Kole’s Armor

Kole - Armor RetextureNow that the store is finally live and we got rid of the initial hiccups, everything seems to be running pretty smoothly. So I’ll have time to make more frequent updates and show you what I’ve been working on.

I’ve been retexturing Kole’s armor set to be somewhat reminiscent of the N7 armor from Mass Effect. The retexture took a very long time, as there are so many little pieces. Not to mention, some of the parts can be seen on front and back (such as the shoulder guards), so they had two different textures.

The bump map still needs to be redone (the current bump map is the one included with the armor set) to reflect the chipped paint from the scratches I painted all over the suit, but otherwise it’s done. Redid the specularity and I think it is looking pretty good. Let me know what you think!

Oh, in case you are unaware, Kole will be the protagonist in my upcoming new comic Dark Rift.

The Store is Now Live!

That’s right, everyone… The store is officially live and chock full of goodies! Well, not quite ‘full’. In fact, it’s rather barren. But it’s running, it’s been tested and found to be working in all browsers, and Clara Ravens Episode 3 Epilogue is there waiting for you to get your hands on, as well as the Dynamic Comic Viewer! So I’ll save you a lengthy ranting blog post as I’m sure you’re eager to get to the first official DCV-enabled comic, so click on the banner above or click the store link and go get yourself some Clara!

Big thanks to the two guys who’ve been working tirelessly over the last couple weeks helping me get this up and running, despite working late nights to 3 a.m. at some points. I literally couldn’t have done this without you guys, and you deserve the recognition even though I know you’d rather stay anonymous. Thanks a ton!

Oh lastly, if/when you buy the comic and have had a chance to read it, please drop by the store again and leave a review of the product for other potential buyers. But please, keep it spoiler-free!

EDIT (10/22/12): We’ve identified a problem with the credit card plugin in Google Chrome that causes an essential script not to run during checkout, thereby removing the credit card field and not allowing the customer to complete checkout. We are investigating a solution and recommend using Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari to complete you sale. (Issue has been solved).

Additionally, I’ve reset a few downloads. Note that downloads are set to 3 attempts for each individual product, and download link expire in one week’s time, so be sure to download your purchases right away and email me through the “Contact” box if you are having problems. You can get to your account page here: https://www.epoch-art.com/my-account. I understand you are spending your hard-earned money for my stuff and I want to make sure that you are able to get it!

Update on Clara Ravens Ep.3 Epilogue

Featured Wallpapers bundled with Clara Ravens Ep.3 Epilogue
The Dynamic Comic Viewer post is getting cluttered with release date questions, so I just wanted to drop a quick update post.

First of all, the DCV-enabled comic is nearly finished. I have all static frames completed, including wallpapers and turntables, but have two animations to render out yet (one of which the animation is still a little ‘janky’ and needs some work). But I anticipate finishing the comic by the end of this week, Continue reading “Update on Clara Ravens Ep.3 Epilogue”

High Class Clara – Hardcore POV

Clara Ravens - Sexy Dress POVA regular visitor to Epoch-Art requested this image. He paid for it very handsomely. In fact, his email’s subject line was an extrapolation of the famous quote from The Godfather (‘an offer you can’t refuse’). Since it was easy enough to do with a set I had already finished (the restaurant from Clara Ravens Episode 3) and an outfit that was also complete, I put it together for him and am sharing it with you all, since there was some comments from persons eager to see Clara getting railed in this dress.
