It was about half way there, but then I saw a serious issue, first, the gnolls hairs was not playing ball for a bit, but that's ok, easy fix.
The second problem is the kicker though. I was using random seeds every frame, along with denoiser. To put it simply, it made things jittery and ugly.
I have fixed the problems, but I have to start over. This sucks, but at least I caught it before I finished the render.
On the plus side, my little side creation is going well, I have almost reached the point where i'd need my proper pc to continue.
(Never mind that he doesn't really look like anything, the sculpting phase has only just begun!)
When I reach that point, I'll find something else to do or learn.
Thanks for all the support!
And sorry about the render...
