I was going to spend some time with Darthhell trying to learn some new tips and tricks – we spent like an hour together in Skype/Picarto the other day and whoah… – but it wasn’t meant to happen this week afterall. Still, I’ve been practicing mah artz. Take a look and let me know what you think!
If you find you can’t comment, send me an email, lovelies. I fix messes!
I updated my Dirella figure a bit. Dressed her suit up, grew her tits a bit. The images are pretty dark over all, but I kinda like it that way. I tried to make the milk look okay, the cum from the orc. I need to practice liquids more.
I reinstalled WoW so I could get inspired again. It’s not easy. Looking around my garrison for my bank and there’s no bank…but I was sure I put a bank there…nope, apparently not. And the level crunch, and my character is so squishy! But at least I have all my toys. Like my lantern collection. Loving that part of the game again!
Practiced a bit of blood work with this image. Found a great style to use on the slimey bloody bits. I wanted one that was overdone but of course I also wanted juicy blood and shiny blood.
I like how it turned out. I really need to figure out where and how to post images though. I mean, I can post them here. But my site with Darthhell, well we took that down. I moved my paysite art over to ThreeMoonsArt.com now, not sure if it’ll make me any money but a good effort at least!
…you’ll need the password. And ya can’t get that without emailing me.
Bwahahahaha!
I really miss chatting with my friends here, but I’m not going to have randoms showing up and harassing. Just not into it! So if you’re my friend, you can email me. If you want to be my friend, find my email 😉 And anyone else, all you can do is watch and sigh and dream and wish.
I ought to make a pic of that for you, my lovelies! That heavy primitive ape that rides me like I’m his bitch! Always making me feel guilty for spending time on the computer, even though time on the computer spent by ME is done creating income!
I’m still here though, still trying. Made a great image for my Aphotic Inferno Patreon site if you want to donate or sign up. I share this site and its small income with my dreamy cohort-in-spirit Darthhell. He’s been uploading some great work and you’d love to take a look, I just know it.
Of course, we got into a wee spot o’trouble with Patreon for having a little nudity…well okay, we put up a LOT of nudity! How were we supposed to know what we consider artistic they consider offensive? Well we found out the almost-hard way. They very nicely said “please remove….” and so we removed. It looks a bit bare to the passerby but honestly, once inside, there’s so much great stuff!
Alright I need to go finish being naughty during my lil free weekend. Tomorrow I do a crystal therapy assessment class and I’m actually a bit nervous! I know my healing stuffs, but I’m not fond of having to follow practices and protocols. I know the teacher and she’s very generous with her compassion, but she also wants us to bring our entire set up and that just makes me nervous! I actually bought new stones for it, just today, when I really didn’t need any…
Okay, digressing too much about rl stuff. See you with sexiness soon, darlings! *kisses*
Ah well. I still did some painting today, trying to paint hair. Ugh. After awhile it literally looks like I’m trying to mold life from the clay the gods used to make men! Blech. It’s like putty. How do you make putty in an awesome program like Photoshop?? Leave it to me…
I was trying to update my headers for here. I put up a werewolf one that I really liked, it’s kinda weird to look at but I was using it as a tester, and once I got it up well…I felt bad for the lil wolfy guy. I didn’t want to take him down!
I put one up of American Woman in her alter ego of Megyn Wolf, one of my Metrobay Comix superheroines. I really like how her lighting turned out fresh out of Poser, but I still wanted to fiddle with some of Ron’s Angel Dust. So purty.
And I did one of the newer V4/G4 DireLilith. It’s a small series I put on the Aphotic Inferno Patreon account. Here on the header, I kinda feel like it’s me saying, “Do you want classy or do you want cunt? Cuz we got them both!” Haha!
Feel free to share your thoughts <3 And stop by and see me while I’m hard at work making you hard…
So. I figured I’d try to do some learnings on Tuesdays. Hopefully it’ll become a habit!
Here’s my starting image, I forget when I even made this baby!!
I did three of them so clearly I was up to something. I called them ‘devil form’ so…guess I was feeling demonic?
I decided cuz of her pose and handbag that 1, she was going out on the town in her new form, and 2, she was posing for a pic! I found a nice night life background of city lights, and decided to learn a few things. I learned how to import a friggin 3D OBJ file – waaaaah? We can do that?? Yep, we sure can! I imported a random bridge file and couldn’t find it at first. Then realized that was because it was behind the girl, and had no texture. I gave it a texture, figured out the controls for moving an object around, scaling it, etc., and it came out well enough. I put it under her with a basic stone type texture, and realized she didn’t have a shadow…
So I used this – Cast Shadow in Photoshop Tutorial – very happy with the skill level and techniques I learned, which always end up being applied to future pics too. That’s cool, did the shadow, didn’t use the mask technique because the shadow was pretty much set to where I’d want it.
Then I did a bit of lighting. There’s this whole light room thing in Photoshop now, I gave that a whirl. In the past it’s been really bitchy with me, as in I would go into it and it would freeze the program, or no tools would show up, or I couldn’t manipulate any of the lights. Today, probably because a few years have passed, it worked out. Hoping that is because of fixes and drivers, etc.
Then I started thinking I ought to make her look a bit nicer. I did Darthhell’s method of copying parts of her skin and pasting them into new layers, then using Screen as the layer mode, then blurring them with Gaussian Blur. I wish I could make an action for that, so it would be a one click option – but each skin section on any pic I’ve worked on tends to require a different degree of the blur. I tried to focus here on her fleshy bits facing towards this unseen light I had created.
I wanted to paint her hair, and I found this – An Introduction to Painting Realistic Hair in Adobe Photoshop – but when I started reading it, I got this deja vu feeling of being in school. Oh where did the time go, *pretends to look at watch but who wears one anymore*, guess I need to head to bed! Heh, yeah, so I just left her hair as is. I know how I would do it, and I am sharing the tutorial for the hair here for future reference. But it’s not needed for this.
So here’s the final product. I was trying to make it realistic but I gave up and used my good ol’ Darthhell action. That tends to make my images look painted to a degree, but really, I am so done! I finished that comic up earlier so I’m satisfied with my efforts. Plus I used my free time wisely and did the learnings. Yay me! Hope you like this.
