USS Archer: The Animated Series - Part Two

Well, the first episode got 20 likes, so I went and did a second! To get just 2 minutes 15 seconds of tightly-edited video it's been several days of, honestly, obsessive work - so I hope you like the results. My software proficiency and techniques have developed since the first one, so this one now has four layered audio tracks plus some nice SFX.

A lot of this was very challenging to animate, particularly the scenes with multiple characters and a lot going on. My prompt-writing sk...

USS Archer: The Animated Series - Part One

It has always been my dream to make a movie.

One year ago I was working on my longest and most ambitious Daz Studio project: USS Archer. It features all of my characters, transformed into an all-female crew on a Constellation Class starship. The story is 110 images, available in full here on Patreon. Very recently I had the idea to try and animate it. The animation capabilties of Daz Studio 4 are incredibly slow and limited; however new technology has made it possible to give my s...

Space Girls Captured! - #2

As promised, more renders of Jennifer and Amanda's tranquilizer takedown.

With so many darts they'll be napping for a good while before their interrogation. I wonder what the guards have planned for them next?

Let me know if you'd like to see a continuation... I am thinking a carry scene should follow :-)

Space Girls Captured! - #1

Guard 1: “Remember the briefing? They were going to change the galaxy.”
Guard 2: “Galaxy seems fine. They’re the ones who changed.”
Guard 1: “From bold initiative to nap initiative. Girl-bossing is over for today.”
Guard 2: “Dreamshift accomplished, objectives pending.”

Space Commander Amanda

So, I was playing with the Space Girl outfit and wondering whether it would 'suit' any of the other cast members. Not just that, but the scenarios I was trying out for Jennifer kind of worked better if she had a colleague. Then I was missing Amanda so much and I thought 'why not'?

Amanda IV lends herself really well to sci-fi roles with this Star Trek hairstyle. I immediately loved the result, and so here we are - Space Commander Amanda!

She's oozing with class and confidence. It ...

Jennifer's Space Girl Modelling Shoot

Before she sets out on a perilous mission, I wanted to showcase Space Girl Jennifer and her kit. We've come a long way since the early days of Daz Studio 3 and Victoria 4. But the outfit is essentially the same. I haven't re-used anything from the Blue Angel outfit - this is a lovely new bodysuit model with wrinkles. I spent quite a while making the velvet gloves and disco boots. Jennifer has a cool space pilot helmet but if - by any chance - she should take it off (or it falls off) then...

Space Girl Jennifer is suited up!

In the locker room on some futuristic space station, a rookie pilot is ready for her mission. She brims with confidence and naivety.

Thanks all for your patience during my two week absence. That's it now - no more holidays until November!

The OG's among you may remember a character I made in the extremely early days of deviantART simply called 'Space Girl'. She was based entirely on a photoset from the long-defunct website 2025-08-14 23:08:19 +0000 UTC View Post

Ciara vs Anubis - #3 (8k)

This proved to be an unexpectedly popular mini-series (if comments and likes are anything to go on), so I thought I would do a little continuation with Ciara being carried away, by her new furry friend, to an uncertain fate.

Is she even still alive, and if so, for how long? Is Anubis taking her to the underworld? Will she be turned into a mummy, like in her nightmare? Is this just another nightmare? Is Amanda looking for her nearby? Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for bea...

Ciara vs Anubis - #2 (8k)

Thanks for your patience while I was away on holiday last week. I am sure you were waiting to see whether poor Ciara would escape Anubis.

I am sorry to say that she did not escape.

Ciara vs Anubis - #1 (8k)

Dear oh dear Ciara, your trusty Colt .45 is no match for a GOD!

Anubis is the Ancient Egyptian God of funerary rites, the protector of graves, and guide to the underworld. It was inevitable that Ciara would run into him at some point, with all her poking around tombs, uninvited. Let's hope that he doesn't guide her into the underworld!

It's ages since I got this Anubis model from the DAZ store, and I have been dying to introduce him to...

Ciara Restyle - Studio Shoot #3

Did you miss it? I've used Ciara's 'old' hairstyle here for the final part of her outfit showcase. I'm really interested to see now how you feel about this one versus the two options on the new one (with/without bangs).

The first outfit we see here is from Ciara's future, post college, where she becomes Detective Ciara. We've seen her getting taped up in this sleek retro outfit, and I know it's a favourite of our guest artist.

The final four shots are a roundup of Ciara's other...

Ciara Restyle - Studio Shoot #2

The bangs are back! This is still Ciara's 'new' hairdo, but I took your feedback on board that the tightly-pulled-back look was a little severe, and lost her something that the 'old' hair did well.

Ciara's Desert Outfit is her other well-known one, as she wore it in her debut feature-length story Ciara's Egyptian Nightmare, which you can still find in its entirety on my deviantART page. I am sure you know where to look, but just in just you don't, it's here:

Ciara Restyle - Studio Shoot #1

One of the things that I really noticed during the recent USS Archer story was the strength of affection for Ciara. I totally get that some people prefer a heroine who has an element of badass to her. This Irish-Italian beauty is often the one responsible for getting Amanda out of trouble, but she has two major flaws: she doesn't understand the limits of her capabilties, and she has a tendency to start adventures dressed completely impractically for the environments she's about to enter. Thes...

