Linaara Chamber 28

In this life uncertaintity is the rule. Let's rejoice, then, at the posting of image 28. At last completing the chain that had been broken. Finally reconnecting the narrative flow that had been shattered. Nothing stands now in the path of this series towards its inevitable apotheosis.

Linaara Chamber 27

Rescued from the time vortex where they had apparently disappeared here are the missing pictures. Better late and out of order than never, I say!

Linaara Chamber 29

Is this the end of Linaara's suffering?

Merry Xmas everyone!

Survived a devastating flu *just* in time for the traditional seasonal card.

More experimentation. This system works a lot better because while it's still added on postproduction it's based on a render pass that catches the real highlights and shadows of the scene.

Mamba 03 - Most Dangerous Prey 010

Here's page 010 and an attached zip file with the original clean images.

Looks like Mamba is going to see a show whether she wants to or not.

(oh, and again I've fixed another error in page 7, which now is uploaded and mistake-free)

(unless you consider existence itself a mistake created by mad gods that laugh and cry beyond space and time, that is)

Mamba 03 - Most Dangerous Prey 007 Fixed

I've reuploaded the page with the correct spelling of "business". Comments on spelling or grammatical errors are not just welcomed but VERY welcomed.

Mamba 03 - Most Dangerous Prey 009

Here's page 009 and an attached zip file with the original clean images.

(yes, I know, no peep show on Earth works on 25c coins, chalk it to a nostalgic use of textures from arcade cabinets)

(also, yes, always a fan of the lighting setup of the hotel room sequence at the end of 2001 a Space Odyssey)

Mamba 03 - Most Dangerous Prey 008

Here's page 008 and an attached zip file with the original clean images.

Mamba is the archetypical tough cop but I wanted to show a moment where she overcomes an obstacle not using force but her badge. Besides, the bouncer hasn't commited any crime.

So far...

Mamba 03 - Most Dangerous Prey 007 (fixed)

Here's page 007 and an attached zip file with the original clean images.

In my experience the trick to make it past the door bouncer is to have a friend bouncer on your group. It's a free pass.

Mamba 03 - Most Dangerous Prey 006

Here's page 006 and an attached zip file with the original clean images.

You don't know how hard is to find a nice matchbook model until you need one and end up having to model it yourself (but only after managing to find out the damned thing is called "matchbook" in English).

Yeah, objects are important to the plot, you could say this is a hitchcockian story :)

Nielsen Noir 05

(reminder that this series is Patreon-exclusive, I'm not posting the usual lower res version on my social media accounts)

Nielsen Noir 04

No need of an explanatory text, is there?

Nielsen Noir 03

No experiment here, just some good 'ol nailing.

Nielsen Noir 02

I've been busy trying to develop a new, better technique to display gunk using layers rendered on the scene and thus using its volume and light values. Cpatain Nielsen happens to be on the receiving end fo the experiment.

Mamba 03 - Most Dangerous Prey 005

Here's page 007 and an attached zip file with the original clean images plus an alternate shot.

Looks like Mamba's ordeal has been for nothing. Well, at least Doctor Holland will pay for her despicable acts, will she?

Mamba 03 - Most Dangerous Prey 004

Here's page 007 and an attached zip file with the original clean images.

(here comes the classic 80s tough cop vs criminal boss post shoot out confrontation)

Mamba 03 - Most Dangerous Prey 003

Here's page 002 and an attached zip file with the original clean images plusn two unused ones.

Mamba 03 - Most Dangerous Prey 002

Here's page 002 and an attached zip file with the original clean images.

If you compare this sequence with the one in Dangerous Hunt you'll see I'm using the same enviroment and some of the same models but in order to make it interesting I've changed the "action" itself. Sort of what the first ten minutes of Evil Dead 2 do with Evil Dead.

Mamba 03 - Most Dangerous Prey Cover

And here's the cover. There aren't iconic "humans as prey" movie posters beyond Hard Target so I had to homage an action classic (yes, there is Predator and Without Warning, but in those cases the hunters aren't human).

Mamba 03 - Most Dangerous Prey 001

Here it is at last. The long awaited sequel to Mamba: Dangerous Hunt.

Oh, come on, guys, *someone* must have been waiting for it, right? RIGHT?

(you haven't read M:DH? Fear not, the story starts with a nice recap)

(the cover will be posted tomorrow, it took some time to find a good reference)

Nielsen Noir 01

By popular demand, Captain Nielsen's model has been updated.  With all the future possibilities that fact implies...

Recently, due to a confluence of delays and preproduction work, I've been posting much less low tier posts than I should have. I'll make up for it with extra content as soon as the next serial is up and running (that is, later today). Beginning with this Patreon exlcus...

Gothburg 01 95

Here's page 095 and an attached zip file with the original clean images.

And that's all she wrote for our favorite Gothburg commissioner. Will Yendley recover from this ordeal and once again patrol the streets of the city?

Oh please, of course she will!

Gothburg 01 94

Here's page 094 and an attached zip file with the original clean images.

To the last drop.

Gothburg 01 93

Here's page 093 and an attached zip file with the original clean images.

This is what a broken commissioner looks like.

Gothburg 01 92

Here's page 092 and an attached zip file with the original clean images plus an unused one.

Creator Commentary Track: if you take a look at the clean image filenames you'll get an idea of how much these last two chapters have evolved.

Gothburg 01 91

Here's page 091 and an attached zip file with the original clean images plus an unused one.

The end is NIGH!

Linaara Chamber 26

Meanwhile, back in Infinitum...

(before returning to Gothburg tomorrow)

Gothburg 01 90

Here's page 090 and an attached zip file with the original clean images.

One last time with (hard) feeling!

Gothburg 01 89

Here's page 089 and an attached zip file with the original clean images.

There has been a change in plans. The ending of the story was too sudden, I don't think there was enough pay off for what it was builiding to. So inestad of two additional pages to this chapter there will be another, final five pages chapter.
