    Title: Make Yourself Comfortable

    "You might as well make yourself comfortable" the older man said, "You might be here for a long time!"
    The older man looked like a rogue, the younger man thought, but what was the horse's crime?

    Used from The Forest Whispers: vines and ferns

    Also Used:
    Older Man = Stefan for Genesis, Wolf King clothes with Lord of the Wolves textures roughed up with Rag-Erator and Grime-Inizer
    Younger Man = Caleb for M5, Genesis Ranger clothes
    DAZ Millennium Horse with SpineBender Armor

    And so to pull number 12:
    378 = Martial Arts Weapons
    844 = Keira for Stephanie 5
    649 = The Tent
    482 = Xerr
    937 = Spanish Rose - V3 Flamenco
    745 = Enchanted Island
    138 = the Girl 4 Base
    ...hmmm

    Another catchup:
    temporal.ranger "Out Of Miracles" - dramatic lighting, repays a look at full size
    "Rerolling" - lovely! I really like the (not too intrusive) sparks and the mysterious figure at the back (another one for a full-size look)
    Luci45 "Apocolyptic Tarot" - really magical, I love the flying cards and FX - makes a change from a game of chess?
    "Material Girl" - can I call that beautiful when it's such a grungy scene? Well, I did and it is!
    "A Neo-Luddite ..." - Been having 'puter problems or something? Lovely idea, really clever.
    emsim "Mystery at the Haunted House" - I don't think he'll need the magnifying glass to see that problem! Good fun.
    Sasje "Cheat" - tricky mix in that pull: I like the way you've posed the baby on the back of the chair
    Storypilot "Must Be Dreaming..." - nice story! And nice render, especially the lighting
    "Treasure" - I like it, nice idea for using the breaking waves!

    And belated congrats to Totte and hawkonthewing for the Mini-2 wins

    Thanks for the comment MelanieL, and nice render. I think that horse is known as a vile thief to every orchard in the countryside. ;)

    Roll #2
    657 - Medical Tools 1 - Surgical Tools
    364 - Stephanie 4 Elite base
    593 - Eminence DS
    211 - Zac Hair for Genesis
    436 - Cyborg Model 4

    This one came together right off for me, which is rare. Saw the cyborg and the medical tools, the gothic building, the girl, and it was instant. Maybe a little obvious, but oh well, was totally fun.

    Possibly humorous and embarrassing side note: So this is like the first render I've ever done with Stephanie 4. (Back story to the side note: i got her when she was a plat club anniversary special last fall, I pretty much only use genesis, but she comes with a pleasant skin, and maybe I'll have genX at some point for those heads, that was my thinking, you know how it goes). And then i rolled her, and i thought, "neat, this will be fun and different," ...and then came the moment after I loaded her when I realized I had no idea how to make her wear the clothes. I'm putting various Gen 4 clothes on her and simply not understanding for a several moments why this isn't working right. Then... Ahah. This is what those unimesh fits are for. And I have none of them. Quite literally none. I have many things, but "fits" I pretty much as a rule ignored, because I bought the main products solely to autofit them. Well it's possible I have something that came with them already, or were in a bundle, but I can't figure out which those might be, and the random smattering of gen4 clothes I have are pretty hopelessly disorganized/not installed. So... in the end I put her in the Bunny Dazed sweater and had to dial out S4's body back to V4 to get it to fit... but I kept whichever S4 head I was using! and I made sure to prominently feature that head! Lol. I had several other clueless things happen I was trying like a newbie to understand/remember/learn how to use gen4, but I'll just keep the rest of the shame to myself. The title in this case refers as much to the artist as to the subject...

    Title: Additional Brains Needed.
    Tag: Storypilot #2

    Edit: and if there are any logic police wondering, doesn't he need a saw to cut through her cranium? remember he's a cyborg... his wrist joints have extremely precise and unlimited circular pivoting ability and are driven motors. in other words, he is the saw :)

    Catchup time:
    Storypilot "Additional Brains Needed" - nice one! I like the expressions (even on the droid doctor!)
    By the way, thank for your comment on my last - and I feel for you about S4 as my latest had the same problem with Girl 4 - I only ever picked her up when she was free and I was gathering everything going, but the only Unimesh clothing I ever got was when the Uni-fits happened to be in a bundle I bought to get something else!)
    Luci45 "Big Mike's Mercantile and Curios" - another lovely render and clever use of the shaders to bring a disparate pull together
    emsim "The Forgotten" - and another stunner - I love the muted colours
    Totte "Deathrace 2013" - interesting angle on the weird and wonderful vehicles there

    And although I'm going rather slowly this month, I thought I'd risk pull 13 (8 items now):
    995 = Lord of the Wolves
    647 = Bandstand
    1112 = Aiko 5 Starter Bundle (= Aiko 5, Osaka Hair, Pure Hair Timeless, Rave Girl for A5, Azumi for Aiko, Forever Fantasy Poses, Bow Dress and Boots)
    1080 = The Savage Freak 5
    566 = Angelic Dynamic Gown for M4
    1169 = Ron's Condensation
    847 = Shimuzu's Stephanie 5 Poses
    1126 = Land of the Ice Cold Sun
    ... and what a lot of people this one will need to use! :ohh:

    #511 Ryuu International M4 and Genesis

    Did another random draw.

    This looks promising!


    509 Gargoyle
    382 Absinthe The Green Fairy
    137 Victoria 5 Preview
    041 Enchanted Island

    I already know just what to do with this lot...

    This took too long. I couldn't rig the V5 Preview figure (I have no rigging skills!), so I stole V4's skeleton to pose it.

    The body is textured with Absinthe's Wing colors and the rest was pretty much straight-forward.

    I call it "Don't Feed The Gargoyle" and tag it Sockratease #2

    Catch-up:
    Luci45 "Autumn Afternoons" - ooh, pretty! Lovely dreamy atmosphere.
    "Teatime in Purgatory" - and what a totally different style, reminds me of a Japanese print (perhaps that was your intention?)

    Ostadan "My Friend Would Like A Table To Eat" - nice colours there.
    Sockratease "Don't Feed The gargoyle" - what was the Victoria 5 Preview then? (I must have missed that) And what an evil litttle chap that gargoyle is!
    And now I might be pushing my luck (I'm going so slowly at the moment), but here is Pull 14:
    738 = Winter Wonderland
    1185 = Cesar Character Set for M4
    151 = Buddha Statues

    Glad you can see the Evil!

    V5 Preview was a sort of joke released during the pre-genocide release hype.

    It's an unrigged, not UV Mapped, obj file of what may or may not be related to anything.

    It wasn't available for long, and must have been free because it's a human, and I would never pay money for a human model! That is reserved for Cows!!

    The file is dated 3/30/2011, and that's about all I recall about it.

    Maybe somebody who actually cares about yucky human models can recall more...

    But here's V5 in all her Preview Glory!

    You had to download it to see it!

    No preview images were given - would have spoiled the joke.
