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!

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 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!

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.

A couple days ago, I did these corrected versions of some shots that were previously published with a mysteriously downscaled cartoon Nia; but I'm not sure how I want to publish them.

[I called it "outtake" but it's technically a "behind the scenes" sort of? behind the behind?]

I may as well start using Imgur links for posts to Dreamwidth now. DeviantArt used to have well-designed links, but now there's not really a point in using them other than not taking time to also put an image on Imgur.
Tumblr & dA both break links after a while apparently, & I think Twitter is stopping hotlinking.
I'm going to have to use Imgur or load stuff here, eventually. So start now.

Victoria 4, clothes by 3D-Age, shot in DAZ Studio, rendered with 3Delight, background & text in Photoshop

I didn’t publish any art for three days. I didn’t save any renders for three days! I did do a little work in DAZ Studio over those three days. Not much, though. Not enough.

I used to think about characters & stories, long ago. I used to think that 3D was a shortcut. Now I do single shots without context, I worry about lights & materials, & I mostly just play with clothing tweaks; and it’s been this way for years.
