Things I've made

Close-up 3D render of a male charr with brown fur and a red eye patch, proudly showing off a steel medal. The text on the medal reads "Snow Warband XVI" and "Blood Legion".

A proud legionnaire showing off a medal for the warband’s actions during the Maguuma campaign. I designed this as a coin (like the Ash Legion coin from day 1), but I guess calling it a medal makes more sense. I also designed a back side but couldn’t figure out a good way to show it here, so I’ll do that in a later scene.

Charrtober VII: EAR

3D render of a male charr in black shorts and a red tank top, listening intently at a half-closed door. Warm light is coming out of he door, illuminating him, while the rest of the scene is relatively dark.

“Eavesdropping? It’s called gathering intelligence.” Crucial intelligence, such as which Wintersday present the warband is getting for him this year.

Charrtober VI: SNEAK

3D render of a charr in a dense forest, almost hidden between the foliage. He's holding a spear and looks like he's stalking something - or someone.

Kicking in the front door may be the most fun, but it’s not always the wisest plan of attack. Featuring Kianga’s new weapon, Reavor: A gunspear (yes, you read that right) designed by fellow 3D artist Haruka Emberfall. This was a total surprise to me - thank you, Haru! Don’t worry, you’ll get to see the weapon in more detail in upcoming scenes.

Charrtober V: RUTHLESSNESS

3D render of a male charr, shirtless, with his back turned to the viewer. He's only a dark silhouette against a deep red background, but his pose looks angry.

Even a charr can show compassion, but never mistake it for weakness or you’ll get to see my other side. I struggled a bit with finding a suitable scene that wouldn’t require a second character, which I don’t have yet. But I never did a back view with Kianga before, so here we go.

Mrow?

Kianga STOP this is not how a warrior– no, we are NOT going to play with a ball of yarn.

Charrtober IV: APPLES

3D render of a male charr holding a red apple in his right hand, carved with an image of Tybalt Leftpaw and two hearts. The background is an abstract green.

Never forget. Kianga may be great at carving up monsters, but carving apples… not so much.

Charrtober III: DISCIPLINE

3D render of a male charr with brown fur sitting at a table late at night. He's writing a handwritten report on a piece of parchment, pencil in one hand, the other hand on his forehead in frustration, a steel mug next to him. His expression says he'd rather be fighting a dragon right now.
The text on the parchment is intentionally hard to read, but it says: "Mission Report. To: Tarra Shieldcrush, Centurion. From: Kianga Snowstorm, Legionnaire, Snow Warband XVI. We killed some bad guys. I hope they were bad, anyway. Please send more cake. If you can read this, you are awesome."

A legionnaire’s duties do not end when the day’s fighting is over. When the warband’s asleep, he goes to fight his next battle: paperwork. Very happy with the mood in this one. Yes, that’s my own handwriting. It’s not significantly better than a charr’s.

Charrtober II: BOOK

3D render of a male charr with brown fur in a red tank top and black pants. He's holding a large book titled "The Art of War" with both of his hands and looks like he's about to smack someone with it. The background is a simple dark grey floor and a yellow wall.

“What did that human say, the book is mightier than the sword? Or was it the pen? Oh, whatever.” Kianga is not entirely convinced, but he’s willing to try.

You're Late

“You’re late.” (A Blood Legion soldier is never late. He arrives precisely when he’s meant to.)

Charrtober I: ASH

3D render of two large steel coins, one showing the Ash Legion emblem (a swirly 8-sided star shape) on the front, the other showing the charr gear emblem on the back. They're lying on a grey checkerboard surface, with slightly purple-ish light.

So I thought, let’s make an Ash Legion coin! How hard can it be? Three hours later…

WTF?!

Ordered cake. Didn’t realize it was an Asuran bakery. I went with a simpler background this time, hope you like it anyway! The cake was delicious, by the way, just not very… filling.

Drunk

“Kianga, didn’t your primus ever tell you not to stand on chairs?” “W-why would he do that… (hic)” It takes a lot to get Kianga drunk, but it’s usually great entertainment for his warband.

Fall of Ascalon

I wanted to create a peaceful scene for a change, and what’s better than Ascalon with its beautiful fall colors? Had to cut some corners with textures so this wouldn’t take me another week, but I’m happy with the result. Hope you’re enjoying the season as much as Kianga here!

Chocolate Cake Challenge

For our warband’s sixth anniversary they surprised me with not one but six chocolate cakes. On the condition that I could hold them all. For one minute. Hah, the things I do for chocolate cake! Next year I could get into trouble though… Actually it’s not his birthday, but the anniversary of Snow Warband’s reassignment to their current centurion, after the… incident with the previous one.

Birthday Cake for Haru

Centurion, please have one of my giant chocolate cakes - and my best wishes! I’d eat that cake quickly. The way he stares at it, it might not survive for long. I also made him a casual/training outfit, can’t congratulate a centurion while wearing nothing but a loincloth…

Combat Pose

“Come on, let’s have a little fight!” Just a quick practice with a combat pose and three-point lighting. I’ve been working on the rig for my model, making it easier to control the eyes and paws.

Champion of the Bane

Every charr’s got their own way of blowing off steam after a long week: Shooting things, building war machines, or, you know… wrestling giant devourers in the Bane. I felt like creating an environment for a change, after working on that charr model for months. Needless to say, this ended up being a little more work than I had planned.

You Got a Problem?

Ever wondered what Blood Legion wears under that heavy armor? Now you know. This is a first 3D render of my fully textured charr model - including a custom eye patch and a Blood Legion issue loincloth. (I know, very subtle.)

River

3D render of an anthropomorphic black-backed jackal in a cartoony style, pointing at something just to the right of the viewer. He has bright blue eyes and is wearing a short dark purple tunic and a black utility belt with a hunting knife.

3D model of River, an anthro jackal for a game project, based on a character design by Temiree.

Blender Donut

My very first Blender project was, of course, the donut from the popular Blender Guru tutorial I found the original scene in one of my backups and rendered it again with the current Blender version (2.90.1). (My donut had to be chocolate, of course.)

Cyklus

Cyklus was a watch face for Android Wear with a clean, minimalistic design. Instead of a typical 12-hour analog clock it would show a ring for an entire 24-hour period, along with markers for sunrise/sunset, weather, alarms, and calendar events.
