Title: Not While I'm Working
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Nox
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: None
Notes: If I shoot this for wall-hanging size, I think I'll do it in 4×5 instead of square. The really ugly parts are toward the outer edges, in the back, but so's some of the really nice stuff, so… I can rearrange things. This is an example of what you're supposed to do with raytracing. Yes, that puff of smoke is actually reflected in three of the cans on the shelf. I've never gotten anything I didn't mean to be a mirror to do that, before, and it's awesome.

Title: He Remembered His Sword
Fandom: (That picturebook I'm working on that hasn't got a title, yet)
Characters: F-listMalachai Schade
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Shirtless dude swinging a sword at a hay bale.
Notes: I said I was doing this… It's not the first page, it'll be the second or third. I've just spent most of a week trying to wrap my head around British fashion from about 2000 years ago, and yes, I will be doing some half-assed pop-culture interpretation of that, because holy crap, do you have any idea how hard it is to find decent 3D representations of actual historical clothing from an unpopular time and place? Also, woad. Because I like the way it looks. No postwork. There's a couple places where I'm a little unsure about angles and textures, but I think the lighting's pretty good. The whole first part of the book is pretty much going to be overcast or moderately cloudy, because time and place. First person who tells me his name is inappropriate to the time and place is getting told to shut up and buy the fucking book, because seriously, it's ALL EXPLAINED IN THE TEXT. Also, book has no name yet, which will lead to tag headaches, later, and a crippling lack of a master post, for a while.

Title: Get Well Soon!
Fandom: Potterverse
Characters: Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange
Rating: G- (L0 N0 S0 V1 D0)
Warnings: Heavily implied violence
Notes: A gift for someone presently in hospital, who I happen to know is a fan of Bellatrix. Yes, I will probably re-shoot this at a later date, to correct her facial expression. I just couldn't quite manage better than that, this evening. His, on the other hand, is dead-on.

Title: Queen of the Sea
Fandom: N/A
Characters: A nereid
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Weapons are depicted, but not in a threatening way.
Notes: I dunno. I've half-finished a bunch of crap this month, and this was on the list. Finally got off my ass and corrected the last few things that were bugging the crap out of me. Take this as insight into how not to shoot an underwater scene. Yes, there's a water plane attached to the camera. I was hoping for a more ripply effect, there.

Title: Four Hundred Pounds of Whoopass in a Two Hundred Pound Sack
Fandom: N/A
Characters:y!GallerySpykeTyranno, an anthro goat dude
Rating: M (L0 N3 S0 V1 D0)
Warnings: Naked goat-dude has been punched out.
Notes: This is the preview of what will probably become the final image for y!GallerySpykeTyranno.

Title: TV Party
Fandom: Lost Souls AU
Characters: F-listMalachai Schade, Zillah
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Shitty lighting. Shirtless vampire.
Notes: LOLvampires, part 2. I'm just tired of crashing Studio after every render, so … here's the sort of crappy version of this one. They're watching Nosferatu, the 1922 one, not the 1977 one. I suspect Chai doesn't get it, but Zillah thinks it's hysterical.

Title: What devilry is this?
Fandom: Lost Souls AU
Characters: F-listMalachai Schade, Zillah
Rating: T (L2 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Shirtless vampire does not understand pizza or iPhone.
Notes: LOLvampires, part 1. Chai doesn't eat food, but Zillah does, sometimes. Ordering pizza? Totally beyond Chai's comprehension. Give the guy a break, he's ignored most of the technological breakthroughs of the last two millennia. I'm pretty sure that pizza's going to be a Hawaiian style with honey-mustard dipping sauce.

Title: Waking the Dead
Fandom: N/A
Characters: F-listMalachai Schade, F-listKerrith
Rating: M (L0 N3 S0 V2 D0)
Warnings: Naked vampire, blood, almost a corpse
Notes: So, Kerr's got this erotically charged, but non-explicit tale of becoming a vampire. Me? I just removed the trousers from it. No LOLvampires, just yet. I had to get through this fixation with the chainmail shader, first. This is a really bad case of 'I'm tired of looking at it'. Hour-long test render times do not make for a happy camper.

Title: In the Fading Light
Fandom: Lost Souls
Characters: Zillah
Rating: M (L0 N3 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Naked vampire
Notes: I'm still screwing around with his skin tone. All the blond-eyebrowed skins I have are heavily tanned, so like… totally inappropriate for a vampire. This one only looks lightly tanned, because of the yellow light. I'm probably going to do another version of this one with a red hourglass tattoo.

[=EDIT=] Extra lulz! This is post #666!
