	  	  <![CDATA[Well now, I'm just going to skip over how much later this image got finished than I expected.  It's about time we got some Lana around here, IMO.  The image is square to serve as iPad wallpaper. :)

One of the things taking up my time has been Star Wars The Old Republic.  Even as it's gone from being the new hotness to a pariah of much of the MMO and game playing community, I've been enjoying my time playing as Da'ru, Jedi Sage healer extraordinaire. :)  As many of you well know, Daru originated as my Star Wars Galaxies Jump to Lightspeed beta character, and this has been my opportunity to bring her back to life in a way.

Here's a screenshot of Da'ru, maybe an ancestor of Daru, along with her (NPC) padawan, Nadia Grell:

Anyways, more render goodness to come in the future. I'm not done yet!

And thank you guys for the birthday well wishes. :)]]></description>

	  	  &lt;img src="https://www.radiantcg.com/gallery/.HiRes/thumb/Ciel-Holo-Cam-Tn.jpg" alt="The Holo You've Been Waiting For"/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	  	  <![CDATA[I realize it's been a very long time since I've posted anything, so I wanted to make this something special.  The idea that I hope came across here is that Ciel is holding a holocam and recording a special message to you.

I wanted to get this out for Valentine's Day, but the technical aspects just wouldn't cooperate.

Depth of Field is EXPENSIVE to render, especially when combined with transparency and refraction.  I hope you enjoy the fancy effects.  It tied up my computer for 20 hours, and because of that the hi-res version is only 1920x1200 this time.  I tried to go higher but my time estimates were in the hundreds of hours mark.

For those of you wondering where I've been, I've been playing this little game called Star Wars The Old Republic that you might have heard of.  Maybe I'll post a screenshot soon with more info.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this.  I've also included in the download a clean version w/o the camera elements, thus so:

	  	  <![CDATA[Wow!  This took 23 hours of texture work over the past four days.  I spent every waking hour outside of work trying to learn how to work with texture maps with stretched UVs and crazy seams.

Luckily I had purchased a tool a couple years ago when I was creating Tyrena that I never really got the hang of.  It became indispensible, limitations, lack of personal skill, and all.

Every tattoo pattern you see here was created by me in Photoshop and applied to Daru.  There are 16 unique tattoo patterns in all.  I hoped to have more, but I was running out of time and ideas, so there are a few repeats if you look closely enough.

I realize they aren't perfect, but well, time's up!

Happy Halloween, everybody!  I hope you enjoy seeing the darker side of Daru.

Tomorrow I plan to post a &quot;Behind the Scenes&quot; image showing just how Daru got this way.]]></description>

      <title>Daru's Birthday Finest</title>

	  	  <![CDATA[Alright, made it in time!  This image again uses IBL, but in a different way than in the previous Oola render.

I only had two days to work on this, so I went back to one of my favorite poses drawn up by J Scott Campbell (smaller thumbnail to come):

&lt;object width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;754&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://backend.deviantart.com/embed/view.swf&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;flashvars&quot; value=&quot;id=79072426&amp;width=1337&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://backend.deviantart.com/embed/view.swf&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;754&quot; flashvars=&quot;id=79072426&amp;width=1337&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://J-Scott-Campbell.deviantart.com/art/Slave-Leia-Christy-1-79072426&quot;&gt;Slave Leia Christy 1&lt;/a&gt; by ~&lt;a class=&quot;u&quot; href=&quot;http://j-scott-campbell.deviantart.com/&quot;&gt;J-Scott-Campbell&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.deviantart.com&quot;&gt;deviantART&lt;/a&gt;

I spent a lot of time on this improving Daru's musculature.  It's really started to get to me how V3's arms are just narrow tubes, so I started putting some V3 muscle morphs into her that I've only used once before.  I think the result is a lot more natural looking.  I kind of liked the way she looked with a little more applied, but I didn't want to scare anyone off with an Amazon woman or change her apperaance too much too quickly.

That said, there have been some tweaks here and there to Daru over the past couple renders.  Have you noticed?  Would any of you like to see an alternate, more toned version that I was considering?

Anyways, here's Daru as best as I can make her look.

I'm another year older. Happy Birthday to me. :)]]></description>

	  	  <![CDATA[Hey there!

I know it's been a while again.  Remember when I posted the last image, Beautiful Power, and I said I had a different image I had been working on before I built a new computer?  Well, this is what it turned into!

This render was done with IBL (Image Based Lighting), something I'd like to experiment more with.  I've never particularly been happy with the results I've gotten out of it, but I don't think too badly on this one.

With any luck, my next update should come on Monday for my birthday!

&lt;i&gt;Yes, the reflection has errors, don't look too closely.&lt;/i&gt;]]></description>

	  	  <![CDATA[Long time no post, eh?

I built a new computer last week and it has the ability to set a custom boot logo.  I thought a while and wondered what I had that I could use as a great boot screen, then I had an idea to do something new, and I ended up with this.  The idea is that the circuitry lights up and begins to take shape, eventually resolving into Daru, eyes aglow with power.  I thought about trying to animate it somehow, and I still might try something simple with it.

I know some of you out there might be saying &quot;Daru again?!&quot;, but hey this is my show and it's my computer! XD  Rendering on it is significantly faster than my old one, which means faster turnaround times and/or fancier effects.

I originally planned to have something about a week ago, but I built a new computer and had some problems with it.  The upside is, I made this render, and it's not the one I previously had planned - that one will still come.  I can tell you that it features Oola, someone who's not appeared here in quite some time.  I'm also tossing around ideas for Ciel in my next planned image after that.

Thanks for looking and especially for those leaving comments!

&lt;i&gt;For the curious, specs on my new computer are:
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-V Pro
CPU: 3.4GHz Core i7 2600K (overclocked to 4.2GHz at the moment) w/ Corsair H60 water cooler
RAM: 16GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz
Graphics: 1GB GeForce 460 GTX
Still to come: Solid State Drive
&lt;/i&gt;]]></description>
