I love these!

First of all, the first one - Draco, I don't blame you one bit. Muggle "balloon animals" are scary. ;) And the second one is just lovely - down to the sparkle in Hermione's gown. When I read the summary, it added so much more. That would make a very interesting story.

How do you do these (medium, etc.)? I am very curious. :)

I'm so glad you liked them! LOL, the thought of the first prompt always amuses me. So many things for him to get freaked out about, I can't imagine Hermione not using that for her own amusement.

I'm glad you liked the summary for the second as well. I figured that I could honor the prompt better with a different angle on it. I was a little worried that it would be okay, still.

I work in 3D art. The programs I use are Poser 9 and Gimp. It uses mesh models, morphs, textures, props etc... in order to make the models, then you pose every little joint on them (I also had to do a simulation in order to get some of the cloth to drape), light them and render.

I am very impressed with your digital skills! :)

Well, thanks again!

Gorgeous art work! Love the second one especially with its lavish use of gold and almost Art Deco feel. Hermione is just lovely in both pieces!

[lemonade8]

Thank you so much!

Beautiful arts! I love Hermione's white gown and possessed look in the second one. The colours in both pictures are great, and the painting in the first picture is perfect!

[lemonade8]

Excellent!! I'm so glad!

These are absolutely amazing! I hope you don't mind, but I thought people might like to read the explanation you sent to me:

You start with base mesh figures, then you use morphs to change their features (there are dials for different morphs in the program. I can dial a nose larger or smaller, narrow or wide, with a bump or a slope, change the width and the thickness of the nostrils, the height of the nose and the flatness etc... for one small example). The skin is normally a uv mapped and photoshop manipulated high resolution nude model photograph that is applied to the mesh model. I use hair models that act as wigs. I can change the style, color, movement, length etc... of the hair depending on the quality of the model I'm using. Clothing can be conforming or can be dynamic. Conforming acts like a shell that covers the model, dynamic melts and collides with the model in a way that is more closely related to real fabric. I prefer dynamic

Thank you so much! I don't mind.

The thing she's holding in the first picture is a dildo. :D I couldn't bring myself to try to make it smuttier, so I thought that comedy was a better choice. Especially with that thing. I made it bigger to make it even more ridiculous.

Thanks on the second one. I wish that the angle would have allowed you to see the couch she's standing on and Draco is kneeling on. It's very opulent and soooo Malfoy. I worked for hours on her feet and Draco's legs- posed on the couch just so- all just to go with a more cropped picture. But that's how it goes sometimes with camera angles.

These are both wonderful! I love them! The first makes me laugh and laugh - the expression on Draco's face is priceless. I also love that aside from the... toy... and their bodies, everything else is in shades of grey, black, and white. Great contrast. I esp. like the artwork above the bed. :)

The second is beautiful - Hermione does appear to be possessed and Draco is trying so hard to communicate with her and keep her safe.

I want to run my fingers through Draco's hair in both pics, over and over and over. Lovely!

Thank you so much!

I wanted it to be a very masculine bedroom to indicate that she was staying over at Draco's bachelor pad. I felt it should be very unlike the manor since he was willing to stretch his options and date a muggle-born (so he'd have thrown his pure-blood traditional dwelling style out the window). I wanted that toy to intrusively hoist itself upon both Draco and the viewer. It's scary.
