It was too good of an opportunity for Triss to pass up. The seed of a Cyclops is one of the most valuable ingredients for alchemy in the Northern Kingdoms due to the fact that, not only are they hard to find themselves, but being able to collect enough of its ejaculate is hard enough.
Yet Triss was in for a spot of luck as reports and rumors have crossed the ocean from Skellige to Novigrad that a coastal village had been desimasted. Although it's been documented of a lone Cyclops leaving its secluded lair in search for food, only to stumble upon a human settlement.
However, this time the sailors spoke of more than the usual story. This time the Cyclops had remained in the village. Why monster this decided to stay put and not return to its cave is not known. But for Triss the whys and how's did not matter to her. She needed to find this creature, before it was too late…

Where to begin with this set. If you didn't see my other posts about this, I'll outline it now. So my plan was to have this set use both the cyclops and a Nekker to really do a contrast between a big monster, and a small one. All was going to plan until I went to add the Nekker model into the set. For some reason that's never happened before and I still don't know why it happened, the Nekker model screwed everything up. The rendering times went from taking 4 minutes to finish to 76 hours.
This was just ridiculous. So I had to scrap the Nekker. At this point all I could do was more stuff with Ciri and the cyclops but, due to his huge size, I was really limited with poses available.
I thought I'd take a few days break as I was getting frustrated. But it was a couple days later I just lost all motivation to continue with the set and thought I'd release it as is and treat it as a mini set akin to my one with the Drowners recently.
I was happy with how it all looked and I did enjoy the bodyjob section with Triss. Just a shame I couldn't make the set I wanted. However I do intend to come back to this after day. I'll probably have to change the location up and see if it'll work.
As always feel free to share any thoughts you have.
