U.S.S. Archer #4 - Casualties

With no engine power, and casualties mounting up, can Commander Amanda hold it together? Is she about to risk everything on a desperate ploy?

As I mentioned previously, the delay in getting this part done was that I had a four day trip away after posting Part #4. I'm still looking to get the last two parts completed in time for the cast Christmas Party (if they can survive the story - cosplay can be dangerous). Just as a note, I'm really pushing the new PC to the limit. I'v...

U.S.S. Archer #3 - The Ambush

You have to feel for the glamorous ladies of the U.S.S. Archer. Ship and crew are about to be tested beyond their limits. Their lack of plot armour may be their undoing....

I bet you never thought you'd get space battles on this page!

I've been off work this week so was able to lavish attention on this series. I switched up the image resolution further during the series as I didn't want to waste any detail. Render time per image is running at around one hour. I'm now about to t...

U.S.S. Archer #2 - The Mystery

The story continues.

Has Commander Amanda made a terrible rookie mistake?

Let me know what you think. And continue to let me know who's your favourite Star Trek babe. :-)

U.S.S. Archer #1 - A Call For Help

Commander Amanda faces a dilemma when responding to the distress call, and crew tensions at an all-time high. These officers are long overdue for some Shore Leave. Maybe they did need the men after all...

Let me know who's your favorite Trek babe in the U.S.S. Archer crew!

U.S.S. Archer - Introduction

"Captain's Log, Stardate 5928.5 U.S.S. Archer: Lt Commander Amanda Jones commanding.

Five days after the event that caused the disappearance of the Captain and all male crewmembers, we are returning to the nearest starbase at Gemini 4. We have picked up a distress signal near the edge of Federation space and are changing course to investigate."

Start of a new series. This has been a lot of work to set up. Thank you for your patience over the last 2-3 w...

Q4 Cosplay Sessions - The Girls Fly In!

Katherina and Charlotte flew into the studios with lots of outfits in bags, and were quickly introduced to guest cosplayer Jennifer. We have a lot of themed shoot ideas and so I wanted to give them some exposure. I think a trio works best for what I have in mind. Hopefully they will get on!

I'm keen to do some varied shoots, outfit-focused, without any particular story or narrative, and see what you like the most. I already have plans for

Penelope's Evening Workout - Part 2

Penelope was initially a bit sniffy about having her workout session captured on camera. But that quickly gave way, as she remembered how much she likes the attention. Her ultimate fantasy is to be utterly desired and helpless. She even offered to pose for some 'knocked out' shots. I think she knows what you like.

I've made some tiny tweaks to Penelope's look for this update. Not huge, she's still 95% the same, however I did a few things I won't specify that continue to evolve her ...

Penelope's Evening Workout - Part 1

It's not by accident that Penelope D'Arcy aka Black Arrow can fit so well in that bodysuit. In fact it's the result of an intense physical training regime. I joined Penelope for an evening of core strength and yoga exercises. I ended up doing so many renders of this series that I am going to have to split it into two posts. Join us and see whether Penelope can win the losing battle to stop her bangs falling loose from that tight bun. I am talking about the tight bun on her head.

The res...

Ciara Mini Update / Studio Shoot

How do you like Ciara with her hair down, folks?

I recently got back from travels in Italy. While there I had the joy of visiting Milan, the fashion capital of the world. All around me were the most amazingly-dressed women, all in great shape. It was most inspiring.

Those in the know will remember that Ciara is half Irish (father) half Italian (mother), indeed this is what's behind her name. Ciara in Irish Gaelic means 'dark-haired' and, in Italian, Chiara means 'bright'. I always...

Exploring Egyptian Temple

I'm messing around with some of the many locations I have installed, as well as new render settings. Rendering with backgrounds is entirely different to pure studio renders, so I have some learning and practice to do. In the process I am guilty of making dozens of quite nice 'nearly finished' scenes before moving on without rendering them.

I freed Amanda from Lafarge's clutches and gave her some smelling salts. Then I sent her to look around an Egyptian Temple this afternoon.

S...

Late One Night in the Museum

Spent all week making these as I just couldn't stop rendering different angles of this scene! Hope you don't mind.

It's a rite of passage for each version of Amanda that she must suffer ch1oroforming at the hands of the dastardly Prof Lafarge. This generally takes place late one night in a museum when she thought she was sneaking around alone.

I did this last year with Amanda III and was keen to re-roll it with my new Amanda IV and a nice museum set, to give my new GPU and proce...

Heisenberg strikes!

Just a quick update to say that I have remade 'Heisenberg' for Daz 4 as a Genesis 8 Male character. This is very very bad news for Rebel Amanda, as now I can use all my poses on the pair of them!

In the Amandaverse, this is not quite the same character as Walther White - the resemblance is only physical. My Heisenberg debuted back in 2017 at the same time as 'Teen Rebel Amanda' - over on deviantART here:

Investigating Witch's Attic

So I got this witch's attic and was keen to render it.

Unfortunately the inexperienced sleuth I sent to snoop around couldn't keep her hands to herself. She uncorked a potion bottle and unleashed some cloying, sickly pink smoke that made her dizzy and faint.

I sincerely hope she wakes up now before the witch appears or she may not be coming home.

"Don't tell me what I can't do" - Rebel Amanda Mega Update

We're back - me, my PC, and Amanda!

I've now had my reborn PC in the house for exactly a week, which is how long it took me to restart from scratch with Windows, work, games, and most importantly 3D Art. It is always extremely nerve-wracking installing Daz Studio 4 on a new PC. There are so many little steps and tricks you have to go through to get it how it was working on your old PC and, if you get it wrong, there is every chance you won't be able to use your old installed content o...

