Something "simple" done for my character Molly, who up until now had never been featured in their own picture. A technical experiment as well; getting her hair to do this was a new challenge, jumping back and forth between DAZ Studio (for the posing and rendering) and Blender (for manipulating her h...

Going along with the (now belated) birthday scene, here are Chelsea's updated profile renders ^^
I've almost never featured her in a scene of her own, but Chelsea is perhaps my favorite of all my characters. She's got a simple, down-to-earth look, yet still sporting a dramatically long tong...

Title kinda says it, but apologies for the lack of activity at the end of the month there. Long story short, hung around a bonfire a little too close and inhaled too much smoke, and brought myself down with a cold for this past... about a week, now? I've lost track of time.
Anyway! Been a bit of a...

So today is my birthday! And I've been taking a brief break from those other projects to make a bit of a present for myself. A simple concept that's turned a bit more complicated, but still going relatively quick.
Probably not finishing tonight (and I don't really want to be spending my w...

One of many character updates well overdue! This time featuring Molly, a character I don't believe I've given a scene yet.
Molly's character is a bit of a mystery, to me. I simply haven't figured out everything of her personality, yet. I know she very much has a preference for other ladies;...

A few updates to follow up on the last update!
First out of the gate... I've been continuing to have ups and downs with sleep schedule, which has been an issue for me for a long time now. At the moment it's going good! It can flip around in the span of a few days sometimes, but currently I'm loose...

It's early in the morning and my art block is briefly absent, so here's a rough start on a picture that's been floating in my head lately ^^
I described a bit of this in the previous update, but to refresh! Momiji is going to have 4-5 tiny people in the scene with her: one being squished against h...

Renders done! Just a whole lot of postwork to come, next.
What you're seeing here is 3 separate renders of the same scene, different lighting in each. It's tricky to get the lighting and colors to look just right in DAZ, so my preference is to just render a few shots, then combine and edi...

Slow progress, but a bunch of things happening! I'll try to keep things short.
We'll start with a follow-up to the most recent update, the subject of upgrading from DAZ Studio 3.1 to 4.10 version. In short, it was a bust. It *is* possible to migrate some things over, but it's tedious, time-consumi...

By the way! I'm intending to do something (semi) new, writing up a more detailed bio and introduction for a character of mine, Senka (since more info on her was requested a little while back).
That'll probably come in the next few days - give or take, since I don't know how much free time I've go...

An update on top of an update!
So, on to the update. I've been taking this month to re-install Windows onto an SSD I'd bought last year, and it's been a few days of trying to get everything back to how it should be (I still have the old HDD with Windows on it, so I can just switch them around to b...

Adding this to the "stuff I might work on" pile. Just a rough setup at the moment, but I had this picture in my head of Momiji licking an icecream cone that's maybe just a liiiittle too small compared to her, but looking super happy about it anyway. (in my head, Momiji would be enlarged as she usual...

Getting rolling a little slowly, but rolling all the same! It may take a little time before I hit that point of having multiple projects to show off at once.

Hello, hello! Let's jump right into this one.

Early start on May's project, perhaps? I have a few other random ideas floating around - and a doc with a bunch of suggestions to draw inspiration from - but for now, this is (relatively) simple and I really, really like how these usually come out.

Hello everyone! Quickie update today.
I'm re-doing a lot of my organization right now, and honestly, there's a ton of suggestions/requests I've simply lost track of, buried away in message chains and scattered comments. One of my current projects is gathering all of those into one big doc for my o...

Belated monthly update! (still April, at least.)
So... I haven't too much to mention, in actuality. But a few plans/changes that do bear bringing up.

Alternate, more punny title: guy-delivery pizza
What can I say! Annika loves pizza, and she loves tiny tasty humans, so what better way to top off a slice.
Not much more to add, it's a simple piece and I had fun on it! I wonder if that tiny guy is having fun on his piece? (okay it's not really ...

Final stretch! Actually, it's rendering while I type this, there's not a whole lot to it. Did a bit of my usual obsessing over details - should her arm be bent at a 34-degree angle, or 33? - but managed to get past that relatively quickly, thankfully!
This was a fun one, I need to do more like thi...

Sooo this probably isn't very exciting to many of you, but it's something I'm excited about! Mostly because these sorts of 3D models have been my white whale for a long while; making detailed models of organic shapes (i.e., not easily constructed out of cubes and planes and spheres) is a lot more di...

It's a messy scene at the moment, but off to a rough start! The composition and view is especially important with this one, so I'm fighting the urge to fine-tune poses before I've gotten the major elements in place.
