The Winter War: Part 6 - The Golden Spinning Wheel

Nazgrel did not like Silverpine, even with shamans keeping the muck and mist away it was too dim and dank, oddly lifeless and closed in. Snow was thicker the deeper they went, and roads had to be cleared by armored rhino stomping at the front of the legions as they trailed behind in a great column that stretched for what felt like ages.

Xex’Mon rode at the front and the sounds of a clipped exchange hit Nazgrel’s ears, compelling him to urge his raptor forward.

“We shoulda se...

An Abridged History of the Drakkari Empire & the Grizzlemaw Nation ​

The imperious Furbolg guardian's tone was rough and weighty, the age of history, heavy on her broad shoulders.

"You, your traders and guests may pass, but let them speak no word of the Drakkari in our lands or suffer the consequences."

Only some hours later, well away from the towering totem poles as ...

Spiritual Speculation (Side Story)

Spiritual Speculation
A collection of conversations scattered across the war that could not be contained within chaptered works.

Sally Whitemane rankled at being called to attend the savages king, for if she let herself fear what he might do with her she may well misstep and damn herself further.

Outside Northport, his massive tent, a yurt they called it, stood like a small fort. With nearly solid walls of soft but sturdy materials with a...

The Winter War: Part 5 - Perilous Politics

Jessi Falrevere watched the mounting political play with no small amount of wariness. House Ashvane's silent backing was not guaranteed after all, but her father carried on without a care. 

"We have sunk ships of theirs, Daelin, these trolls are not the gods of the sea you feared, yet you still withdraw our f...

Ran Completed: The Fera Collective

I'm deciding to cap this little experiment off here, I am quite pleased with he results, but need to focus on other matters and this seems like a good stopping point. I am very pleased with the new fur shader I have purchased, it will take just a bit more tweaking to include patters along the framework and it shall be golden. 

Ran - Bust (Grey-Scale) 2 Options

I nixed the right most design and decided I felt these two work as good bases for Fera in general and approached them with that in mind. 

I now need to work on the manes, which will be tricky. I purchased a fur shader, but I find it rather too intense for the characters, so I took some of the detailing off. 

Ran - Bust (Grey-Scale) 3 Options

So I am trying to do a bust model of Ran, a character from Aftershock, she's a 'Fera' and trying to convey that in 3D can be tricky. (I included the initial reference to) 

Does anyone have a preference? Left, middle or right? 

Pyrite (Turn Around)

Pyrite (Complete)

Pyrite is finished! 

I feel something is a bit off with the textures, but I have a new hair modelling technique which is nifty. 

Pyrite #2

This is the early stages of a new 3D model, an OC of mine, Pyrite; now with clothes and hair. 

Pyrite Grey-Base

This is the early stages of a new 3D model, an OC of mine, Pyrite.

Luteu (RWBY OC) - 2

OK almost ready to rig! 

Luteu (RWBY OC)

I got chatting with a friend about an OC for an AU we were tinkering with and I decided I had to model her. 

I'm taking inspiration from that 3D Animated film The Donkey King, specifically Miss Fitna cos I thought her outfit was cool. 

Still tryna get a handle on this new hair shader. 

The Invasion of Rohk'aka - Epilogue

A dozen images, a hundred whispers and a thousand thoughts vanquished in an instant with the cracking of glass. 

Demetria's lips thinned as she gazed upon the results of her handiwork, 'My lord gifted that to me, I am loathed to waste such gifts.' 

But it couldn't be helped, the creatures had seen to that and now she must see to her duties, no matter their ill tidi...

Aqua: Final

Aqua is finally done! 

I am gonna have to get a different or the more advances rigging add-on though if I wanna do facial expressions but still, pretty pleased with this. 

I looked up a bunch of 'femme fatale' pictures for pose reference, for various reasons. 

Aqua #3

Done her weapons and refined her hair, I wanted to rig her but the ridiculous addon isn't working for some reason so I need to fix it XD 

Aqua Update #3

Finally ready to rig I think. 

Aqua Update #2

Getting close to done, wooh! 

Aqua OC

This is Aqua, an OC of mine I had art commissioned for to use as reference for when modelling. 

She's not finished yet but I am comfortable showing where I am currently. 

The Invasion of Rohk'aka Part 4 (Kings Clash - Part 2)​

Arctikus looked to the capital city with a fierce scowl. The shining white towers and high walls casting her mind back to stories told of her ancestor’s kingdom before the Dwarves cast them down, driving them into the mountain crags.

‘First we crush your allies, Ironforge, and then we come for you,’ she promised. The image of her son’s mangled body and severed head flashing in her mind, making her draw back and hiss.

Running her hand through her white mane, she fo...

Interlude: Moments in War

Burx hadn’t had an easy life.

Plucked from obscurity in the camps and kept by the Agamand as something between a guard dog and be-loathed pet.

His name had been ‘berk’, an insult he found out from his brief passing’s between the house and the labor camp where a kindly old orc whispered to him the secrets of their ton...

Minor Update

So things have calmed down a bit and the weather is significantly less nightmarish for a couple of days so I have managed to record the two currently listed episodes and will try and get them out in good order.
