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.

I'd detoured from the primary races in the past to make monsters - a dreadsteed, imp, a voidwalker I'm not satisfied with, a succubus that needs work, a doomguard I'm actually quite happy with, a pair of harpies and a frostwyrm that turned out quite nicely - so doing a dryad wasn't too alarming. It came out quite well, for a first try, and I've rendered up a scene that might turn into a series.

I was tempted to try more monsters - my felhunter and felguard are rudimentary at best - but decided in the end to work on something far easier and quicker...

So I loaded a blood elf - no, I didn't make a high elf, that would have been a complete cop-out as a high elf will just be a blood elf with different textures - and started converting her into a Kaldorei, a night elf. Hooray for reverse genetics.

I'd done a night elf torso, of course, for the dryad, but this was different. Far taller than a sin'dorei, different proportions (longer legs in comparison to their torsos), different ears. In fact their whole face shape is somewhat different, noticeably elven but not the same, so I changed the basic bone structure to reflect that.

I was on a roll, too. Once I'd done the girl she clearly needed a companion. But I surprised myself by making two other base night elf figures - male and futanari. That second was prompted, I suppose, by a night elf/human story I wrote not long ago, in which futanari (I won't get into a long discussion about that here, go check Wikipedia and/or ask a manga fan, but the two easiest and occasionally accurate definitions are 'chicks with dicks' and 'hermaphrodites') featured highly.

I didn't want to just slap a cock on a girl, though, that would be too simple (and anyway, I've done it before). Instead I made the futa a little taller than the female, a little broader and more muscular, with slightly more square features. Enough difference to be noticeable (even if you ignore the huge member dangling between her* quite nice thighs), but not so much as to be grossly different.

Unless you're grossed out by cock.


One of the 'traditions' of futanari is that they tend to be, ahem, well endowed in both the male sense of having a penis that, when erect, is downright John Holmesian in proportion, as well as the female sense of being very generous of bust.

A lot of artists take a very particular view of that, producing figures that have shafts bigger than their legs and breasts bigger than their heads, and this can be a valid and (if nothing else) entertaining approach. I decided, though, that I didn't want to do that. Most of my figures have at least a semi-realistic feel to them (as far as 'realistic' goes for elves and gnomes and orcs). I wanted to maintain that feel while giving a nod to futanari tradition, though, so I decided the futa has a cock about as big as the male, and breasts a bit proportionally bigger than the female's - which is sort of fair enough, I feel, considering the futa is just overall bigger than her female counterpart.

And with that I stumbled quite by accident upon a new character, a wandering night elf futanari gypsy. It'll be interesting to see where she leads me.

Next up: a gnome male. I want to get Lacey paired up before taking on new races.

* = There is a whole swath of pronouns dedicated to hermaphrodite characters - shi instead of she or he, hir in place of her or his - but I don't use them for futanari just because referring to them with female pronouns is easier. Simple preference. As futanari are wholly fictitious they're unlikely to take offense. I always refer to actual hermaphrodites, and transsexual people, by the pronouns they prefer.
