Mageborn: Misha

UPDATE 01/31/16: Changed the set and lighting (only a single sun to light), added depth of field to the camera, and slightly changed his expression and the angle of his head. He looks less psychotic now.

Starting up portraits again (I may re-render a few characters who appear in both this and Faeborn, but for now, I'll work on newcomers). Decided I would go with a different backdrop this time, especially fitting as the main location changes from the human world to the faerie world in the sequel.

This is Misha (he has a last name, but it is very spoilerish, so I'll leave it off for now). He is one of many servants to Queen Ivne'as, working as a pixie-keeper, personal servant, and temporary court violinist (his father usually fills that role). He is much older than he appears to be, and his usual, boyish demeanor certainly doesn't help. He's also mute, on account of getting caught in a magical storm when he was young that left him with an overabundance of arcane energy that his body couldn't handle. Fortunately, he is fluent in several varieties of sign language, and he still hears just fine. He also takes a shining to Snow when he first meets her, with the same joy and enthusiasm as a puppy.

Set up in DAZ|Studio and rendered in LuxRender via Reality. Zero postwork.
