Hello.
As a certain Jester once said, "Welcome to Hell!"
Only kidding.
So, I write (not much - Mostly Haiku), draw (not often), and do 3D - Which is a lot more than when I was first here quite a few moon cycles ago.
I also use a Wacom drawing tablet now (no more paper and pen/pencil for me - Which is good really as Nevan is obsessed with chasing paper
).
I've also drifted into using music apps - They just prove that I have no musicality and am totally tone deaf (so it's probably a good thing that I never learned to play the ukulele).
The 3D programs that I use are:
Daz Studio
Blender
Qixel Mixer (learning)
2D programs:
Paint .net
Krita
Aseprite
GIMP
Spritemancer (learning)
Music :
1BITDRAGON
Mixcraft 8
Let's kick off with some Devil May Cry works on DeviantArt**:
Nite and Vergil - Forever Entwined - A render which won an art contest on DeviantArt. There's is a little story that goes with it (in the post's notes). Rendered in 3Delight
Nite & Vergil - Underneath the Mistletoe - My Christmas DeviantArt avatar
Filatoon: Urizen - Your new God - Rendered in Daz Studio using Toon Shaders and the Filatoon render engine
Vergil's New Friend - Old clay piece, older drawing.
Vergil Chibi Head - Drawing in Krita
DMC4 - Lady Render - Old render in Daz Studio using a plugin called "Reality"
Nevan - Render - Character morphs created by me. I know her skin probably isn't the right colour (if anyone does know, could you please let me know? Thanks). Rendered in Daz Studio (Iray.
Valentine's Day - Kyrie & Nero - Rendered in Daz Studio (Iray)
Nico - Rendered - Rendered in Daz Studio (using the Filament Engine). Character not converted by me.
DMC4 - Dante Render - Rendered in Blender a long time ago.
DMC4 - Dante v2 - Same render. But filtered through a program which makes bits of images glow (which I no longer have).
Finished Trish Morph - A head morph of Trish that I created for Daz Studio in Blender. Lost (along with over a 1TB's worth of Daz content - Mostly made by me) during a file transfer at a PC repair shop.
DmC Vergil - Another creation that was lost in that "data transfer". Thankfully, the morphs were made by TritiumCG on DeviantArt (for my Birthday, a few years ago), so I've always got access to it. But the skin (and their settings) are gone.
DmC Vergil - Render - An actual render of the Vergil morph (in Iray). I had only converted the hair and amulet at the time. Again - Lost to the "data transfer".
Fortuna Alley - Ironic that the scene I hate in DMC4SE, has one of the best views (imo). I'm still trying to convert it (with decent texture maps) for use in Daz Studio.
3D Print:
DMC2 Coin - Scaled to the size of Dante's coin in the game. It's painted, and has a place in my main collection.
Here's a link to the coin on CULTS which is free (but you have to sign up for an account): CULTS: DMC2 Coin
Just for nightmares:
Gravity Exploded V's Face - Daz Studio has a gravity engine called dForce. I was meant to add dForce to the silk sheet covering V... However I ended up dForcing his face
Sweet Dreams, everyone - lol
**Disclaimer/Warning: I want to be honest about this. But if you go looking through my DeviantArt account, you might come across AI images (they have been labelled as so). While I know that this is controversial. I wouldn't have got back into art (after I lost my Mum) if it hadn't been for AI.
Plus, I have had art scraped for training AI. While that doesn't make what I've done any better, I don't feel like I can be against it. I'm a hypocrite about a few things - Just not this.
The most that I use AI for now is getting badges on DeviantArt (Dreamup sucks - Then again it was trained on a few pieces of my work, so - lol), and ChatGPT for brainstorming.
