Title: Like Any Other Day
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Noctis
Rating: G ( L0 N0 S0 V0 D0 )
Warnings: None
Notes: A certain Blackbird is expected to make an appearance in Autumn Grove, soon, which means I should get used to slipping him into bullshit doodles. So, here's Magelight's Noctis sitting around the garden in his underwear.

Characters: Chaz Villette , Noctis , Hafidha Gates
Rating: G ( L0 N0 S0 V0 D0 )
Warnings: None
Notes: Here's me still fiddling while Rome burns. Also, technically, probably spoilers. Meh. The conversation happens, but you'll have to wait to find out what it's about.

Title: His Excellency and Her Asskicking
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Artemisia , Noctis
Rating: G ( L0 N0 S0 V0 D0 )
Warnings: An ankle. Gasp.
Notes: While the rest of my portfolio burns down around my ears, have a blast from the past, done up all shiny new. Presenting the Avernine Envoy and his secretarial golem, Artemisia. Discerning Vexation readers may recognise one of these individuals. Those who appreciated last year's Christmas wallpapers may recognise the other.

Title: The Weapon of the Wood (Prologue)
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Mocker ♂, Noctis ♂, Artemesia ♀
Rating: G- (L1 N0 S0 V0 D1)
Warnings: Foul language, dark deeds, and gin.
Notes: The Unspoken, who numbered several tens, at the start of the War of Dominion, which lasted close to seven hundred years, were nearly obliterated during the war. Five worth speaking of survived it, and one of them died a hundred years later. Two were divided over her death, and one of those two has just discovered another of their number, presumed dead for centuries, may yet live. This is not actually the commission! This is the prologue to the commission, which I had to write, in order to screw my head on to do the commission. Consider it an introduction to some of the background, if you haven't read enough Magelight to know Mocker, his troubles, and his bizarre sense of humour.

Title: A Glass of Poison (Redux)
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Noctis
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: None
Notes: So, I remembered staring at this image for days, at one point, and I couldn't figure out why the glass wasn't behaving like glass. Having since acquired a clue, I tried again, with much less shitty results.

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: Bathing Beauty
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Noctis
Rating: M (L0 N2 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Nox in the bath.
Notes: So, I find myself playing with water an awful lot, of late… Possibly because I'm finding a bunch of water-related crap I forgot I had. This was mostly so I could test out the wet skin shader and the spilling water props.

Title: Poison Cheesecake
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Noctis
Rating: M (L0 N3 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Nox, with less clothes. A lot less clothes.
Notes: I realised I had to actually give Nox some more thought, since he's… not supposed to be quite the colours he keeps rendering in. I had to retint the skin and then fix the ambient from red to yellow. Blah blah nerdy shite, everyone's favourite poisoner takes it off, below the cut.
