Ada Wong RE4R Shooting Gallery Release

"Let's see what you've got, handsome."

Ada invites you to show off your aim... or maybe something else?

Hey all :)

Hope you've been doing well since the teaser post! Today I have for you the finished render to enjoy. Hopefully you do!

Normally this is the part where I would talk for a bit about the render and its journey from inception to completion, but I already touched on that in the previous teaser post. So instead of describing all the things I did to...

Update and Quick Teaser

Hey all! Hope you've been doing well since my last post :)

After finishing the Ada Wong RE5 wallpaper model swap, I took a bit of time to muse on what I wanted to make next. After a bit of thought, I had an idea come to me that really resonated with me, and I've started chipping away at it in my spare time! I would love to give you all an ETA on when this will be ready to publish, but this idea is going to involve a lot added detail in the form of hand-placed scenebuild, which I have t...

Ada Wong RE5 Wallpaper Model Swap Release

Hey all :)

Here's the Ada Wong model-swap version of the recent Jill Valentine RE5 wallpaper that I mentioned was coming in the previous post. I could've had this out to you all a few days sooner if I'd taken the lazy approach and just swapped Ada in, copy/pasted the pose, called it a day, and hit F12 (Blender hotkey for "render image").

But, instead, I decided to take the time to make some custom tweaks specific to this version, like posing and sculpting Ada's hair, sculpting h...

Jill Valentine RE5 Wallpaper Release

Hey all :)

Hope you've been doing well since my last post!

Sorry things were quiet this month. August just ended up being a very busy month for me, and I was sick for awhile as well. I thought about making an update post, but I didn't really have anything update-worthy to share, since, at the time, I wasn't sure when or even if I would have the free time and energy for Blender this month. And, as I've mentioned before, I don't like bothering you all with posts that essentially a...

"No Fate But What We Make" (Remaster) Release

Hey all :) Hope you've been doing well since my last post!

Today I have for you a remaster of an old, old render that I made a long time ago when I was just a fledgling artist. The original version of this render was my first "popular" piece, earning over 1K likes despite the fact that I barely had over 1K followers at the time. Due to its popularity, I promised to revisit and remaster it some day, when I had actually grown enough as an artist that remastering it would produce an appre...

Claire Redfield NEST Security Pinup ("Field Prep" Variant) Release

Hey all :)

Hope you've been doing well so far this month! Unfortunately things have been pretty busy and miserable here. Pretty much every day so far this month has been 90F/32C or above, and the constant extreme heat has been causing issues such as brown outs and severe thunderstorms. Between the weather and just being busy in general, I haven't had many opportunities for Blender, but I've got a little something for you today!

So, those of you with a keen eye and who have been ...

Quick "SFW" Variant of Ada Wong Village Pinup

Hey all :)

I know in my previous post I said not to expect anything between now and July 1st, but I had this quick commission request come in for a "SFW" version of the most recent render, which I was able to tackle this pretty quick.

The client asked for me to re-pose Ada's arms so she was covering herself, plus pull the camera back a bit to incorporate her face into the frame, and here we are.

Aside from that, all the usual disclaimers: these are the downscaled renders,...

Ada Wong Village Pinup Release

Hey all :)

So, I know this is starting to become a recurring theme... but let me start off by apologizing that things were quiet this month. Don't want to bore you all or anything, but I had to spend the start of the month dealing with a mixture of personal obligations, medical issues, and insurance problems that just left me feeling drained and not very creative. It's very hard for me to "push through" and "be creative" from a place of stress and exhaustion. But regardless of how I'm ...

Once More with Hip Holster

Hey all :)

The same client who hired me for the Ada SFW variant decided they also wanted a version with her hip holster included. Since it was easy enough to make, I went ahead and did so. Plus making a few extra bucks is always nice! The MEGA archive is now updated with this variant if you want to grab it :)

As for new content, don't worry; I've also been brainstorming new ideas. Nothing concrete has come into shape just yet, but I'm working on it!

I'll also be refreshin...

Ada Wong Village Manor Pinup SFW Release

Hey all :)

Not much to say here that the title doesn't already cover. Tbh, I wasn't planning on making this SFW variant, hence why it wasn't included in the original release post. But I received a commission request for it, so here we are.

In terms of changes, you have the full-length sweater dress, of course. I re-posed the breasts to account for the implied support (i.e., a bra) underneath, then sculpted the bust region of the dress to add some extra quality. Moving on, since ...

Ada Wong Village Manor Pinup Release

"Enjoying the view?"

