The Shifty Sands ― An Illustrated Wildlife Story

Postby Theo » Thu Aug 05, 2021 9:33 pm

Maya the great warrior and huntress has a most unusual experience after landing on a mysterious patch of sand in the middle of the jungle.

My first attempt at creating an illustrated story using a game in development called “Wildlife.” Though not near the quality of the amazing artwork produced by others using Daz Studio, I think it produces the right impression, and it’s relatively simple to manipulate and capture the necessary shots, albeit somewhat limited in the number of poses, expressions and locations. Quicksand is not native to the game unfortunately (perhaps we should petition the developers?), but I’ve managed to find two areas where I can manipulate the character for the desired effect.

Here’s a link provided by the developer if anyone would like more info or a better background for the story: https://www.canva.com/design/DAESXLEA8o ... ?website#2

Hope you enjoy, please let me know what you think, and as always, thank you for reading!

Here’s another topic I’ve posted to further discuss the game and share some other off topic game shots I took: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=23620

Your story gets the SabbieMobili Seal of Approval. Which doesn't carry a lot of weight, but you can proudly display the Seal on your future works. If I ever come up with a logo.
Damn this slow quicksand! I have half a mind to struggle!

Thank you MadMax! I can only imagine why those particular pages are your favorite ;)

Indeed you did. It's like a tentacle, sex, thingamajigger (actually its called a "Salivarius"). I can neither confirm nor deny I have a wild idea to incorporate the Salivarius into a (distant) future quicksand story. But it will be a technical challenge so no guarantees.

Thank you sooo much SabbieMobili! I am most honored :D

In the meantime, until you design your own logo, I'll just put "Proudly endorsed by SabbieMobili" on my future stories ;)

Thanks DJlurker! Sorry I somehow missed your reply when I made my replies to others earlier today.
