SKYLAB CHAT

That pose was kinda fun to do...way out of my comfort zone...haha. I only regretted not having the proper gear for the horse...the ropes, instead of bridle, and the different saddle, but I tried to put all that out of my mind and concentrate on the scene itself, since that's really my only function and purpose in pose work. I'm reviewing reference photos for the next rodeo set...there were many more good barrel racing photos than good, clear rodeo riding photos...at least what I've found so far. I may have to refer to still shots from videos. So if there's a pause in the project, it will be due to finding the right references in order to continue.

The poses have been fairly well received on ShareCG...maybe not as much as M4 and the Mil Horse. Doing freebies is different from commercial work, since you don't have the advantage of advertising and promotion. However, if I see 25 downloads on the first day of a release, that's usually an indicator that it will do well over the long run...as much as 60 to 90 within a year, since the poses serve as an advertisement for the product represented...as more people obtain the product, more poses are downloaded. That's what I'm hoping to accomplish with all this, since Hivewire took such a hard hit this year with the forum and store being down, I'd like to contribute something toward the recovery of some of their losses. Hope it helps, and hope it will be a little fun in the process

Here's the Crossdresser conversion for Dawn of Poserworld V3 Cowgirl shirt and M2 His and Her Jeans. The larger legs of the jeans work nicely with Dawn's western boots.

That did come out well.

Miss B? See that shirt? Now apply our previous talk about fringes to it. The back side of that top section will have fringes in a show costume too as well and the front often does as well.

 

[Miss B]

Yes Terre, that's pretty much what I was picturing when you mentioned it earlier.

 

[Terre]

Good afternoon.

 

[sanbie]

Great poses...thank you for sharing

 

[skylab]

You're welcome Sanbie

 

[Miss B]

Afternoon Terre.

Hey Miss B Working on the last Dusk rodeo pose...and multi-tasking doing laundry, watching House MD, and fixing dinner, all at the same time....two heads and four arms would sure help along about now

 

[Miss B]

Oh don't I know it. ~LOL~

 

[skylab]

All ready for the deep freeze this weekend? Heading for single digits overnight Saturday and Sunday

 

[Terre]

Eep! Stay warm and safe, mam!

 

[Miss B]

I'm never ready for a deep freeze, but working out at the gym will keep me warm for a while.

Of course, I may have to drag out the afore-mentioned Shearling coat, boots and mittens.

...and when all else fails, sweats and the blanket

 

[skylab]

Hey Terre...yep, thought we were going to get through this winter without severe temps...oh well, wrong...

 

[Miss B]

...and when all else fails, sweats and the blanket

Actually . . . . . 2 blankets with the sweats.

 

[skylab]

Yes indeed

Here's the last rodeo pose...yee-haw!

HIVEWIRE HORSE - RODEO 2

 

[Terre]

[skylab]

I'll probably do something for comic relief now...so you're apt to see anything

 

[skylab]

Time for rest now...see you all tomorrow
