Jennifer was so excited to meet the famous investigator/explorer Amanda Jones, and so stayed behind after the lecture. She just wanted to ask question after question about Amanda's adventures. It became apparent that she was consdering a trip to the Peruvian jungle to look for Inca Gold. Amanda immediately became worried that this was no kind of expedition for an inexperienced...

Back to 3D art at last, and over the last week I have installed a whole host of new clothes and made some new outfits (plus an old familiar one). I will be showing these off over the next couple of days. I know it also seems like I have been doing nothing but I have actually been working in the background to make a whole load of Genesis 8 knocked out poses, both single and dual char...

I can't stop making new characters. I got up today then worked 9 hours straight on building my favourite X-Men heroine, with Genesis 8. She's an extremely difficult character to build. Everything you see is customised from bits of things. You can't just buy the outfit off the shelf like this.
She's very much a work in progress still but I wasn't stopping until I up...

I've posted shockingly little this month (blame Jennifer, the Euro 2020 and a lot of beer) so let's try to rectify that before you all cancel your pledges.
Here's a couple of Amanda's red TNS outfit that I did early on this month while I was seeking to perfect it. I have been looking far and wide for a pair of long lace-up boots to suit the outfit like the ones she had as a Victoria...

She's got it! Long hair is still difficult to play around with but all the more rewarding when it works.
Initial reaction to Jennifer's debut was, shall we say, polite but a little muted, so here's another look at the little sexpot displaying her qualities - both of her qualities.
I am such a big fan of what the designers did with this base model. It's like her fac...

So, this is the secret new girl who's been stealing all of my time.
Firstly, I have to give a shout out to my patron and fellow 3D artist JayDeeGee aka OldManJaay, aka whatever his latest name is(!) - anyway you can find him at https://www.deviantart.com/oldmanjaay ... and somewhere on Subscribestar too. H...
2021-06-24 21:25:05 +0000 UTC View PostHello, just checking in to apologise for my lack of uploads for the past couple of weeks. Due to a combination of feeling unwell and also being distracted by the Euro 2020/1 football I haven't had the self-discipline to produce any Patreon-worthy art. I have actually made a new character who I rather fell in love with but all I have so far is rough work, most of which would not meet...

Hi everyone, and thanks for staying with me for another month. I really didn't post as much as I intended to, apologies for that. I had a holiday mid month and then came back to a stack of work. Since then I've had my recurring eye problem back, particularly for the last week, so now I need to go a bit slower and do other things away from the computer until it calms down again...

Hi all, and thanks for your patience. I have had a brief vacation since my last updates, and of course returned to a backlog of work. I've been itching to get back into Daz and this weekend was the first opportunity.
I have a stack of clothes I want to test on Amanda but as usual got sidetracked. I thought we were due a pinup, and so ended up doing this one in her Classi...

...to borrow a phrase from a friend. Messing around in Daz 4 with Amanda's latest outfit. Hope you like. Most images are 4k - be sure to download and or zoom in for details.
I promise to get to office wear soon. I got distracted!

Here's a nice HD closeup so you can see a little more of the textures I slaved over!
Daz 4 really handles the deformation of clothes a lot better. With Amanda's back arched and leg bent in Daz 3 the shirt, shorts and pantyhose could never handle such an extreme pose without ridiculous postwork that would take hours to correct. I thought I would push things to their limits and ...

I was meaning to put together some work/office outfits for Amanda this week but I got sidetracked.
Above is an outfit made this outfit for Amanda 2.0 in late Summer last year, and didn't do much with before I made the move to Daz 4 and Genesis 8. I've now remade it using G8 resources. I wanted to do some opaque pantyhose and I have to say I am very satisfied with how the...

Thanks to those of you who stayed with me again after a bit of a slow month.
One of the things that slowed me down on posting Amanda & The Goblin Castle was the number of different camera angles and tweaks I had done, plus redoing the whole thing again with an improved pantyhose texture. As promised a couple of days ago, here's some more versions - it was actually difficult to p...

The inquisitive young Amanda Jones has unwisely strayed into a goblin castle. Obviously, she didn't know it was a goblin castle until she was surrounded by the little green critters. Unfortunately they couldn't allow to her leave and compromise the secret of their existence. She...

Just throwing this in there! Our guest artist (who is a graphic art professional) wanted to have play around with one of my originals and apply some after effects. Dunno what you think - but I love it!

So it looks like the bad guys had a change of plan and rather than burying Detective Ciara under the foundations, they want to find out what she knows and who she has told about their corrupt activities. Can she hold out? Maybe until backup arrives?

Hello! I held off posting for a few days as our guest artist was working on a follow up to the previous pic (The Gang). Here it is! After being punched out by the crooked construction workers, detective Ciara is carried through the building site to be dumped in a rat-filled hole. As if that's not bad enough, these goons plan to fill the hole with liquid cement! Max...

OK so Ciara somehow survived the Golem and the Ninja but - in what seems to be a recurring theme - her detective snooping has led her straight into another KO blow at the hands of some crooked construction workers!
Hope you're enjoying these as much as I did.

KEEEEEEYAHHHHHH!
Again not much luck for Detective Ciara as she checks out the base of a Triad boss. Can she recover and save herself from a pummeling at the hands (or feet) of this mean looking Ninja guard?
Latest from our guest artist.
UPDATED 26 April with an alternative (awesome) shaded version!
Hi everyone. Sorry the updates have not been flowing over the past week or so. I had some Amanda pics ready to post but on viewing them again I was not happy with them, so am re-rendering now to fix a texture that was bugging me.
In the meantime, I had a lovely email from our guest a...

Sorry it's been a slow week, I got vaccinated and took it easy for a couple of days. I've been using my time to comprehensively go through the possible Fantasy Gear on Daz3d.com. I have enough stuff bookmarked to make her outfit three times over. I had to settle on something.

The very first pictures of Genesis 8 Amanda I posted in January were the ones made in conjunction with Perils Of Dawn for the launch of the CYOA. I hope you enjoyed that by the way.

However there were a whole load of other things I also wanted to try out in Daz 4 and I...

I know I have a sparkling new Genesis 8 Amanda but what with the conversion projects I have been doing recently, 'New Amanda' (my revised V4 version) was crying out for some love.
