Hello all!

Ugh... more orcs. Why hello there! So rendering? I’m still dealing with the orc scene, not a surprise there; it is six characters and even with the usual "shortened action" it is still a lot of renders. Had hoped I would be done with it yesterday, but alas, while I’m good, I’m not that good. But on the positive side, I am somewhere around 1550 renders. So, it’s more or less all good.

Writing? It’s in a good place. I’ll start update 5 soonish. Need to revise a few parts of the update 4 to be happy about it. But overall it’s going well.

And since I’m still dealing with the orcs... something else.

Cross: "Why is it always you when something strange happens? And is that a nun that Cooper is arresting? And do I even want to know why that woman is arguing with... a hand?"
Alexander: "Purely a coincidence, I assure you."
Cross: "And the rest?"
Alexander: "Well, the nun? She is just an innocent bystander in all this."
Cross: "And she was armed to the teeth, which makes it hard to believe."
Alexander: "It’s true. She was... going elsewhere when that one started summoning something."
Cross: "Right. So we return the woman."
Alexander: "Yeah..."
Cross: "What aren’t you telling?"
Alexander: "Let’s just say she thinks that the demons are an endangered species."
Cross: "..."
Susan: "I’ll endanger her as—"
Cross: "There was a demon here?"
Alexander: "Briefly, yes. Probably why the SWAT is here as well..."
Cross: "This is just going to be a fantastic day. At least no one died."
Alexander: "Well, at least no one important."
Cross: "..."

Yeah... it has been an interesting weekend for my brain. Let’s say that much. This render is one of the weird thoughts that came to my mind. At least it’s saner than the dreams. It isn’t secret; I like nighttime renders. Lighting them is slightly annoying, but it is easier in urban environments. If everything else fails, bring in the police and police helicopter with a searchlight. Right, short break, and more rendering and writing.
