amoureuse

nue mon amoureuse danse autour de ses robes
choisissant celle qui dans l'été la fleurira
elle chantonne sans presque me voir
hésite encore entre les étoffes
un sourire aux lèvres
mon désir sur ses gestes la caresse

ai-je gouté sa hanche fruitée d'un peu trop près
la voila vive gainée de coton
la chanson finie
une moue malicieuse qui disait non.

Summoning Calice

Greg recently brough Calice back to my attention. Remember her ? here:


The thing is, last Spring i did a big clean up of my stuff. Big clean up for messy guys like me means Tabula Rasa, everything went to the big empty. I've rebuilt my runtime which is now as messy as it was in Spring, so i feel at home.
Rebuilding Calice i realize i'm missing some key ingredients, namely her wings & her tail. I know those came from 2 different v4 products, the wings were with a long dress, the tail was probably a character. Can put my hand on them. They are somewhere in the attic but without there proper names, its the proverbial needle in a stack of needles.
So if you want to help me summon her again, find the names of those 2 products !

meanwhile, from the abyss, she calls to you:


She's using g2f figure & there are some geografted tails & wings (succubus add-on) that do look cool but i dont like the way they use geometry shell on top of the model. May end up using them as last resort tho.

UPDATE:
+ found the wings ! the belong to Erishkigal (by Bobbie25 & Maveris). no link to dazstore tho, seems defunct; but doc page still up.

Cyprine reincarnated

So, i was about to work on this project we're cookin on with a friend, a project that you will soon read more about and peek at - and then, as it often happens, i did something something completly different.
A few month ago i tried to convert the g2f model of Cyprine to g3f and i was very unsatisfied with the result: the geometry & morphs around the eyes were broken, the skin wasnt what i wanted... I had another go today, using different methods than the previous time and i am rather pleased with her - for the moment...

btw, anyone can guess what poster is hung above the bed ?


Lets summarize:
+ something is already done for Xmas & its for a good cause. More about that when its made official.
+ the table top serie is progressing and will be out at the end of January
+ the collaboration is just starting but it should be a quick job (until i get distracted so many other stuff).

are not forgotten:
+ Faunette and her adventures in mythic greece.
+ Aleteia P.I. and her Twilight Zone-ish adventures.
+ UE4 is not forgotten but on hold... day are too short & i'd need an extra brain or two to digest the workings of the beast.
+ memories from the trek are nagging me too. I like the idea of expending the girls narrative.

and there is still Fallout 4 to play ! speaking of which...

Wasteland



The appeal of the Fallout narrative may very well be resumed here in an excerpt from Zizeks Pervert's guide to ideology.

Beats the Darkness


The obscurantist shed blood in the City of Light.
Reason is despicable to them. The candle light of reason in this demon haunted world. Together we'll stand, keep the flame bare, alight, alive, naked, beating the darkness.

Fails

So i'm working on this project, set up the idea, render till dawn, get a nap. Upon reviewing the renders, i realize they are far too dark - no worries right, i can pull the save & change the settings (i dont touch photoshop). But of course, my saves werent the final versions of each render, just some early stage of the composition - when i remembered that the save button existed.
The work aint really lost, and you get to see the failed ones, lucky you; but all in all, i'm glad to be able to reshape the begining of the serie (10-15 img)




New layout & Fuseli

these pages are getting dusty so i'm trying something different now, with words in it, and misspelling an' all. The calendar is busy busy with that pnp image set due for december 15th, another side project (hush hush) also programmed for december, and Fallout 4 soon to be released *sight* there is not enough daylight + starlight for me to do all i want. Speaking of the next set, i wanted to mimic a famous painting, The Nightmare, i'm pretty sure everyone has *seen it somewhere*:


go and have a look at Henry Fuseli's other works, this 1700's painter inspired generations of illustrators for sure.

back home


Time

Disciple has never been my strong suit, and as messy as i like to be, things need to be done. Here is a time table i fixed for myself. Its now my desktop wallpaper, just in case i forget.

CnA refers to Cyprine and Ardente series.
Fau refers to the Faunette, mythic greece setting development.
UE4 refers to my learning that monster Unreal Engine 4.
Exp refers to experimenting time.

the symbols below are Deviant Art (monday, thursday), Tumbler (tuesday, friday), and Patreon exclusives (wednesday, saturday).
i also post those on blogspot, pixiv, renderotica & affect3d.

As you can see, its a full time job !
