#ScribesAndMakers 3/31. How did it go? Were you able to work on the things you wanted to?

It went reasonably well.

I finished that book finally, completing the five book series.

My narrators finished two audiobooks and they're out.

I prepped a lot of images for #merMay

Unfortunately my website for sending out promotions crashed due to neglect. The server memory filled up after two years and it wouldn't restart even after freeing up memory.

More work needed to get it functioning.

But no, not too bad.

Close up of a woman's face. Her skin is wet and she's looking straight into the camera. The background looks dark as well but it's out of focus. This is in fact a mermaid, not that you can tell.

#ScribesAndMakers 3/29. What is your proudest or best moment with your creative endeavour this month?

I've put together a bunch of nice images for #merMay and set-up a ko-fi account to sell wallpapers.

And I finished the last book in my series "Dragons of the Wounded Land". Finally. Only a year late (but I did have a life-threatening medical condition suddenly pop-up so I guess that's excusable)

Image contains nudity, though it's really not obvious.

#ScribesAndMakers 3/17. What's your favourite book about writing, or your other craft?

If I'm ever asked to recommend a book on writing I say "Writing a Great Movie" by Jeff Kitchen, it's not just about movies.

(I never recommend anything involving the Hero's Journey because it's racist, misogynistic shit and isn't the basis of all stories.)

There's no definitive book on 3D rendering (although I have a technical background on the subject) or DazStudio specifically, but there are a lot of YouTube videos of varying degrees of usefulness.

But 3D rendering is photography, or even film-making, where you have to organise the models, set and costumes, as well as take the picture.

The most important thing for me is the Rule of Three.

I'm currently working on a portfolio for #merMay the picture below is a snippet of one.

The wet upper torso of a woman (actually a mermaid but we can't see her lower half). It's raining and she looking at something off to our right.
