A while ago I posted a couple of images of Candy/Duster in Stonemason's beautiful Venezia Suite digital set. One featured Candy alone (and in my previous blog post I shared a variation of that one), while the other one had Bill in the background. Of course that set is so gorgeous that I'm going to keep returning to it.
Which is what I have done here. Bill's a healthy, red-blooded young man, and a guy like that can only gaze upon Candy's voluptuous form in that revealing baby doll for so long before he just has to do something about it. Not that she minds; she possesses a high-level of vigour and similarly-coloured corpuscles, after all. I went through my pose collection, focusing on the section innocently titled "Interacting Figures" and found a really hot pose for V6/M6. I customized it a little (expressions, Candy clawing at one breast, shifting some of her hair into her face).
As you might know, Candy is a highly-customized version of Victoria 6 (so customized that Olympia 6 poses sometimes suit her better), while Bill started out as a Michael 6 figure. One thing I often have to do with Candy/Duster in these poses where she interacts with another figure (or with a prop) is change her scale from its customized 96% to her default 100%. The poses are designed with figures at their default size, so by returning her to that dimension I don't have to spend nearly as much time fine-tuning her pose.
Bill is also larger than the default Michael 6. To get him to the 6' 3" height I ascribe to him in my fiction I have to dial up his scale to 106.5% in Daz Studio. This means when I put him and Candy together there's a significant height difference, which I really like; I think it emphasizes her femininity and his masculinity. As you might expect sometimes I have to change his scale back to the default 100% so he works with poses like this. Amazingly, not this time. With Candy at 100%, they fit together perfectly. And yes I mean that in every sense of the word. I quite like how this turned out and may do more images of their vacation in Venice... during which they rarely got out of that hotel room.
Now for some recent tests and experiments.
I recently introduced a new nemesis for Duster: Colonel Chaos I call him. Ex-military gone bad. I don't think I'll give him superpowers. For background I'm thinking he's become a mercenary, a soldier-of-fortune currently employed by the Syndicate, thus setting him at odds with superheroines everywhere. I wanted to give him a very rough, menacing, battle-hardened look. This guy's seen some shit (with that one good eye), but more to the point, he did a lot of that shit. And slept like a baby afterwards. I think his concept syncs nicely with Mindless Entertainment/Anti-Leaf's villain, The General.
I also recently added SouthBlade's OC (and frequently luckless) heroine Solstice to my roster in a pinup and a peril image. I thought this might be a good place to share the test renders I created for the character.
Here's another test image I don't think I've shared before: my friend and collaborator EXitZero's OC heroine Flechette (who is featured in my novella Flechette: Mesmerized, available at Smashwords and Amazon) as well as a recent artwork series I used to promote that book:
And here are two figures I recently added to my content library: Natasha and Sheryl. The former became the basis for my version of Cracovia's Fenrir agent Chimaera, while the latter I used to create Doctor-Awkward's bodacious punk-turned-heroine Vigor.
On to the fashion show!
First off let's focus on the world of work. Here's Candy in a sexy pizza girl outfit. I think I should dress up someone in this costume and have her chloroform, kidnap, and tie up PizzaNerd1, don't you? Turnabout is fair play, after all.
The other outfit is called "Job Interview". I'd say she's qualified for just about any position she wants... heh heh... position, get it? Huh? HUH?
Yeah okay.
Now for some costumes I think could work for either a new superheroine or supervillainess. Feel free to contribute ideas, here or back at Deviant Art.
And last but not least, some sexy lingerie and dresses.
And that's it for this blog post!
Awesome Blog post.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Venice work, good to see more of Duster undercover wardrobe.
