This is a screenshot of my 3D avatar in Cybertown, slightly touched up in Photoshop. Usually she has a gold crown and a fur dress but I changed the colours for Halloween and liked how the picture turned out. She's based off of Jadis in the Narnia chronicles and is animated to produce tempting goodies as well as shoot snowflakes at anyone who dares cross her :)

I like the toothlike crown. It's cool.
'Sa pity you didn't get a screenshot of her shooting snowflakes, though.

Very cool! Love the collar! You could dress up like that next halloween! That would be life imitating art for sure. How poetic. I couldn’t help but think that other than Jadis for inspiration, maybe the Olsen twins were inspiration somewhere, because I keep thinking of them, maybe in the eyes. Anyway, very good job! -phxspx

:-) Charlotte Fire-Valkyrie Ahlgren replies: "lol I can assure you the olsen twins were no inspiration and until you mentioned it I never saw the resemblance myself. Now that you’ve pointed it out though, I see what you mean... Something about the shape of the face and the eyes maybe..."

I like this one. I am impressed with her creative crown. Would love to see her animated, can you uplod here on Elfwood?

Anyway, you did a great job on you avatar!

:-) Charlotte Fire-Valkyrie Ahlgren replies: "Not sure I could catch her animation and make an image out of it - particularly not within the size limits... but I guess you could join Cybertown and download a 3D viewer and I could show her in action 12"

Man, she looks like one tough Queen! She just looks like she’s waiting for someone to mess up so she can punish them!

How do you do 3D images and which program do you use? is it easier or harder than doing ’flat’ work in photoshop? Love the mood in this pic by the way! Lovely colour again.....^-^

:-) Charlotte Fire-Valkyrie Ahlgren replies: "Whether it’s harder or not probably depends on who does it and what you do... Personally I handcode VRML and in the case of this picture I created "the mood" in Photoshop. VRML tends to be a little angular and the shadowing isn’t entirely realistic (it shadows the "dark side" of objects but not something that is in something else’s shadow...)

You can use programs such as Flux Studio or Blender (both free) to make 3D items, and I’m thinking of testing one that I think was called Shapeshop where you actually draw the shapes and the program makes them 3D. It doesn’t output VRML though, but I think it outputs the file format you can use in e.g Poser and Daz Studio. It could prove a nice intermediate between drawing and building 2"
