Description
"It's a slip knot, Squeaker. Just tug the loose end once you've gotten within the Iron Golem's thorax. Then you'd best beat a hasty retreat as the creature is petrified!" the cat girl admonished.
"Worry not, fair feline, I did not acquire the status of noble by foolishly lingering in harm's way!" the little rodent replied.
"We'll wait a few ticks an' in we'll barge. Straight ter th' shinies we go! That'll bring out th' Golem! Yer got ter stuff that scroll in ter th' beastie's chest right smart or we're goners, Rat. In that event plan ter be ha'nted by me most disappointed spirit!" Jorl waved his sword to demonstrate his seriousness.
"Worry not, brave warrior!" Sir Squeaker said. "I will fulfill my part of the bargain and enjoy our next meal bought with the proceeds from this carefully planned enterprise!" The little rodent was surprisingly confident and turned to enter the open door of the ancient Royal Crypt.
Molly's art notes: Set up and rendered in Poser 12.0.757 with Superfly Cycles 2 and tweaked in Photoshop for a bit of glow (spectral bloom) and vignette. The Catgirl is based on A3, the Dwarf is a stand alone figure by Sixus1 and Sir Squeaker is part of a bundle from Poser Software. The setting is from "The Dungeon" by Sveva and LukeA.

Cute scene, though the high contrast lighting doesn't seem to go with the genre.
Thanks for your candid comment, Mazzam. I do have trouble with this business of night time scene lighting and it's kind of a WIP. =)
Molly
You make Sir Squeaker look (and sound) so cute! I think the lighting works great for Jori and the cat girl, given their torches, but perhaps Sir Squeaker should've had a tiny torch of his own to account for his lighting? I can almost hear the music that foretells the start of a dangerous endeavor!
I might have overdone the lighting on Sir Squeaker; it's part of my ongoing journey with learning how to light a night time scene convincingly. I'm delighted with your overall response to the story and Squeaker's obvious competence and willingness to take risk in support of the enterprise. =)
Thanks, Amy. I always like to hear from you.
Molly
Looking forward to the next installment!
Thank you. I've been very surprised how much people have been enjoying this and very pleased. I always enjoy hearing from you! =)
Molly
Superb lighting, love the confident li'l guy, even the cave itself builds tension to the plan. Great poses, convincing demeanor😊, excellent atmosphere, brilliant render. Exquisite Artwork. I love it!
Thank you, Marius! I'm glad you think the picture is well done and that you are enjoying the story, my dear! =)
Molly
Fabulous render - every detail. I wondered what happened to this story - was glad to read more.
Thank you, Annie. I always think about stories even when they sit for a time and this one is likely to keep getting additions until I get to what I think is a good pausing point.... we're not there yet! =)
Molly
Looks good to me, Molly. I think the lighting is just fine, :)
Oh, that's so nice to hear! I struggle so much with lighting at night time! XD
Molly
Fantastic!!!!!!! Squeaker gets all the dangerous jobs. LOL
Heh. Yeah. In fairness, he's the only one small enough and he DID volunteer. XD
Thanks for commenting, Kellie. I always enjoy hearing from you!
Molly
Nice work! The light seems fine to me, (did you see how bright Gandalf's staff glowed in the mines?) Good luck to Sir Squeaker, I hope their plan works. Food is always a good reward.
Thank you for the encouragement about lighting Barb and giving me a smile with the image of Gandalf. XD Food is a great reward for a little rodent! =)
Molly
absolutely delightful!!
Thank you for the encouragement! I really appreciate it!
Molly
Very exciting and dangerous prospects! I hope all the success to them in their enterprise! Excellent image! Bravo!
Thank you. I know where I want the story to go but I've been having trouble on how to compose the next few pictures. If I can figure out how to depict the story and continue I hope you'll continue to enjoy! =)
