Title: Test: City Street with 1950s Limo
Fandom:  Yu-Gi-Oh, Lost Souls
Characters: Amelda, Bakura, Molochai, Twig
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Anime boys in skimpy clothes, kneeling in the road
Notes: I've been working on the set for 3 & 4 in Series B. I think I'll be doing this set in reverse order, just to keep things interesting. y!GallerySargantas wanted a limousine in these shots, but the only limo I could lay hands to was this 1936 model, which is pretty posh, if a little anachronistic. (I have been corrected. It is a 1959 model, and there is some debate about whether it is a limo, since the model maker identifies it as one. It's definitely not stretch.) Retextured most of it with some awesome car paint shaders I had laying around. I probably need to re-do the interior, as well, before I do #3. I'm debating whether the scene is too light, but I've recently got some crit that I shoot too dark for print, so I might just keep these light, for now. It looks like I can shoot two figures at a time, on this set, before things start exploding, which is good to know before I start building a scene. *laughs* Also, Cilea for V4 converts really well to M4/H4 as demonstrated by the kneeling pair. I probably want to re-texture the metal parts, so they don't glow in the dark, but it looks pretty good, aside from that.

Title: Sibling Rivalry
Fandom: Winter
Characters: Murphy, Maitiu
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: A dude in a greatkilt.
Notes: Actually, I'm lying through my teeth. That's not a greatkilt, it's a dirty hackjob. Doesn't look too horrible, even if it is the wrong cloth weight and it doesn't drape quite right… Also, her teeth are too bright and his hair is a little plasticky. Murphy and Maitiu are a pair of Sidhe warriors, sister and brother. She likes night raids, and he loves setting towns on fire. Recently, she's gotten much more practical and solution-oriented, and he's gotten a whole lot whinier.

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: 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.

Test: Finnegan

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: 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: 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…

Title: Test: Catgirl Mocker (Jaguar flavour)
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Mocker
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: There's a lot of skin, but nothing indecent. Also, semi-anthro.
Notes: Another test for something that'll show up in a later commissioned work. Mocker changing from a big cat, to a pretty girl, and then into a handsome dude. It's Mocker. He's like that. This test shows the jaguar and jaguar-skinned Mocker.
