Charmer

Its rare that I'll like a model package for DAZ exactly as it's made. More often than not its the skin texture I'm after for a shaping preset I've spent a lot of time on, inspired by an original character from one of my stories. But this one, Marie HD... I think she's perfect as is and also perfect to stand in for another of my sword&sorcery characters: Sha'lith's daughter.

I took the Edgar Rice Burroughs idea with some of my fantasy people, that heroes grow old and other characters step in to carry on the story - sometimes the hero's children. It also might have something to do with me burning out on a previous story and then going, oh wait! I've got a new idea...

Anyways... I had this whole background about a beautiful daughter raised among witches on the edge of a swamp, that Magreth the Hag was her guardian, and that the girl could "talk" to animals like Dar from Beastmaster. I never had a full name for her, just noted her down as "Z."

Regarding the render itself: this was another Iray test.
