• Obmunjalae Kitchen

    The Obmunjalae has four kitchens, two for each dining area. Each kitchen has three cooking ranges with a nearby preparation table and waste bin for each station. There are two more prep tables in the other part of the room for non-cooked items. There is also a dumbwaiter against the wall that connects to a cold storage room on the floor below.

    The kitchen staff utilizes magically summoned cooking utensils in lieu of having permanent ones. The stands in front of each prep table hold token books with “recipe tokens” which are used to summon the instructions and needed tools to create a dish. The staff can prepare, cook, and serve the food, then afterwards simply dispel the magically generated items. No cleaning necessary!

  • Woklah and Eleru

    Woklah and Eleru are two of the three members of an elite House of the Shield crew, with a third member, Adri the avian grepir, not pictured here. They were assigned to join another crew for the special assignment of attacking the island of Lukaudalin in an effort to free the western half from the “Poison” hessai entity that consumed the entire landmass.

  • Red Triplets – Eclipse

  • A Little Let Down

    Sparky, doing some inter-dimensional tourism, got an offer from Yezukh’ay to meet Lukaud while they changed into their female gwil aspect. They mentioned the lurin wouldn’t be wearing any clothes when they exited their nest sphere, which predictably caught Sparky’s attention. Yezukh’ay didn’t mention that Lukaud’s gwil form intentionally lacked some details, and also found his attempt to conceal his disappointment hilarious.

  • Lukaud’s Gwil Aspect

    I made some updates to Lukaud’s gwil aspect, including some new patterns, pockets, and some divisions on the chest of their outfit, as well as new spots on their feet.

  • Gardening

    Gardening season is still a ways away, but I wound up setting up a scene with some characters doing some spring prepping. The stage is based on my actual backyard garden.

  • 3D Character Models 2025

    I skipped making one of these last year. It’s getting a bit crowded in there. I had to run multiple renders (left/right sides) so Blender didn’t run out of GPU memory.

  • Nemi, the Beast of Oblivion’s Claw

    Building off the updates to the Red Triplets work from the previous update, here is a new addition to this group. Though the central characters of the story are known as the Red Triplets, they are actually part of a set of sixteen. Like Bayzil, a few of the other members have an additional curse upon them. Nemi is one of those, which manifests as a physical corruption that begins in her left hand and eventually works down her arm. Ultimately, the infection becomes fatal. In one life, she attempted to subvert the curse by amputating her arm, but the curse’s presence stayed linked to the rest of her body and still infected her.

    In her next life, she got help to contain the curse’s presence in an orb. She still had to have her lower arm amputated, but an artificial arm was crafted to hold the orb and this contained the curse.

    Now, there is another element to this curse, and it has given Nemi a title of the “‘Beast of Oblivion’s Claw”. She can summon up three parallel magical blades from her cursed hand that can cut though any matter like it was moving through air. Using the claws causes the curse’s corruption to accelerate, so she is limited to how often she can use them. With the containing orb, this no longer endangers her life, but she does eventually have to purge the poison from the relic lest it burst.

  • Baku’s updated back markings

    The Red Triplets previously had a lazily applied CSD sigil marking at the center of their backs. Even earlier on, that mark looked like the number 8 inside a circle, which may have been the result of even lazier mirroring. Last year, I made a wall decoration which stylized the CSD sigil to resemble two tails. I have now applied that design to the mark on their back. During the process, I also performed some cleanup on the body texture, including combining three separate images into one.

  • Obmunjalae – Stairs

    The latest addition to the Obmunjalae: stairs that run from the base deck of the oben all the way up to the center of the pri-ben. These provide vertical traversal in case of an emergency, or an alternate path through the seven floors for those who seek a bit of exercise.

    In the oben, the stairs have a utilitarian design that snakes up from the sides to the fourth floor catwalks. Just above the large ceiling logo, the base of the fancier stairwell for the upper floors begins.

    That stairwell then reaches up to the middle of the pri-ben.

    This leaves the 2nd and 3rd floors as areas that can only be accessed via elevators. Space is a bit tighter in that section, so any stairway spot will have to be carefully planned out.
