    Here are a few renders for the thread.

    Here is a cute surfer dude. I actually wanted to do a stereotypical blonde surfer... But it resembled Boyd too much so I changed it up some. Yes he is vibrant. Realy like the swimsuit from Summertime outfit for genesis 3 and genesis 8 males.

     

    i asked for a blonde surfer hunk in product suggestions. 
    he would prolly be Australian or New Zealander.  so not a david hasselhoff

    Owen meets Boyd's older twiin siblings Joy and Immanuel.

    Your poses are always so natural.

    @ Mistara He was originally blonde but looked better wtih dark hair and that skin tone.

    @Nonesuch: Thanks!

    I really like to repurpsose female pinup sets for the men. In this case, the tricycle is super cool although you wouldn't catch me dead sitting on it with my leg on the handlebars! Fortunately, Boyd has no qualms about doing it as he can be quite hammy at times.

    I'm into aliens, but I prefer mine to be human-like ala TOS. This alien priest will predict your future for a small donation to his order. He is forbidden from causing psychological harm with this gift so his predictions are either heavily redacted, or not the entire story. It was fun to use the sparkley skin shaders, and alien skin tons to see how he looked.

    That popping cork is pretty impressive! Happy New Year to you, too.

    Photoshop! Owen looks a bit surprised there is a cork popping and champagne running down the back of his neck though he will likely get with the program soon

    I'm wondering the story behind Owen being dressed up in long pants, shirt and tie and Boyd being in his underwear??

    Good question! I was converting the Genesis 3 male clothing and when I clicked to apply the matching pants, I realized I bungled the rigging and the pants did not fit boyd. (I had visions of both men wearing formal wear, but alas, I don't have much. I have since learned my mistake.... Some clothing for whatever reason has the pose controls hidden.

    So Boyd instead is wearing Gregori's nice swim trunks which converted nicely, and the rooftop party became an almost- hot tub party.

    I assume his plan, is to have a nice toast with Owen and persuade him to try the hot tub. Or maybe he already tried that and is getting dressed. All I can say is it seemed like a good idea when I left it to batch render last night! LOL.

    I really liked the skating scenes- can totally relate to being the one sitting on their duff on the ice LOL.  The wet hair shader on the skin reminded me of Hellboy's renders, totally awesome look!

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,651

    Thanks Novica. I really like the skating renders too! =-)

    Here is Boyd.... Wearing Willis hair and pants and also testing a new skin. I  really do like Willis hair. A ton of morphs, shaping and styles including wind make it useful hair for men.

    These are Willis pants. I like the fit and the modeling but not a fan of that white ripped area. I wish there was an unripped version, since the white blank spot is distracting and doesn't look as real as the rest of the garment.

    Boyd looks younger and sexier with Willis hair. I think he should keep his new look.

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,651

    Yeah! I think we shall go for it. =-) I also like his new skin. There is some nuance to it now.

  • barbultbarbult Posts: 24,249

    I look forward to more Boyd pictures! 

  • Carola OCarola O Posts: 3,823

    he looks Great!

    Wow I love the Alien render!  Its gorgeous!

    And the Happy New Year one is just very well done from the posing, the expressions and the props.  The glasses are gorgeous.

    And Happy New Year to you and yours as well!  I look forward to seeing what Boyd and Owen get up to this year

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,651

    Thank you! I’ve been pretty sick the last 10 days yes.... even to sick to do Daz Studio but I’m glad the revised Boyd meets with some approval. Boyd always was meant to have long hair but never could find a style I liked. 

  • nonesuch00nonesuch00 Posts: 18,142

    Well get well soon. I caught something too but it didn't manage to stick until the weather changed drastically colder and drier.

    Ughh. Yeah the emergency room in my town is packed with flu cases and they have banned visitors.

    I picked up a virus on Christmas Eve and really have had it for 10 days. I have a bad reaction to medications so  I tend to not go to the doctors because of sensitivities.. In this case I did eventually go on New Year’s Day. Seeing doctors quickly in my area is a problem as doctors are difficult to reach and are overbooked. 

    I am now just feeling tired and coughing a bit.  It is tiresome to be ill especially on a holiday.

    I am pretty sure mine was hanging out on me somehow after I visited Lowe's & Walmart a couple times each last week but didn't clobber me until it dropped below 10F.  That and a massive diet change from what I usually eat & much less fluids. I think many fewer fluids might be the big thing though that decided the issue. I usually drink 4 litres a day.

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,651

    Why did you stop drinking? I try to drink plenty of fluids but at work it isn’t practical. I work in an army building and the bathroom is downstairs and I hate hiking down there to go... hah since I work on the top floor. I do it, but drinking extra at work is not a good idea.

    I got it probably from shopping too or a trip too the allergists as there are so many people smearing germs on every surface.  I also think I tempted fate because I hadn’t gotten a bug all year and was proud of the fact. I usually get one a year. But I’ve been  working on improving my immune system with vitamins and avoiding areas of contagion like movie theaters.

    This bug lasted a lot longer than most though, and it was thoroughly debilitating. The cough is annoying me but what can I do. 

    I have found the gargling daily is a good way to prevent colds especially if’s exposed to a sick one.

    I didn't intend to stop drinking but my sister was visiting from Germany and so every day I was over there. That is also why my diet was so disrupted. I will be mindful next time of that.

    I've worked in the biggest office building in the world and you had to walk a maze for want seemed like an hour to get to the office I was working in from the entrance!  Well maybe not the biggest anymore since the new place in Fort Knox was built that houses lots of military & government workers too and that place in DC was not good for good hydration and balanced meals but then most work enviroments ain't that great either. LOL, my favorite place was a bank I used to work at and I would load up the cabinets in my office with sugar-free 2L bottles of house brand soda and they also let me change in the server room (bathrooms where too public) everyday to jog for lunch. None of that non-sense of spending most of my lunch driving to a restaurant or a gym.

    I'm really liking the "new" Boyd! The new skin is less orange, and I think it looks better on him.

  • nonesuch00nonesuch00 Posts: 18,142

    Yes, the old Boyd always looked like a few folk I've seen in Florida that worked at getting a deep tan all their waking hours. Pretty rare bunch of folk that can spend that much time tanning and want to. laugh This one still looks like Boyd without that distraction.

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,651

    Yeah, I am glad he looks better heart. I’ve wanted to update his Boyd skin for a while but all the skins I tried didn’t have good eyebrows and I like to use fibermesh and painted on together. Now if I can just find a good ponytail style to put the hair in that resembles this style for when he works  then I’m good. 

    The only negative with the new skin is bodyhair looks bad. Guess Boyd will be shaving for the time being.

    I'm guessing you either have this hair, but if not.... this was the first one that popped into my mind when you said were looking for a ponytail.l https://www.daz3d.com/super-messy-updo-hair-for-genesis-3-and-8

    Body hair is often the dilemma, but he got some sexy pants there ;) That skin is really looking nice.
