A very complicated photo-collage this time. I was aiming for a picture of a succubus similar to the one in NWN. I found a picture of a girl sitting on a sort of sculpture as base image. The head model is Laetitia Casta. I added hair, piece of cloth, textures. The cave was designed of several pieces of nature, background and lighting effects. I spent ages trying to get a different lighting from above her. I also tried to give the whole a painted feel be recolouring skin and trying different brushes in Photoshop. I am really happy with this picture, any comments are welcome.
Thank you, JackalKlaw. I'm glad you like the picture. :)
If you mean my alias name Phaere: I got it from the nasty drow girl from Baldur's Gate 2. You meet her in the underdark when you are disguised as drow.

*wonders if shoutld make any mentions on modules...*
Hello Phaere, just wanted to say thanks... i´m doing some personal changes on the Tales of Arthera module and that pic goes straight just won the Percy award (for those who don´t know , Percy is sucubbus hench you can litterally buy on the mod). I love the pic, congrats on a job well done.
Question: does your name have anything to do with the villain in Caerenna - Krakona Rising , the module?? Sorry, im not a D&D, Tolkien fan, so i´m don´t know much on storys and such, thanks again !! _________________________ "When you become addicted to a game, that game becomes your enemie, but HE WHO FLEES FROM HI´S ENEMIES IS A COWARD"

I'd kiss her even if I would have to die

I'd just like to say that I agree with what ArchAngel said, this doesn't work very well as a portrait in this type of game, but I will make no hesitation in giving you a 10 for pure beauty.

good but i gotta knock off marks for forgeting to do her right hand :)
******************************
It's a really cool picture! It's a shame that some people find it necessary to rate all of Phaere's work below 5 without giving an explanation why. I can only say that that particular person must be really jealous as that person must have no talent whatsoever themselves! KEEP ON GOING PHAERE!!!
*****************************
Yes, I agree that it is unfair to rate the work that low considering it is all "beautiful", but I am not sure I'd use the Artwork as portraits.
I mean all People making Characters with 18-21 CHR would be thrilled that they wouldn't have to pick a average looking or below average looking portrait to match their super skinny, super smart, super strong, ultra-beautiful, and sexly skimply armored type PCs ;) ;)
In all practicality showing that much unarmored skin on the battlefield is the fastest way to get decapitated by a 2 handed sword or axe, and the only way to keep that face untarnished is to dawn a 3 inch thick great helm 24/7 :p
That and you can't "sexy" your enemies to death though looking less formidable then you really are or "helpless" is a good negotiation and/or battle tactic in some cases

That's funny. I thought they were wings too.

Awesome detailing, coloring, lighting, definitely one of the best I've seen around here.
Silverblade: thanks for your vote, I have to clarify something here: I added no wings, this succubus is based on the NWN model. So I am afraid it is scenery you mistook for wings. ;)
I had a good laugh about it though, sorry. lol

That's okay :)
Maybe I will do a version like that some day. Right now I am working on a winged harpy (oh, i guess they're always winged but anyway:P), it is a bit more like my own interpretation of a harpy, I will see how that works out.
I want to do all these weird races, like a banshee (mythological races more like it) and perhaps a fury, is that even a myth? Oh nevermind, I must be out of my mind again. Work all day tends to mess up the brains :)
Oh, sry, didn't read the below comment. However, the Bioware succubus is nothing like the real one. The real one is simply a pale-skinned, dark-haired naked woman with wings and horns.
