Screenshots S03E01 (Spoiler Warning)

So fighting off this chest infection, or whatever it is I've been fighting for the past month, working on images and packs, editing etc whilst in discomfort has been difficult. What isn't too bad, is plotting coordinates, moving bones and tweaking meshes, as I can do a bit, over time, and when happy, let it render and I can lay down. So earlier than intended, work has begun on Season 3 of the DJ shorts, and here are some pics to show it off.

This animation is an animated version of the Riot Debut pack voted by you guys, in which he absolutely dominates poor Damian and uses him to his pleasure. The DJU lore around Riot has DMC5 characteristics as it's base (same with all the characters) but he's been depicted as a rampant, savage, violent monster, that'll take what he wants and will do what he wants when he wants. So translating that into animated format has made the animation premise fairly dark. In terms of content it's probably the darkest animation so far, so be warned.

For those not on Discord building the DJU lore, (join in invite link is on the website or link your Discord to Patreon for auto inviting to the VIP lounge!) this debut pack, Damian wasn't a fan, as Riot hurt him and left him barely able to walk after the encounter. This'd lead to Damian's mental breakdown in which he wanted to leave the DJU (where Cal convinced otherwise, linking to the Cal x Damian Mega Set) so to inject that lore into the animation is a fun thing as it makes these two characters jump out, but yeah... Riot wants Damian, regardless of what Damian wants, and you get the idea.

The animation has similar setting, but when the pack was created, there was no animation in mind, and so the set has been revisited, retextured with higher resolution maps, better lighting, and the set expanded thanks to one of the "Kitbash3D" kits I got to turn the repurposed RE2 Orphanage into a Gotham Ironworks as it's now the front house of a refinery. (Rather than some random abandoned building in the original pack) Also with the new PC, there is an actual city scape of Gotham in it, rather than an image background as the beast is happy to render all these polygons whereas the old one woulda blue screened; so there is lots going on, keep your eye out for blink and miss cameos!

Lastly, for dramatic flare, the environment is going to be a malevolent character in itself, as a torrential storm has descended upon Gotham, just in time for Riot to tie the knot! The animation starts inside the Ironworks before it'll eventually move outside as a soaking wet and injured Damian, is bred by Riot as he tries to escape!

The models for both Riot and Damian have been updated especially for the animation thanks to CyrusTails.
