I like em all but obviously, I like my own best. I just noticed that my Ruby Thursday is also the only one who isn't an X-Man. Though she did work with Logan but then again really who hasn't.
Ruby Thursday
Normally she is a villain but her last outing was with Logan and Cloak and she only turned on them to save her daughter so I don't count that as villainous.
The Voerman Sisters, Therese and Jeanette
Therese and Jeanette Voerman the owners and operators of several business ventures in Santa Monica, though the most well known, is their club "The Asylum". They have a sibling rivalry that is well known and often catches others in the crossfire. Therese is a consummate businesswoman with a keen mind to get the what she wants. Jeanette is a sensual and charismatic woman with a keen instinct to make use of who she wants. When you see them apart, which is the only way you see these warring sisters, it would be hard to see that they are identical twins. Knowing this you can see the similarities, they are both cunning, devious, intelligent, manipulative, beautiful, and of course, they are both vampires of a clan that any vampire who knows what's good for them is fearful of, the Malkavians. Having one of these unpredictable and insightful monsters around is bad enough but two around is terrifying. Good thing for all the other kindred in the city that they spend their time fighting one another and not looking outwards.
Source: The characters are from the game "Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines". I have kept the descriptive section to only include the initial information you have on the sisters so that if you haven't played the game you can fully experience their stories as I feel it is one of the best storylines in the game and that is saying a lot as it is a great game. I highly recommend playing it after installing the community patches.
Composition: Typically in a contest about a Duo it would make sense to make sure the Duo is distinct and differentiated. I, however, wanted to show them in a way that has them shown as two halves of the same whole.
Technical importance: When I made these characters I wanted to do something different, something where you know what you are seeing but you are in fact incorrect. In this case it is that this picture has absolutely no post-processing. This was rendered and directly posted. Two identical vignettes were set up opposite one another then lit in such a way that they both would have light fall on characters in the same way and cast the same lights. Therese was then put in one and Jeanette in the other and with a perfectly placed set of mirrors and camera, I was able to get the effect of the two characters merged. Would it have been easier to just do it in post, absolutely, but I felt that the characters deserved something more.
Hmm. Neat. I totally forgot about this. I need to enter these and totally forget about them more often it seems to work with my sweet sweet style.
Jeez, I really am out of it. Sorry I haven't posted in long enough that I forgot we changed image sharing services. Let me try this again so people can see my entry.
Fey Noir
I know Black and White are typical for Noir but I figured for Fey Noir it should be just desaturated.
So I present "Fey Noir"
How do you find where these morphs are. I just went through and did a search, I thought I found stuff, did the fix, and checked the new log file to find it pretty much the same. Also, is %20 treated the same as a space because many of the errors seem to have that. I just wish I could disable the messages since it doesn't seem to do anything other than slow things down.
@eeeooo It is the old Dungeon and Dragons cartoon. Pull up a picture of the original cast and you will won't be able to unsee it.
Well It seems my idea is a bit bigger than expected. Hopefully, I'll figure out how to render it because as it stands right now the textures alone for my render are just over 22 gigs so my computer (8gig 1070 and 16gigs RAM) is not happy. I will see if I can parse out the characters and deal with them individually or in smaller groups.
I guess when I get home I will have to get in on this since I just noticed it. I Also need to allow enough render time for it. Oh boy, I guess I'm going to cut it close. Should I assume October 30'th at the stroke of midnight is the cut-off? That way on Halloween they can be judged.
