Decided to compile a gallery with all my competitions entries and to talk about what I was feeling back then.

I joined Klub Exile At November 20, 2020. I think it was pretty early. But I was very pragmatic and pessimistic about this game community - THANKS MODSGARDEN! -

I used to think that Exilers were a bunch of fops who just wanted to attract attention and divide the community even more. I signed up just because I always enjoyed the game so much and forgot about it. 

December 2020 was when I gave my first dips into the site. I think I've lost most of my content of the game and modsgarden was a mess to find old archives. This site had a better organization, so I stayed for a while to recover my game library.  I remember feeling a bit intimidated by the atmosphere and the talent, and my experience was that talented people in this game were arrogant.

Hello, I'm Morius. Old member of the old forum. Recently I've lost most of my content due to my computer breaking, that was right at the time the old forum was no more, so I lost a lot. I create some texture mods that I hope to share with you as soon I manage to get them done again. Thanks.

@mr jones, patron saint of the newbies was the first one to react to one of my messages. 

Here I also promised to share some of the textures I've created, and I did just a yar later. I kinda regreated to make that promise after browsing the exclusive content we have here. I thought my work would be perceived as shit compared to others and didn't followed through, afraid of wasting site's bandwidth. In modsgarden one of the moderators sent me a personal message asking me to stop uploading my stuff there for the bandwidth. Didn''t want to have this experience again. 

On the same day I did all the newbie charter. Trying to reach the five comments quota. Asked around about the blogs, because I always loved to write. good friend @aardy, the patron saint of troubleshooting, helped me with that, but I also didn't started my blog at that time, because I didn't saw any blogs like mine.

Are you seeing a pattern? Yeah. 

Did three more comments and that was it. I didn't wanted to risk making any more to not upset anyone - in modsgarden I was upsetting people with my questions, yeah. Came back a bunche of times to finish the downloads of my library and abandoned ship. Untill November, 2021 

A year later modsgarden imploded and I found myself an orphan, until I remembered Klub Exile and went to check it out, giving it a go for the first time in a year.  

This time I thought "fuck it, what do I have to lose?" Went straight to memes and my first iteraction this time was with @MarkZappa, Gemini Kanon at that time. Started my routines to like everything I appreciated, and, of course, entered on a download craze. That made my first iteraction with @HDiddy, about the awesome DAZ eyes he uploaded. 
 

Soon enough started to engage the community like crazy, I soon realized that this place was special, and I felt like I was in a playground! Like you can atest on my answer of "Where you guys would be now?" and also here.


Asked questions about the new VX, gave my best to answer other users questions to the best of my ability, and hanged out in the off-topic session. I also uploaded my own stuff. Things that I had and the site didn't, like TNSTM's Nerdroom, Barbarian Sash, Outdoor Amazonia, Winter Refuge - that I did exclusevily thinking on this community that were treating me so well. That time also discovered the comics, and @Oz70NYC works esnared me like I wasn't since a long time! 

That and a good back and forth I had at the time with several other people, shotout to @x17 who I threw at him several ideas I had and he appreciated them. I promise I'll go back to that discord channel with a new pack of ideas! 

Oh, shootout too to @Sexvision I think it was this year that I asked for on crossbow, and he uploaded a whole pack. At the time I didn't know how to use Hook5 objects, but I was surprised by the guy's speed in helping. I was touched and very curious to explore Hook5's potential further.

Goddamit, I was sold. Klub Exile was my turf now. Next step - and the reason of this entry - my Competitions entries!

November 2021 Competition

Well, when I noticed I could place up to 3 entries I naturally placed 3 entries! This actually diminishes your chances to win, because if someone likes your work, he will choose only one of them, and your votes will be spread. But fuck it, I loved - and love Serena, and wanted to show her, so I placed 3 Entries of her.

Well, already had this pose made for a while. The axe I used was a toy that I got on the other place. The story behind it is that Serena had quite a reputation already in the city, but not among the clergy and nobility - for them she was still a barbarian and a mecenary. They decided to reach the House of the most important Triad of Gods - Tyr, torm and Ilmater to research a lore about the former God of Death Myrkul, but she was not allowed to enter, even Arthur Charpentier, a war priest of Torm, speaking for her, they didn't allowed her entrance. She said she didn't wanted to enter anyway and awaited by the stairs of a nearby tavern. 

The picture in itself was taken already on VX with Free Hook5. Castle Room. 

Captured

https://www.klubexile.com/competition/entry/470-captured/

Still have this pose and I think it's pretty cool. Is actually a series of poses where this scene... ahem, escalates. Canonically, Serena and her friends faced some big bands of goblins, but none of them posed a real threat. There was althought a group of goblins slavers that were always interested in capturing the group, but smart enough not to engage directly. In a particular tough adventure on a Zentharim run operation of goods and human trafficking managed by orcs and bugbears, they were defeated and shackled, but Saeven saved them by fooling their captors threatening swift vengeance by his organization - The Harpers. But if he hadn't succeeded, perhaps that could be Serena's reality.

