I admit it: I'm a total geek. I love electronics, programming, 3D printing, 3D art, and vintage Apple hardware. I'm always juggling half a dozen projects. I also enjoy documenting it all: my successes, my failures, my experiences... and everything geeky along the way.

I picked up some really cool Centurion armor as well as the Aslan Court. I think they’ll make for a very cool battle scene. I picture something with a ton of Victorias running around killing each other like savages!!! It’ll be EPIC!!!!

I’m going to want to add a ton of blood and gore in post processing, so I want to start out with a little test.

I started out with posing a few Victorias. You can’t pull their heads off, so I actually have one Victoria on the floor with her head hidden and another standing next to the Centurion with her body hidden.

I then dropped in the Aslan Court and applied the Fallen theme.

This set is absolutely huge! I deleted half the stuff off-camera that you won’t even see.

I dropped in some bones, vines, and blood.

I then added some colored lights to simulate either a sunrise or a sunset. You decide. This is just a proof-of-concept, so I’m not going crazy with the lights.

I then took the render into Pixelmator and started applying some blood with some grungy brushes that I have.

I also added some clouds and tweaked the opacity and color to make it look like dirt that’s been kicked up.

Pretty cool. So I think it’s doable. Imagine this, but with 30 Victorias! EPIC!!!!
