Deviation Actions
I guess one of my older renders was featured on the front page recently and as a result, my Mass Effect renders have gotten a lot of attention. Usually, I would think that's pretty awesome. The idea that someone is just discovering some of my art that I worked on over a year or two ago makes me pretty happy. It's also pretty great to get nice comments on renders that I may have forgotten about in the time since I first worked on them.
That said, it's also pretty frustrating to see the type of comments that drove me away from dA last year.
Let me be clear about the type of comments I'm talking about. I'm open and appreciative of any feedback of artistic or technical nature (shadows or textures don't look quite right, figure is posed in an awkward position, scene composition feels unbalanced). What I DO NOT appreciate are comments hostile to my interpretation of lore... fucking VIDEO GAME lore:
SHEPARD IS DEAD!
SHEPARD IS A WOMAN!
SHEPARD BELONGS WITH MIRANDA!
SHEPARD IS A DEAD WOMAN AND BELONGS WITH MIRANDA! (there are unused audio files that suggest they were a pairing, so that's what I ship!)
Mass Effect appealed to so many people because it allowed for players to create their own story by giving us choices. You may have romanced Tali or Ashley or Garrus. You may have executed Wrex on Virmire or recruited Morinth on Omega. You may have been a renegade who chose to synthesize with the Reapers. You have your own personal story. So why can't I have mine?
Now, I leave you with a link to a conversation with this idiot:

It perfectly encapsulates the type of bullshit that drives me nuts, and drives me away from dA.
Bye for now.

The Witcher's Creed - Stanis Verdun
So I finally got around to playing The Witcher 3 recently, and I can honestly say it's the best game I've played in years; it's the best RPG (western or Japanese) I've ever played; and it puts other western RPG developers to shame (looking directly at you Bioware).
If I did have a single gripe with it however, and this is probably an unpopular opinion, is that I didn't find Geralt all that interesting as a character. Maybe he's different in the books, but in the game he just seems kind of dull and bland, and comes across as another gruff, strong but silent protagonist. It's a bit of a bummer for me since Witcher 3 has such a enthralling, imm
Vaultgirl Rocket version 2: Yay or Nay? [UPDATED]
So my friend Red Menace just finished his new model of Zoey from Left 4 Dead, and I absolutely fell in love with it. So much so, that I was toying with the idea of using it as the new base model for my Vaultgirl build:
Now, I'm looking for some feedback. I'm a bit torn, since I spent quite a bit of time on the original build. Is it worth continuing with Zoey, or should I stick with the old build using the Daisy from Far Cry 3 as the base?
EDIT
Sorry for any confusion folks. To be clear, both images above are of the new Zoey model, just with a few interchangeable parts to show the versatility of the model. My question was whether it was wor
Mass Effect Babies Returns!
I was lying in bed the other night struggling to fall asleep, when inspiration struck! Much thanks to Red Menace for porting face-poseable Grunt model to SFM. Stay tuned folks!
Too Hot for dA: Arkham Extravaganza!
Hi folks, I haven't been very active here in dA lately. That's because I've been doing a lot of NSFW renders over in my threadDigitalEro (https://www.deviantart.com/digitalero)!
If you have't visited lately, then you're missing out! Here are some teasers:

Dude, your headcannon isn't the same as mine, and that's just fine.
I really dig your renders, thanks for sharing them.
