I finished assigning every room of the 6th floor to a function and made this isometric view of the floor. The rooms starting from the lower left are: Pilot’s deck Suyen house Service elevators on the sides Lukaud’s private room Gathering/recreation room Central stairs Showers Restrooms Main elevators Drink lounge
The rooms on the sides are 22 passenger rooms, each including a balcony.
There are a few more rooms to plan out on the 5th floor, and then it will probably be getting the same treatment.
The Obmunjalae has four kitchens, two for each dining area. Each kitchen has three cooking ranges with a nearby preparation table and waste bin for each station. There are two more prep tables in the other part of the room for non-cooked items. There is also a dumbwaiter against the wall that connects to a cold storage room on the floor below.
The kitchen staff utilizes magically summoned cooking utensils in lieu of having permanent ones. The stands in front of each prep table hold token books with “recipe tokens” which are used to summon the instructions and needed tools to create a dish. The staff can prepare, cook, and serve the food, then afterwards simply dispel the magically generated items. No cleaning necessary!
The image above includes Yoseka, the kitchen master of the Obmunjalae. Yezukh’ay is delivering an egg to prepare a dessert.
Another view of the kitchen to show the back area with the additional prep tables.
Woklah and Eleru are two of the three members of an elite House of the Shield crew, with a third member, Adri the avian grepir, not pictured here. They were assigned to join another crew for the special assignment of attacking the island of Lukaudalin in an effort to free the western half from the “Poison” hessai entity that consumed the entire landmass.
Another shot with Sparky, who is 188cm tall, showing off just how big these two felcae women are.
Sparky, doing some inter-dimensional tourism, got an offer from Yezukh’ay to meet Lukaud while they changed into their female gwil aspect. They mentioned the lurin wouldn’t be wearing any clothes when they exited their nest sphere, which predictably caught Sparky’s attention. Yezukh’ay didn’t mention that Lukaud’s gwil form intentionally lacked some details, and also found his attempt to conceal his disappointment hilarious.
I made some updates to Lukaud’s gwil aspect, including some new patterns, pockets, and some divisions on the chest of their outfit, as well as new spots on their feet.
Gardening season is still a ways away, but I wound up setting up a scene with some characters doing some spring prepping. The stage is based on my actual backyard garden.
I skipped making one of these last year. It’s getting a bit crowded in there. I had to run multiple renders (left/right sides) so Blender didn’t run out of GPU memory.
Building off the updates to the Red Triplets work from the previous update, here is a new addition to this group. Though the central characters of the story are known as the Red Triplets, they are actually part of a set of sixteen. Like Bayzil, a few of the other members have an additional curse upon them. Nemi is one of those, which manifests as a physical corruption that begins in her left hand and eventually works down her arm. Ultimately, the infection becomes fatal. In one life, she attempted to subvert the curse by amputating her arm, but the curse’s presence stayed linked to the rest of her body and still infected her.
In her next life, she got help to contain the curse’s presence in an orb. She still had to have her lower arm amputated, but an artificial arm was crafted to hold the orb and this contained the curse.
Now, there is another element to this curse, and it has given Nemi a title of the “‘Beast of Oblivion’s Claw”. She can summon up three parallel magical blades from her cursed hand that can cut though any matter like it was moving through air. Using the claws causes the curse’s corruption to accelerate, so she is limited to how often she can use them. With the containing orb, this no longer endangers her life, but she does eventually have to purge the poison from the relic lest it burst.
The Red Triplets previously had a lazily applied CSD sigil marking at the center of their backs. Even earlier on, that mark looked like the number 8 inside a circle, which may have been the result of even lazier mirroring. Last year, I made a wall decoration which stylized the CSD sigil to resemble two tails. I have now applied that design to the mark on their back. During the process, I also performed some cleanup on the body texture, including combining three separate images into one.
