Creating the battlespace

The late, great Sir Terry Pratchett once said that, when constructing a fantasy world, the first question he would ask himself was 'how do the sewers work?'

It's a great principle to f...

Don't worry, there's still ten more you haven't seen yet...

1st Person Goblin

On the subject of 1st Person view points, I've got quite the taste for them. Here's one half of a scene from the gate-battle for my Elves vs Goblins battle, which is proceeding slowly but steadily....

Scene within a Scene

If you ever find yourself wondering why it takes me so long to get anything done, this scene might explain things. I've been working on and off for several years on a space-girls and lasers story w...

Cocktail Dresses

I said I'd try and populate the 'modern' folder, so here's something I've completed quite recently. Genesis 9 looks good, but she's a real resource hog and I had to render this scene three at a tim...

Crossing the moat

Again, I feel like the setting I chose really let me down on this: All the edges look too straight and regular, like a 90s video game.

Attacker downed

Another close-up of an attacker getting hit, with some more in-render blood effects that look entirely out of place for an arrow like that, not to mention the poke-through around the bra.

Downed Ninja close-up

I have a really bad habit of getting distracted by individual characters: I plan a story of twenty slides or so, and end up having to do follow-up and prequel shots of different characters when the...

Ninja defender hit

Often with G8, character morphs can create strange rendering artifacts on the foreheads (look at the the black spot on the left-hand girl's head). You can get around it by increasing the size of th...

Fallen attacker

A close-up of one of the attackers, and an early experiment with decal effects for blood. Close-in scenes made me really dislike this set: There was a weird bump map which meant that the ground ren...

Onna Bushi charge

Another unfinished charge scene: I was never happy with how shallow the formation looked, but I couldn't be arsed going back in and putting more figures in the background.

3: Lorienne (iii)

She couldn't breathe- couldn't get up- couldn't understand why. Lorienne's Prada heels made a harsh scratching sound on the bricks as she convulsed, choking and coughing. Blood bubbled up between h...

3: Lorienne (ii)

She didn't see the shooter who got her- was too busy staring down her sights at the bitch behind the entrance-way when the slug smacked into her chest. It was like being pushed hard in the chest an...

3: Lorienne (i)

There were shooters on the ground floor, shooters on the balcony- probably shooters behind the damned concrete lattice as well. A bullet hissed past Lorienne as she pressed forwards, feeling her Gl...

2: Faye (iii)

As the courtyard swam with her tears and her bare feet kicked out against the pain, there was only one thought in her head:

I fucking knew it was an abmbush! I knew it was a bad idea! View Post

2: Faye (ii)

The bullets that struck her came out of nowhere- she didn't even hear the faint crack of discharge over her own surprised grunt. She dropped her own gun, breathless and suddenly weak, her knees sag...

2: Faye (1)

To Faye's eyes, the wide open courtyard seemed like an ambush waiting to happen. She could sense the nervousness of the others as they approached it.

"Push up," murmured Isla, the redhead cov...

1: Cassie (iii)

The shock didn't last long. Tearing open her blouse to see the bullet hole in her bra was enough to bring home the reality: She tried to scream, but the breath just wouldn't come. The heels of her ...

1: Cassie (ii)

When the shooting started, Cassie was so focused on hunting for targets on ground level, she didn't see the dark figures up on the balcony. When the pop-pop of gunfire sounded all around her, and t...

1: Cassie (i)

'Light resistance,' the intelligence report had claimed, but so far there'd been no resistance at all, and as Cassie emerged into the shadowed courtyard that fronted the facility, she couldn't shak...

Watching the Camp

My Elves vs Goblins story has one minor obstacle on the path to progress (two if you count the fact that the gate battle is proving bloody hard work).

Basically, I've done loads of re...

Mona's ironic end

Now I'm not guaranteeing that this is exactly how it will go for Mona, but having lost a training fight in the prologue renders, I think it makes sense for her to lose a real one too. This is a moc...

Black Team: The Gym

 So my idea is that the bald guy is hiring the mercs, and the suit lady is showing him around their training facilities to convince him they're worth the money. As well as seeing the core work...

Knife Training

So I showed you the Knife Training WIP a few weeks ago: Here's the first render from what I think will be the final version. As you can see, Mona is pretty pissed off that Eleanor's gotten the bett...

Here's another example of building characters: On the left, Billie is one of the recruits learning to use her Scuba kit in the swimming pool scene (you haven't seen that yet). On the right is Natsu...

Black Team: Mona and Eleanor

So you saw the initial stages of the training knife-fight for the set-up sequence: Here's the two trainees from that scene- Eleanor (brunette) and Mona (blonde). I set them up in their Scuba kit in...

Here's Book 4, which brings the Ghulam invasion arc to a close. Book 5 deals with an Amazon counter-invasion of the Ghulam homelands, but I never finished it. I got distracted with Book 6, which I'...

Amazons Book 1

OK, so a few people have asked me to put these on here: I wrote some (OK, an awful lot of) text stories about Amazon warriors in various battles, and they are really really old. I have to admit, I ...