Young Amanda Mini Update

Young Amanda got a new haircut. Do you like it?

Sadly, DAZ crashed while I was posing this scene. I am saving every few minutes so didn't lose anything. But it's seriously annoying.

I will do a bigger update with more outfits when I have the new processor and can work properly. This is as far as I got before the issues set in.

Brief update, with some temporary bad news

Hi there. Don't want to type a whole page about this so let's try and do it super-briefly.

NON TECHNICAL VERSION

My new PC has a fault, Daz keeps crashing, I hope to fix it by the end of the month. Sorry.

TECHNICAL VERSION

On the new PC, over the last two weeks, I have had a lot of problems with Daz Studio - and various games etc - crashing in Windows. After a long and extensive analysis (thanks, NO advice needed please) and after talking to the company that built my...

Studio of the New PC #5 - Jennifer Adams

Hello folks. It's been a mixed month for me - had COVID, went on holiday, it's been hot and I have spent a lot of time outside. As a consequence I haven't got my teeth into major Daz proejcts (sorry) and have just been continuing my long overdue update of my cast, as well as installing and testing lots of new clothes and hairdos.

Does anyone else like Jennifer as much as I do?

She was the first new girl I made from scratch with Genesis 8 Female, who didn't exist as a prior cast me...

Studio of the New PC #4 - Rachel Fox

Villains are important, if you're going to have heroines, and villainesses are a particular pleasure.

Just a little bit of history, I first introduced the character Rachel Fox in a (long) short story I wrote back in 2012. It's still on deviantART here.

Rachel Fox Sighted

Rachel Fox was sighted in the studio this evening, with a new look.

She has NO good intentions.

Photo shoot to follow.

Chloroforming Princess Amanda IV

This clearly never happened in any Star Wars film (yet). I was having a further play around with dForcing dresses and I wondered whether my new Amanda would make a decent Princess, taking over the role. Grand Moff Tarkin was on hand to assist with her initiation.

I have had COVID since the start of the month, and I am still not rid of it. I meant to post some Young Amanda pics, as I have been updating her for the new PC. She has a bonnie new hairstyle which some of you may have see...

Studio of the New PC #3 - Penelope D'Arcy

What to say about Penelope aka Black Arrow?

Since I remade her as Genesis 8 Female, she's been criminally underused. Penelope is one of my oldest OG characters. I remember writing Penelope's Mission 20 years ago when I was at work(!) My colleagues thought I was busting a gut on something very important. Well, I was! You can still read it here:

Studio of the New PC #2 - Ciara Nightingale

This took a little longer than expected!

I have spent three days updating Ciara. The first thing that always leaps out to me when I load her up is just how incredibly hot she is, and why on Earth am I not putting her in stories all the time!

Next thing that jumps out it that Ciara has SO MANY outfits. Well, actually it's not all that many different styles, but she has a ton of shirts, sweaters, shorts, boots and other footwear models most of which work in some combination or oth...

Studio of the New PC #1 - Amanda Jones

Hello. Can I start by apologising for not posting anything for 3-4 weeks now, and to re-iterate how grateful I am for your continued financial support in this time.

I spent six hours today in the company of Amanda Jones the fourth. Her base scene was a bit of a mess still, with a huge number of outfits and still very much a work in progress from earlier this year. I've spent this afternoon adding in some new bits (including some nice converse shoes), retexturing some others, plus I m...

Hello from the New PC

Just a brief hello, to say that the migration to the new system is now mainly complete.

I've had the new PC a week and it's been painstaking effort to transfer a decade of work and old programs - Daz 3, Daz 4, Photoshop - along with all my installed content, saved scenes, characters, custom textures etc. But it's done! And now everything works just as before.

Unfortunately I haven't had much time to play around because I also had to move all my work (and games) and overcome a few ...

Update from me - new PC ordered

Hi everyone. Normal service was interrupted as I took some time off for the Bank Holiday week. I am back to working for you now over the next few days.

This is just to say that I hope to continue/complete the Blue Angel story after a poll on the Discord server was overwhelmingly in favour of keeping going. It's been nice to give more exposure to Jennifer and Evie, but I do know that some of you would like to see more of the other girls too.

The major news is that my first new PC i...

Blue Angel vs Mighty Hypnotic #5

OOF! The swine! His improvised attack catches Evie smack on her cheek, stunning her. Before she can recover, the creep has closed the distance, and a strange light begins to glow.

No Evie! Don't stare into the vortex! Look away!

EVIE? LOOK AWAY!

Oh no....

I guess this must be why he's called The Mighty Hypnotic. Poor Evie's completely under now, like a statue. Completely unaware of her surroundings.

Is there no hope for the Blue Angels?

Blue Angel vs Mighty Hypnotic #4

Poor Jennifer - she's out cold and defenceless, at the mercy of this fiend.

What is he doing???

"Hey CREEP! Leave her alone!"

It looks like reinforcements are here! It's Blue Angel Evie! Could Jennifer be rescued?

Blue Angel vs Mighty Hypnotic #3

What? NO!

I can't believe he did that!

Jennifer watch out!

Jennifer! OH NO!!!!

Blue Angel vs Mighty Hypnotic #2

KAPOWW! You go girl!

Go Blue Angels!

Not so 'Mighty' now is he!

Blue Angel vs Mighty Hypnotic #1

Careful Jennifer! Behind you!

Oh no, it's THE MIGHTY HYPNOTIC!

Don't let him get you!
