I was clinging on for dear life. My mind was quivering, and I think I was on the verge of losing it. The absolute enormity of the situation, the reality breaking realisation that this was actually happening, and the total unpreparedness of the human brain to comprehend it. I knew I was small. I was tiny, minuscule even. I had shrunk, or been shrunk, and now the size of a flea I was desperately trying not to lose my grip and fall deep into my boss’s cleavage.
My hold was fairly secure. When you’re this small skin isn’t smooth, there are plenty of ridges and cracks to grip onto, but it’s not solid either. It’s not like you’re climbing a mountain with rocks, but more like a cliff face made of cushions from a worn leather sofa. The delicate little hairs covering her body were like translucent branches, or long reedy grass. I was on her chest, so I could feel the beat of her heart thundering through me. The rise and fall as she took her breaths sent me up and down dozens of feet every few seconds, and there was a constant rumble that overwhelmed my bones. This was her talking. That sharp voice that snapped so often was now a thick and rolling thunder. I could just about make out the words but my body was shaken by the vibrations until my skin felt numb.
I looked up the immense canyon I found myself in, over the perfumed and puckered skin of her tanned breasts, at the underside of her chin. It almost didn’t look like it could be human, a body so big. Her facial features seemed separated from each other somehow, as different parts of a landscape. Those thick glasses supported by a nose that was like the entry to a cave system, golden hoop earrings that would be like majestic monuments in a capital city. I looked down. There was so much heat coming from down in that dark canyon. It could swallow me whole and grind me up. But it was incredible. I couldn’t help myself but pucker my lips and touch them to the wall of skin. Then I licked. I could feel myself stiffening. Slowly I began to grind, losing myself to the moment.

Alternative views of Shadow Over Manhattan. I was a little restricted with the angles because of there being so little of the rest of the city or environment in this model. However, I know you all love a pov so there’s plenty of that.
I’ve accidentally posted this a day early but I’ll leave it up!
A bit of a technical overview for some of the things I was trying to achieve in the main image. I didn’t include any of the effects in the renders for the alt angles as they were taking so long!
I haven’t done a multisize piece for a very long time it seems, and although there isn’t much in the way of interaction between the models it seemed like one of those situations where multisize would add something extra to the scene. One of the reasons I used to do it more when I was drawing is that it’s not that hard to put in an extra giantess. In Blender/3D, when you add in an extra model it can jump the render time up by many hours because you need to use CPU instead of GPU all of a sudden. With the Genesis 9 models from Daz that I normally use you need to have HD in order for there to be nipples or navels at all, so it increases the number of polys drastically, which also increases the render time, and the time it takes to export the model from Daz, and import it into Blender. Because of this I used some G8 models I have had for a while but not used before (I have more of these from 3rd party suppliers now, because some of them are really fun). It makes it less heavy to have multiple models in a scene.
Another thing I wanted to do was use some photoshop brushes to work in post, and still be able to put the whole image back into Blender in layers to do compositing. To be honest I haven’t got completely on top of it yet, but I am really happy with the results here. I also used these water effect brushes in the last Gulliver Retold chapter, and I think these look even better here. I’m hoping to use them more for water scenes as it’s very very heavy to be able to simulate water properly in Blender, especially when you’re looking for fairly realistic really big water effects that beings of this size would produce. With the alt angles I didn’t use any water effects or brushes as it’s a lot of work in post and hard to get to work in more extreme angles. As I say, I’m really glad with how these turned out though!
This week we’re going on a fantasy adventure. I’d love to do more orcs/goblins and fantasy stories, and I have had something in mind for giant goblin girls for years that I want to make happen one day. It’s not exactly monster girls but something a bit more out there than vanilla, and in a world where magic most definitely exists. If you can appreciate the green and hairy brute then this one will be for you! Forgive the writing on this, it’s a bit basic, a bit of a send up of the sword and sorcery style.Mini Boss tier subscribers have access to 2k images, Big Boss and Mega Boss tiers to 4k.

The adventurers had got this far, to the end, it seemed. They stood in the throne room at the top of the tower, where the evil mage had ruled from. The dark mage cackled and hacked blood up onto her sleeve as she lay on the floor, battered from the fight. The elf mage approached.
“This is the end for you and your reign of terror Morganna. This land shall be free of you now!”
Raising her head, Morganna mustered the last of her strength to bring up her hand.
“Oh you fools. You may have broken my body, but you have misjudged me. The ceremony is complete, and your destruction is at hand. All I have to do is…” Morganna clicked her fingers, and a faint green light glittered at her fingertips, a whisper of ghostly smoke rising from it. At first the air was still and quiet, but as Morganna’s cackles began to rise, suddenly the castle began to tremble. Blocks of masonry started to fall from the ceiling, and before the adventurers could retreat the floor itself cracked and erupted upwards as if he earth itself was forcing them skywards. Great black coils broke into the throne room, like a cursed forest. And the thick walls crumbled around them. There was blackness.
The heroes slowly woke to a changed world. They were now outside, the great vault of the evening sky above them, and a cold wild howling. There was a strange thunder in the air, continuous and rolling, and sensual. It seemed to coincide with the moving of the earth, great heaves and yaws, throwing the landscape up and down.
“By all that is holy!” Screamed the priest, “It is an orc! A great she orc!”
Suddenly they all saw it. The land they were standing on was the body of a female orc warrior, swelled to titanic proportions. The undulating ground were her abdominal muscles, the naval a pit, in front of them. The forest was her immense and dense bush, and the mountains ahead of them were her breasts, a great valley between heaving hills to her face. A slick, sinuous tongue licked her lips. The ground was undulating as she moved. She was moaning. The heroes could only guess what was causing her pleasure, but it seemed a hand worked away far behind them, and the towers of the castle lay in ruins around her crotch.
“Charge!” screamed the dwarf warrior, as he started the long march towards the face, on the other side of the valley of death, while the elf mage unleashed a stream of fireballs that exploded against the orc’s hide with no discernible effect.

