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.
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.

Sexy! She looks more like an Alu-fiend than a succubus though with her lacking of horns and wings. Alu-fiends can vary as much as tieflings can.

Very well done, except for the wings. Someone not familiar with succubi might mistake them for scenery.
