After getting Michael 3’s head and body morphs from DAZ, I created this image for a contest in a DAZ forum. The contest was called “Manly Man”. I don’t remember where I picked up the textures for this character, but they are very detailed and realistic. I tried to capture a sense of deep thinking and remembrance before a battle in this image.

I morphed Michael 3 and posed him in Poser, and then imported the figure into Vue 6. In Vue, I created a custom atmosphere with indoor lighting. I placed Michael into my medieval building prop and adjusted the camera view.

The render took 7-8 hours. The only thing I did in postwork was apply a slight blur to the image and add my signature. Thanks for looking!

Note: Battle Morn may appear really dark on certain monitors. Adjust your monitor’s brightness to view this image fully.
