Silencitx and Ethancitx learn very important information from the bear at the lost and found. And they meet some goblins!

A plot twist and a whole new art style await Silencitx through the mirror! So does Ethancitx, much to everyone’s relief.

All scenes through the magical mirror are made of digital assets arranged and then rendered in a program called Daz Studio. I think of my digital art as playing with digital dolls. Everything, from the models themselves to their textures to their shapes, can be purchased and combined in novel ways.

Both Silencitx and Ethancitx are both Genesis 8.1 Female base figures made by Daz Studio that I have reshaped and retextured to correspond as closely as possible to their doll versions. I got the stripes on their shirts by scanning the long-sleeved shirts that the doll versions are wearing and applying them to the digital shirts. They aren’t wearing their pink sweatshirts because I couldn’t find an affordable digital version.

I’ve been playing with digital art like this for over fifteen years, so I have a collection of thousands [!!] of digital assets. I’m excited to show Silencitx and Ethancitx having adventures that exceed the limits of my 1:6 scale stuff!

Dorklets Silencitx and Ethancitx in…Balloon Boat Adventure IV!

Silencitx and Ethancitx make some ill-advised decisions, and the plot really gets going.

The Magister is one of the Elder Witches and Silencitx’s best friend, so of course she knows that he has a magic mirror. He’s also the head of the cemetery commission and really into historical gravestones, hence the wall art. We’ll see more of him and the other Elder Witches later.

The magic mirror is a 1:6 scale prop that originally came with a figure of John Constantine, a comic book antihero. He summons demons from hell [or maybe he just views them] through a magic mirror. The mirror is supposedly sculpted to look like something is coming out of it, but I don’t see it. Anyway, I’ve had it for years and finally decided to put it to good use.

After all that discussion about the balloon boat, Ethancitx dropped it along with his sweatshirt! Don’t worry–the balloon boat comes back later, albeit in a different form.

We find out what Ethancitx was working on…but why are he and Silencitx disappointed?

Dorklets Night and Day in…Wet Snow!

March 30, 2025 ModernWizard 3 Comments

Siblings Night [with long red hair] and Day [with short brownish hair] discover that wet snow is really fun until it falls on you… Fortunately the Magister warms everyone up with hot drinks.

This photostory was shot under the eaves at the side of my new apartment building and inspired by the alarming sight of massive amounts of wet snow sliding off the nearby roofs. We got four inches of extremely slushy snow yesterday, and it’s already dwindling….

Silencitx and Ethancitx are still pestering each other. Yes, she followed him into his room to complain about him. Meghna shows up and weighs in on the shirts.

Silencitx [with short brown hair] and Ethancitx [with long black hair] are next door neighbors. They get along rather well when they’re not getting on each other’s nerves, but right now they’re getting on each other’s nerves….

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Meghna, Ethan’s older sister, is the coolest and most fashionable person on the planet.

The Elder Witches and family in…Potion of Grossness!

Little Night [with long red hair] and Little Day [with short brownish hair] are the Elder Witches’ kids. They did some creative cooking, but they forgot about the Magister’s sensitive stomach. Fortunately they find a way around it. They’re all so sweet!

Featuring some MGA Make It Mini Miniverse drinks that I made this weekend!

The Elder Witches and family in…The Magister’s Canned Goods III!

I put some of the miniature herbs and their labels in appropriate containers this morning. I also decided to change the label on the cilantro because I’m part of that genetic minority to whom the herb tastes like soap. The following photostory resulted. Featuring dorklets Night and Day!

One silly pun deserves another. The Magister responds in kind.

The paper plates are from another MGA Make It Mini Miniverse set, this one in the Happy Birthday series.

The Elder Witches in…The Magister’s Canned Goods I!

MGA puts out many cute little food packages in their Make It Mini Miniverse line of approximately 1:6 scale miniatures. Recently they came out with the Nature II series which included herbs that could be potted in miniature cans. As much as I like 1:6 scale fudz in general, I am a sucker for 1:6 scale canned goods, so I immediately got those sets with herbs and their tin can planters.

Toon Hardshippers in…Too Much [?] Chocolate!

February 16, 2025 ModernWizard 2 Comments

Toon Silence tries to use magic to create a Valentine’s gift for Toon Ethan. The results are unexpected, but she has a solution.

This photostory is brought to you by Valentine’s Day, the locally made Snowflake Chocolates, and my parents, who gave me the chocolates. [They were the perfect size for ME!]

A Hardshippers photostory: Being Gay and That Witch

January 25, 2025 ModernWizard 1 Comment

I rediscovered some miniature adhesive patches I commissioned about two years ago. One says BE GAY DO CRIMES. The other says 100% THAT WITCH. A photostory with all my favorite characters ensued. Technically no dorklets appeared. [Big Silence and Big Ethan are no longer dorklets.]

Back at Tech Park: The Spymaster, Xeni, and the Butt Tree — also some majestic shots of the Magister

January 1, 2025 ModernWizard 1 Comment

Later we three returned to Tech Park. The Spymaster, owned by @natalunasans, discovered a tree root that looked like a butt [hur hur hur] and pointed it out to his student Xeni, also owned by @natalunasans. She overplayed her shock and accusations that he was being cringe because…well…it really did look like a butt.

A dorklet encounters an Elder Witch!!

January 1, 2025 ModernWizard 1 Comment

Emily, a Petworks Ruruko [redressed, with inner thigh sockets carved out for better sitting], meets the Toon Magister on @natalunasans dining table [guest starring my water bottle in the background]. [With @natalunasans and @roseinthelibrary, I use “dorklet” to refer to a kidsy who embodies the qualities of a dorklet–in this case, unabashed curiosity.] Emily feels somewhat intimidated by the Magister’s august reputation, but not so intimidated that she stops staring. The Magister tries to engage her with his usual combination of courtesy and straightforward respect. Emily isn’t sure how to take this.
