Description
Follow up to previous post:
Things turned out better than we thought, thanks to a roast chicken used to lure the wyrm out of its hole. It turned out to be smarter than the average reptile, and the innkeeper confided in our pair of mages that he liked it for keeping the rats down. So...special dispensation.
Ariolas: "Now, this is how you cook a chicken, right my pretty?"
Taiev: "Are you talking to me or your new pet?"
Ariolas: "Both, actually. That's right, patience, almost done. Oh, good boy."
Taiev: "I am not begging for chicken, you may have noticed." *bites sausage*
Ariolas: "Ahem. That was for the wyrm. Isn't he doing well? Oh, yes." *coos* "I can make /you/ beg for other things." *eyes the sausage, then Taiev*
Taiev: "Oh no you don't, not here in the kitchen. The cook will kill us as it is."
Ariolas: "Feh. I'll wait. Chicken first!"
Wyrm: *drool* *snap*
Production notes: My M4 Enhanced characters, with Elite Jeremy (blondie Elf) and Elite Stratton (red-headed Finn); Faveral's Medieval Tavern set, some of those lights, mightily tweaked; Dinokonda Plus (DAZ); Jack of Hearts pants and Narquelir Kir shirt with other textures applied; hair and body hair, magick, color adjustments and roasting smells added in post. Dinnertime!
Happy Easter!

A marvelously composed scene! You do a fabulous job of painting body hair on those smooth textures. Amusing story and a wonderful image!
Don't Wyrms get big? LOL at the cooing over the wyrm, so cute! And cooking by magic--I could go for that. No dishes;) Love the guys and their beautifully-drawn hair--you are so patient!

Absolutely beautiful, Nan! Love the story; the verbal interplay is quite fun. Your imagery is always outstanding. Your hair-painting is outstanding.
Great image and playful dialogue. But even more important than these is their new pet. No matter where they go in the deepest wilds, they have a way to cook meals.
Excellent
What a fantastic scene, as usual, your pictures and characters come to life and the hair!!! I love reading the little snippets you write along with them too. Just brilliant :)
Snort! Holy hell, dollface! Ow..think I snorted coffee on these two! Fantastic little mini-series, completely got me grinning!
