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: He Remembered His Sword
Fandom: (That picturebook I'm working on that hasn't got a title, yet)
Characters:
Malachai Schade
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Shirtless dude swinging a sword at a hay bale.
Notes: I said I was doing this… It's not the first page, it'll be the second or third. I've just spent most of a week trying to wrap my head around British fashion from about 2000 years ago, and yes, I will be doing some half-assed pop-culture interpretation of that, because holy crap, do you have any idea how hard it is to find decent 3D representations of actual historical clothing from an unpopular time and place? Also, woad. Because I like the way it looks. No postwork. There's a couple places where I'm a little unsure about angles and textures, but I think the lighting's pretty good. The whole first part of the book is pretty much going to be overcast or moderately cloudy, because time and place. First person who tells me his name is inappropriate to the time and place is getting told to shut up and buy the fucking book, because seriously, it's ALL EXPLAINED IN THE TEXT. Also, book has no name yet, which will lead to tag headaches, later, and a crippling lack of a master post, for a while.

Title: Get Well Soon!
Fandom: Potterverse
Characters: Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange
Rating: G- (L0 N0 S0 V1 D0)
Warnings: Heavily implied violence
Notes: A gift for someone presently in hospital, who I happen to know is a fan of Bellatrix. Yes, I will probably re-shoot this at a later date, to correct her facial expression. I just couldn't quite manage better than that, this evening. His, on the other hand, is dead-on.

Title: Queen of the Sea
Fandom: N/A
Characters: A nereid
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Weapons are depicted, but not in a threatening way.
Notes: I dunno. I've half-finished a bunch of crap this month, and this was on the list. Finally got off my ass and corrected the last few things that were bugging the crap out of me. Take this as insight into how not to shoot an underwater scene. Yes, there's a water plane attached to the camera. I was hoping for a more ripply effect, there.

Title: TV Party
Fandom: Lost Souls AU
Characters:
Malachai Schade, Zillah
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Shitty lighting. Shirtless vampire.
Notes: LOLvampires, part 2. I'm just tired of crashing Studio after every render, so … here's the sort of crappy version of this one. They're watching Nosferatu, the 1922 one, not the 1977 one. I suspect Chai doesn't get it, but Zillah thinks it's hysterical.

Title: Landsknecht
Fandom: N/A
Characters:
Malachai Schade
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Really big sword?
Notes: So, there was this conversation that ended up at 'Photobooth! LOL!' and I realised it wasn't even going to be slightly possible if I didn't have Chai on hand to subject to such godawful things. Consider this a test shot.

Title: It's Not Even Tuesday
Fandom: Lost Souls
Characters: Zillah, Tamarind (OC)
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Miniskirt on a girl?
Notes: I dunno. I've been screwing around with a bunch of crap that didn't work, lately. Z's jacket, here, is one of those things. I hate velvet. Seriously. Also, I know it's supposed to be black and lined in purple satin, but I don't have a jacket with the mat zones for that, so you get purple velvet. Because I said so. Nyaa. *looks again* HOLY JESUS. Ok, the human surface shader is my new best friend. And you can fuck right off about the chiffon scarf.

Title: The Artful Archer
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Ice
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: None
Notes: So, I was working on a series of images a couple months ago, and this one just never looked right. Then I learned some cool stuff. Now it looks a lot better. I debate upping the gamma in Photoshop, just a smidge.

Title: Home is Where the Goats Are
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Morny, a goat
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Morny and shirts? Ever?
Notes: So, I just looted DryJack's fantasy houses collection, on ShareCG, and this one gave me ideas. Here's Morny and one of his multitude of goats.

Title: Oread
Fandom: N/A
Characters: a mountain nymph
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Lace dress
Notes: My content library just exploded again. This makes me very cranky, since I never finished re-sorting it last time. However, while I'm putting shit away and loading things isn't making shit explode, I took the opportunity to raid RDNA's freebies, so chances are you'll be seeing some more of that as well as the ridiculous amount of new stuff I bought on epic sale, last month.
