I got my contributor copy of this today. Quite chuffed – they included three of my piccies! 😀 Huzzah!
Author: seedydeedee
Deedee is a long-time fan of fantasy art, and counts Boris Vallejo and Chris Achilleos as her earliest favourite artists. She was first attracted to the idea of creating 3D artwork back in 2003 when she first started posting art online, and through a rather convoluted and accidental means, stumbled across Poser while trying to find something else entirely.
Having tried many of the low end hobbyist packages in the past few years, her preferences are Carrara 6 for modelling, Vue 6 for landscapes and Poser 7 for figure posing and animation.
Her influences include vampires, bad 80s horror and fantasy films, heavy metal and the works of Poe, Lovecraft & their contemporaries.
You get the picture...
Vue 10…?
So… E-On are releasing Vue 10. Already. I feel like I’ve only just got Vue 9 configured to where I want it, after only having Vue 8 for a couple of unsatisfactory months. Does that mean they’re not going to include support for Poser Pro 2012’s SDK in current version(s) of Vue…? Call me a…

Tutorial – Whiter Skin for Undead Renders!
Can’t quite get your vamp skin white enough without making them look like they’ve been emulsioned? I’ve put together a few tips and tricks, mainly covering some lighting and postwork options to consider when working with very pale-skinned characters. I’ve referenced Poser and Gimpshop in this tutorial, but the techniques would also apply to Daz|Studio…

Vampirates Competition!
Ahoy, maties! A new year be upon us and it be high time for a new competition over on Deviantart! Yarrrr. The theme is VAMPIRATES! 😀 (that is, pirates that are also vampires, or vice versa!) What would you do? Perhaps a bloodthirsty Captain Jack, or an undead Blackbeard – or a sassy female vampirate…
My Best New Find
Over the last few months, I’ve been really enjoying mooching around this site – I seem to find something new and exciting every day! It’s a relatively small but passionate community of 3D artists, and unlike a lot of the larger faceless sites, members really get involved and like to share and post encouraging comments…
Vampire Amour at Vampire Empire
I recently did a vampire art commission for Vampire Empire. I was trying not to take on any more commissions for a while, but I liked the brief so much I went and did it! As if I’d pass up a chance to make pics of demure newly-bitten ladies and vampire hunks… XD You can…
Adding Fur in Carrara Pro
I wrote a new tutorial today for Carrara Pro. Have you ever rendered a creature and thought, ‘this would look so much better with real hair’? You can of course postwork hair in Photoshop, but if you have access to a 3D programme that can do it for you (like Carrara Pro!), you can get…
