Done as a bit of Whimsy! For the figures I used Poser, Zygote's "Victoria" figure, B L Render's excellent Dragon Factory, (once available from 3D Menagerie, but now retired,) for the Dragon, with maps I made in Adobe® Photoshop®. The props were all made in Bryce™, and that is also where I put the whole thing together and rendered it. Then I did a lot of retouching in Photoshop (I basically drew the girl's clothing there from scratch.)
I had a lot of fun putting this one together. I thought I was finished with it, when Skyia asked, "What is she feeding that little dragon, anyway?"
"I don't know," I said, "Some kind of little kibbles or something."
"Yeah, " she responded, "But what are they, exactly?" And the next thing I knew, we had invented Swoop Dragon Treats, a parody of Heinz' Pounce for Cats. And I had made the Swoop label and everything, so the can could be sitting on the window ledge. (Skyia came up with the name. I came up with the ingredients, which are listed on the can.)
Since I'm compulsive careful, I made the entire label. And it just fits on a real Pounce can. If you buy a print, the label is included, so you can make your very own can of Swoop. (Link opens a pop-up window with an image of the can.)
We still have 2 of these available in the signed edition. If you want one, order it soon. When those are sold out, I'm going to remove the buttons at the bottom of this page, and the signed prints will no longer be available.
The print has an image area roughly 7x9 inches and comes matted on a piece of foam-core board. Open edition, signed by the artist. $25 + $7 shipping and handling.
