Wrenzephyr2 - Downsizing

Another new sequence by Wrenzephyr2.  Sorry about the delays in posting - staying busy with a lot of different projects.  More good stuff on the way from a number of other folks.

Wrenzephyr2 - A New Jacket

A little slow on posting again, but I've got a few more mini-sequences coming from Wrenzephyr2.  Getting back to some La De Baucherie Magique roots - we'll see what other outfits show up.

The Fashion Pageant - Post-Script

Well, meant to do this a little sooner, but been busy - as usual - if in a different manner than other times.

Just wanted to collect and display a few pics that didn't make it into the final posting version of the pageant - some, but not all of these have previously been posted, but I figured they deserved their own section.

The La De Baucherie Magique Fashion Pageant - The Last Category - 1

 

Mac: "Well folks, it's been a heckuva ride, but it looks like things are winding up tonight."

Meg: "It is the last night, but we are going out with a bang."

Mac: "That's not necessarily the most appropriate term to describe a night displaying evening gowns - but this will be quite the party.

Mac: "Cheers to us!"

Meg: "That is non-alcoholic right?"

Mac: *sigh* "Yes....just juice."

Meg: "Good, because you know how we get with alcohol."

Gany: "I'm ready to party!...but I can wait till the wrap party."

Mac: "That's good to hear.  We don't need another display like last night."

Meg: "And just in time, here comes Candy - looks like we're in for a really beautiful display tonight.  This La DeBaucherie Magique Fashion Pageant is a real winner."

Mac: "Soooo, we're all set for the final catwalks tonight.  And we're starting with Srijaya."

The La De Baucherie Magique Fashion Pageant - The Fourth Category - 1

Mac: "Yet again, we're back with another round of the La De Baucherie Magique Fashion Pageant!"

Meg: "A very sexy round....potentially the *most* sexy round."

Mac: "Well...this is the Lingerie round after all."

Meg: "So that's why you're looking sooooooo uncovered.  Salome of the Seven Veils and all that."

Mac: "Well, one veil at least....what are you wearing under that overcoat?"

Meg: "Wouldn't you like to know?  Speaking of which - Hi Gany!  Did you have something to show us?"

Gany: "Wooooo!  Party time!  Get a load of this bod!"

Mac: "Well, looks like someone hit the post-show cocktails a little early."

Meg: "Cut her some slack, there's a real party going on backstage tonight!  Even Candy looks like she's having a pretty good time!"

Mac: "Past time for getting this show on the road - Srijaya's coming down the catwalk now.  Good thing we reset all the environmentals to 'comfortable summer afternoon'."

The La De Baucherie Magique Fashion Pageant - The Third Category - 1

Meg: "Welcome to the third night of the La De Baucherie Magique Fashion Pageant - this is shaping up to be a really interesting competition so far.  What do you think Mac?"

Mac: "mmmm mmmmm mmmm"

Meg: "I couldn't have said it better myself.  What's the theme for tonight?"

Mac: "mmmm mmmmm mmmmm"

Meg: "You know, I sure hope you didn't just say what I think I heard you say."

Mac: "mmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmm"

Meg: "You know you don't get to speak until you make the proper safe signal.  It's not my fault if you can't tie a sheepshank knot with your tail."

Mac: *zip* "Seriously Meg?  You need a hobby.  Nothing to worry about here folks - frankly, I'm not sure she knows the definition of bondage."

Meg: "Bondage....bandage...whatever."

Mac: "Ok, so tonight we're taking things in the opposite direction from the last competition.  This time - we've propped the backstage doors open with a couple of Meg's barbells and issued some blankets to the audience - hopefully we can make up some of what we spent on heating and lighting last night."

Meg: "How are you feeling down there Gany?"

Gany: "The draft can be a little chilly, but I'm feeling strangely snug under this cape.  You did say it was fake right?"

Mac: "That's right, it's 100% faux fur."

Meg: "Don't tell her how many fauxs we had to kill to make it!"

Gany: "What was that?  I didn't quite catch that last part."

Mac:  "Never mind Gany....it looks like Candy is coming down the catwalk now - so clearly we're on a mixed theme tonight - fur outfits and/or tight, shiny outfits.  A mixed bag really, but they seem to be popular with a lot of people - not least with the weather being what it has been this year."

Meg: "They're popular with me - I'm snugger than a bug in a rug in this coat.  I bet Srijaya feels almost this good too....but looking at her now....I'm not sure she wants to feel so comfortable."

The La De Baucherie Magique Fashion Pageant - Second Night Commercial Break

Tonight's presentation of the La De Baucherie Magique Fashion Pageant is brought to you by the following sponsors:

Mac: "WZ brand rabbit ears. 'Guaranteed to improve your viewing experience.'"

Meg: "Do you know if they're HDTV compatible?  I'm not sure if I need an antenna."

Mac: "Well, yeah, it might be a case of targeted advertising."

And also by:

Meg: "Speaking of targeted advertising.  A shampoo specifically for centaurs."

Mac: "I can't really see it being a big seller but I'd imagine it'd require a bottle or two for every use - depending on the stylings."

The La De Baucherie Magique Fashion Pageant - The Second Category - 1

Meg: "Welcome back everyone to the second night of the La De Baucherie Magique Fashion Pageant."

Mac: "To clarify, we checked with Mistress Arianna, and it is in fact the first ever true fashion pageant built around her boutique.  That's not to say there haven't been any special presentations before, but nothing on this scale."

Meg: "So, making history, that's what I'm talking about.  And additionally, we are deeply, deeply sorry for the delay - technical problems on our end and all that.  Apparently a mouse was caught eating through some electrical wiring."

Mac: "Is that so?  I heard it was a hideous lizard-woman who bet the gaffers she could carry all their rigging gear with one arm tied behind her back."

