Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.
An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.
Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.
Thorondor “Ian” Caladharas is the 18 year old heir to one of the first of the Merchant Houses. An intelligent, independent teenager; Ian has a tendency towards irreverence and and frustration. In all honesty, he doesn’t care what his grandfather says he is heir to, he just wants to have a normal life. Or at least as normal a one as possible. (As my skills improved I made some revamps to this characters appearance to reflect aging and such as well. The top picture is how he is currently modeled. )
This lady (who chooses to remain nameless) is professional assassin who hails from the city of Naglorond. She does most of her work for private citizens since the end of the House Wars, where she was responsible for the deaths of a number of House personnel.
The handle she is currently using is “Targeter” All that is known about her so far is that she was a child prostitute in Naglorond who killed her way out of the business , and decided to never put her fate in the hands of another ever again.
Oh wow, I did not see this coming but I should have. Classic “tie up the loose-ends” gambit. I expected Dehane to brazen it out a bit more but with having drawn Houses Caladharas, Tindal, Blackaxe, Zerus, and Vale (What one knows, the others do too) attention to Maris Island, his entire plan is a no-go. Especially, since Kira had already told him that is stores were not sufficient.
This also makes his 25k man force redundant. There is no way that they can now be moved surreptitiously. Not with all *those* house intel agencies watching and they will eventually be uncovered, to be traced back to him.
Yes, considering Dehane’s opponents, it’s become “clean-up time!” for Dehane 😉
Esther is Victoria 3. Carrara won’t take anything over Gen 4. Gen 3/4 may be a lower resolution than 7 is, but it also allows me to make scenes with a lot of people in them (especially since Carrara is 64 bit now)
That section at The Temple where I had twelve people in the room at dinner wouldn’t have been possible with V7 style figures.
I have learned that as long as you have good textures on a figure, you can get away with using a lower resolution mesh. Hell, I still have V3 and M3 Reduced Resolution figured running around at times and nobody has ever noticed.
Scorched Earth. Kira Dawn put Chandler on the map so the whole thing was cut loose and destroyed to preserve secrecy. No doubt every computer is just as trashed as the employees. Since the building is not physically burning (and I am somewhat surprised by that) there may be paper records.
