
Made with...
Washington state has stay at home type of order. Can go out and get groceries and such. But, not much else.
New York had earlier presenting infections so, when you consider geometric progression, California and Florida is about a week to a week and a half behind New York. California also started social distancing a bit earlier than New York than New York also which slowed things down. With a geometric progression, in 15 days, California should reach 48,000 cases in 15 days (3000 cases, 3 days later 6000, 3 days later 12000, etc.).
Stay at Home except for groceries, medical, or if you are an "essentials" employee implemented a week and a half ago. Curfew started yesterday. Neighboring county put out one of those alerts through the phone yesterday, made me jump, as well.
County issued stay at home except for essentials State hasn't issued a shelter in place order as of yet
North Carolina has a Stay at Home Order that will go into effect Monday; but Dare County where I live put it into effect today. Basically only essential businesses and activities are permited. Fortunately we are still allowed to use the doggie park as long as we maintain 6' social distancing.
Oh sorry I didn't even think about that, makes perfect sense!
Denver went into stay at home last week, parking lot at the apartment full. This week, the state went fully into stay at home. Mountains dangerous for those with weak lungs, in addition to limited medical resources before this started.
I found something to do that I had not attempted before, HowieFarkes UltraScenery - Realistic Landscape System. Lots of homework today, but a few minutes ago, my first successful render completed. Nothing as good as what has been in the thread, but, I got it done! I put The AntFarm's Rock Golem in there.
I agree with everyone else in the thread, this is an amazing set for Daz Studio.

Mary, that is lovely. I'm glad you posted in the other thread, too.
