PS: I wanted to endorse and comment on your other recent set, but couldn't - it was awesome too!
Yea, I was in a hurry the day I posted that most recent image series and somehow the option to allow endorsements and comments defaulted to not be enabled. I know for certain I did not intentionally disable it. But anyway, I learned the hard way that once you save a post like that, you can go back and edit the post and enable endorsements; the radio button is available and you can click on enable but when you save the edited post it does not change the enabled options. So I just let go. It's a live and learn thing. I will definitely pay attention to that option next time. hahaa
Thanks for stopping by. I know you stay busy in LE Land. :)
Enjoy.
No comments allowed on your next pic.... boooo
When I edited that post for some reason the options defaulted to endorsements and comments NOT being available.
I was in a hurry (needed to take my 88 year old Mom to a medical appointment) and did not notice that the defaults had changed.
Les sent me a PM letting me know that he wanted to make a comment and endorsement and was unable to do so.
So I edited the post again, changed/correct the option and saved the post.
But you guessed it, comments and endorsements were/are still not available for that post.
Conclusion: once you save a post with those options, they can't be changed.
I thought about deleting the post and doing it over again but by that time it had close to 100 views so I just let it stand as is.....
Also, I'll admit, being a straight female, I'm not typically drawn to the more scantily-clad shots, but those are really lovely too. I think, part of it is that you seem to use the more slender/athletic body mods, which I find much more attractive, and I feel they fit better into the game. I mean, it's all about different preferences, in the end, but I work out myself, and I can attest that most women who get as much exercise as the average Skyrim character aren't... er.... as a rule.. generously proportioned.
And I know exactly what you mean regarding "real women".
I'm using a UUNP skinny body on Amber because she's just a hard working country girl and I much prefer less excessive proportions. :)
Glad you enjoyed the pictures and I love forward to more your fine work as well.
Enjoy!!
The combination of lighting with Obsidian Weathers, ELFX + Enhancer and Silent Skies ENB is impressive and yes, the sunrises and sunsets can be especially dramatic using the designed in lens effects.
I feel the same about sunlight. Just as in real life, bright sunlight can create very harsh lighting that tends to wash out texture and can create ugly shadows across the face and body. As such I tend to prefer subdued lighting.
My overall goal is what I call immersive reality; I want scenes to look real in the context of the game.
Lighting is a key aspect of achieving that goal. For portraits in particular, I want just enough light to be able to distinguish the focal object and the contextual surroundings but not so much that it washes out details.
Perfection can never be achieved since different objects in the same scene often require different amounts of light for optimal viewing so I try to strike a balance that optimizes the overall view.
I enjoy your work as well and I try to get over to LE shared images forum as often as I can.
Enjoy!!
That scene encompasses a lot:
Nice lantern lighting on Amber's face.
LH's 4k retexture of the Talos Shrine in the near background.
Jorrvaskr in the far background.
And Secunda heralded by the Northen Lights over Whiterun.
Thanks for stopping by.
Knowing my eye for details, it's far from perfect but the scenes turned out well overall.
For instance, in that shot of Amber and Tania inside Vlindrel Hall, Tania's right foot is clipping on the top step but I was pleased enough with the lighting, etc. that I included it anyway. :)
you gone be as good as me wink
beautiful shots
btw my mother love that music ^^
I value your ongoing support my friend.
Your game and image mastery has long since exceeded mine; the pupil is now teaching the teacher. :)
Glad your Mom enjoys Faun. Their music is enchanting and I love that song.
Enjoy.
Nice choice of music with very catchy lyrics and melody.
My landscapes aren't panorama's in today's technical sense of stitching together multiple landscape scenes; I'm much too expedient for that task. hahaa
But I do love a beautiful landscape and I have been working with DynDOLOD to generate better looking LODs.
Amber has been work in progress for roughly 2 years. I joke with friends that I will probably never be satisfied with her because of my ongoing need for change. :) My only other semi-active character is Kiko who is an Asian type character that I designed recently. The rest are various follower type characters. Tania the Hermit is probably my favorite follower but I usually run with 2 or 3 at a time and swap them in and out often to create some variety.
Thanks for stopping by. I love your work and look forward to seeing more of it.
And yea, I finally learned enough about Bodyslide to be able to convert the Legendary Bikini Armors to Amber's UNP Skinny body.
If I remember correctly, Sofia is wearing the Ebony bikini flavor in that pic.
Thank you for your support and for your wonderful ongoing Idiot Elf saga; I look forward to every episode.
What a terrific set of outstanding images, fabulous Gurley.
I can only hope to one day achieve your high level of image mastery.
