Late Update: 5th June!

Hey, it's only more than a month late.





Continuing the Troll Trio series...



An orc futa and a blood elf woman make some heat in Grizzly Hills.

Alley Deals and Updates

Heya, folks.  Pics seem fine and dandy again.  Woo!

Here's a quick status update and, because status updates by themselves are boring, also a picture.

Troll Ladies!

At the request of a Darknest member, Lady_mc24, I've put together a tantalising trio of tasty trollish trollops for your viewing pleasure.

Not much to say on this one.  One is of average* build, one is petite and the other more rounded.

Trolls apparently don't have eyebrows.  I find that stupid, for reasons both of aesthetics and biology, so mine do.  That's about as simple as that gets.

* = 'Average' is defined here as 'the standard Troll girl form I've developed', because I needed an average and that's what I came up with.

Beautiful Eve

I have a tendency, believe it or not, to obsess over tiny details.

I'll trawl the internet for hours on end to find that one little thing I need for a specific project.  I agonise over writing.  I once decided to create a world and wanted a fairly realistic map - so I mapped out everything from prevailing weather zones to climate areas to tectonic plates to ocean currents.

Sometimes, though, I want to make something that's allowed to be NQR.  The above image is called Beautiful Eve; more correctly it's Beautiful Eve in the Wilds of Eden, but that's way too long to keep typing.

Current Projects...

I've been keeping myself busy with developing new models for the various WoW races.  The boys are proving a lot trickier than the girls; in an effort to keep the girls looking as sexually appealing as possible Blizzard seems to have made the majority of the ladies at least sort-of-human in proportion and appearance.

Astromechsy!

Here's one for Certain Star Wars Fans out there.

RaceSquares!

So, I've been working on rebuilding my collection of models (as you know).  I've a way to go yet but I've had a couple of breakthroughs and done a lot of work on various races.

Blood Elf

Dwarf

Gnome

Goblin

Human

Night Elf

Orc

Results: Poll 1 - Race Preferences

Results are in, preferences are chosen, votes are cast, and all those kind of 'it's done!' sentiments.

But how did things turn out?  Let's have a quick look at the results, from most to least popular.

Draenei!

At last it's under way.  I give you...  A draenei!  And not just a draenei...

Yep, a mini-series of draenic naughtiness!

Filling In the Gaps

I mentioned a few scenes I've done in the last post but I didn't actually post them.  Here y'go, here's a scattered few.

After this 'Read More' break, anyway.

Ongoing Projects...

Ah me, ah my.

It's been a little while since an update. I've actually not played with LuxRender since the picture of Aya I posted. I'm doing more work trying to get a wider selection of race types settled. I managed blood elves with no real difficulty (the glaring exception being their ears) and I quite like how Lacey, my gnome female, came out.

Then I turned my hand to the female orc and behold, Chekaya was born. I'm not overly pleased with her as she feels a bit scrawny for my tastes - but then again maybe she just needs to grow on me. She is meant to be fairly young.

A brief return to blood elves in order to create Atryth and I was left wondering 'What next?'

What next indeed.

Playing with Lux

Lux is Latin for 'light' and is also the preferred SI unit (International System of Units, or Système international d'unités in French, thus 'SI') of measuring luminescence, the less favoured being the lumen.


It's also a powerful hardware-driven rendering program, LuxRender, and something I've been mucking about with recently.  It's open source (and thus free) and has a number of extremely cool features.  But it's also very slow.  Have a look at these two pictures I rendered up today...

The Sommeil, or Le Sleepers

Yes, the name is a joke.

'The Sommeil' or 'Le Sleepers'

This is a render of Ayalessa and her wife* Velispyr, asleep and smiling after a bit of nuptial naughties, based on the extremely avid painting Le Sommeil by the French Realist painter Gustave Coulbert, finished in 1866.  It was a painting he did for Khalil Bey and is considered one of the finest examples of lesbianism in art to date.  It was not permitted to be shown publicly until 1988 because, well, it's of two obviously post-coital women.  Khalil Bey had a taste for them, apparently.

Character Portraits: An Elf, A Gnome and an Orc

So, I've been working out viable ways of doing character portraits now that I have the studies worked out.  As one might expect all of these pictures are of female characters but fear not!  There are boys in the works.
