Angel Corps vs Pirates 22-30

All the weapons effects and blood squibs were done in GIMP. It took me bloody ages.

Angel Corps vs Pirates 11-21

Fawn wanted Angel Elites in the story, rather than the regular white-suited kind. They still die like stormtroopers.

Angel Corps vs Pirates 1-10

So this is the final (so-far) Angel Corps story. It was a commission for Fawn, back in the day when Fetnoir still worked. There's a few elements in here I wouldn't have chosen if it was all my own ...

Scene 12

Scene 11

Elves vs Goblins: 31-34

In the mud, squirming, dying Wood Elves gasp for their last breaths, their blood spilled by Goblin-forged iron, while their still-living sisters send their righteous shafts of retribution back at t...

Memento Mori

First render for February!

Lasers are a pain

When Jollypops says she likes lasers, you make lasers.

That said; lasers are a pain in Iray. I like to make them using emissives: There are a couple of good beam props on the market that you ...

Coming in February

Unsurprisingly, this month has been mainly about the Elves. I'd planned to release four or so of the images per month, and got so excited about the story that I released sixteen.

In February,...

T8: Danielle

"Got one!" hissed Carrie, with vicious satisfaction in her voice.

Danielle didn't think she'd got anyone yet. All she'd seen so far were small, dark heads silhouetted against a bright blue sk...

Amazon Ambush

Here's the third Tier 1 render for January 2025! Amazons and arrows in the jungle!

Elves vs Goblins: 29-30

Obedient to their orders, the Rangers press the attack, some pausing to shoot while others advance past the fallen.

Slumped against the wheel of a rough-hewn Goblin cart; collapsed and abando...

Civil War: Chapter 2

Civil War: Chapter 1

Took a while, but I finally got round to uploading the first and second chapters.

9-12: Landing

Retro boosters burning bright, the assault pods strike alien earth with a thunderous concussion. Smoke and flames billow as the pod doors burst open, spilling their occupants out into the unknown. ...

Scene 9

"An ambuscade, if promptly discovered and surrounded, will repay the intended mischief with interest." - Vegetius.

Scene 10

Combat Estimate- Question 4: Where and How Can I Best Accomplish Each Action and Effect?

Consider:

-Vital Ground

-Key Terrain

-Killing Areas

Sun Tzu probably sa...

Yeungmaidels advance!

If you're not running into tracers, are you even at war?

Render 3 for January is here!

Delivery cage

I also had a think about how the attackers are going to be delivered to the combat area. Initially, I was going to go with them jumping out of a plane or a helicopter into the sea- Thunderball styl...

A fly in the ointment...

There's always a few problems that crop up and need ironing out, and this one is a fairly irritating one, though not insurmountable.

The scuba gear that I liked the look of for the attackers ...

Black Team

I've been beavering away with the attackers too: I've got 19 characters now, which sounds like it won't be enough, but these are just the ones who'll be seen in what I'm thinking of as the 'trainin...

Getting the environment right

So I've been mainly focused on Wood Elves this last month, for obvious reasons. I haven't entirely been idle on the Scuba front though: I'm still working on getting the underwater effects right- I ...

Oops

I have a short attention span, and get distracted easily- which is why my DAZ library is littered with half-finished scenes, and it can be a month or more before I get around to rendering something...

Elves vs Goblins 25-28

Goblin missiles fall thick and fast; With bared teeth, Carys bites back a scream as the wickedly barbed head of one rips through her belly, splashing her precious hot blood over the deforestated gr...

Palace guards

Beerman asked about an alternative view of one of the dead girls in the background of the fight, which was easy to do because I'd lifted her directly from a test render when I was exploring the set...

Elves vs Goblins: 23-24

Their ambush sprung, the Goblin archers crowd onto their rickety fighting platforms and fill the skies with their dark little shafts. The missiles fall like rain; hardly accurate, but a punishing h...

Palace Battle

Here's Week 2's render for January 2025: I promised a bit more FvsF combat around the place, so let's start with this.

Bridge too Far: 51-59

Bridge too Far: 41-50

Still going! The hand-to-hand renders look a little bit stilted now I look back on it.

Bridge too Far: 31-40

At the time, this was also the longest story I'd ever attempted. It felt like I was never going to finish the post-work.
