Howdy good fellows Wingers, and long time no see 
It's been quite some time since I tackled anything remotely 3d. But, as I get older, I'm beginning to get those nostalgia attacks that are so common in the elder folk. One of them is missing the good ole RPG times. And I really mean OLD RPG, back from the day Gary Gygax was the man and D&D was the s**t. So I ran through my box of ancient RPG handbooks and lo and behold - I found the original "Marvelous Magic" D&D Accessory Module. With this marvelous cover art by Clyde Caldwell.
And it's just perfect. It embodies everything that that the eighties brought into the fantasy genre. Namely, magic chicks. Dragons. Magic lighting. And a dress with awesome thigh split! (not much in the cleavage department though - I guess nuthin's really perfect).
So I decided I will do it. That is, I will recreate this image in a photo - since that's what I do nowadays. I take photos. The only problem is, I'm kinda short on resources of the kind you need to built realistic fantasy sets. It's time to dust off my 3d skills and make it happen - virtually. Or partially virtually. I'm still going to shoot the girl, but on greenscreen, and composite her into the virtual set built in wings and rendered in Lightwave.
And this here will be my W.I.P. thread. I'm a bit rusty, so be patient. I'll start posting wips as soon as I'll have anything to show. Wish me perseverance
