Note that I did NOT make anyone’s clothes for these “digital dolls,” as I call them. That requires skill in 3D modeling, which I have not yet quite developed.

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!

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.

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….