Amanda's Padme Cosplay (just for fun)

I was just looking through my Amanda IV folder and realised I had these, and never developed the idea further.

Remember when Amanda III got to be Princess Amanda?

A few months ago, one of my subscribers suggested Star Wars Prequels as a possible cosplay idea (since we did so much on the OTHER sci-fi franchise). I developed my own take on what an Amanda Jedi might look like, based hugely on Natalie Portman. The outfit is not meant to be precise, just influenced by her, with my (and...

Amanda Mini Update

This is turning out to be a very busy month (just not in 3D world!), and now I have to go travelling again. I got together with Amanda at the weekend and was hoping to generate a bunch of Spring outfits. I started with this formal one, and didn't get any further. :-)

Hope you like, and back in a few days with more.

Carry Pack Showcase #4 - (the final nine renders)

I wanted to post the final burst of five carry pictures before the close of the month, but I found it was up to nine requests :-) I suppose I am just in time...

Thanks for all the requests and for giving me the opportunity to promote the pack, and thanks especially to those of you who bought the pack.

So, in order of the requests received:

DirZ - requested Katherina in Office Wear, in Pose 6 (this is a popular one!) so I sent the kidnapper to go pic...

Carry Pack Showcase #3

Yes! More carries!

I am trying to get through everyone's requests, as this is a guilty pleasure being able to just pump out studio shots and focus on making the pose and characters perfect rather than juggling with lights, props and storyline...

Rivera - initially requested Amanda in Pose 16, but since I did that one twice already he switched it up to Pose 3. Here she is with a quite horrible flesh-eating ghoul. I wish I could say she's going to be alright, but I'm not ...

Carry Pack Showcase #2

After the glut of cradle carries we had in the first instalment, the next five requests were somewhat less gentle in nature!

Jimmiepage - requested Office Penelope in Pose 16. This was later requested by Ulfberth Cat, just proving you don't read each other's comments :-) Redback was on hand to carry her away.

Seven - also wanted Spider Gwen, this time in Pose 5, so I asked the Green Goblin to bring her back.

John King - wanted Amanda in Pose 17, and I am sure he wante...

Carry Pack Showcase #1

Well that escalated quickly! After getting zero feedback on my new pose pack, my experiment to see if anyone was out there yielded unexpected results! I quickly had 20 carry scene requests!

I will try my best to do all of these, and April 2025 can be a Festival of Carries. The only way I can do this fairly is to work through them all in strict chronological order of the request. The first five to reply were:

DAWN of a New Era

I realise I haven't posted since the last Young Amanda showcase, but here's another showcase that accounts for what I have been doing in the meantime...

As those of you who are 'in the know' will know, I've been best buddies with PerilsOfDawn for well over a decade now. It all started when I created his (infamous) newspaper reporter Dawn Meadows in Daz Studio 3, using good old Victoria 4. Some of these pics can still be found over on deviantART here:

Portrait of a Girl Detective

Young Amanda IV has so many fine and high definition details about her face and hair, I wanted you all to appreciate them. So here's a 4K portrait. She had a little too much makeup on yesterday, and got in trouble with Principal O'Shaughnessy.

Here's a more natural look, with no blush or lipstick, and just a little eye makeup.

Introducing Young Amanda IV

What adventures would you like to see?

U.S.S. Archer #8 - The Last Option

As a phaser fight breaks out on the bridge and bodies fall, Commander Amanda makes a final desperate decision.

Thanks everyone for your patience while I finished this story. This last update is 26 frames and I could have broken it into two parts, however that would have ruined the suspense.

I've been working on this all month - just as an indication, the posing, lighting and camera work for each shot can take anything from 1-3 hours, then maybe 2 hours render ti...

Is Nurse Evie doomed?

This is the first half of a final part which I planned as around 15 frames but will probably run to 20-25, and thus it made sense to split it into two. I hope you all had a good Winter Break - in my case Christmas and New Year obviously obstructed me working on the story and so it's been two weeks since ...

U.S.S. Archer #6 - A Desperate Fight

Can the U.S.S. Archer break out of the Klingon ambush? Or are the odds too great?

This is NOT the final part... instead I decided to split the last instalment into two sections, and get this one out nice and quickly. I'm off work now and able to work on this full time. So if I can keep making 3-4 renders per day it might just be concluded by Christmas. If not, apologies in advance. Obviously there's no way I'd get this far without providing you with the ending :-) View Post

U.S.S. Archer #5 - The Negotiation

Squabbling breaks out on the bridge as Commander Amanda is given an ultimatum. But is there still a fighting chance for the crew?

Found out next time in the (probably) final part of USS Archer!

I still have a plan and a script for the ending, but when I am making these, sometimes what I thought would be one panel ends up being several, and meanwhile others don't look like they did in my head when I try to arrange them on screen. This instalment ended up being longer than planned...
