Toy Soldier Kelsey

Sailor Dolly

Two if by sea!

Just a cute new outfit I found. Which then triggered the idea of toy soldiers for land, sea and air.

Toy Soldier Pilots

After getting a new sailor girl outfit, the idea of toy soldiers on land, sea and air popped into my head and wouldn't leave until I finished this. I have a few different options for outfit styles, which do you all prefer? 

Green Army Men, a Spell Gone Wrong

This is why you always want to make sure you know the full effect of the spell you are casting. Poor mark didn't realize that the spell he used had a mental component. Hopefully he can focus long enough to turn him and Amber back to normal, or else they might be spending a long time in the toy box. 

We can do it!

I had to go back and edit the poster to give it the appropriate yellow background and fix the text to match.  

We want YOU to become a Bettybot

just playing around with some editing of my renders for the Battle Betty bots. I was inspired by the old wartime posters and wanted to try putting a retro-futuristic twist on them. 

Battle Betty Test Renders

So, I love the 1950s style. I think if you're familiar with my work you'll know that. And applying that to futuristic elements creates this retro-futurism style that just makes my brain purr with happiness.

My Brain started piecing together the idea of an alternate universe in which the post-war 1050s style never went out of style. A fallout without the fallout, if you would. This led to the idea of the world being threatened by an alien race and volunteers needing to step forward to ...

Unicycle toy 03

Frames 1-180! Slowly it's growing!

Unicycle animation pt2

120 frames now. I e completely rebuild the cycling animation and redone the math to make it much easier to set up. This is allowing me to make larger animation with less direct intervention on every single detail. As I put it earlier on my server:

“I’m doing math now to end the need to do math later!”

But that’s actually a lie. Because not doing math on the main character just lets me set up more characters in the background… stay tuned for part 3.

Toy on a unicycle 01

Ten and a half hours for sixty frames of animation at 1200x900 pixels. Heavy but doable. This is the first part.

Class is in!

Sit. Down. And. Ready. Your. Minds. I. Will. Teach. You. All. How. To. Be. Good. Toys!

Winding up in school.

A few of the raw images for a fun idea about getting turned into a windup professor. Then I had the idea of the professor the. Turning the students into toys themselves….

Windup wife, windup life

The trials of having your S.O. Be turned into a windup doll… on one hand they are always chipper, cheerful, and happy. On the other… they do tend to make a mess when they wind down.

Windup housewife.

Hello. Sweetie. I. Made. You. Some. Dinner!

Toy Soldier animation lighting test

Gee, don't you normally do lighting tests before you try rendering the entire thing in full scale?

... yes....

A smaller 400x400 version of the earlier animation testing out the reduced lighting.

Toy Soldier POV 1-36

I tried rendering this in 2000x1600 frames... that might be a bit ambitious as it took 9 hours for just these 36 frames...

Painting a miniature: frames 1-180

The first 180 frames of the painting a miniature animation. make sure to watch in full quality to see the eyes shifting. 

Also, it turns out that daz renders a lot more quickly when its not trying to draw two things existing in the same place at once. It still was 15 hours for the full 180 frames. 

*Bows on her GPU* Please don't melt, please dont melt!

The first 60 frames of animation for a fun idea of painting miniatures. Rendered in 1500x1125 pixels. I wanted it to be large enough to clearly see my eyes darting back and forth in panic. 

PS... it is only now that I see the issue with the table texture, I have no idea why its doing that, and I'm trying not to be discouraged that 9 hours of rendering time went down the drain. 

Unit Ruby

These are just some test renders for the form i was putting together. I was inspired by re-reading the story by Dkfinger in which a character based off myself is turned into a robot and puppeted on stage. Very fun, very yummy. I was trying to see what I could to to match the description and this is what resulted. I think the image with the red and silver reversed is my favorite by far and almost makes the robot look like it's wearing a bikini. 

Miniature (sexy) toy soldier.

Tim never specified what kind of toy soldier I was going to be. I think he might enjoy this one. 

*Turns Kelsey into a miniature toy soldier*

The other day I really didn't want to be at work for the third day in a row. Tim made a funny comment that both got me to smile and then got me planning a little twist to something I've been working on. 

Quick animation: Jester pop

So, I couldn't sleep the other night, and I was struck with the idea of trying to animate the part where the box pops open and the doll falls forward before slowing to a stop, this was a quick and fast take on trying to do that.

When I get more time I'll have to revisit this and make the wobble more dramatic, and make sure my head sIit phasing through the rear of the box :P

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Redux

A second version of the earlier picture. The game and rules remain the same. Pick the correct toy and Kelsey goes free, pick wrong and she remains trapped for eternity.

And if you pick wrong you may end up as another decoy. Just another kelsey-doll trapped and hoping to be free.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

So, anyone who knows me will know that I point to Chitty Chitty bang Bang as one of the things that truly got me interested in transformation. Between the jack in the boxes, the music box doll and the puppet there's an entire host of toy-themed transformation ideas just sitting there. And don't even get me started on the Doll on a music box lyrics. She's literally singing out the fact she's been transformed into a doll and only needs a kiss to be free, but whoever would fall in love with a si...

Puppet Jester (fixed) ((again))

So, i still wasn't happy with the lighting in the last image and spent a few minutes before bed fixing the lighting. This time i made sure it was bright enough to actually see the puppet. I also added some detail to the box. 

Puppet jester fixed.

I made a few adjustments to the pose, fixed the lighting, and increased the hands to make it look like it's almost big plushy hands. 

Puppet in a box (test)

So this is a wip pic of the jester outfit in a post inspired by the rag doll from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I didn't adjust the lighting and its way too dark. 

Cryptech the action figure

I have been loving ELr Fresho and Colorfultrick's work on the story where a girl gets turned into an action figure, and I realized that with a few plastic shaders Cryptech isn't that far off at all...

DoLLs transformed into Mind Controlled Poppets

This is from a few years ago, based off the work of Hypnovoyer in which the rookie team seems to have been transformed into mindless scarecrow/poppets. 

Spooky Season is Upon Us.

The air is growing cooler, the nights come earlier, and the leaves have begun to change colors....

And I have my computer back up and running!  

This fall I have a lot I want to do. Finish some commissions, a few fun ideas for the DoLLs, and possibly start my Scoped Comic. Beyond that I am interested to know if any of my watchers have fun Halloween TFs they would like to see.

Reduction will see you now…

So this is an animation depicting my version of reduction. Which I describe as someone who looks almost as a toy themselves but the longer you look the more ‘wrong’ it becomes.

Im interested for my followers, if you were the avatar of reduction. What would you want to turn everyone into? How do you personally see the aspect of reduction?
