Peril Pinup - December 2021, Part 1
I am afraid that I have fallen behind schedule, owing in part to holiday festivities. As a consequence, I am not quite finished with the December Peril Pinup. I decided to upload the first half so that you all have something to peruse while I wrap up the rest of the story.
I hope you enjoy it - and offer my apologies for the delay!
2022-01-01 06:09:50 +0000 UTC View PostBehind the Scenes: Height and Scale
Most of the models I use for my artwork come from the company Daz3d, which also created the rendering program I use. Some of the models are created by 3d modelers who work for Daz3d, while others are made by independent content creators who sell their work through the Daz3d store.
When I am working with models made by independent creators, I often encounter issues with the model's height and body proportions. The default model size for Daz3d core models (e.g., Genesis 3 Female, Genesis ...

The supervillain who styles herself the "Grim Gargoyle" sent a personalized Christmas card to her friends and associates. Somehow, one ended up in my mailbox. Imagine that! I decided to share it with you lovely folks.
Have a very Merry Christmas!

An ancient oath bound Halie to serve Euryale, the second eldest of the Gorgon sisters. The oath was a consequence of some debt owed by Halie's father, the god Nereus, to the god Phorcys, who happened to be the father of the Gorgons. Halie didn't consider it to be particularly fair that her servitude was the medium used to repay her father's debt, but she hadn't been given any say in the matter.
Halie had to concede that her servitude wasn't horrible. She did have a lot of free time, rel...

Meet Celeste, the protagonist of this month's Peril Pinup.
(Creating this relatively simple image to test room lighting proved to be more of a chore than I was expecting! Celeste's skin was rendering as orange instead of the warm brown tone I had carefully crafted for her. After meddling with the lights and her skin shaders, I discovered that the problem was on a render parameter tab for the camera. For some reason, the content creator who made the room changed a few settings there;...

Infiltrating a Gorgon's lair is dangerous business - especially if you don't KNOW it's a Gorgon's lair!
(As I worked on the Black Widows image series I got a bit carried away, and realized that I had enough material to make it a Peril Pinup. So that's what I did!)

"Hello, Persephone," said the newcomer as she entered the interview room. "I am Dr. Georgia Hwang."
Persie looked her up and down and frowned. "What are you, some kind of shrink?"
Hwang nodded. "I am a psychologist, yes. Technically, I am with the FBI, but I confer with the NYPD on special cases."
The girl barked a sharp laugh. "'Special' being a cute code word for 'nuts.'"
Hwang's brow furrowed. "You have made some rather extraordinary claims, Persephone. Detectives B...

(I sincerely apologize for the long delay. I ran into some unforeseen technical issues that forced me to rethink the last set of images. I hope you enjoy the final result! As soon as I finish a couple other projects in my queue, I will render some additional 'epilogue' images from Crystal's collection!)

"Hey! Wait up!"
Belinda stopped and glanced back over her shoulder. A jogger was running toward her. She looked around, but there was no one else in sight. "Were you talking to me?" she asked.
"Yes, I was," the woman confirmed as she came a halt beside Belinda. "I was just going to say, you look pretty fit! Do you work out?"
"Oh, umm... yeah," Belinda replied hesitantly. "I jog in the mornings, and hit the gym a couple times a week."

A stylishly-dressed young woman is out for a stroll on a perfectly safe public street. She seems to be enjoying the summer weather. I have no idea why she looks worried in the second image. Nothing bad is going to happen to her.
Absolutely nothing.
So don't bother making evil suggestions in the comments for bad things to happen to her.
Just don't do it.
Don't!

Detectives Benton and Gabler of the Unconventional Victims Unit brought their suspect - technically, a "person of interest" at that point - back to the squad room for questioning. The name on her driver's license turned up a criminal record. They put her in one of the interrogation rooms and made her sweat while they looked through her file.
"Persephone Jackson," Benton read from the printout. "And you go by Persie."
The young woman scowled. "My friends call me that. You are...

The statue of another missing woman was found in Central Park.
Unconventional Victims Unit Detective Ellen Gabler finished conferring with one of the crime scene techs and approached her partner, Detective Cynthia Benton. "The Sculptor's getting ballsy," Gabler pronounced as she surveyed the crime scene. Her gaze lingered on a crowd of bystanders who were watching the CSU team at work. "This path gets a lot of traffic."
"Yet somebody was able to haul a statue through the park and ...

Charlotte wasn't going to let Veronique's drunk ex show her up! She was really keen to make a good impression on her sultry, enigmatic date, so she decided to call Jay's bluff. At least, Charlotte hoped Jay was bluffing. She really had no idea what sort of 'test' the girl had in mind.

That's a screenshot of one of my characters in Elder Scrolls Online, playing through the finale of the Morrowind story arc yesterday. As I was running through the scripted scene, I kept admiring the bronze patina on that statue of Vivec in the background, thinking to myself, "Damn... I need to find a way to recreate that material in Daz3d so I can use it in my petrification art!"
Yeah, I'm weird ;)

Markéta gasped as a bright flash of light blinded her, accompanied by a sudden sensation of vertigo.
She blinked away the spots in front of her eyes and looked around in surprise. Where in the world was she? A moment ago, she was in her bedroom in the city, getting ready for a night on the town. Now she was in a clearing in the middle of a forest, kilometers away from civilization. At least, that was what Markéta assumed. She could not see the any buildings over the tree tops. 2021-05-28 22:18:36 +0000 UTC View Post
