Those two get in the same journal, as they both happened right after the other!

I'll start talking about mah April Fool project, which wasn't meant to be a big project, but for some reason, a bunch of people did
feel for the bait, and I didn't want to leave anyone hanging, so I had to render a bunch of those silly animations.

Like, where the fug were you guys all come from xP, my macro march form didn't even had 1/3 of the responses those journals did! Yet I got 40+ people in total asking me for stuff in various places, And that not counting Discord friend I caught too xP.

Anyway, making all those silly renders ended up taking me 3-4 days of evening work to give everyone their "request" without leaving anyone hanging. I hope all of you appreciated the silliness!

Anyway, if you didn't catch up where the joke was, I scaled up the armature (basically the skeleton of the model) and just put a animation in it, preferably one with lots of movement, end result is that the animation basically sketch the model in very unnatural way giving you very cursed looking mon!! Technically, something got big! Not in the way that anyone would have expected though!!

For anyone curious to see all of that I did during this fated day, I've made the effort to put all the render I did for it in one handy place, have a .rar with all the silly render I did for dis April fool: https://files.catbox.moe/33pwi9.rar

Next for macro March proper: I've managed to make and render 5 pics total for the whole month of March! Which was the plan I had for this macro march, I've didn't had as much free time as I had during the last 3 years, and didn't really bother to organize something in the size of what I did during the last few years neither, so I just did a thing that would at least encourage me to render big cutie but not too much to get burned out, I've made a form for people to suggest me what to make big as well as idea for macro scenario! But I didn't had that many requests somehow, still, I had enough choice to know what I could render that I would still be happy with~

Dere an extra break-down for each pic:

Pic 1 Mesprit:
Out of all the propositions, Mesprit was probably the choice that inclined me the most to complete; the idea that's came with it was: “Giga-sized Mesprit holding Mega-sized Azelf and Uxie on her tail looking smug about her even more enormous size than theirs”, very cute idea! So I've started working on it shortly before March.

I took the scene for this render for two reasons: one is to obviously have the lake guardian model ready, and two was because I also wanted to redo a pic with those adorable red chain necklace~

Background was kinda bad. I tried to follow  tooeks city geometry node tutorial in his discord serv but turn it wasn't really what I needed for this render in particular, ended up being too lazy to try to go for another background, so I just rolled with it.

Pic 2: Calumon

The only not Pokemon idea that got my interest, there was like... Only 2 answer that had not Pokemon choice for some reason and the other was basically just request me some random human giantess lmao (I'm not against the idea of giantess, but it wasn't cute stuff!!!)

The model was from here,, rigging was a bit sus but wasn't a problem for this pic.

This one took me the least time to complete overall, I just recycled the city for an old pic and the loomy view was easy to do.

So I've tried to make some improvement to the make the final pic look better, tried to imitate this pic as a ref, the chaos in particular, but I think I kinda failed at doing the look from afar well enough...

I also tried to set up true sky, but wasn't what I wanted in term of general look, just added cloud form it, also attempted fog, wasn't satisfied again and then doesn't wanted to work more at the pic so I just released it like the final result that was shown.

Pic 3: Meloetta

I've Slacked off at that one, took longer then it should have.

Idea was: “Tinies sliding down an Aria-forme Meloetta's hair, or a Pirouette-forme Meloetta's dress! The Meloetta can then be giggling about it as she watches." as well as "Beeg Melo having tinies stuck in her hairs”, two different people proposed Meloetta, or it was the same person giving me different idea? Not sure, either way, I figured out that I wanted to do both Meloetta form.

I'm not sure why I've chooses other mystical Pokemon as the tiny, I think it was because I've read tiny mystical for the idea proposed, work better for it anyway!

Posing wasn't too bad, Hoopa portal was lazily done, but because it small size stuff, doesn't really mattered for the final pic.

The background was taken from boumbee growth drive 2, removing the tree.

Render 4: Ogerpon

Actually a WIP I've never been done with, figured it would be a good opportunity to finish. The idea note for my wip pic was: “Ogerpon giant dirt stomp, something loomy looking”

I used the same city geometry node as the one from the Mesprit, but improved from following the extra tutorial to have the building rotating, and with a small extra modification to have building only instancing in a vertex group, which I can just vertex paint to choose where I want part of the city to appear from.

I think it turned out alright, building Particle was probably a bad idea (too much clipping); I should have probably posed those manually, was lazy, still, final pic looked good.

Render 5: Lurantis

Planned to be pic 4, ended up as pic 5 as was unsure which pokemon I wanted

End choice was

• Ribombee
• Lurantis
• Jirachi
• Steenee

Ended up with Lurantis anyway, as 1. lurantis got 2 votes and 2. The other three were stuff I've done before by me or were too similar to my other render I did before, and 3. I was given a prompt unlike the other proposition: “Big Lurantis using solar blade”

Started with background, I just decided for scenecity but only keep building to have the “city in the middle of nowhere” trope.

Solar blade itself required me some thought, searched for laser and got this tutorial, which was what I was looking for the laser part

Base was lazy and was just a variant of the laser, it actually looked heh for me, but the bloom hides most of the bad look; it basically just looked like a ball with some noise in the extremities.

Tried to look for a better base, thought gunfire, which gave me the term "Muzzle flash" as a search word, found this tutorial, and it felt like close enough to what I wanted.

After doing it in blender, it wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it was stylized close enough for Pokémon stuff, at the end, but I've kept the old base as an alt pic as it looks more illuminating.

And... That's all the pic I had; I've also done more rendering, especially between pic 4 and pic 5 because I simply came up with lots of ideas during that time for some reason!! Leavanny city walk is one of them, but I'll also have a few more animation that I need to post soon as well as two WIP render that I'll probably finish soon enough.

At the end...Am just a cute big cherrim!!
