"Descent into the NEST" Battlesuit Jill Model-Swap Variant Release

"Descent into the NEST" Battlesuit Jill Model-Swap Variant Release

Hey all :)

In-between brainstorming my next render idea, I went ahead and made a quick Jill version of the recent Ada wallpaper. This render features Jill in her iconic RE5 battlesuit but with her RE3R hairstyle and without the P30-injector chest piece.

This wallpaper might not seem like anything really noteworthy aside from the po...

"Descent into the NEST" Ada Wong Model Swap Release

Hey all :)

Today I have for you a wallpaper with the RE4R version of Ada Wong, which is a model swap variant an older Jill render by the same name (although I changed up the pose to try and give it a bit of new life also).

I decided to go this route for my first render back because it was something quick and enjoyable to do to eas...

Back on the Blender Grind; Quick Life Update

Hey all :)

Hope 2024 has been treating you well so far! Just wanted to post a quick update to let you all know that things on my end have been getting back to normal, and I should be able to start finding some free time each week for Blender work. My holiday break from Blender was a great and much-needed respite that definitely helped to ...

One More Stylized Color Grade Variant

One More Stylized Color Grade Variant

Hey all :)

I know in my last post I pretty much signed off for the year, but I realized I forgot to check whether a certain render played well with stylized color grading when I revisited the previous renders — Daylight (2023). Daylight was one of my favorite renders this year, so I really wanted to see how it would lo...

"What would you like to unwrap first?"

Hey all :)

Merry Christmas!

Here's a quick Christmas-themed render with Claire that I threw together. Despite the limited time I had available to work on this, I'm really happy with how it came out.

I used a few effects in post to give this render a very subtle "soft" fe...

Extra Color Grade Variants

Extra Color Grade Variants

Hey all :)

I went through more of my renders using the stylized color grading technique I recently learned, and I really liked how these looked as well. There's still a few renders I haven't experimented with, but I don't feel like they're a good fit for this particular post-processing aesthetic, so this is probably the end of the color g...

Update + Some Stylized Color Grade Variants

Hey all :)

Hope you've been staying safe and healthy so far this Holiday season! Unfortunately, I myself fell ill shortly after finishing and publishing Morning (my most recent render). Setting health concerns aside, to be completely transparent, things have been incredibly busy for me lately (as I mentioned might be the case in ...

"Morning."

Hey all :)

After the overwhelmingly supportive feedback on my most recent render, Desire, I decided to make a sequel to it. I wanted to change things up a bit, though, so this render is done in landscape with a different backdrop (same bedroom, though), different lighting setup, and different pose. Keep...

Today I have for you another Claire Redfield pinup, this time in portrait style. I had a ton of fun working on this one, and I hope you all enjoy looking at it as much I as enjoyed making it!

Today I have for you another Claire Redfield render, this time showing off some back and butt since the previous render showcased Claire's front.

Despite everything going on this month (which I covered recently in my previous post), I still wanted to make at least one render for you all before October was out. I've been long, long overdue for a Claire Redfield render, and decided to do something that combined my love of sci-fi ...

Hey all! Sorry for the radio silence since my last post and the lack of content this month. Unfortunately, October has just not been a good month for me, and I've been struggling with a "death by a thousand cuts" scenario of different issues eating up all my free time:

Old Render, New Post-Processing

Old Render, New Post-Processing

Hey all :)

I'm going through some of my older renders that I'm still happy with (or happy enough, at any rate) and this Claire Cyberpunk Nightclub render has aged pretty well relative to how limited my skill sets were at the time. Back when I made this, I hadn't yet added DaVinci Resolve to my workflow, so I took the base render and did s...

Hey all :)

Today I have for you a quick Ada Wong render inspired by the recent announcement (and subsequent release) of Separate Ways for RE4R. The model maker whose models I use hasn't gotten around to porting RE4R's Ada model yet, so this render was made with RE2R's Ada model.

As for the render itself, I post-processed i...

Quick Update and Apology

Hey all, just a quick update. I wanted to apologize for the lack of content so far this month. My original plan was to dive back into Blender after a short break at the start of the month, but I had some personal stuff come up during that time that I'm still dealing with. I do have some ideas that I want to explore, it's just a matter of finding...

Not too much to say here, just some quick S.T.A.R.S. variants of S+ Rank to complement the S.T.A.R.S. beret that was already in the scene. These were requested by a long-time supporter, so I was happy to oblige. Like with the initial release, you'll find the native full-rez versions alongside alternate post-processing ...

Today I have for you a render I'm really excited to share.

Hey all, just a quick extra render to close out the month. This is a wallpaper conversion of Mansion Incident with adjusted lighting, post-processing, and scene materials.
