this is the most up-to-date map of the fantasy world of tarkun einais, and will be updated as available.
my first recurring character, yophiel of tarkun einais, show here rendered with daz studio's native 3delight engine rather than iray (as all of my later images are). also pictured are allaikit and sarak valainguard.
an early iray image of yophiel, still a genesis figure. she has also been a genesis 2 figure, and is currently several different genesis 3 figures, as i tinker around.
i have never named this figure anything but "devil girl", nor given her a backstory. nonetheless, i have used her in several renders which have come out quite well.
devil-girl again. the night sky in the background isn't 3d digital work; it's an actual photograph of the night sky i included in the back of the render.
i don't think that this is a real quote... but it's still hilarious.
"Helluva good time". the rightmost figure of the central three is devil girl, without glowing eyes.
a random image from tarkun einais, showing a dragon-mounted ektroma in battle with an emissary of the war-god khaeon.
this is actually a bit science-fictiony for tarkun einais, but little se' fala eventually became a recurring character, and established a new sapient species: the psari.
Erotea, goddess of love and agriculture.
a very early image of yophiel. it was originally a 3delight image, but i liked it so much that i went back, changed all of the material settings for iray, and re-rendered it.
"defense of the sapphire tower". one of my best renders of yophiel, and her first as a genesis 3 model.
one of my earliest iray images, this is a picture of sarak valainguard on his own. i think it looks a bit primitive, but i've gotten a surprising abount of positive feedback on this image.
an experiment with yophiel. i called back to some of her properties as a first-generation genesis model (including the silver armor), and also used a halo of mystic symbols rather than light.
viktor the invoker, a hero from another world. he went insane and eventually became one of the greatest evils of tarkun einais.
another genesis 3 version of yophiel.
"Window sitter". No backstory, I just wanted to try an experiment with the lighting. I think it turned out well.
I liked this outfit quite a bit, so I did another with her flying.
I made an image of yophiel's fall from EmpYrean to the world of Tarkun Einais very early in my career; here, am re-constructing it using much more advanced figures and materials.
"The Witches of Heliargyra". This is another experiment which turned out marvelously. I just wanted to see if I could get the rock face in the background to come out well, and kept adding elements until this showed up.
a tribe of ektromoi taking a heavy land drake for a bath.
a war party of ektromoi with their hunting drakes.
an early version of mechangelical.
a young boy picking the wrong fight in the port of freedom's landing.
i actually composed this for a contest (i lost). the drakelings mark it as a picture in tarkun einais.
my first picture of yophiel in iray, using a genesis 2 model. i think her skin turned out very well!
Se F'ala and a close relation escaping a market. this wound up being very similar to a much earlier image in the "space opera" section.
allaikit defends a clutch of drakelings from poachers somewhere in the corrathian colonies.
one of my best early images of yophiel, using a genesis model in 3delight, with postwork in GIMP. i still like the composition, but the final image is quite primitive.
devil girl again, on vacation somewhere.
a priestess of erotea.
Maraial, sister of yophiel
