Public Service Announcement #4

As you endure the weeks of forced isolation imposed by the shelter at home order and begin to feel an urge to strip off your clothing and rush outdoors into the fresh air, do not assume that you are merely suffering from cabin fever. The urge to go out in public naked is one of the more perverse symptoms of Medusid-20! Epidemiologists believe that the virus instills this impulse in the infected to help ensure it is spread to other potential victims.

The desire to expose yourself in publ...

Public Service Announcement #3

Be wary of alternative medicine treatments for the Medusavirus! The homeopathic cures for Medusid-20 that turn up in your internet search results are more likely to make you sick than they are to control the progression of the virus. They might even accelerate its progress! If you believe you are infected with Medusid-20, seek treatment only from qualified medical professionals!

Mysterious Strangers

Who are they? What do they want?

Diane had opted to talk to the gorgon instead of following Reiko's plan, but the negotiation took an unexpected turn when the gorgon decided to take more of a hands-on approach to diplomacy.

(Based on the poll results, it seems that many of you are grudgingly accepting of Euryale 2.0, but are not convinced that she is up to the job. Well, to help win you all over, here's another image of her in her new role!)

Euryale 2.0

The model I had been using for Euryale is an older generation Daz3d character, designed to work with an earlier rendering engine. I decided to upgrade her so that she looks better when rendered with the new engine, and also so that I can take advantage of the extensive library of clothing and hair props I ha...

Digital Damsel - Chapter 14, Part 1

Diane’s new mistress, the ninja warrior Reiko, had accepted the quest to recover Queen Ysabeau’s mortal remains. Doing so had put the duo on a collision course with a young gorgon who had taken up residence in Lyonne’s sewers, and who apparently had Ysabeau’s skull in her possession. Accepting the quest also resulted in Ysabeau taking up residence as a psychic passenger inside Diane’s head, although so far Reiko was unaware of that little detail.

Reiko’s battle ...
