Silo 11
The classic, star-wars-inspired tactic of landing with your drop-ramp towards the enemy so that your infantry can come under fire as soon as they get out of their seats.
Silo 9
Check out the original badges. I hadn't realised I could make my own uniform textures in GIMP, so at this point, everyone had a prop badge made from a re-textured ear-ring that looked sort-of like a crest.
Silo 4
Check out the kit-bashed barracks! Those are the widest beds you've ever seen in a military establishment. And where are the hospital corners?
Silo 2
Boring exposition dump. Nothing to see here.
Angel Corps: The Silo -1
I'm going to be posting all the old Angel Corps stories over the next few months, and I'm starting with the first. 3DL, Victoria 4 characters, continuity errors and hand-drawn weapon and blood effects: Here we go!
Elves vs Goblins 4
Argumentative and foul tempered, Goblins are little better than a plague; a corruption which spreads freely and despoils whatever it touches. Oblivious to their Elven watchers, they shriek and squabble, surrounded by the ruins of the once proud forest and indifferent to the beauty they have spoiled. Where there is one ...
Elves Vs Goblins 3
Ahead of them, where only trees should stand, a muddy wasteland stretches. Ripped from their places or shorn off at the roots, the sacred trees of the ancient forest have been dragged down and slaughtered; hacked into pieces for firewood by vile Goblins. Even now, the squalid little creatures are hard at work, butcheri...
Elves vs Goblins 2
Sioned drops swiftly into cover, her lip already curling with disgust. Following on, her younger kinswoman Aeronwen ducks down and hurries to join her. They have found what they are looking for.They have found the source of the forest's ire. The stink of charred wood and the rich scent of upturned earth catches the...
Elves vs Goblins 1
In the ancient forest of Loren, something is wrong: The woodland spirits are angry and resentful. As they stalk the forest floor, the two Elven scouts can feel the brooding anger of the trees; the slow, smouldering hatred of all quick-blooded life that that comes to the fore whenever the forest feels aggrieved.They fee...
How to disable E-mail updates
After an aggrieved bit of user feed-back, I'm just going to draw everyone's attention to the fact that you can disable e-mail notifications through the Settings tab. I tend to log in during the evening when I've got some guaranteed spare time, and spam a load of posts in one go. I appreciate that by default...
Scene 8
It's a good job there weren't just seven of them...
Scene 7
Standing in the middle of the street has worked out exactly as well as you'd have expected it to...
Foreshadowing
If you're a student of fiction writing, you'll know that foreshadowing is when an author drops in a seemingly unimportant detail which will later turn out to be crucial to the plot. It helps to avoid the cliche known as the 'deus ex machina', whereby a seemingly intractable problem is abruptly solved by...
Leafguard
First scene for December! I'll be posting the first few slides of my Elves vs Goblins story shortly: These girls will show up for a bit part in it. I imagined them as a sort of spear-militia: Made up of the youngest, poorest Elves, and only used for holding a battle-line in emergencies.
Ground Fight 2
I think this one works better: It looks more like she's been forced to the ground by one of them, while a second goes in for the kill.
Ground Fight 1
I like this pose, but I don't think it'll get used: It doesn't quite fit the narrative of the Elves fighting through the gateway and driving the Goblins back despite their greater numbers. It doesn't make sense that the Goblins have time to finish off a fighter like this while the battle goes on around ...
Pile-On Alt View
An alternate view of the pile-on, which I might end up going with. You see less of the Knight, but it better emphasises the sense of brutal, reckless, comically incompetent teamwork I want from the Goblins.
Pile On
Having been dump-tackled to the ground, this Knight gets the inevitable follow-up blow from the halberd Goblin, while the others end up falling on top of her.
Dirty Fighters
I'm working on the combat in the gate still.One of the things I'm trying to make really obvious is that the Elves, one-on-one, are more than a match for a Goblin- but- the Goblins are all dirty little bastards who refuse to fight fair.
Coming up for December
OK, so the poll has the rest of the next month to run, but my main take-away is that the most popular story on my site is the one I've not published yet...To that end then, I'll still be publishing one new, exclusive bit of artwork each week, usually on or around Monday, and that will be for Tier 1 and 2 member...
Re-booted (literally)
I got really into this...
Angel Elites
Classic V4 Elites, with the old zip-up suit that I was never able to replace!
Moon landing
Newer Iray work- I think I planned to put some more figures in the background, but I ended up disliking the look of the terrain. Too bright.
