[ART] #8/10: You Ready for This?

2012-02-01T11:07:00.000-07:00

Title: You Ready for This?
Fandom: FF7, Yu-Gi-Oh
Characters: Cloud, Amelda
Rating: PG (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Those trousers are a little translucent, but you have to really be looking to notice.
Notes: For Sargantas. The 'Grey Angel' and the 'Red Devil' appear on stage, ready to start their act. Catfights and piles of clothing to ensue, shortly. (Also, why didn't anyone remind me it's 2012 and not 2011? I'll be replacing the other four images with properly dated ones, shortly.)

[ART] Have Another

2012-01-31T09:44:00.000-07:00

Title: Have Another
Fandom: Viridian Legacy: Glass
Characters: Baron, Arkady
Rating: PG (L0 N1 S0 V0 D1)
Warnings: Drunken stumbling
Notes: Baron and Arkady, after a few too many, but not quite enough. (Yes, I'm still working on my commission queue. I just needed to do something easy, in between bouts of cursing about the lights.)

Rating: PG (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: None
Notes: For Sargantas. Amelda in most of his Red Devil outfit, inviting in his guest...

[ART] #4/10: Take, Take, Take

2012-01-29T16:06:00.001-07:00

Title: Take, Take, Take
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh, Lost Souls
Characters: Amelda (Alister), Zillah
Rating: NC-17 (L0 N4 S4 V0 D0)
Warnings: It's porn. No, really.
Notes: For Sargantas. Part of this epic frickin' commission, OMG. There was some debate about the second party, but I think that Zillah was an outstanding choice, in the end. I've been trying to light this scene for the last nine hours. I think it's close enough.

[ART] #1/10: The Angel's Welcome

2012-01-29T09:13:00.000-07:00

Title: The Angel's Welcome
Fandom: FF7
Characters: Cloud
Rating: PG (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: None
Notes: So, I learned to use dynamic cloth, finally. I've had the plugin since before I replaced most of my computer, last year, but on the older hardware, it never worked -- just crashed the program. Now? Well, as long as I set the collisions in a sensible fashion, it works just fine. Why does this matter? The clothing in this image for Sargantas is dynamic, and I think it looks pretty good.

[ART] #3/10: Hold On Tighter

2012-01-28T11:38:00.000-07:00

Title: Hold On Tighter
Fandom: FF7, Lost Souls
Characters: Cloud, Molochai
Rating: NC-17 (L0 N4 S4 V0 D0)
Warnings: Buttsex.
Notes: No, these are not in order. I just happen to have done the third one first. Part of a ten-part commission for Sargantas. Still working... No, really...

[ART] Breathe the Magic

2012-01-26T07:20:00.000-07:00

Title: Breathe the Magic
Fandom: N/A
Characters: KusacWolf
Rating: R (L0 N3 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Naked spellcasting dragon/wolf anthro
Notes: I'm not entirely happy with how this came out, but for some reason, the save file for it became corrupted, so I can't actually preview any of the lights. It's like carving fine wood figurines with a stickpin, in the dark. So, yeah, the lighting is kind of crap. I know that, but after five hours trying to light the scene with no preview of the lights? I can't care any more.

[ART] Cloud (Test Frame)

2012-01-25T15:07:00.001-07:00

Title: Cloud (Test Frame)
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Characters: Cloud
Rating: PG (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: None
Notes: Another one for Sargantas. Part of the commission that also includes Amelda. *points to the previous post* Nope, haven't forgotten I've got a queue.

[ART] Amelda (Alister) Test Frame

2012-01-25T04:32:00.000-07:00

Title: Amelda (Alister) Test Frame
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh
Characters: Amelda (Alister)
Rating: PG (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: None
Notes: I'm waiting on one last response before I do the final image for the other commission that I've been sitting on for two weeks, so, in the mean time, here's a test frame for a request that's sitting in my inbox. I don't know the series; I don't know the character; I just got one smutty fan-art reference image and a request. Three hair props, ladies and gents. THREE. (And none of them originally intended for use on this base model.) Y SO COMPLICATED, ANIME HAIR?

