The Chess Series - C1 (White Queen's Bishop)

My first IRay render.  Turned out pretty good, and I have a new video card coming tomorrow which I hope means it won't take 4 hours if I decide to re-render it.

So, there is a story behind this render, and it's one of the reasons I didn't postwork/stylize it to death after rendering.  My husband is a chess enthusiast, and I decided a while back that when 3D printing over at DAZ becomes truly customizable I will print him a chess set of individual pieces I design.  

This is the second in that series, though technically the first one, The White Queen, is currently too detailed and my system cannot handle rendering it (come on new 4GB video card).  

There was almost no touch-up on this one, which is rare for me.  She had a little bit of poke through on her hair and the displacement on her front right arm (the one without the tattoo) was a little too strong, but those were the only "fixes" applied...The egg was actually rendered in scene exactly how it appears, the texture was created by me using Zummerfish's dragon scales brushes.

Created in DAZ Studio 4.8
Rendered in IRay
Postwork in Photoshop CS5 with Nik Tools

Model: Genesis 2, custom shape
Skin: Modern Muses Nera (converted from V4)
Egg texture: Zummerfish's dragon scales brushes, Simply Seamless by Winterbrose and CrazyBump.

Hope you enjoy!
