#Renderpalooza!

[the-iron-orchid]

It's.... MERMAY-PALOOZA~

Finally, FINALLY I have collected enough assets to do MerMay!

This one will go a lil differently from previous Renderpaloozas - I'll be taking requests all week (5/1/23 - 5/7/23), but instead of trying to cram all the renders into the same week, I'll be pacing myself and releasing them throughout the month.

Choices and rules are under the cut. I can't possibly show every variation available, feel free to DM me if you want to see texture options or have any questions!

Requests are now CLOSED.

You can find the request queue here!

RULES:

Please limit to 2 requests per requestor.

One character per render.

Renders will have a prefab underwater scene as a backdrop.

Poses will be chosen by me.

If you request someone else's OC, I will have to okay it with the OC's creator first!

I reserve the right to close the request window at any time, I am but one little guy and I can only do so much T_T

I will append a request queue to this post as requests come in! If you send a request and don't see it appear in the queue within a day, tumblr probably ate your request :c Try again!

Tail Choices:

Classic Merfolk (choose tailfin)

Seahorse Tail

Fantasy Lionfish Tail

Octo-Mer (fem base characters only, sadly)

Shark Tail (choose arm fins, scars, body paint)

Classic Mermaid (with gills, fem base only)

Eel Tail (with gills, masc base only)

Fancy Tails (choose fin options)

Snake Tails (choose scale options)

Texture Choices:

Color - most of these have a huge array of colors and patterns available. Feel free to DM me about the choices available for the tail you've chosen! I can also make some basic color adjustments to suit. You can also just leave it up to me!

Glossy/Metallic/Pearly/Bioluminescent - I can make the tail have a fancy sheen or bioluminescent markings!

Clothing/Jewelry:

Pearls, gems, gold, silver; rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and body chains; facial and body piercings - I can adorn your mer in jewelry if you like! Give a general vibe and I'll do my best to fulfill it from my large library of jewelry assets. (Otherwise, they'll just have their usual jewelry.)

Armor - I can put armor on the top half of your mer. Choose from fantasy or realistic styles.

Modesty top - if your mer has breasts, they can go bare (will mark the render as Mature) or I can choose a little fantasy top for them to wear. (If your mer goes bare, I can absolutely give them nip piercings btw)

Masc mers can absolutely wear a little crop top too, as a treat :)

Hair:

Unless otherwise specified, characters will have their usual hair, but you can request a long-haired version for your mer!

Snippet Sunday

Thanks for the tag @midnightprelude!

I stg, I am about ready to just call this next chapter 'done' and post it.

---

Rhys shakes his head, but he pulls the mabari charm from his pocket and holds it out. “I found this, grandmother?” He hasn’t managed to drop the Ostwick Circle convention of addressing all elderly women as grandmother; although, Josie – and the Grand Enchanter* – has warned him more than once about the likelihood of offending someone. “Do you recognize it? It was in the caves.” The old woman's face changes. She dabs at her eyes with the hem of her apron and then pats his hand kindly. “Bless you, child, but no. The people in the caves weren’t ours.” Rhys's face softens at the sound of someone calling him child. Not Herald. Not Inquisitor. She must not recognize him as anyone important. “Who were they then?”

--- It's late, but I'll tag @pinkfadespirit @atypicalacademic and @ankoku-jin (although I recognize you're in deep with renderpalooza).

*I just enjoy the idea of Fiona sitting Rhys down to explain for the hundredth time that "yes, you're a nice young man, but if you call be grandmother on more -" and is interrupted by Alistair chasing Kieran through the Skyhold library.

Jinana’s Birthday Renderpalooza! 

Requested By: The Squad

Heron and Jinana share a birthday dance. Their parents hoped SO HARD that they'd get together 😔

The Violently Melon-Colored Choli is, in fact, part of a Violently Melon-Colored Sari that Heron's mother made for Jinana. She completed the choli and the drape, but passed away before she could finish the skirt, which Heron and Jinana later completed in her memory.

(Heron, of course, belongs to @vesuvian-disaster!)

Marcus Aquila and Jinana get a nice dance in, in coordinating black-and-silver.

(Fun fact: Marcus Aquila is 5′11 and Jinana is wearing some serious heels lmao)

Just a note for folks who are new around here - custom OC models take many, many hours of work to create (some poor folks have been waiting the better part of a year!) and so unfortunately I cannot offer custom Apprentice models for a Renderpalooza.

I do list the available models at the bottom of Renderpalooza request posts, along with the owners of OC models - all renders made with someone else's OC must be approved by them first.

Muriel and Lucio are coming along, but do keep in mind that I am disabled, have a massive case of ADHD, and a lot of other projects going on. Thanks for understanding!

We're not sure how they ended up in this situation... but poor Ell'iandyr seems mortified, while Jinana laughs it off.

And now, a Very Special Renderpalooza! 🎂♎

October 16th is Jinana's birthday! In honor of this, I'll be taking birthday-render requests from now through the next week.

Request guidelines are under the cut. I'll start publishing renders next Friday night (10/14/22) to kick off the festivities. Have fun!

Renderpalooza requests are now closed! Thanks to everyone to sent in a request!
