    Chanteur-de-Vent - (someone else doing a big catchup!) Thanks for your comments, I think Garen thinks the sadist option is the correct one, but maybe he's misjudging someone who's just very very good at the action hero stuff!

    Gopherus #2-A - oh dear, reminds me of recorder lessons for children! Nice expressions.
    B - hmm, Madame Ugarte looks like a bit of a charlatan. I like the statue's friendly little wave!
    C - oh, I'll bet Leyton is regretting that move. Great storyline!

    Luci45 - Thanks, I usually only manage funny(-ish, on a good day) but it just came out sad. Maybe I was having a bad day frown

    zawarkal - hi, welcome back! How are you doing? The last phrase doesn't sound too good, but let me wish you all the luck in the world. I hope we see your amazing work again soon.

    Good show Zawarkal!  There must be 100s of ways of beating it and attitude is the required first step. Your rational surrealism is missed.

    Thanks Luci and Chanteur de Vent and Melanie for your comments. 

    I lean to the vampire model for mummy s.  Where whatever age you are when you get wrapped you are forever.  Then baby mummy s would have to be adopted.  The lobster model on the other hand would have mummy s periodically breaking free of their wraps, puffing themselves bigger, then re wrapping themselves.  I m open to arguments either way.

    My oh my. Look at all of you. Busy, busy. I haven't made an image since last October nor even made it to the forums. I can see I have a lot of catching up to do. Daz has advanced quite a lot. And your images show it well. Silly me. Not making images yet still buying products. Decided to kick myself in the butt and get started again. I have just ordered a special computer table that I hope will help get me back in my last story on the game of life. I don't expect to make this rrrr, but maybe by the next one. Afterall 6 months+/-, what do they know? I plan to show them all!

    It's wonderful to hear from you!!!!

    Big smile. I have definitely missed making my pictures and all the friendships they have brought to my life. They recently changed my pain meds. I actually feel like I have a life again. Best have felt since this all began. I was buried in the mud for some time. Now I feel like I can get back into my 5D mindframe. So we're going to ignore 3D physicality and let the focus return to what we all want... fun and happiness!!

    luci45 #2 - (now there's a cunning way round the 10-or-is-it-15-lines dilemma!) great entry, I always enjoy your cartoon-style entries. And the poop-jokes angel Wasn't sure whether "the hairy one" meant the ape or the husband?!

    zawarkal - good to hear - wow, 5D?!

    Okay, once again, I need a bit of assistance in locating something.

    Can anyone suggest an outfit (for any figure, be it Gen3, Gen4, Genesis, G2, G3, whatever) that would suggest a paramedic/EMT?  It's for the third image in my current story (image #2 is rendering even now).

    I've queried both DAZ and Renderosity -- even RDNA and ShareCG -- and I've come up with exactly butt-loads of bupkis.

    Any suggestions?

  • DiomedeDiomede Posts: 15,388

    seems like you should be able to kit bash a pair of jeans with a short sleeve shirt.  Key seems to be creating an appropriate patch.

    Space Warp, Image 1

    Doctor Dex and his side kick, Victor Vulture were lone survivors, suspended in space. Hurtling through the void of the twilight zone, the pair survived by plucking those less fortunate from their airless tomb, removing their organs, and preserving their remains to reside as statues in the warehouse of hell. A scientist, the good doctor having gone quite mad, now sees himself as an artist in a floating museum. Look Victor! A ship! Possibly our good Sir Graham's, eh? Conjuring his shrink and fit, dematerialization spell, he sucked the hapless vessel into the confines of his latest room to fill.

    Finished with his arrangement, Doctor Dex stood in a fresh lab coat admiring his handiwork. Well, Victor, What do you think? Sir Graham is quite dashing, yes? Ah, what I wouldn't give for a live specimen though, a fellow humanoid. Eh? Look out the window... a spaceship... and it's flying under its own power!

    @Purrkat #1  LOL!  MFEO!  Very well done!  What was it that Spock said... "After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."  Though I bet that all 3 of them eat crackers in bed.

