Title: Another Image Dump
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Yaz, Frost, Dark, Ice
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Frost in drag.
Notes: So, I've been working my ass off, not that anyone can tell, since I haven't been posting, but here's three unprocessed calendar images and one I'm still working on, as we speak. I just wanted to show off the green velvet thigh-high boots, in that one.

Title: A Bottle of Wine and the Skulls of Your Ancestors
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Frost
Rating:G (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: None
Notes: I haven't been able to work, lately. Just … blank. Realised that if I put Frost in trousers I could use this one for October, so, here's the clean version.

Title:Â Goggles First
Fandom:Â Magelight
Characters:Â Yaz
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings:Â None.
Notes:Â This one's for 
DannyDarkness who needs something to distract him from the guy passed out in his bed. Yes, Yaz puts his goggles on first. The towel is an afterthought. Also the pose and lighting are kind of garbage, but I did this in like half an hour.

Title:Â On Magic and Magical Effects
Fandom:Â Magelight Chronicles
Characters:Â N/A
Rating: G- (L1 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings:Â Poorly written in half an hour.
Notes:Â So, as some of you know, I've been working on Magelight both as a book and as an RP setting, because there's nothing like other people playing with your toys to let you know where the gaping holes are in the setting. One of those gaping holes that came to my attention was the fact that, for a fantasy setting, magic was pretty poorly defined, in terms of who could do what with what to whom else. This isn't the OMG FINAL ANSWER on the subject, but it starts to address the topic and straighten out some basics. Yes, the document is ugly. It's a gDocs embed. I can't really change the colours.

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: Gaslight, Motherfucker! Do You Speak It?
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: None
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: None
Notes: It's just a bar. Nobody's in it, or anything, but I built it out of spare parts from probably a dozen other things. Yes, the candles suck. Candles usually suck, until I fake them in post. The lighting, however, does not suck… Yet. And yes, something about irony. Title of this post and the fact I'm using candles has not escaped me. I haven't figured out how to drop the candles and edit for gas, because that involves some significant fuckery, for which I am presently too lazy. I'm shocked this place even renders at all. If it renders with people -in- it, without crashing? I'll be actually impressed. Note that this is only the left third of the bar, and not all of even that.
I got less lazy. Second image is gaslight. Quality is debatable, but I still managed it.

Title: Calendar Preview and August
Fandom: Magelight Chronicles
Characters: Dark, Jack Ass, Genie, Yaz, Bitty, Gwydion, Ice
Rating: G- (L1 N0 S0 V0)
Warnings: None
Notes: February, April, July, and August are done. I'm working on what I think is October, now. You've seen those images, before, but I shot them at the wrong size and with crap lights, the first time. This set is four calendar page previews and the images for August.

Title:Â Image Dump
Fandom:Â Magelight; N/A
Characters:Â Mocker, Genie; Yaz; Jerrett
Rating: G- (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings:Â Anthro weasel in a kilt.
Notes:Â This is everything I did today. Mostly just pissing around to see what's still broken, and fixing the last of it, before I have to go in and rebuild some stuff I made from prims. Three images.

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.
