John Doe Part 3

Stephanie flopped back into her bed and groaned, legs kicking the air as the papers crumpled in her hands in frustration. 

Because as it happened, another eighteen hours thought in the back of her head, had not materialized the solution to this little case, as re-reading the notes so proved.

'Not, that it hasn't been helpful,' she mused, half glaring at the blocky letters.

'Mr Doe, you must have someone looking out for you, cos your insurance provider has...

War of the Dead: Part 1 (The Winds of War Howl)

With the Frostmane settled into their guest quarters, Malakk finds himself caught between old advisors and new, obligation and honor as he seeks a means to fulfill his every duty as an honorable king.

Malakk rarely handled his kingly duties in his throne room, lest it was an emergency, a feast, or he was receiving a guest. 

Today was no different.

Rather than hearing his advisors in the grand and ornate throne room with flowing water running in carved streams a...

Interlude: Gundrak

Perhaps one who had walked the golden halls of Dazar'alor would have at least the faintest idea what it was like to stand within Gundrak. Where every stretch of wall was dominated by sigils, art or gems, statues and carvings of gargantuan proportions watching on as if alive. Ritual fires and glowing crystals filled the dark stone with warmth and light as...

Prologue 3

The festivities greeting had been equal parts staggering and heartening, in Articus’s mind.

Staggering, for seeing so many trolls, let alone one's so powerful and wealthy was in itself intimidating; such massive apartments, wide streets lined with stone monoliths topped with fires that seemed to burn eternally.

It was, in of itself, intimidating.

But so too was it heartening, for even if it was perhaps rooted in pity or even ignorance of what their seeming acceptance into ...

Normal Type Pikachu

So I recently saw an art challenge video by GinjanInaOWO where they did a 'normal type' Pikachu and I really liked the second design and decided to model it and use their art for the textures, barring the eyes for which I used an official Pokemon piece.

Prologue 2

For Arctikus the next few days passed by more as a blizzard than anything else. What time she did not spend among her tribe was spent with Malakk, while they waited on transports and for his speakers to finish treating with the locals.

He was deeply interested in all she and her followers had to say both on their own ways and needs, but also of their enemies, be it their military’s, territory or things like culture and traditions.

Arctikus could not grasp what his intent was on ...

Aftershock: Desert Duel - The Waste Wanderer Yancy

Well, my Kickstarter project is done, the rewards have been sent and the video is published, so I figured I'd share the finished product with everyone!   

Aftershock is an original 3D series with an anime aesthetic that blends Wuxia martial arts with sci-fi tech, created by myself and brought to life with the help of Hey_ItsAnny & iambucketboi:

Veluriya Lujayn - Balcony Set

Veḷuriya, heiress to the Lujayn family fortune takes leave of a party to clear her head, when she is approached by Astra. 

I did a few variations on this looking for the best mix of lighting, shadows and so on.

(She is wearing Astra's military coat in one cos I think that is cute.)

Astra Aurelian Turn Around

Meet my new OC for an original setting I and a few others have been dabbling with, the golden eyed, Master of Arms and a hero of the as of yet unnamed Empire and one of the protagonists of the overarching storyline.

Her design was crafted thanks to the skilled hands of elin-jamie on Tumblr, and I have finally brought her into the third dimension.

Black Bishop

The eldest son of Obsidian King, his primary speaker to the public and often seen as the swiftest of the Shadow Court, Black Bishop is on the surface kinder than his father, but he is loyal to the last and that makes him dangerous.

Obsidian King

An original super 'hero' who acts as a sort of deconstruction of Batman at his worst, Obsidian King trains his kids like soldiers, invades privacy and is brutal to criminals no matter their age or circumstance. 

He is ultimately opposed by the rebellious vigilante Firebrand, who has close ties to the kings daughter, 'Shadow'.

Cypher Contest Submissions

So Bucket Boi is holding a contest and I decided to participate, (https://twitter.com/iambucketboi/status/1344287615860822016) Cypher was too cool not to try and recreate. 

These are my finished renders, uploaded for ease of access. I made use of Miguel Barbosa's toon shader for the textures and the K...

Yang AU Design Chill-Blade

And finished at last! 

 I tried to recreate some Yang poses and catch her general vibes with the poses, while showing off the changes.  

The premise behind this idea is basically that Yang ended up going to Kuo Kuanna with Blake (For reasons) hence no prosthetic & the shift in style.

Yang Alt Design

And with this I think it is done, but I'll look around for some feedback. I utilized my purchased Cel Shader for this piece & have a much better understanding of it now, and I borrowed the ponytail from Dillon Goo's model for expediencies sake but will model one properly next time now that I grasp the fundamentals.
