Description Apparently, Sarovanya and Morcundu decided to start a metal band.  I think they'll fit right in with the common fantasy themes in the power metal genre.

This is my submission to the Elven Metal Musician Challenge over at

Sarovanya is not a stranger to being drawn as a metal front man, he's gotten the hair metal treatment quite a few times in the past, so I decided to run with the challenge.  I started out with the plan for hair metal, but it developed into power metal as I was browsing through my Edguy Monuments Collectors Album and other metal band photos online.  

Setup and rendered in DAZ Studio 4.10 Public Build.  Postwork in Photoshop Elements 8.0.

This should fit in nicely with the Shadowrun groups I'm a member of. May I submit it to them?

You mean suggesting to a group(s) here on DA?  That is fine by me, and thank you!  But please do not repost or claim as your own.

Oh I would never do that. I enjoy adding artists to the groups I'm in, it gets them more views and potentially more viewers!

Thanks, Spy!  I used a method I found in the DAZ forums to create atmosphere using a primitive and iray shaders, I believe SickleYield also did a tutorial on it.  It didn't turn out exactly how I wanted so I rendered layers and then combined and edited in photoshop.  I'm glad it seems to have worked out!

Thank you, Moira!   ^o^  Glad you like!  Your Aodh is so pretty!  I always wanted a BJD myself, but haven't been able to justify it yet.  Someday!

I know what you mean!  Saro started as an EQ Online Adventures character based on another video game character, and now he is something completely his own (and has a mind of his own, I swear).
