April Fools 2024

Apr 8, 2024

Everything all in one place! Minus some of the random Lego photos interspersed with these renders and all that.

For those who want to see everything from their original posts, here's a handy link to an advanced search for all of those... https://twitter.com/search?f=live&q=(from%3Asaftkeur)%20until%3A2024-04-05%20since%3A2024-03-30&src=typed_query

Technically everything was already posted in full resolution, but I have no idea what Twitter's compression is like on these. So consider this an extra bonus for everyone; all of the images are rendered in the same default 4k(?) size that my phone takes photos in ^^

As an extra extra bonus, I'll also be aiming to post a nice behind the scenes on these later, since it's a more involved technique than my usual due to the photos being involved! I got it more or less figured out this year to make it as simple as possible, but it's still pretty complex (and I'm quite proud of it). Not quite as far as 3D tracking and stuff like you'd use for VFX in movies, but a similar concept.
Expect that in... probably not for a couple of days at least, since I have some other IRL job things to take care of, but we'll see where I find the time for it!

The kind she plays with or the kind she eats...? Sometimes everyone becomes both~

The benefits of having cow biology; she can simply ruminate her tiny friends after the meal, so really, what's stopping her from putting everyone into the 'eats' category when she's feeling especially peckish! All those sweet little friends looking cute enough to eat, and Maple just can't resist, today...

Okay one last piece for this! A bonus part 4 because there were a few requests and the sequence felt like it needed a little more :D

"Aaah~"

What a way to start the day, getting to participate in Maple's breakfast like this~ About to find out just how comfy and cozy Maple can be, both inside and out! And a lovely indulgence for her, too, getting to enjoy all her sweet and delicious friends in the early morning. <3

Would you ever get used to this sort of experience? Of course, you could always just tell her if you've decided you'd rather not be the sort of friend she eats... Though also of course, there's no guarantee she remembers for everyone, so if you're still intending on being one of Maple's tiny friends, it's probably good to at least be prepared for this possibility~

A finish to this 'quick' little sequence already, though there's still plenty of opportunities to see other sides of Maple in the future :D I hope you've enjoyed it all!