Hey all :)

Sorry this month wasn't active like I had hoped/intended. Well, actually, I have been quite active this month, putting a lot of hours of free time into Blender. Unfortunately, I just haven't had anything to show for it. I've been struggling pretty hard with art block lately, and I kept drafting and then scrapping project after project because I wasn't happy with my work. It was honestly quite demoralizing and demotivating; I thought about...

Update

Hey all :) Hope you've been doing well since my last post!

Unfortunately I've been dealing with some family stuff the past few weeks that came up shortly after I published the Jessie render. Nothing serious in the end and everything's good now, but sadly I wasn't able to find free time for Blender. Thus the lack of WIPs/updates/renders since the Jessie pinup.

I'll be refreshing the watermark-free MEGA archive link at the start of next month as usual, which May 1st is this Wednes...

Jessie Rasberry 7th Heaven Pinup Release

"Thanks for stepping up, 'merc.'"

Hey all :)

After a much longer wait than I wanted, I finally have another render for you all. I hope you like it! I know it's not my usual Resident Evil content, but it was something I really wanted to make, and it's important to enjoy what you work on to keep the creativity flowing, prevent burnout, and (hopefully) produce a good result.

So, yeah. Jessie Rasberry. This render might seem a bit random, but here's how it came about...

Still Alive

Hey all :)

Hope you've been doing well and taking care of yourselves since my last post! Sorry this month ended up being a quiet one, I just have a lot going on at the moment that has been keeping me busy and away from Blender, unfortunately. I always try to be as transparent as possible that Blender is just a side hobby that I work on in my spare time, but I still feel guilty and awful when I'm not able to post consistently.

Things are finally starting to stabilize a bit, so I ...

Ada Wong Sci-Fi Wallpaper Model Swap Release

"What's the mission?"

Hey all :)

I really liked how the previous render came out, and I felt bad about teasing Ada content with those recent WIPs but then posting a Jill render instead, so I decided to do a model swap and make an Ada version of the recent render. I did Ada's battlesuit in red and black as those are her signature colors, as compared to the gray battlesuit for "Nova Terra Cosplay" Jill. Aside from that, you have the three post-processing variants, same as...

Jill Valentine Nova Terra Cosplay Wallpaper Release

"Orders, commander?"

Hey all :)

So obviously this isn't an Ada Wong render, despite the previous post's WIPs. Apologies to those of you who might be disappointed. I truly did play around with some concepts for Ada, but nothing really spoke to me. However, I've recently been enjoying some StarCraft in my spare time, so I decided to explore some sci-fi wallpaper ideas. When I mocked this concept up, it instantly resonated with me, so I decided to follow through on it.

Life Update, WIPs, and Random Thoughts

Hey all :)

Sorry for the silence and lack of content the past few weeks. Unfortunately this February has been a very rough month for me, in terms of dealing with unexpected personal issues eating up my free time, combined with being sick. I've just been very, very tired, and sadly that type of exhaustion isn't very conducive to being creative.

I did find some time and energy recently to play around with some pose concepts, pictured here. Right now I'm leaning more towards the wa...

"Freedom" Stylized Color Grading Variants Release

Hey all :)

Just some quick additional post-processing variants for Freedom. I forgot to check whether the render played nice with the "stylized color grading" look on Wednesday, so I did that today. I really liked the results, so I went ahead and published them!

As usual, these embedded images are the downscaled half-rez versions, and you can grab the native full-rez versions from the MEGA archive!

"Freedom" Release

"I'm yours no longer, Wesker."

Hey all :)

Today I have for you a render idea that came to me recently, of Jill holding open her battlesuit (from RE5) and showing the scar tissue from where her P30-injector chest piece was attached. It's not an overly fancy concept with lots of scenebuild or anything — kind of the direct opposite of my previous Ada render — but I really like the concept and execution. I'm really happy with how this piece turned out, and I hope you en...

"Respite" Release

A moment's calm, the deep breath before the plunge

Hey all :)

Sorry things have been quiet since my last post. I got slammed by some nasty weather — snowed in for a week straight with sub-freezing temperatures on a daily basis. Between weathering the cold and shoveling snow, I just wanted to spend my free time resting and enjoying cozy vibes. But once the weather cleared up, I got back to Blender-ing, and here we are!

So, onto the render. Not a ton to say here....

"Descent into the NEST" Battlesuit Jill Model-Swap Variant Release (Nova Terra Cosplay Edition)

Hey all :)

This is just a quick render I made for myself but decided to go ahead and publish. It's a Jill Valentine cosplay of the character Nova Terra from StarCraft. Compared to the base version, it features light blonde hair in a ponytail, green eyes, a gray battlesuit, and a touch of light pink lipstick.

The post-processing variants are the same as with Ada and Jill, and you know the drill: full-rez versions are in the MEGA archive.
