Description
BIG FREAKIN PICTURE! Warning to all full-viewers, I didn't crop this one!K, that said, I'd actually wanted to do something like this for a while... I told that I wanted to try to do a picture of her character, Arcus Celia, because she's an adorable hottie... and there is no truth to the rumor that I just made a model of her because the Collector needed someone to fill his pedestals besides Rox.
I fudged a lot on her costume, so it doesn't exactly match any pics Elle's put up of her, and I hope that's okay with everyone concerned. What I tried to do was get a good texture match for her love of complex buckles and straps and put it into play with a suit (namely RDNA's Beasthunter for V3) that was a combination of flowing and sexay. Everything was based off Nikita Creed's textures for said clothing model. Her hair turned out a bit lighter and neater than I'd like, and Antiquity isn't nearly as boss here as it is in any pic Elle does, but for 3D sake, I can deal with it.
I designed the ribbons in C4D and did the rest of the mixing and matching myself. Poser 5/C4D/Photoshop, models from Danie/Marforno, RDNA, Thorne (I believe) and theSlinger.

Cool, the weapon and her costume are sweet, as is the set. Great composition.

Beh, every time I see something in somebody else's renders I like I want it. Then I can never convince myself to spend the gold. I haven't coerced myself to shift to V4/A4 yet. Just TOO much neat stuff for A3 in my runtime to play with that I'm afraid I'll never be able to use again.

That is flippin' awesome... I love her outfit like mad, especially the top... Tops like that rock my world! The scenery looks beautiful, and the pose is wicked! Really badass work here, those delicate fingers are entrancing!

I was all sorts of happy the way Arcus turned out here, especially considering that I told Elle I'd have to take some severe artistic liberties with the much more fashionable clothing she'd drawn for her. All that aside, I'm really glad that I managed to stay true to the feel of it, and Elle didn't beat me senseless, so I think she liked it, too. ^_^ (I always get worried about doing up characters in 3D that people have painstakingly created with lineart, because I don't think I ever do them justice.
I'm really glad you liked it, too, Coley! I'm sure I'll do other pics of Arcus sometime.... Hopefully they'll rock your world, too!

What a great picture! Can I live there! It's so pretty!! I love her eyes too! They are so expressive and her cute little mouth. She looks so sweet. LOL! I want that sword!! Gimme, gimme, gimme! Her clothes too, they look so velvety soft, yet, there are buckles!
Hmm...I half expect to see some monsters eyes peeking from inside those bushes... <.< >.>

Thank ya, Cilka! I really liked the scene I set her in, although I had to do some postworking to the window to get the outdoor area looking good. I think I did a halfway decent job on Arcus herself... I really liked how her eyes and her suit turned out-- and yes, I made sure I found something that had a lot of buckles! ^_^
I'll definitely look into nudging her legs a little if her clothing accommodates it. If not, there are camera tricks I can do to make the legs appear longer (shooting from a lower angle, etc.)
I'm really glad you like it! I liked making it! ^_^

Beautiful pose on her! You put great emphasis on the background as well. Sweet! I can stop[ stairing at those gorgeous lavender eyes she has. Awesome pic.

Thank ya!!!
I really like her eyes, too! When I was rendering her, that was one of the things I was most worried about, was that her eyes would be visible and sort of 'leap off the page'. I was thrilled that it turned out to be the least of my worries! Glad you liked it, too!

That suit is nifty, isn't it?
This is very well done! She's gorgeous. I love the pose of the clothing and her facial expression. You really do have a gift for 3d rendering!

Thank ya, MJ! I'm really pleased you think so! ^_^
I do love the look of the Beasthunter suits (Both the V3 and the M3 ones)! I was a little displeased that I had to run everything through the Tailor to get it to fit Arcus (loooooves the pre-morphed clothing), but it turned out all right. Glad you enjoyed it!

Nice. I like the velvety texture of her outfit. But those boots have got to be a pain to put on and take off. ^_^

Pssst...*whisperwhisper* behind every hot pair of strappy/lace up boots is a hidden zipper.

No one ever said fantasy characters had it easy. Just think of all the straps to your basic suit of armor.
I was really happy with the way the textures on her clothing came out, though. Especially considering some of the hoops I had to go through... when I imported them, they basically looked like vinyl... or shiny rubber. I had to notch the specularity down to make them look more 'clothy'. Glad you liked it, too!

You call this big?
Great job on the shadows. I really like her eyes, though the raytracing effect is barely visible.
Good job nonetheless.

Well, it's sorta big for me, anyway.
I'm glad you liked her! Thanks a lot!

You did an amazing job at capturing Arcus, love! I love what you did with her outfit - it differs from my original design (which is totally understandable) yet is perfect at the same time! I don't think you could've done any better on it!
And her eyes and hair are sooo pretty! I wish I had that eye color.
Thank you so much, love! I can't wait to see what the Collector does with her! 
Now all you have left (so far) is to make a model of Sedla - aka the biggest pain in the ass model you'll ever attempt to make, short of completely constructing one from scratch. XDDD

YAYYY!!! Glad ya like her, hon! I knew I wouldn't be able to totally capture your clothing designs for her (let's face it, most of your designs are just too detailed for a middling modeler like me to actually be able to do them proper justice in 3D), but I was hopeful I could at least get the spirit of Arcus down.
I really liked her eyes, too! Her hair... it fit her, but I wasn't sure if I got the color exactly what I was hoping for. Part of that could be lighting, too, I'm sure.
But all in all, I'm really happy you like what I came up with for her! And yessssss, I would say both the Collector and Rox are waiting with bated breath to see what happens when Arcus stumbles into his oily grasp! Maybe her and Dumas will be a matched set!
