Long Dreamy Journey



This image took a long time to complete, and it was a total resource thief, making it was a problem, as Poser got really slow with all the figures and prop objects, it was not just elves as figures, its fairies, plants, water, slimy stuff etc…including the mother ship.. However, that was rendered out of poser and a simple prop made in poser, where just the renders textured background plains. Never mind the complex composition of the scene, where there was a constant hiding and redisplaying of props and figures when editing the scene to save memory, rendering it was a major pain in the ass, getting to render it took two days of adjusting memory settings just to get it to render. It was the continuous error message “out of memory” which had me screaming and throwing things across the room out of frustration. I had to increase my virtual memory to 8. something GBs which was the maximum limit windows allowed me, and I had to make other settings as well, monitoring the memory manager, where poser is a physical memory only application, the manager allows freeing all physical to virtual, thinking it is all physical. There is a catch to that; I had to look at the graphs, and when the memory reached a certain limit, manually free it. If you get the timing wrong you get the error message, and timing is not easy since the computer is stuttering and splurting and slow while it is busy. I also disabled the rundll32, and other things, which would cause the error message, and the PC GUI had to be in classic mode equivalent to windows 98-memory usage… so the whole process was a pain in the backside. The crystals were made in my good old faithful Assymetrix a windows 3.1 3D application that resembles to a primitive version of Maya. Which I find is the best program for crystals.



Now the description of the artwork:



Zana and Zanaria the two well known dark elves fly in there little saucer shaped craft and escort the huge 1/4 of the size of Earth's moon to the large green gas giant near the end of there solar system. The reason being that they have to move the mother ship to that end of the solar system, is that the mother ship needs to gather kinetic momentum and to make a slingshot around the large planet, and the anti-gravity thrusters force the ship into hyperspace/warpspace to enable it to travel faster than light speed. The anti-gravity thrusters need to force against the gas giant's heavy magnetic field. Very much, like pushing against the wall of a swimming pool, when doing a swimming race... Once that is achieved, that is to give it a boost, and from there it continues to accelerate at an exponential level where speed of light is the base.

Once they reach the gas giant before the big slingshot, the little saucer ships dock into the mother ship. Once all the ships are docked in, the mother ship changes travel mode from sideways travel to upwards travel, that is, the pyramid’s point is the head of direction. The base of the pyramid opens panels, which reveals the anti-matter engines, in fact its dark matter, but it begins to glow, due to the amount of energy that is emitted from them. Inside the mother ship, one is unaware of the physical extremes of energy and forces on the outside while the ship while performing the sling shot and push. The reason as well for entering hyperspace, here is that one can get a faster boost, which would limit travel time drastically by 20%, where acceleration would be less of an effort for the huge ship. if they exceeded light speed near the Elvin planet with this huge ship, it would cause a "boom" very much like a sonic boom when braking the sound barrier, the light barrier is broken. This causes a release of large amounts of energy which could push there planet out of orbit, as the engines would push against there planet for the thrust. Then they could say good bye to there home Aquarious... where the remaining elves, and mermaid elf like beings would die as well as the seas, and large forest, however the elves of the underworld would adapt to the situation, and the planet that would be hurled in space, well they would use it as a ship... anyway..



Inside the mother ship is hollow but is only 1/4 of the ship (The rest is all engines, docking bays, corridors, rooms etc), as if a pyramid is in a pyramid, and here you would feel as if you never left the planet. On the floor is large wet forests, where the forest floor is covered with water, like a swamp. Between the just near the watery forest floor are hanging cells/ capsules that contain a watery slimy substance, and moving snakey like things. They extend to the trees, fruits and things in the forest, and collect into the centre swirling up a large centre pillar like a beanstalk to the top where the bridge/control sector of the ship is below this. Near the top are four cages connected to it, which hold mini-suns inside, which provide the light, but all is very hazy and misty, due to the large amounts of moisture. And produce a significant orangey glow like morning/afternoon light. All the elves congregate into this biosphere region of the ship. The borgs remain in the thick, dark metal regions of the ship, that is the rooms and such, where they run and operate this large ship.



The elves congregate in the biosphere region since its more like home, with all the trees, swamps and stuff...and that’s where they will settle and undergo "time-freezing" (like a sort of hibernation) since the journey would take 10 years to complete. In the region you would find not just forests, but animals, plants and many fairies, they been living here, even when the ship was being built.



Before the time freeze large groups of elves congregate in the hanging capsules, and browse the condition of journey on the consol available there. The elves giggle, play, touch, hug and kiss, there usual behaviour. The ship's organism quickly comes aware of there presence, and connects to the elves i what way they can. Such as Zana and Zanaria are kissing, or the two elves licking off the sweet jelly substance off the tailed elf which was originally in the pool, the organisms connect to the elf’s organisms, as well as penetrate into the elf’s body openings such as mouth etc.. The organism, deposits food mixed with water into the elves mouths, and the other parts, extract and feed on the elve's waists and other materials. The waists are sent to the processing unit, which feeds the forest. The forest then provides fruit and juices for the elves, as for example, you see the large strawberry being pierced and its substance sucked into the organism where the food is processed into food for the elves and excreted into there mouths. This process forms a cycle so there is no waist, enough food for them. Once all the organisms connect and join the elves, the penetrated sections grow deeper into the elves and secrete chemical stimulants, which increase the passionate behaviour of the elves. Then forces them to group closer together in passionate embrace, this continues, until rhythmic patterns between all elves has been reached, nervous stimulus then occurs increasing this behaviour, elves can then transit thoughts to each other, as well as the ship and borgs connected to the ship in the other sections.

The passion climate continues to rise among the elves until it reaches its peak, when the elves start releasing a constant flow of substance from there bodies into organism and the organism produces a constant flow into the elves. This peak is maintained, and there bodies begin to shudder frantically and there breathing of exhaling and inhaling happen at the same time, at this time the organism moves right into there lungs, right into there stomachs, and right into reproductive and digestive systems and join up inside their bodies and eventually connect all organs, including bones.. Then they only thing they experience is the feeling of climax and there eyes close and appear to fall asleep and drop to the floor shuddering frantically. Their muscles tighten (this procedure is to enable that there muscles never go to waist during the time freeze as would occur to cryostasis/hibernation, in there minds they are asleep, bodies are in ultimate climax. Then the shuddering gets less and slows down to rhythmic movements and there bodies shimmer and vibrate a little, until motion stops, but just a faint shudder and humming remains...

The fluid level of the pool rises and envelopes the elves, and turns to jelly and then a hard rubber like substance...then hard like plastic, then hard as rock. They remain like this for the 9 years. The crystals grow brighter, and keep the auras of the elves strong so they do not loose magic. The ship then remains silent, where as if is empty and only holds borgs, fairies, animals. The elves look as if they came part of the organism, when they wake up they have one year to live with each other normally. The time freezing process takes a week. In addition, to unfreeze the process is reversed. The elves wont remember anything in those 9 years, just the process of meeting, freezing and unfreezing with the after effects of over extraordinary passionate behaviour which lasts a day or two, where they cant stop embracing each other and cry if pulled apart...or loos contact, even if they standing next to each other.



Here in the picture, you see the elves at the first stage undergoing the process of entering time freezing, where they have not reached the climax yet. However the two on the floor have reached the climax, and unaware of what is happening except for the feeling of climax, which kept as a constant. Some reach the climax before others, only when all have reached, then it becomes synchronised which is the second phase, and the third where they actually in time freeze.

They say this method is more fun and safe than cryostasis.
