"You're stuck inside a sand pit with no way to climb from your fall, but climbing wouldn't save you as you're also stuck amidst an endless desert; up there, you see a beautiful yet scary figure in a red leather dress; Her black and red hair flowing between Her Aries-like horns as She wanders, Her wings are flapping menacingly. She's prowling the pit, and She's carrying a sharp, long scythe; Her eyes were a black hole void until they started glowing green when you saw Her and She saw you, now She started grinning at you: you feel your time is over as you feel something sharp and cold touching your neck. You're dead, and now Death Herself became visible as The Death's Kiss suddenly and literally appears in front of you."

The picture is a cut from a larger 2K stereoscopic (VR) scene belonging to a short animation I spent several hours to build using a convoluted Blender + ImageMagick + FFMPEG pipeline. The original animation, I'm afraid, is unpublishable (suggestive content alongside potentially disturbing jump scare, as well as the potentially eye straining nature typical of auto-stereoscopic VR), even underneath content warnings, so I'm limiting myself to this cut. You're free to DM me if you wish to see the full animation.

Trivia: I provoked a jumpscare to myself while I was choreographing my own scene project. Didn't have the same jumpscare while I was watching to the final animation. The way I designed the project in Blender, including the meticulous configuration for the pair of cameras glued to the man's eyes, yields this interesting sense of 3D depth without even needing VR goggles (it turned to be auto-stereoscopic if I position my smartphone in landscape mode in front of my eyes and try to focus my vision afar).

"Think time's over? It was long over already, you were just too distracted by the woman in red to wake up to it, Neo! Apropos, the fact that one is unable to escape Death has little to do with the fact that one gets caught by sharp blades of a merciless scythe; it's has to do with the fact that one gets caught by a mesmerizing, deep gaze. And whenever you stare into the abyss long enough, the abyss stares back at you (and it just takes a femtosecond, and when one realizes it, if one realizes it, it's too late)".

----

Even though I actively added censor bars to this picture, the original, IMHO, has no explicit nudity given the low angle that occludes the breasts and specific illumination angle that casts a shadow onto the pubic region (not to mention how the "vag..." in the uncensored CharMorph's Antonia Polygon character is a vague, low-poly vertical rift, and I didn't sculpt a better/proper one like I did with the toenails and vampire fangs because my actual focus isn't even pornographic to begin with).

----

A little more than 3 hours rendering this 2K image, even though it (accidentally) used all the CPU cores (usually, I set it to use a single thread so not to toast my old i5-7200U). I let the computer doing the rendering while I went to sleep.

The appearance of tapetum lucidum in Cycles rendering, as well as the negative-valued overlay of make-up (initially the lips, later expanded to eye shadows and the cheek rubor/blush typical of red-hairedness) are something that I still need to improve because, for some reason (actually, the energy conservation rules inherent to the Cycles engine), an Add Shader with negative-valued color (which is both my attempt to imitate the real-life behavior of pigments aka "CMYK/subtractive", and an attempt to have the make-up independent from the CharMorph NodeGroups whose output is a BSDF instead of a sRGB color value that could be changed seamlessly further down the node flow) is either imperceptible (if I stick to the same Diffuser BSDF I've been using with Eevee) or too aggressive (if I use Emitter BSDF), and the emitting-reflective surface I come up with for tapetum lucidum material seems to always glow a vivid green no matter the camera angle and light conditions (for comparison, in Eevee rendering, as seen in the video I published a few days ago, the tapetum lucidum behaves very close to the actual thing, with the eyes ranging from void black to green as intended).

For pride month @GoblinArchives gives out a $150 fund from the Liminal Horror community to support LGBTQIA2S+ creators. Does not have to be Liminal Horror-related, and runners will be featured in the next newsletter.

All you have to do is join the Discord and submit the form below: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScqdmFKparnZbbPe61v6G17WTGvLlY11PrawEXhIdJ8_Vup9w/viewform

Liminal Horror - Pride 2026

For Pride this year, we wanted to give back to the LGBTQIA2S+ members in the Liminal Horror community in a more direct manner, as we wouldn't be here in the same capacity without your support along the way so far. So if you fall under that umbrella, we want to hear about the projects you're currently working on. These don't have to be for Liminal Horror specifically, just something you're excited to share and talk about. From the submitted entries here, we'll pick the one that excites us the most as well and give that creator $150 from the LH development funds to put towards making their project a reality, no strings attached. For the rest, at the end of the month after submissions have closed, we'll gather up the entries and shout them out in a future newsletter so folks can follow along on their progress and lend their support as well. If interested, fill out the form below! For the sake of verification and accountability, only members of the Liminal Horror Discord server are eligible for the development fund award.

I am write a scenario for the TTRPG Liminal Horror. The system has a pretty good structure to write your own stuff but the community as some really great ressources as well.

I very good is the workshop for the classic jam, either watch the entire workshops or just the presentation is enough to push you in the direction to create some stuff: https://liminalhorrorrpg.com/seminars/#adapting-a-mystery-liminal-horror-writing-seminar
