Title: Something Old, Something New
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Ice, Frost, Yaz
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Sword. Large cat.
Notes: So, I was working with the Inn. Seems I can only get one figure at a time to render in it, or it just crashes, trying. This makes me unhappy. I tried saving the set out as a single .obj file, because sometimes that helps. Yeah, except the part where it completely mis-applied half the textures. Anyway, here's one with Frost, one half-posed test-shot with Frost and Yaz (miracle of miracles) and one completely unrelated shot that I finally got halfway right, after poking it on and off since like … March.

Title: Frosted Falls
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Frost
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: That's not a mini, it's a belt.
Notes: So, all of my save files are shot, until I can recreate the object data for them. What's this mean, practically? Well, I have to load and re-save about thirty thousand files, until I can successfully get the objects to load into the saved files like they're supposed to. In the mean time, you get to watch me piss around with stuff I didn't even know I had, because I probably have to save it out anyway. Also? New computer is fucking awesome. Rendered this in about 15 minutes, with raytracing on. That would have been a two or three hour render, before. OMG, decent lighting, here I come. Also, dear self? Don't shoot at an angle where the shadow is visible on the fog plane. Not cool.

Title: November and March
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Dark, Ice, Frost
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D1)
Warnings: Smokin' fag smoking a fag. Frost looks way too good in that mini.
Notes: I'm trying to re-frame some old stuff as potential calendar pieces. Alleycats and Morning After, so far. Alleycats as a full-page and Morning After as a 2/3. No post on either of these, yet. Yes, Ice's hair is totally screwed up. Yes, I have a way to fix that in post.

Title: Pleasure – WIP
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Frost, Morningstar
Rating: M (L0 N4 S2 V0 D0)
Warnings: That's not a mini, it's a wide belt.
Notes:Â I was reading the archives on ErosBlog, this morning, and tripped over this blindingly awesome bit of Milo Manara's work. 'Course, it's Manara, it's all blindingly awesome. But, it gave me a horrible idea that I just had to attempt, and I'm sure I'll be finishing it, once I find the missing jacket and chains, both of which I know I have around my runtime, somewhere…

Title:Â Bathing Beauties
Fandom:Â Magelight Chronicles
Characters:Â Dark, Frost, Ice
Rating: M (L0 N3 S0 V0 D1)
Warnings:Â Three naked guys and a hookah.
Notes:Â Not much to say about this one. I'd been looking for an excuse to use Dark and that set in the same image, since I first saw the set. Unfortunately, the native textures for the water and the hookah kind of suck, so I ended up using Sha's gold shader (which is the only viable gold shader I've found, despite having like four) and this awesome tutorial on making water that doesn't suck. And despite the fact that no one is smoking anything in that hookah, at the mo, I'm thinking the look on Dark's face says 'I could be significantly more stoned, with very little effort'.

Title: La Dame de la Débauche
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Frostburn
Rating: T
Warnings: No man should look that good in a dress.
Notes: After days of not being able to use Photoshop, I went to post this, and *gasp* I couldn't log in to Blogger! Of course, this only affects Firefox, for some idiot reason or other, so I'll be using Opera to make my catching up posts for the day. Anyway, here's Frost, looking gorgeous. Enjoy!

Title: Winter's Wizard Redux
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Frostburn
Rating: G-
Warnings: None
Notes: I originally did this as one of the first images of Frost, and I remembered really liking it. Since then, the figure and textures have evolved, and I decided to re-shoot this old classic with the new Frost. Unfortunately, it turned out I'd screwed up the original file, and the lighting was completely bogged, so it's been re-lit. It's also larger, because I hope that once I work out the bugs in the face, it'll be suitable to use for June, in the calendar.

Title: Even in the Light of Day
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Frost, Dark
Rating: G-
Warnings: None
Notes: I'm working on November, in which both Dark and Frost have birthdays, so I figured to get the two of them together for the month. I really like the first background better, but at the resolution I need, it turns into a grainy streak of piss, so, that's not really going to work. Last one doesn't make me unhappy but it loses a lot of the ambiance.

Title: Waiting for the Airship (Again)
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Frostburn, Yaz
Rating: G-
Warnings: None
Notes: The coat bothered the piss out of me, last time around. It still bothers me now, but less so, because it doesn't defy physics until you look more closely, now.

Title: Waiting for the Airship
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Frost, Yaz
Rating: G-
Warnings: WIP
Notes: This was mostly an exercise in seeing if I could render something large enough for a calendar, without blowing up my computer in the process. 200ppi, 2200×1700, in the last image — not that it'll show that big, here, since everything I upload gets resized down to 1600x whatever. But, yeah, semi-steampunk setting. Yaz and Frost waiting for the bus an airship.
