Title: February: Love Is…
Fandom: Winter
Characters: Sullivan ♂, Murphy ♀
Rating: T" style="vertical-align: middle; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;" width="32px" /> (L2 N0 S0 V2 D0)
Warnings: It's Sullivan… Also, external organs. Not a typo.
Notes: I wanted something for February that captured that loving spirit of Valentine's Day, but … less sappy. More grotesque. I will admit to having toned it down a bit, for print. But, seriously? Typical Sully.

Title: Test: Krad
Fandom: D.N.Angel
Characters: Krad ♂
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: None
Notes: For 
Sargantas. Yeah, I'm supposed to be doing something else, but I got stuck, so here's the first draft of this, instead. As usual, comments, then revisions. Expect to see a few more drafts.

Title: Test: Bones/Tiresias/Thoth
Fandom: RAPTURE: Book of Names
Characters: Thoth ♂
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: He's got no eyes. You probably can't tell, but if the brightness is up, you might notice.
Notes: This is incorrect. I know it. But, it's also a first draft. Aiming for Book of Names-era Thoth, as opposed to RAPTURE's Bones. So, yeah, he's a little older, and a little better dressed. No cheap suits, here. I await comments, then revisions will come. (They may be slow revisions, because there's still seven images I have eight weeks to compose, shoot, and polish for publication.)

Title: The Unsurprising Shocking Conclusion
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh, Lost Souls
Characters: Yami Bakura ♂, Twig ♂, Zillah ♂
Rating: E (L0 N4 S4 V0 D0)
Warnings: Machine for automated buggery in use. Glaringly obvious sexual acts. Bizarre magical-sparking machine-tentacles.
Notes: Last one for this set! Next set for Sargantas will involve faeries, tree spirits, and the prince of some desert land! But, that's not happening until mid-October, because I have to finish the calendar before then, and I've only even sort of finished five images out of 12, so far. Also, if anyone's going to the Fear Mythos panel at Kita-Kon, some of my Fear Mythos art might be in the slideshow.

Title: September: Keep Your Fingers Out of the Tarts (WIP)
Fandom: Winter
Characters: Brigid ♀, Finnegan ♂
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Finney's shirtless and Brigid's gesturing threateningly with a spoon.
Notes: I can't keep staring at this, today. I know I need to shoot Brigid's face again because she's not nearly unimpressed enough, get a less-shiny take of the spoon, and do something about the way Brigid's bangs are pulled back from her forehead. Anyway, here's a 3/4 finished version of September. This is pieced together from five renders, already.

Title: Set: Freehold Kitchen
Fandom: Winter
Characters: N/A
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Wonky reflections. Weird shadows. No postwork.
Notes: So, they say that when one is a writer, one learns many, many things that are totally useless to one's life outside the story. I return this proposition: when one engages in building a world with internally-consistent parameters, one learns a whole lot of totally useless shit. Anyway, a few different angles of the room, with no characters, below the cut, along with a whole lot of ranting.

Title: Test: Brigid
Fandom: Winter
Characters: Brigid ♀
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Badly lit?
Notes: Brigid's the matriarch of the main house, on the goat farm upon which the exceptional number of Winter cousins live. (Granny O'Ruadhain's got the other house, away from the road.) She is most noted for her skill with a wooden spoon, having actually disarmed swordsmen with the thing. However, most often, it's just used for smacking the knuckles of anyone trying to taste her cooking before it's done. I'm going to screw around with trying to make her look a little older, since she should look like she's in her mid-40s to early-50s (and she's actually more than a thousand years old), and I'm … just not getting that to happen. I expect I'll only be able to dress her in dynamic cloth, as she's substantially overweight (not that you can really tell in this dress, which means I picked well) and none of the conforming outfits can handle it. *laughs* Nobody makes reasonable clothes for fat chicks. Not even 3d ones.

Title: August: Betting on the Fight
Fandom: Winter
Characters: Sullivan ♂, Maitiu ♂, Ciaran ♂, Cormac ♂
Rating: T (L0 N1 S0 V2 D0)
Warnings: Sully and Maitiu beating the piss out of each other. Glitchy edges.
Notes: This image is only glitchy if you're looking at it at max resolution. Printed, it's much smaller and way less weird. It's also composed of about a dozen layers, eight of which were rendered separately. I hate trees. Yes, I'm going to go back and try to smooth the branches a little, but I have to stop looking at this.

Title: January: Drinking the Devil's Wine
Fandom: Winter
Characters: Murphy ♀, Maitiu ♂
Rating: M (L0 N3 S0 V0 D1)
Warnings: Champagne. Also, some church-style edits to a nude painting. ARTFUL SHADOWS, DAMMIT.
Notes: So, this took me two days, mostly because I fell asleep yesterday, slept like a dead man, and then woke up to some sincerely bizarre dreams. That said, it's the fireplace that nearly killed me, here. All the corners are hand-edited, because the texture didn't line up. Same with the wall. If anything's spectacularly horrible, let me know.

Title: Museum 2B: Toward a Glittering Finish
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh, Lost Souls
Characters: Yami Bakura ♂, Twig ♂, Zillah ♂
Rating: M (L0 N3 S3 V0 D0)
Warnings: Machine for automated buggery in use. Barely-concealed sexual acts. Bizarre magical-sparking machine-tentacles.
Notes: This took a little longer than expected… I'm a little off-book here, but I just liked the dynamics and the unexpected use of feet. Also, Zillah is way the hell too short for the original idea to have worked in any way that didn't horribly violate the laws of physics.
