WIPs and Upcoming Render Ideas

Hey all; hope you've been doing well since my last post :)Since I published A Survivor Is Born a week~ ago, I've been having to use my free time to catch up on some personal obligations.

"Longing" Release

Hey all :)Today I have for you a render I've been wanting to make for awhile, featuring Aerith Gainsborough from FF7. This concept was inspired by the Gold Saucer date from the OG game.

"Those Who Fight Further" Tifa Model-Swap Full FF7 Outfit Variant

Hey all :)The previous Tifa render turned out to be extremely popular, and I received numerous requests to make a full outfit version. It was a great opportunity to practice my clothes sculpting, as Tifa's outfit needed a ton of fixes, so I decided to go for it. That's also why the delay between this version an...

"Those Who Fight Further" Tifa Model-Swap Release

Hey all :)Today I have for you a quick model-swap variant of Those Who Fight Further, using the bonus angle (which I ended up liking more than the original/main angle) and replacing Jessie Rasberry with Tifa Lockhart.

I'm Still Alive! Quick Update and What's Next

"Those Who Fight Further" Bonus Angle Release

Hey all :)Just wanted to share a quick bonus angle with you from Those Who Fight Further.

I f...

Reupload of "Gathering Storm" VS Screen Variants

Hey all :)I've been feeling a bit under the weather since the recent update, so I haven't worked on any Jessie ideas yet, but I haven't been entirely unproductive! I went back and re-did the post-processing on an older work, the VS screen variants of Gathering Storm, so that the files are now properly compr...

Update + Couple Bonus Variants of Recent Renders

Hey all!Hope you've been doing well since the release of CR0FT 4 of and its variants.

Next Render Idea and Thoughts on Future Projects

Hey all :)After a bit of though, I've decided for my next render I'd like to try and do something with Lara Croft of Tomb Raider fame.

Hey all :)Here's the final render I teased a few day ago! This release includes a few variants as well, as I mentioned I was considering doing. In total, there's four versions: V's outfit (lit), V's outfit (neon silhouette), an alt outfit I threw together because I liked how it looked, and classic full ...

Quick Teaser WIP

Hey all :)I decided to take a small break from the RE content and make a Cyberpunk wallpaper for my next render. I hadn't really planned on doing this; it was just kinda an impulse decision and the inspiration was there, so I decided to go with it.Here's a quick silhouetted teaser of what the final render will ...
