Blue Angel Jennifer

Hello again.

Does anyone remember Hypnotics World? You have to be of a certain age... I was looking through old clips from more than ten years ago and remembered how much I loved their Blue Angels. Some of the sexiest actresses got to wear that outfit, from Keri Spectrum to Jade Indica, to Kobe Lee (all of whom went onto places like Sleeperkids World etc). I was never quite sure what actual powers the Blue Angels had, or whether they were even supposed to have any, because they spen...

The Torquestra (or Torchestra?) - Full Set

What do you guys think? Should it be called the Torquestra or Torchestra? Do you have any requests for the next recital? Who should join the ensemble and what instrument would they be playing?

This was the perfect fun project to start a holiday weekend. My PC has been rendering for 24 hours solid. These three look adorable and classy in their concert gear.

As this month comes to a close, I now consider Amanda IV launched, and she's ready to venture out of the studio. What d...

Amanda & Friends - In Concert

Inspiration / Listen Here: https://youtu.be/e52IMaE-3As?si=6CdoMPNydxieJ122

This is a coming together of ideas. I always wanted to show Amanda with her lovely legs wrapped around a cello. It's pretty much my favourite instrument and for a long while I wanted to combine her with it. This black see-thru shirt for Amanda IV kept making me think she was dressed perfectly for a musical performa...

Amanda IV - Further Revisions Today

I finally had some time today to address a couple of things that were not finalised with Amanda IV. I have reshaped her brows and added some more detail to her eyes. I was pretty fond of this little black number she tried out last week and thought it would be the perfect minimalist accompaniment for some portrait shots that show the changes.

It may well be that you can't see any difference, in which case I'm happy. I didn't want the changes to be too jarring, but I found her brows a...

Amanda IV - The Lowdown

I've had a bonkers week and a half of work, where all I wanted to do was sit down with new new new Amanda and make more renders. But it's the weekend now - and I can do what I want!

Amanda traded the shorts from El Classico with a pleated skirt (this one is my favourite). I proposed some low down floor poses but wasn't quite able to get the optimal angles.... such opportunities and malfunctions tend to arise when the subject is less, shall we say, conscious. These shots were still pr...

Amanda IV Means Business!

As promised: I wanted Amanda to reprise her look from 'Serious Enemies', which seems to be a popular picture.  Do you think she pulls it off?  I can't decide whether I like glasses on or off most for this look.  What do you think?

Last three pics are three possible 'jacket off' variants: Firstm a camisole which is more equivalent to what she wore as Amanda II, then the T-Shirt I used in the other images, and finally a blouse so sheer that it requires a bra underneath :-) ...

Amanda IV - Hoodie Modelling

I've been madly busy for the last few days since AJIV made an appearance.  I've been wanting to sit down and do loads of renders in all her outfits but there always seems to have been something urgent I needed to do first.

The blue hoodie is one of Amanda's staples and, even if she doesn't have it on, it's frequently tied around her waist.  I was going to do a full set of these but this pose took me all afternoon and there's no rule that I have to post things in fours or fives...

Amanda Jones 4.0

Here she is.  If you hadn't read the script then this is why I was doing all the soul searching and looking back over the last couple of days.  It's always nerve-wracking when I launch a new Amanda, even though I have pulled it off twice before and I am very convinced of the new one's quality.

Close watchers (are there any?) might have noticed that Hannah's comeback quickly turned into a showcase of Amanda II, and she was very well received too.  I must admit, it left me ...

Poll Results

I've now had over 40 responses to the Amanda poll, which is close to a third of you, but the trend is now very clearly established in terms of Amanda III being the favourite version.  I had never put this to the test and was a little wary of doing so, mainly because I hate to choose between them and I want them all to win.  I had to put together the montages simply because it's been a whiile since Amanda I and II and I wanted to give them a fair chance. I feel more bad for Amanda I ...

Which is your favourite Amanda model?

OK I've done it now, I've given you a history lesson and a recap of 13 years' work.  So the question is (and there's no wrong answer) which of the three Amandas do you like the most?  If you were forced to choose?  Or maybe the choice is easy for you.  I am really interested to see the results of this.  You can base your choice on anything you like - how she looked, how she dressed, the stories she was in and the fates she met.  If you'd like to explain your vote...

The History of Amanda Jones III

Amanda III was the first character I created in Daz Studio 4 and with Genesis 8 Female. Generally your first one of anything is when you make all your mistakes, but one thing I got right was to ask Perils of Dawn to get me started.  He'd been using Daz 4 for years and I'd just started.  He recommended a base character to me, which was SASE Renae, and we built Amanda on and around her.  My own version has since suffered countless tweaks and modifications but you can still see th...

The History of Amanda Jones II

Amanda the Second, known at the time of birth as New Amanda, came into being somewhat by accident.  Firstly, I was ready to consider a new model after over five years with the first one; and the fact I was doing ever more 'Young' and 'Adult' versions and spending my time on that was proof.  Second, I was really sick of Amanda I's hair model ('Eden's Bob'), which was lovely for standing pictures, but defied gravity and also covered her ears all the time.  By 2016 there ...

