Title: More Like Him Every Day
Fandom: Potterverse
Characters: Lucius Malfoy, Orion Lestrange (OC), Finnegan O'Ruadhain (OC)
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D1)
Warnings: Finney's not wearing a shirt, there's some drinking of beer.
Notes: A birthday present for ospreybagman, over on LJ. Orion Lestrange (OC son of Rodolphus and Bellatrix) hanging out in a bar with his … sort of uncles, Lucius Malfoy and Finnegan O'Ruadhain (OC cousin of Rodolphus). I suspect you might have to be familiar with the AU we played in, for any of this to make sense.

Title:Transitions A03a: Spatter
Fandom:  Yu-Gi-Oh, Lost Souls
Characters: Amelda, Zillah 
Rating: Rating: NC-17 (L0 N4 S4 V0 D0) 
Warnings: Porn. Unrealistic colloidial substance in motion.
Notes: I'm not happy with this, but I think it's the best I'm able to manage, at this point. I've spent days screwing with the texturing and the angles, and it's not getting any better. Add this to my list of things that are way more difficult than they look. For y!GallerySargantas, of course, who gave me two options for this shot, and I picked the more visually interesting one.

Title: Test: Sullivan
Fandom: Winter
Characters: Sullivan O'Ruadhain
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: A dude in a loincloth with a pike.
Notes: So, I just spent thirteen hours working on Sullivan. He's supposed to have some really gorgeous scarring on his chest, but the damned displacement maps won't play nice, so I'm probably just going to leave that be, for now. I managed to get the ones on his face working, at least. Depending on what angle I render him from, he looks like about five people I know, and none of that was intentional.

Title: Test: Finnegan
Fandom: Winter
Characters: Finnegan O'Ruadhain
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: A dude in a loincloth with a pike.
Notes: So, like… months ago, I said I was going to add a couple of Redcaps to my repertoire. Finnegan and Sullivan were the obvious choices, since they've already appeared in a few scenes. You'll notice this character and the next one I'm about to do will look a whole lot alike, but it's because they're brothers. Finnegan's actually the tall and skinny one, for certain values of 'tall' and 'skinny', which really only make sense after you see Sullivan. Notice the iron boots and iron pike. Finnegan breaks with tradition, a bit, in that he doesn't wear a hat, but the rag tied around his forehead is soaked in blood, although I need to tweak the colour a little more so it's dried blood colour, instead of mud colour. These are going to be labelled 'Winter', instead of 'Potterverse', despite having only appeared in Death Eater-related scenes, until this point, because they're not really mythos-specific, and will fit pretty much anywhere you've got room to stick Redcaps.

Title: Transitions A4: Wave Goodbye
Fandom:  Yu-Gi-Oh, Lost Souls
Characters: Amelda, Bakura, Zillah 
Rating: M (L0 N3 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Vampire. Anime boys in chains.
Notes:This took way too long, but it's shot from underwater, which always adds another layer of difficulty. Yes, we all know they're not going to drown, because I already did the scenes that come after this, but in the correct order, it ought to be suspenseful… For y!GallerySargantas, of course. (And, yes, there are two more images (A3a and A3b) between this one and the one before it, but I wanted to get the underwater out of the way, before I started thinking of how to frame those.)

Title: Guarding the Gate
Fandom: N/A
Characters: F-listVeran
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Anthro panther wearing a loincloth.
Notes: So, I swear to god, I'm working on the next Transitions image, but it's kicking my ass. I took some time out to do something… else, and what leapt to mind was a quick throwaway for F-List's Veran.

Title: Round About the Cauldron Go
Fandom: N/A
Characters: Nara
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Half-naked Asian-looking dude with tattoos and antlers
Notes: Some more of that fantasy book covers thing… Testing some stuff that's not obvious at all, in the image. Mostly checking a base figure that lets me blend morphs intended for M4 with morphs intended for V4. It… mostly works. M4 with a bunch of Aiko and V4 Elite thrown in.

Title: Steam Made Flesh
Fandom: N/A
Characters: Emmett
Rating: Rating: <span style=T" height="16px" src="https://penbrydd.groundline.net/wp-content/luxintenebris/rating/PG13.jpg" width="32px" height="16px" /> (L0 N2 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: A steam-powered android, in a thong, missing some skin.
Notes: This goes back to that weird thing that happens in my head, sometimes, where I have to do what would have been a fantasy novel cover, but with a male character in what is traditionally a female character's position/pose/clothing. This one's actually using … um… I think only the circlet is originally for M4. The skin, hair, eyes, and thong are for V4, and the sandals were for V3, I think.

Title: Test: Pinhead 01
Fandom: Hellraiser
Characters: Pinhead
Rating:G- (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: I'm going for PG instead of G, because it's Pinhead. I don't really have a tag for 'dude's got pins sticking in his face'.
Notes: So, I feel like I should explain myself… *coughs* Point the first, I've been unable to find an actual Pinhead outfit for M4 or any other male figure. So, he's dressed funny. Outfit is Mourning Sun. Point the second, those are the pins and skin from V4 Quilty, because sometimes I do have the kung fu skills to make things like that work, but this time, the pins don't quite line up with the intersections, in a few places. Point the third, this is totally my mothers' day gift for my mum, who is a big fan, and got me hooked on Hellraiser (and the rest of Clive Barker's work) in the 80s. Hopefully, by next year, I'll be able to mangle together something that looks a little more accurate…
