Hearth (Patreon)

Stone and wood warded off the elements, wind and snow beating themselves tired upon its unflinching vigil, and in the midst of them stood the hearth and home - where fire and bodies were warm alike, and where weary travelers might find relief and rest.

She, if anyone, personified it all, this bastion of life in the cold, unforgiving landscape - and she was eager to share her warmth with anyone who might have it.

So they pilgrimed to the hearth, man and monster alike.

Wallpaper to try out the Sif model and how she responds to lighting etc since she's been doing very well in polling lately. Overall a pleasant enough result, though I feel the animator's angst close in on me whenever I look at her hair - either way, I hope you enjoy it :)

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for all of your kind words! Fingers crossed that they find what the hell is up with my ears tomorrow as I'm very much on the dizzy side today, and it's seriously beginning to make my work, both day job and my 3D endeavors, suffer. Hope you're holding up well wherever you are, and may all of us get a decent start to 2023, as it's early still.

To facilitate thusly, make sure to take care of yourselves, and each other!