  • MelanieLMelanieL Posts: 7,711

    purrkat #1-1/2/3 - Oh yes, a great series - really nice renders and I love the poses/expressions on that toon vulture. The young lady looks a little less enamoured than the doctor, doesn't she? Well done. And thank you kindly for your comments on mine.

    Image Title: The Take-Down

    Leaving the Mystery Machine outside the gates, they entered the long-abandonded camp, and found themselves in a scene straight out of Fargo.  Martin and Scooby both sprang into action: Martin with a full-frontal assault, and Scooby with a rather more nuanced, 'lead from behind' tactic.  Alexis wasted no time calling in the police. Velma, on the other hand, just lost it.  As well as her lunch.

    Professor Gottlieb Krautfleden’s anti-aging machine - Part II

    Helga Haferflocken’s head started to spin, and her body ached, and suddenly she found herself much younger, but the world looked so different. She saw a sign, but was interrupted reading it by a voice saying - “Are you the chosen one? Were you sent here to help us take out the zombie factory as the prophecy said?” Helga felt young, and eager to reply, when her head started to spin again.

    Catching up #2:

    Gopherus #2:
                              2A - 
    The poses are wonderful. Love how you implemented the Toon family as statues, gives the garden a very vivid look, something similar to "Beauty and the Beast", where every thing has a soul and character.
                              2B - Love the POV and the poses are priceless again. Madame Ugarte is awesome. And I love how the statue is coming with Leyton, makes it even a more alive character. Oh, and him waiving definitely also adds to that.
                              2C - Nice touch of repeating the first panel with different poses. Gives it some kind of a better story framing. You know, here we start, road, coming back and concluding. And the poses are again are very well done.
     

    Luci45 #2:
                             2A - Nice  comic framing, looks very retro. Especially with the good old cosmic adventure theme. And the ape looks so stupid, no wonder he's intullectually limited.
                             2B - Looks like the intulectual level of the planet is limited, although very deceiving. Love the glow-in-the-dark plants.
                             2C - Oh, the lizard leader looks great. But I'm not sure the humans will like it here. Seems like their intullectual qualities might degrade over time if they keep interacting with the inhabitants of the planet. They can leave the ape though, he'll be happy.

     

    purrkat #1:
                            1A -
    I don't know what Doctor Dex did to get caught up in the space and time, but it looks like he's seriously enjoying it!
                            1B - Oh yes, he's definitely enjoing it! A crazy mastermind going nuts!
                            1C - Love his pose. Now I'm not sure if she's a mate for the statue in the corner, or for Doctor Dex. Or both. And why is he so happy again she's alive? Because her body is perfectly preserved? 


    Totte #2:
                            2A -
    Love the pose, Helga definitely already feels glamorous, before even the transformation takes place.
                            2B - Hmm, maybe instead of anti-aging machine, he did some time travel machinery? Or maybe even time travel into parallel universe? Or he put her soul into a different body in an alernative reality? I'll be speculating...

     

    Ken Obanion #1:
                             1B - 
    Looks like Velma doesn't really work well with her new team. I doubt something like that would have happened with her original cast.

    It was a slow day at my Auntie Maura's Arcana and Mystical Pet Shoppe when a good-looking guy in costume burst in pleading for help. I couldn't help but chuckle when he told us he was from another time. Auntie Maura didn't laugh though. She looked him over and asked him gravely what we could do for him. He, Roland was his name, asked if she could return him to his own time. Auntie Maura replied probably, that she would do her best.

    Roland said that he was being persued by a pair of nefarious scientists who also believed his story but wanted to unlock his secret by experimenting on him. Auntie told me to take him to our secret grove and she would meet us there. I was still snickering until the guys showed up. So we left in a hurry and managed to elude them.

    Auntie Maura conjured up a lot of light and energy and sent Roland on his way. I admit that I was amazed and speechless. She said, "Child, where do you think I get these little animals from? There are other realms, other times and places... an infinitude. If my calculations were right, Roland has returned safely to his home."
