And, rounding out the story: Knight Boat #6 is assigned to pick up some animals at a crime site and return them to their native habitats (or reserves which are dedicated to those creatures, like a pair of young wyverns) so they end up returning to the Trader's place to take on two wyverns, two orangutans and a panda cub. Severus gets a shock, and is very glad he opted to change his appearance for the occasion, since two of the trainee Aurors who are investigating the site turn out to be Ron Weasley and Harry Potter.

His disguise was perfectly adequate to deceive Ron...

Back at Hogwarts, the House Heads have come up with a plan to eliminate the need for a Sorting Hat, which cannot sort -- and incidentally to eliminate all of the interpose strife which has become such a problem.

And, after the Knight Boat leaves with its live cargo, Ron and Harry open up the sealed cauldron and the Aurors end up having to recapture all the hands. Their supervisor isn't amused.

And so ends the first adventure of Solomon Slade (Severus Snape) and Knight Boat #6.

Caiomhe had spent the early hours doing all the loading on the own but then it was her choice and she couldn't sleep anyway. She now had the last load on board and she pulled up outside the main building the sun rose for the last time, at least for her, their job was finished and the plant could now be run remotely for the most part. She was looking forward to the upcoming break and was keen to leave the planet.

Per request, I'm in the process of converting my Christmas turtleneck from a couple of years ago to fit the G8's.

This was rendered for use as a promo image for the sweater. I liked it enough to keep the base render, though.

G8F, wearing my sweater, and Luthbel's G2F pants and shoes.. the hair is Goldtassel, and I did use G8F Uki on her... though I ended up having to COMPLETELY rework the 3Delight materials into something that was usable, as I simply wasn't happy with the 3DL materials that came with her.

I'm sure she's gorgeous on the Iray side... and I know she can be just as lovely on the 3DL side.
She just needed a lot of fussing at the materials to get her to that point.

I must be on a roll right now. This is the 2nd render this week for me. Cool! Maybe I finally broke out of the block? LOL

What are you suppose to say when the lighting is just right and the render is very good with a good story line, wait a minute, I think I just said it....

Now me ... I couldn't tell you what base figure was used in most renders. Sometimes, I can't tell (or remember) whether it's Dawn or V4 in my renders after August 2013 and into 2014.

I suspect those of you who can identify the base figures used probably know which one I used here. I don't think I strayed all that far from the base.

But, does Mayra scream who she is?

Or Silvestra?

Or ... /cough ... this little darling?

Beastette? Although, she should be easily identifiable too, I had to check the file to be sure.

Or the Flapper?

To be honest. I had to check the files on all of these (except Brielo). Like I said, unless it's out of the box, I rather suck at identifying the base figure.

Use of jet packs were banned in the sky bridge as it was regarded as a sterile environment in the sense that everything with the exception of walkers and passengers must be under the bridge's control. Those that were not aware of the fact would have seen Caoimhe's action as foolhardy but she knew she was safe walking the bridge as the bridge's computer system would have been aware of her presence the moment she entered the bridge. Sensors placed in the wall detected any person or vehicle entering the bridge and all vehicles surrender control to the bridge command system meaning she was totally safe. They had learnt the hard way many years ago this was far safer than individual vehicles having their own independent control and navigation systems. In the observation section of the bridge wall sensors and control data links were replaced with bollards that also provided lane separation which had never yet been needed. The downside was that they were more prone to failure than the sensors and links buried in the wall but on the other hand individual bollards could easily be replaced.

All of the was of little concern to Caoimhe who only knew that she had three choices, walk, use a travel pod or leave the jet pack behind. Leaving the jet pack behind was not an option as the whole point of the outing was doing some serious flying in the mountain region. Travelling in a pod was feasible but uncomfortable with the jet pack so the walk was her chosen option, it was a small price to pay for the fun waiting for her at the other end of the bridge.

My sister: "You don't like cats?" (She calls her cats her kids)

Me: "Sure, in the right sauce."

She hasn't invited me to her house since then.

Love the likeness and yes I do remember the backstory. ALF was right up my street for comedy, I still remember when he was ask to put a jigsaw together, I think it was the episode when he had a knock on the head and thought he was a insurance salesman, anyway when asked to put the jigsaw together his reply was why me, I didn't break it.
