Size comparison: Imp and wee elf on devil tail, cont.

2026-05-15T17:31:20Z

When I designed the Ellery imp, following on design elements from devil Nia, I gave her a glowing blue tail and horns. Somewhere along the way I turned off the glow on the imp's tail. Well, let's put it back.

I didn't upload new art yesterday, but at least I can share some more angles on this scene now.

Hiromu and the mysterious apparition

2026-05-13T19:39:06Z

Back in March I was working so much in DAZ Studio that I set up stuff I just didn't publish. I don't think I even saved renders of this scene, probably because I didn't have the lights finished.

Well, lately I'm in DAZ Studio less, and feeling much less creative.

I decided I could just render what I have of this scene and post that today. Don't expect this "mysterious form" story to continue, though.

A sexy bunny / Hills and Peeks, revisited

2026-05-07T07:47:37Z

I decided to give my computer a little bit of a workout by revisiting this scene, finally showing Hiromu, Nia, and Jessi all in one shot.

( neither really nude nor really safe for work )

I also like showing that I did pose the feet that were cut off in some shots. I added another block of terrain, seen behind cartoon Nia here; and proudly rendered these two shots. 😊

Then I realised I had to fix some of the feet, where ground was poking through the sandals. 😮‍💨

Reworking cartoon Nia's chest a bit. There was some weirdness around her solar plexus. I don't think I'm keeping this version of the breasts, though.

The satan Nia (Let's give the church kids nightmares!)

2026-04-17T18:54:25Z

shot 2026 april 13

So I was going to give the new version of Nia angel wings—or give angel Nia the new boobs, in effect—and I had both the devil bits and the angel bits on the figure at the same time, and I decided to use that for a render. I called her "the satan Nia," but maybe there's a better name.

Revised debbil girl

2026-04-13T18:09:02Z

I tweaked devil Nia a bit. A bit more. She was mostly just me with horns. Now she has some physical tweaks; including fuller boobs, which should make it to regular cartoon Nia; and a tail that glows a little bit, which I'm not sure I'll even keep for devil Nia.

( nudity and stuff )

Hills and Peeks

2026-04-11T06:56:20Z

Closing out this week with four shots on my "hill" set (for want of a better name) with V4 figures in 3D-Age's Peek VI bodysuit (which apparently is no longer for sale, so I can't link it here.)

( Not nude, but not really sfw. )

I didn't post new art yesterday. I was having a bad day due to multiple lost files, that, yes, I should have backed up online years ago.

But today I modified the DAZ Vicki 4 Bodysuit for cartoon Nia and I think it worked okay. Got a sort of space opera costume going here.

We made this.

( Taking a look at how much of what I do is really just assembling and tweaking other people's hard work, and how much is mine regardless. )

Another sfw variant, after a fashion.

I got this RPublishing shorts figure years ago. But I just customised the diffuse texture today, cobbling it out of some textures that came with the figure, and changing some colours. I think it's a little rough at the seam, but good enough for this image.

Ms. Ellery Petrezza, nude

A pretty boring nude, but I think the colours are pleasant. Bet it turns to mud on mobile. :-/

I redid Ellery's nipples today. I seriously thought about changing her eyes, too.

Angelic Nia, 2026febrero, wi' tweaked halos

2026-02-10T17:52:07Z

This weekend I tried re-editing my angel shots from last week so the halos would both cast shadows and illuminate the area around them.

To mixed results?

It's New Year's Eve.

2025-12-31T22:51:51Z

It's New Year's Eve.

I was going to try to produce some new art when I was doing the Art Advent Calendar on Bluesky, but it's hard to start again.

About to get through a calendar year having made NO VISUAL ART, and that feels so wrong.

My old version of DAZ Studio doesn't work, the newer versions confuse me still, and most of my old files I lost a few years ago. That last part is the most discouraging; I had years of character designs & personal hacks that just don't exist anymore.

I got on the DAZ3D site today, and they're breaking up with 3Delight, the fast render program. Ugh.

And yeah, I haven't cared enough to figure this out all year.

I'm trying to render something from a forgotten file that looks like I started it & left it 27 months ago, that's how bad it is.

And I have no clue when this new render program thinks it's even done.

Well, I still have 3Delight, so I can redo it.

But what is this lighting? I didn't put these fills in!

...

Somebody buy me a camera. I should go back to 35mm film.

• ◘ •

Anyway, here's an artless piece of art.

I wonder where my wild animal models got to. :-(

I'm not sure about the future of my 3d art

2023-08-22T20:12:23Z

This summer, I lost my PC, and all my art files from the last several years, and notes. I hadn't been backing things up.

I have a new PC, which doesn't want to run the old version of DAZ Studio I was using. The most recent version of DS is an adjustment, and I am not adjusted yet.

I don't know if I'm going to be able to rebuild much of what I did over the last 5-6 years.

Add to this that it seems like no one cares about my artwork. I'm feeling pretty close to done.

I should just be a photographer, lol.

After magnetising this pullover (3D-Age Small Lovely II) with EasyBreast (yes my cartoon breasts are in fact partly third-party), I added a few magnets to the chest & abdomen to patch that. Then I put magnets in the armpits. It worked, but it takes a little while! And I've been lazy! So lazy!

This is actually a reused pose and lights from almost a year ago. Different hair & new camera, so it's not that obvious?

So I haven't been producing artwork for a month. In that time, Twitter has been undercut by new management, Tumblr is allowing artistic nudity, & dA is doing something daft with AI art. I may be back, but what does "back" mean?

(Oh, cool! dA has "Not authorized for inclusion in third-party AI datasets" checked by default? Apparently.)

Fake reflection work. It took me longer than it should have to notice that my camera position was fine, I just needed to flip the reflection shot. Slow-witted old snake-woman!

Used existing work to come up with a new image today. These lights were the first I shot with yesterday, & I changed them there; but they're fine here. Domingo's pose is directly copied from a 2015 scene.

reframing 'Coastal flight'

2021-11-09T20:25:25Z

working on art: great
publishing art: tedious
cropping art for publishing: horrid

Am working on phone wallpaper sizes. This may be a waste of my time.

Thoughts/feelings?
If you download a wallpaper for your smartphone, do you want...
just a big image to crop?
choice of alternative resolutions?
a crop already chosen for you?
something else?

I've been publishing work at relatively small dimensions for a long time. But this was actually shot at higher resolution for a wallpaper design, so even this version at "Instagram dimensions" is both cropped and scaled down.

Anna, on Patreon

2021-11-07T06:32:43Z

I did work on a render really late Saturday, & I was unhappy with it even before I found a big error in it.

I reshot it & put it on Patreon. Wow, too bad I have no subscribers to read this content!

https://www.patreon.com/posts/anna-doubled-58397150

Stage magician Anna occupies a strange place in my stable of characters, in that she was created as fan art of DC Comics' Zatanna Zatara, but I just kept her around ....

But seriously, I don't want to trick fans of Zatanna into giving me $4 for this. It's a few sentences about 3D character design & extremely boring. Don't give me money. I would feel bad.

I probably could have posted something like this earlier if I hadn't been stubbornly trying to work with some badly chosen lighting for hours. But yeah, newly customised raspberry dress, new raspberry(ish) makeup, & finally lit well enough to show it off.