[ART] KusacWolf (Test Frame)

2012-01-18T06:30:00.003-07:00

Title: KusacWolf (Test Frame)
Fandom: N/A
Characters: KusacWolf
Rating: PG (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Anthro wolf/dragon
Notes: I'm ... about eighteen and a half hours into the textures on this commission. Four of six are done, and none of the displacement maps. If anyone was wondering why I've been considering raising my commission prices? This would be why. Seriously considering a texture surcharge, so I can get my hourly up over $1 on jobs like this one.

[ART] A Vision of Contentment

2012-01-18T02:34:00.002-07:00

Title: A Vision of Contentment
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Dark, Frost, Ice
Rating: R (L0 N3 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Naked guys, shitty lighting
Notes: Lest you think I've not been heeding the votes, here's some more Dark and Frost, with a bit of Ice, because I've not done enough with all three of them. Also, half of this is post-work, because the damn computer froze and trashed the scene. *laughs*

[ART] The Glass is Not Empty

2012-01-15T17:43:00.000-07:00

Title: The Glass is Not Empty
Fandom: Viridian Legacy: Glass
Characters: Sebastian, Sin
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: None
Notes: Sebastian and Sin, in their college days. I'm pretty sure Sebastian's complaining that everyone's a prick, and Sin... well, he's always amused at the near-constant stream of misanthropy from Sebastian.

[ART] Alchemical Romance

2012-01-15T03:17:00.001-07:00

Title: Alchemical Romance
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Noctis, Artemisia
Rating: R (L0 N3 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Naked alchemical golem in both genders
Notes: So, after totally failing to finish -two- fics I started this week, I've put them aside and thrown this thing together. After getting Nox in his plague doctor robes, I just had to go somewhere with that. So, here's his golem assistant, Artemisia (which was a perfectly appropriate name for the time and place. Two queens and a painter that I can name off the top of my head, across a span of nearly a millennium.)

[ART] Plague Doctor

Title: Plague Doctor
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Noctis
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)

Title: The End of the Road to God Knows Where
Fandom: Magelight
Characters: Dark, Yaz
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Crappy texturing, questionable use of non-posable clothing
Notes: This was a fucking nightmare to texture. The brass bits of the motorcycle? Those are one material zone. With no base texture and no template. Yaz's jacket started out as puke-green and his boots were black and silver. *laughs* Anyway, Dark and Yaz bonding over a bike, in slightly modified pinup poses.

Fandom: Magelight (Fires of Albion)
Characters: Giddy, Bitty

Fandom: N/A
Characters: some fop
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Kind of crap lights.
Notes: I don't even know. I was looking at the Versailles Tail, and I thought, 'Oh, hey, I bet I've got something I could do with that...' *coughs* So, yeah, here's this. Done in a couple hours of mostly not paying attention while I was reading Miss Maggie Mayhem, who is really pretty effing entertaining.

Title: Drink From My Glass
Fandom: Viridian Legacy: Glass
Characters: Betty, Arkady
Rating: R (L3 N0 S0 V0 D2)
Warnings: Expletives, explicit illness
Notes: So, not like I needed an excuse to inflict more hell on Arkady, but having been sick since before Christmas kind of makes me think I should.

Title: Bird of Paradise
Fandom: N/A
Characters: some guy with wings
Rating: PG (L0 N1 S0 V0 D0)

Characters: Dark
Rating: R (L0 N3 S0 V0 D1)
Warnings: Naked dude with a hookah?
Notes: I was working on something entirely else, I swear, and then I just got so frustrated I needed to throw down something quick and pretty. So, here's Dark, looking a hell of a lot happier than he tends to.

Title: Glimmer
Fandom: Viridian Legacy: Glass
Characters: Arkady, Baron
Rating: G (L0 N0 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: None, really...
Notes: So, I got off my lazy and shot a frame for the book. *gasp* Yeah, that book I'm supposed to be writing, instead of twiddling my thumbs and making arty crap... Anyway, this is the image for Making Mouths.
