Title: You Don't Want to Do That (almost right)
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Ice
Rating:G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: None
Notes: So, I liked this image, but I loathed the way I couldn't get it to light cleanly. Then I turned on raytracing. Seventeen lights with raytracing on? Half an hour at 800×800.When I figure out what size this is supposed to be, I need to shoot it again, in the last two versions below, so I can mix and match some bits of light and shadow.

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: Triptych – Ice
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Emoric, Ice, Margery
Rating: G- (L1 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: None
Notes: I'm really not sure about how Emoric came out. I'm thinking there's still something subtly wrong in the angles, there. Margery may also need stays, if I can find something suitable. But, here you go. Ice and his dead loves.

Rating: G- (L0 N0 S0 V0 D1)
Warnings:Smokin' fag smoking a fag?

Magelight Setting: The Wergild Notes
Title: Wergild Notes
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: N/A
Rating: T (L2 N0 S0 V2 D0)
Warnings: Mentions of death, violence, and politics.
Notes: For anyone who's wondered why I've been so quiet lately, there've been developments in the core plot that have required a metric asstonne of research and development, and this is what I get for doing dev for an entire kingdom by myself. *grins* These are the base notes for the wergild table that defines the prices for damaging someone's honour. This version isn't finished, but the dev page is embedded, so it'll update itself as I work on it. While male titles are used exclusively throughout the document, it should be understood that in the context of Magelight's Winter Court, the contents apply equally to women.

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…
