Thank you. I think they would consider it offensive being called a brothel.

Thanks, but there is only one small oblivion shot, the rest is Skyrim.

Nice work....and a great effort in your stories as usual.

I would like to ask you how many time do you need to construct a story like that.....but i let you this secret ?

However, I have another technical question.

Do you write the story/ texts before images?

Or do you create all dialogs and images in the same time?

tell me.

good work.

Thank you for your comment.

The time to create something like this varies heavily between the different entries.

There is typically a "preproduction" phase where I pick locations and modify them in the Creation Kit, or create my own, choose and adjust outfits and customize NPCs. For example Lenora got different hair then her default follower version, or I turned Vex from the Bijn replacer into a vampire with a different haircut. Also the dress Nora is wearing is a custom edit and re texturing of a mod from the nexus, stuff like this. There are just a lot of little things you have to take care of before each entry.

Sometimes this is takes quite long up to 15-20 hours depending on what I'm doing. Sometimes like (C6S3) it's very easy to do as it mostly uses outfits and locations that I used before. This entry here was definitely on the upper end.

Then there is the screenshoting phase which is between 10-20 hours depending on the length of the entry. I spend most of the time here adjusting the lightning for each shot and adjusting NPC positions and their poses via the NiOverride Pose Adjustment Mod.

Then writing which takes me a lot longer then it should as this is one of the things I like the least. I'm terrible at writing and writing in English doesn't make it easier for me, but overhaul this is between 5 - 10 hours. 

Posting the entry and some minor cosmetic edits in GIMP take another 2 hours or so. So on average something between 20-40 hours per entry, but I've also spend entire weekends just building locations and stuff that I used later  (I really enjoy this). 

As you already saw I don't have an actual script when I start. I have the whole scene planned and know which shots I want to have, but I don't have a script, writing comes typically much later. I've like 20 entries with screenshots that need writing right now, but I do take notes during screenshoting of how I want my conversation to go and I use these notes as a starting point for later.

Glad you liked it!

And yes, you should definitely work on that story of yours!

Nice!  Fina is looking a bit nervous there. 

Yvonne and the Euphoria receptionist look very much alike.....Are they the same person? if so...a clue seems to be in how Yvonne knows about the situation and the other vampires don't. That's what lead me to wonder so, because the receptionist and Yvonne look alike but their eyes are different.... could it mean if at that time (if they are the same person) that it was around the time the receptionist first turn into a vampire? That would be an interesting event to see because I've never seen Nora turn somebody into vampire and if she did I didn't see it. Don't mind me you can tell me, that's crazy talk...You have such a wild imagination.  

Quality work as always. ?

Somebody maxed out their perception stat, nice catch  . In fact, the only reason to show the first couple of images of the next scene was to make the connection to Nora's guests and to give a hint of the story direction.

To this point, we've never seen Nora creating a vampire, nor do we know of any vampires she created.

Don't know who Mola Ram is, but I take that as a compliment, thanks!

Oh man, great job! Fina's expressions when they were cutting open the boy were priceless xD I fucking died. Really interesting entry overall too. I'm already hooked! I love the way you showcased the photos in the end, I felt like I was watching a show. Fantastic!

Impressive work, as usual, nearing professional quality I think. For someone who doesn't thinks about the script first, I'm a freaking amazed by the effect of some scenes (Kristoff's correction, the diner's "start", the reactions of young Nora at the inn...). There were a few coding mistakes though (one where Nora's speech is coded as Kristoff's, another when it is coded as Victor's). But lighting, poses, expressions, ambiance and staging, everything is a reading pleasure. Thanks for bringing it to us, Alter !

Thanks for the praise and pointing out the coding mistakes. I'll have a look at it. 

I do have a good idea of what I'm going to do, down to certain poses and emotions I want my characters to show in certain shots, but I haven't written down individual lines, which is what I would call a script. But I'm not making this stuff up on the fly .

 Malicia, solidarizing with Nora, sure that's really you?

Which would be perfectly fine btw ; in the end all that matters if the final result.
