Pics 191: In the Mood to Render (Patreon)

I posted this picture already online. It's a render I made this week for Date Ariane 2. With the Remastered version, I created a lot of foreground pictures of Ariane with blank backgrounds to use throughout the game. A lot of these are color corrected by the game, lowering brightness and contrast when you move from indoors to out. I managed to make new versions of around 136 of these foregrounds.The above is the new "stop there" pose that Ariane does when you ask or do things she doesn't like. I replaced the invisible background with a yellow HDRI to get this still. It so fits the mood I've been feeling with what's going on in my country the last couple of weeks. Anyways, I felt like making more "mood" pictures to make me feel better. Here's a test picture I made for Dating in a World on Fire of Alex and their partner Harry, who you meet if you went to the River Walk path in Chapter 1. Spoiler: They're a couple of underground hackers who met in London but now live in Haven in the bar basement. Still writing their story, but I like thinking about what these two are really up to.

Been thinking about my public "Picture of the Week" and I'm not ready to release new chapter 2 DiaWoF pictures or Date Ariane 2 picture until closer to release, which is months away. So I made some random pictures for fun using DAZ resources I haven't used yet. These will likely be the pictures for February, so you get to see them first.As for February goals, I'm working on DA2 again this month. I want to do all the "pre-dinner" stuff, and if I have time, the dinners themselves. Hopefully I'll be in the mood for writing, so I can work on DiaWof chapter 2 stuff for March.