Meg: "Mac, you know this is how urban rumors are started.  Would you like to hear the one about the fat, hairy frog-girl who cleaned out the caterers?"

Mac: "Ahem...not particularly.  And what's the theme for tonight?"

Mac: "That's what I thought.  Looking at Candy, I'm pretty sure we're running swimwear tonight."

Meg:  "Looks like she's just come from the pool as well."

Mac: "Well, to be fair, the studio is pretty well suited to it today.  Looks like we've made a few accommodations for the contestants.  You may have noticed it's a little warmer in here."

Meg:  "If you can't bring the pageant to the beach, bring the beach to the pageant - in January no less."

Mac: "That's right, heat lamps overhead, we've turned up the brightness a little - complimentary shades provided."  

Meg: "I do believe they've got some sort of pool or tub set up in the rear as well.  Can you tell us any more about it Gany?"

Gany: "Evening ladies - it's true, there are a few amenities added backstage.  If you don't feel like submerging yourself in the pool, there are more than a few stagehands more than ready to...hose you down."

Meg:  "Sounds like a good time...may head back myself during the commercial break to cool off.  So I'm getting a signal...are we ready to begin?"

The La De Baucherie Magique Fashion Pageant - The First Category - 1

Meg: "Hey Everyone!  Welcome to the first night of this year's La De Baucherie Magique Fashion Pageant!"

Mac:  "We're really sorry we couldn't make it to the initial introductions...the best laid plans of mice and men and all that."

Meg:  "Funny story there...we were visiting our friends Hank and Gany.  Right when we were getting ready to head out, Hank got stuck in the doorway...can you believe it?  I believe she's currently undergoing something described as an 'udder reduction procedure.'"
 

Mac: "She's being milked Meg."

Meg:  "Call it what you will....there were gallons of white liquid splashing everywhere!  Coulda sworn I was on board the 'Nostromo'!"

Mac:  "Anyhooooo, mooooving on....looks like things are starting.  I see Candy walking down the red carpet now.  She appears to be wearing a Vietnamese Ao Dai - that can only mean that tonight we're seeing the 'traditional/cultural outfit' competition."

Meg:  "Well duh.  Didn't you read the script?  Why do you think we've got these keen hats?  I'm like 'Reach for the sky pilgrim!'.....and you're like, 'Elementary my dear Megamilipod.' And why we've got Gany decked out in that get-up."

Mac:  "That's right - everybody, take a good look at Gany!  She'll be acting as our roving reporter for the next several nights."

Gany: "Frankly, this is a pretty embarrassing - I've told you both a thousand times - Gany is short for 'Ganymede'."

Meg:  "Don't sweat it, you look gorgeous - doesn't she Mac?"

Gany: "I feel ridiculous.  I can't even see my feet."

Mac: "Calm down - she's right...you're smokin!  And speaking of which, here comes our first contestant."

Fashion Pageant Contestant - Wrenzephyr2

Another early entry (tomorrow's will probably be early afternoon).


Sam has attended several schools over the course of her childhood, her parents constantly moving all over Europe for archaeological studies before settling in Winchester in the UK. However, before she started her Junior year at High School her parents sent her to live with her sister, Jenny, in DA City. She was less than pleased with the latest move, having finally found a place to settle in. It didn't help that her sister's roommate was a guy, some idiot named Wren. 

Art Contest Entry - Wrenzephyr2

Another beautiful contest entry by Wrenzephyr2.

Threw in the title myself to match the color and the slot machine theme - although it's actually from a different musical than the contest title ;p

Wrenzephyr2 - Dalmatian's Wish

Well, first off, I just found out that my job will *not* be taking me hither and yon all summer long.  Very relieving and hopefully much more relaxing over the course of the summer.

Secondly, and naturally far more important to you viewers, we have a beautiful new mini-sequence by Wrenzephyr2 - who has definitely developing greatly as an artist over the period I've been watching them.  Poses and looks are coming much more naturally with each new piece.  I'm very happy with the way this one turned out.

Updates to Gift Art and Growing Up Gecko

Just a quick update this week - but still some cool items.  There are more projects brewing on the horizon as always, but for the moment, two new animations from Nobunaga in gift art (TG this time!).

Also a couple of new pin-ups in Growing up Gecko by Wrenzephyr2 - the project isn't dead - just progressing slowly ;p.

Aim to have at least one more good update this week as well.  After that, probably out of town for a few weeks but with good email access, etc.  Thinking about putting up another poll pretty soon - been a while.  Interested in getting some more feedback - and it's easier to click a poll button than to fill out the comments section.

Thanks.

Wrenzephyr2 - Just a Couple of Horndogs

A little two part sequence Wrenzephyr2 worked on for me.  You may have seen the first part previously on DA, but I'm hoping the second part is a total surprise (as if - you may not have seen it, but I'm pretty sure you saw it coming ;p).

The People Have Spoken - 4

Very sorry for the delay in posting this - crazy work as usual.

That said, thanks for voting - this contest has been the best one yet - and I think we can all agree that there was a great pool of talent to choose from.

Congrats to Wrenzephyr2 with his entry!

Art Contest 4 - Mistress Arianna - Results!

Wow!  There were some absolutely amazing entries here!  Thanks so much to all the great artists who submitted pieces for this contest.  It was great to see such a variety of styles and portrayals of my character.

And the winners are....:

Art Contest Entry - Wrenzephyr2

Wow!  Color me impressed.  A little over 3 weeks before the end of Art Contest #4 and we've already got the first entry.

This one comes from WrenZephyr2 - I think I'd seen art by him around before, but definitely someone to keep your eye on!

There are actually two pieces to his submission.  The first is a nice b&w pic of Mistress Arianna, while the 2nd is a great-looking TG/race-change sequence (after the break).