The History of Amanda Jones I

For reasons that will soon become clear, I thought it might be nice to take a look back over the different 3D versions of Amanda during her 13 year career as an adventurer, detective and damsel in distress.

Amanda I made her debut on deviantART on 1st Jan 2011.  She was the main 3D model for Amanda until the end of 2016.  She was built on Daz's Victoria 4 using the FRAD Eden character as a base.  She existed intitally just as plain old Amanda, but as I came into ...

Something big is happening tomorrow

Big for this page anyway.  I know I have been quiet for 3 weeks, but I have not been idle.  I have been working on something that I had to get right before I showed it to you.  I hope you're going to like what it is, because I now consider it almost ready for you to see.

Thank you for your patience.

Kat is leaving now... (8k UHD Render)

Tschüss!

Katrin is just wating for an Uber (or in her case is it Über?).  She is off to the airport, heading somewhere hot - or at least I hope so, wearing that skimpy summer outfit.  No doubt we'll get the edited highlights of her photoshoot, over on her instagram sometime this weekend.

I hope you enjoyed her brief cameo.

I wonder what the other two have planned for this evening, once Kat has disappeared.

Friends Reunited!

Does anyone remember that website, kind of a forerunner to Facebook, which was responsible for ruining a whole load of marriages?  And with social media, it was downhill from there...  Still, without social media, you'd never have discovered these three!

The old gang is back together!  For a short time at least.  Amanda looks ready to go on a mission.  Hannah really wants to go with her, not for the mission, just for Amanda. Kat has to catch a plane for a photo ...

Hannah Modelling Session & Guest!

Hannah has such a nice wardrobe of outfits, and I have converted them all for Daz 4.  One of the best things about Daz 4 is that you can set collision and smoothing modifiers even on these decade old Victoria 4 clothes and they fit nice and snug with no poke through.  And the iRay lights and shaders make them look better than ever.

Our flame-haired model was looking a little lonely so I thought it was appropriate for Amanda II to join the party.  I would have posted more ...

HANNAH is back in iRay

I do read your comments.  I was asking who folks would like to see out of Ciara / Penelope and Kiwegapa popped ujp and mentioned Hannah.  Hannah always used to win popularity polls on deviantART; she has always had a cult following.

For several years I have been looking for a Genesis 8 Female to make a new Hannah 2.0 in Daz 4.  However, I just couldn't find one who looked right enough to base her off.  Some models are just unique.  So, I spent this afternoon pai...

"Hey look! A Dungeons and Dragons ride!"

My take on Sheila from the 1980's animated Dungeons and Dragons series.  Yeah, I guess not many of you are old enough to know what that is.  But for this, there's Youtube!

Quick Update

Very sorry everyone, I have spent most of the last two weeks ill.  And, when I recovered, all the work was still waiting for me.  I notice I have lost some patrons in the meantime, and I am acutely aware of my responsibilities to those of you who remain - and continue to part with your money.

Sadly this illness completely knocked my off balance with what I planned to do with Evie and my rebooted Mystery of the Sacred Stones.  I had started my own CYOA in Inklewri...

MOTSS - 2024 Cover Re-Issue (Daz Version)

Over the next week or two I am planning a bit of an 'event' here on Patreon (with some side events on my Discord server) all relating to my own personal 2024 reissue of what is my favourite Choose Your Own Adventure book.  As you know, I have been heavily inspired by gamebooks over the years, with CYOA and Fighting Fantasy being the best known - though not to forget the contribution of Which Way, Dragontales, Plot-Your-Own-Horror, Twist-a-plot and ...

Party Portraits #2 - Penelope

Continuing the theme of classic characters who were criminally underused in 2023, here's Penelope.  She did make an appearance mid year in her office with the newly-reborn Lianne, however it's far, far too long since we saw her doing anything as Black Arrow.

Hopefully not too long to wait on that front.

I told Penelope to go fetch her expensive handbag and get her work glasses out for the last shot.  She is still mystified as to why people ask to see this.  I have g...

Party Portraits #1 - Ciara

Ciara was definitely the most Christmas-y lady at the party and also one of the most criminally neglected talents in 2023.  She only got a couple of modelling sets and a cameo appearance as Amanda's rescuer in the Lafarge set.  I am sorry to her fans and I hope to be addressing this in 2024.  She definitely needs to get herself out of the studio and either fighting gangsters or exploring a local(?) gothic crypt.  I hope her fans like these portaits (and the 'fan' service) ...

Teaser: Supergirl vs Brainiac

I am going to take a different approach with this story,

Rather than trying to stay focussed on a sequence of renders without jumping onto other things as the whim takes me, I am going to put these together very slowly over a long period, and organise them using the Collection feature (i.e. folders) that Patreon has added.  This way I don't get locked in to something I can't finish and regret being unable to do other projects, and once it's finished it will all be there and visible...

Supergirl Cosplay (yes it's Charlotte again)

I have a story I want to tell.  And it involves Supergirl.  It's taken from a gamebook.  Some of you that I chat to on Discord know which book and which scene it is.

You may recall that I made a 1980s Supergirl nearly two years ago, then never really used her.  One of the main problems was the time and resource to dForce her flowing hair, cape and skirt for every scene.  This is major two-hour grind and gets in the way of the spontaneity when it comes to creatin...
