Pillagers and Looters.

Long story short. This gnome and I got captured by these pirate. One of the female members of the crew insisted on a "little" help with something and my gnome companion was more than willing. He turned out to be more "handy" than she expected.

Current problem

The current problem I'm having is that in 6.1 they did a face tweak to humans draeneis and others but the modelviewer didn't get the changes. It's frustrating me.

Starting Anew

That was a way longer bit than I had intended on taking, but things are slowly getting underway for me to get back to work. I've been testing and sketching in the mean time to see the changes and how they both help and hinder my process. I still have a lot to test, but I'll try to post some images as I rediscover working with my images.

Taking a brake for a bit.

Been swamped with life lately. From work and family to travel and keeping social with friends. I just don't get the manip as much as I want. Been spending most of my free time relaxing between shifts watching movies or gaming. I've been on the beta posting what problems I see both for the game and from an artists point of view. I may have to revert back to an older method of manipping I had If I want to play with the new faces now.

For now I'm taking some time to do other things and focus on life. We'll see what comes in the future.

A Way with Animals

The night elf had been tracking the orc wench for days. The orc had been the prisoner of this night elf's brother, but the orc proved to be more than capable of escaping than the night elves had imagined. The female elf sentinel tracked her all the way to Pandaria. After braking the orc's will thoroughly the sentinel decided to embarrass the orc further and had the orc's own mount ravage her until satisfied. The sentinel laid back slowly getting excited herself. Once the orc had prepared the beast for her she would have her own fun with it. After all the sentinel did have a way with animals.

Vashj vs Tats

This was by far the hardest Manip I've done yet. The snakes kept getting in the way and the amount of things that went either wrong or got forgotten were way to high. I still forgot some things I'm sure. 

Anyway it was Tats Birthday on the 13th. Happy Birthday buddy! 

This One Time at Tian Monastery

So there I was mindin' my own business when I noticed everyone was passed out but myself and this human girl and one of the Trainees. I don't know if it was the brew or what, but I emerged from my stein and the two of them just started to go at it. So out popped the "Super Snapper FX" and got this beauty.

Then!... I passed out >_<

One for all the Anonymous People :)

 There were a bunch of comments posted on my blog a while back. I decided to combine as many of them into one image and see what I got. I do read comments and enjoy them when they happen. Thank you all very much for them! Cheers everyone!

B&W

An excerpt from something I'm working on.

Home cumming - Topless

Version 2

Home Cumming

When you can't love others, love yourself.

Many things to celebrate. 3 years on darknest, I've made over 300 images (closer to 325 actually), I broke 150 posts on my blog, and I've started up a tumblr for those who prefer that version of interaction/media.

I can honestly say I've learned a lot and am enjoying all the advise lately to help me provide you all with the best manipulations that I can.  :-D

Thanks Everyone for your ongoing support. I can only hope to gain more time to delve deeper into my art and hopefully try some new things alone the way.

P.S. I hope to have so alternate versions of this in the future :)

Amusing Thing Happened When I Was Gone!

So apparently I have a tumblr account because they just wished me a happy THREE YEARS on Tumblr

*shrugs*

who knew.

So for the hell of it I posted all my work and set up this so called tumblr I've always had. O_o

http://castanovas-travels.tumblr.com/

Its now in the side bar under sites as well. Its structured differently right now but it will revert back to a setup like the blogger. I just posted 300+ images in 2 days on there to catch it up so a lot of the stories are at the top of the page. The rest is semi-alphabetical (excluding scraps).

Away For A Bit

I have a wedding to go to. I'll be back in about 11 days. So no art for a bit. I'm going to practice my sketching I hope :).

To The Victor...

Original concept art. I can't seem to find the original site this is from. Or they took it down cause it was to cheeky. I don't know. Copyright Blizzard I assume.

Most of the concept art have orcs that can actually stand straight so it took some figuring, but I finally got everything to fit.

                                                                       SQUIRREL!

Spontaneous Futa

Just a random Image for you. Took a while to figure it all out, but I liked this version best. Originally it was going to be taken from someone else and attached on her, but it didn't look right. Especially since it was blue lol. :)

Young Spectra

I feel like I've been doing a lot of night-elves lately. This is from the new model's they've released. I decided on a younger rendition of Spectra. Spectra is from Geo and the Dragon -http://castanovastravels.blogspot.ca/2014/03/geo-and-dragon.html. and is a corrupted green dragon. This is a time before her corruption.

Rhoswen wolverton, Brungilda and Mortisius (Morty)... TWO

Mangara -page 25 end

This ones been floating around for awhile. I didn't know if I wanted to end it yet, but it was already written. When in doubt go with what you have. I'll probably do some pages here and there but nothing as major as this.

Ysera - A Deal Has Been Made O_O

From darknest:

Demonwing - "amazing picture, but any chance of having one without the cape?"

Castanova - "Uuuuhhh, I'll have to ask her."

Well it took awhile for me to convince her, but a deal was struck. I need to do some favors for her and in exchange she said I could develop this image. I even got to move her cape myself. *blush* It was one hell of a day. 

FIRST IMAGE EVER REWORKED

 So the idea was simple. If you were to take your first image ever and rework it with all the knowledge you have now, what would it look like? 

Things I noticed had changed right off the bat.

- no line around the figures

- ears

- it was more about making the wow models fit onto the real ones than making the real ones look like WoW characters

- I had a solution for the foot problem this time because I didn't use Modelviewer back then.

- my lighting is WAY better

- angle is more accurate
