End of an Era by Dave Lawrence
This is one of two Raptor pictures with just different filters applied. Programs used: Poser 4 to collect and pose the character and props and to place the background. Photoshop to convert the image into good quality JPEG format, to apply filters and to do some post render painting. Photoshop's lighting effects filter was used in both versions and provided the main difference between them. Eye Candy provided some extra steam through use of the smoke filter as well as the star in the raptor's eye. Characters used: Raptor by . Props used: Rock and Stone are by currently unknown modellers - please let me know if you can help! Background: "Moonlight" I saw this picture whilst browsing at work during lunch and saved it to look at later. When I started this picture I realised this would make the perfect background. In spite of intensive searching I have not managed to find the picture on the net and so cannot now find the name of the artist. It is good, however, and so I am sure someone will know and be kind enough to contact me so that I can give the artist some well deserved credit.
