What caught my attention and what the footage was based on:

-Concrete mixed with body parts, iron, and office paper -The main sound of the first hours of the rescue was a piercing whistle. Each firefighter had an alarm that would sound if they remained motionless for 30 seconds. There were 343 of them in total. -Sniffer dogs were among the heroes, but the search was exhausting, and people had to hide under the rubble to find at least someone alive and regain their spirits. -A crippled but miraculously surviving tree was found under the rubble. This pear tree is still alive to this day.

No, nothing happened, and someone simply stumbled upon documentaries about such events and was captivated by one of them.

I finally got the markers and tried it on Astarion.

A quick test, and, in fact, the thing I was hoping for. I started working in Blender with the idea of ​​finally making a tail for Tav, but after spending a weekend trying four different versions, I realized there were far more nuances. The final version works and was used in the previous set, but it still needs some work, so we're still working on the tail.

Thank you for tag @aristenfromwarsaw, it was truly interesting to do.

In Slavic mythology, Mavka was the closest relative of the mermaid. It was believed that unbaptized children who died in infancy, were killed by their own parents, or those children who were kidnapped by evil spirits became Mavkas. They lived literally everywhere: in fields, forests, swamps and lakes. They were often depicted as small children in long shirts who asked for help, or as young maidens with long loose hair. The main sign of a Mavka was that they had no skin on their backs, and their insides could be seen.

Mavkas do not leave shadows or reflections in the water. It is believed that upon seeing a man, she begins to lure him and drags him into the pool. Unlike all other types of mermaids, Mavkas do evil without purpose. At the sight of a man, a mavka falls into a kind of trance, thinking he's her lover, because of whom she once did something bad to herself, and so she pounces on him, embraces him, and drags him underwater. Only underwater does the mavka realize it's not her lover and releases him, but by then the man is already dead. However, some mavkas, most often children, kill people out of a sense of revenge for their own death, which no one prevented.

It suited these two well. Luckily for Astarion, he's already undead, and drowning a vampire isn't exactly possible. So he lies there, satisfied, grinning.

A six-man squadron pulled up, and it was Shadowheart.

She's the true embodiment of the phrase "Every girl should have a little mystery." She's willing to kill for that mystery alone, but underneath it all lies a rather sweet and gentle personality. Her service forces her to adhere to certain views, but everything depends on what she chooses in her life and adventure.

Facts: -There has to be a healer in the party, right? And she's been given that role—from buffs to the Deception and Healing domain to resurrection and derogatory phrases. -Turn Undead (and her torch stick) works very poorly with some party members, so you have to think carefully about who you pair with whom. Otherwise, a friendly fire is guaranteed. -Guardian of Faith and Spirit Guardians are practically my favorite spells. If the first one could move on its own, it would be priceless. -Sacred flame in any unclear situation. -If things get really bad, you can help the party with fire.

Most of the way through, and we're moving towards the end.

I saw this tag and decided to participate because… why not? It's educational and I'm learning about the journey I've taken from start to finish for 3 years.

I started with a basic Reshade and cutscenes, and tried to put in animations as best I could. I still want to redo some of them, but they have their own charm.

Then LightLight came into play and cutscenes were moved to other places and objects were added

First attempts at photo mode and more and more lightning

At that moment, I reinstalled Reshade and added a lot of settings, and began to experiment more with everything I could. I think there was a turning point here.

Then came experiments in the direction of art - when the VP is considered as art

And now I've added processing in Photoshop and drawing on top of the VP, using various filters

I think brightness has always been my thing, as well as glowing particles. I don't think there's an end to progress here, especially when I get into modding myself. I'm still a bit worried about the overlap of ideas and everything else I'm working on right now. We'll see where it takes us next.