This picture shows the problems of old addons on VX. Here we have Cronan's addons like the goblin's briefs. It's noticeable that the mesh is damaged or malfunctioning.  Also VX and Hook5 free.

I love this one! It als has a sequence of poses, all very cute and kinda sexy of the four by the campsite. Saeven was the main storyteller, but not the only one. Unlike the narcissistic bards we know from the tropes, Saeven likes to encourage his friends to share stories. Perhaps I'll revisit this scene when it's time to tell the story behind it in more detail. 

The picture was taken on Oasis Room, VX and Hook5 free.

December 2021 Competitions

Again I placed three entries but this time apart from each other in the hopes of giving them spacing to aqquire more votes.

This picture it's also a sequence and I love it! Yes, it's just an innocent water splashing game between the tow, nothing naughty happens - taking apart the fact of the bodaceous nude Ainaeleen giggling around. Why do I like it? Because it shows the friendship between the Vanara (monkey man) Ikari Thetsuo and the Silkami (elf) Terasa Ainaeleen. As they are from different species, they aren't as attracted with each other as two of the same kind would. For Thetsuo, Ainaeleen is strangelly furless, and her breasts look like balls, not the beautifull dangling sacks of Vanara women. And to Ainaeleen, Thetsuo is too gangly and furry. But as friends, they love each other.

This one I was very satisfied with the result! It depicts the trio of GEA (Global Exploratory Alliance) female explorers Inger Turindottir - the Jotunian Firbolg Diplomat and sorceress - Kala Malati -    Kalingan Human Warrior - and Althiel Yara - Valesian "Urban Elf" Huntress and Poacher. The trio is caught by a group of scoundrels and now are paying a "fee". It's non canon, but it's fun!

I used photoshop and photo manipulation to allow six models on the scene, it was an attempt of mine to compete with the other entries of veteran users that already knew Hook5 enough to create marvels that I only dreamed of reproducing. I was also inspired on the fantastic @amaronap assemblages. I was very disapointed that this picture didn't fared as well as I hoped. At the time, I followed the debate that ended up with the agreement that, for competitions, photo manipulation were not allowed. Today I think these kind of pictures have it's place on competitions made specially for artists skilled on digital art or photo manipulation, it's another form of incentive and express creativity. And I miss amaronap crazy awesome images!

In this one I used VX, Hook5 Free and Photoshop. The Room is called Dungeon, I think.

I also liked very much this canon image! It depicts the android Julia Newton playing with her friends and pupils  the ManBat Seth "Nightwing", The human millionaire Hyen Urameshi, and the champion prizefighter Luger "Earthquake". They are having a snowball fight in a winter refuge.

This picture, along with Campfire Stories, was on of mine most voted on the year. It als has Photoshop manipulation, the "wintery" feel, the racing snowball and the snow blast are all photoshop aditions.

This non canon picture was loads of fun for me to do and the first glimpse of my dark shocking tastes. This "winter holiday" entry depicts a cruel twist of the holiday, it shows Krampus, the ancient entity that has many variations on Europe. His victims are Gyrio Gunwoo and Karol Won - Stagazer Task Force members, and the stunned man on the foreground is Shinji Tanaka, las a Stagazer agent. 

Create Krampus was awesome. I knew that it would only awe and shock and no one would vote on it, and I was right. It is quite rare competitions entries to receive comments, specially newbie entries. But this one received 4, all of them to express their awe and shock. The outrage!

This one is also non canon and depicts four characters, Santa Claus, Classic Mrs. Santa. The elves are actual original characters of mine. The crazy one is Golden Elf Mage/Thief Danmaera Nynafer, the more serious one is Golden Elf Mage/Seer Leen Albion. They even know each other in the canon story. 

This one is a montage of many pictures. I had so much fun doing this! I had no hopes this one would win, I was only hopeful people would chuckle by looking at this. I don't know if I was sucessful, ever the pessimistic, I assumed not. 

Rocking at the super secret Task Force base

God know how much I love Mari. It's my official mascot here in the Forum and she answers for me many comments I post here! 

Mari has a rich history of ups and downs, but she has always faced misery and bonanza with her head held high and good humor! Her colorful personality and rebellious, outgoing attitude infects and moves everything and everyone around her. Many don't know how to react to her intensity, and at first, she may seem to be trying to force herself, appearing fake. But no, she's like that all the time. This picture shows this contrast, the sternness and discretion of Task Force Stargazer's audiovisual and surveillance room, with two suited agents checking the monitors, clashing and at the same time matching Mari's colorful figure at the front. One of the agents, Hyata Mamoru, turns his head to enjoy the show of the unstoppable Mari Azai. And yes, this picture is canon!

Thanks to Sexvision I was able to make such a cool figure. It didn't do well in the competitions, but it did well in my heart, which is why it illustrates this entry.

I'll update this entry with 2022 entries!