The alt angles are really good this week I think, there’s so much going on in this image that there are loads of fun angles to explore. Mega boss members also get access to 4 extra alt angles in 4k, including the shot from the phone!
I’m going to start by saying that I threw a lot of things I’ve learned, and new add ons and assets into this image; from building the beach from scratch, to the new crowd generator, sculpting, to adjusting the materials of the models as they are imported into Blender from Daz… there’s a lot of work in here, and I think that it’s about the peak of what I can do now. Granted I’ve learnt a couple of extra tricks in the compositor and photoshop since, but they wouldn’t have made that much of a difference here. Anyway, I hope you enjoy. It’s a short story this week as It’s really just a picture of two women walking along a Beach with a phone and a handful of tinies…
*
Brooke was beaming into her phone. “Hey y’all! Hope you’re having a great weekend! I’m just here with Brit: Say Hi Brit”, The blushing redhead smiled and waved at the phone, managing to look extremely excited and awkward at the same time. Brooke continued, “It’s a beautiful evening and we’re just down at the beach getting ready to see the sunset concert. Now, many of you may be new followers on here since we kinda blew up yesterday.” Brooke’s eyelids fluttered sheepishly and Brit reflexively heaved a huge gagging laugh. “I just wanted to say that out lives may have changed forever but we still want to do fun things and enjoy ourselves. Anyway, if you saw us on the news last night we’ve about doubled in size since then so we kinda outgrew that compound we got taken to… Luckily we still have our cute outfits and I understand from our new agent (Stella is a total babe, love you Stella) that we’ve got some clothing sponsorships coming up that you’ll be able to get your hands on soon. Anyway, that’s it for now, we’ve found some honeys who are down to party tonight so we’re going to have some fun and we’ll post more later from the concert. Just remember: Supersize it!”
Both girls waved before Brooke stopped recording and posted the video. “I’m still not so sure about that catchphrase but it’ll have to do for now. Geeze, that’s like, 2 million followers since lunchtime. Wild.”
“Oh my god, I just wish these little people would stay out from under my feet, I can barely walk. Where did you say this concert was? I can’t see a stage anywhere…” Crunch “Oops.”
Welcome to Chapter 4 of Gulliver retold. I’ve once again had to split this chapter into two parts as it's going longer than my standard 40 pages. Part 1 here has 37 pages. I can't give an eta on part 2 but I'm already 10 pages in. I'm not posting a pdf now as it will only need to be changed out later when the parts are combined, so I will post it when part 2 of this chapter is out.
After meeting the Emperor and Empress of Lilliput, Maria has the afternoon to herself before any food will be ready for her. Anxious to explore, but wary of the Emperor's invitation to stay within the palace grounds, she seeks out some entertainment.
As before, access is split between tiers, with Mega Boss tier having the 4k version, Big Boss, the 2k version, and Mini Boss, the 4k single images. Mini bosses will get access to the 2k version in a month when the chapter will also go public on Itaku.

There’s not that many alternative angles this week as the scene takes so long to render and the clouds are really what makes it so I didn’t want to do away with them. I thought I’d make sure we got some shots from below though ;) There are also different poses and hair options that I tried.
I got carried away with how gorgeous the clouds and the model looked in the alternative angles for In The Clouds, so I’m sharing the 4k renders with you here on Mega Boss tier, along with a 4k versions of the WIPs. Thank you so much for your support, being part of this tier really makes a huge difference to me and I try to give you some extra bits whenever I can.
*This was a pretty difficult image to write a story for as there’s so few elements to form a narrative around. Despite the apparent simplicity of the image it took an eternity to render because of the clouds, which I think turned out really well. I’ve also attached the original WIP that took 90 hours over Christmas to render in 4k. I wasn’t going to be around so I could let it run and see what it could do. Needless to say I didn’t put the settings that high again! I realised that the hair had really not worked and needed to be changed, and I decided to do away with the dress. I also played around with the materials of the clouds some more to make them look much more realistic. I worked through some different hair options which Big/Mega Boss tiers will be able to see, along with a couple of alternative angles.*
There was a ping as the fasten seatbelt sign illuminated. A male voice came in over the tannoy.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. I just wanted to give you a quick update as we begin our descent into Cancun. I would ask you to return to your seats as I have switched on the fasten seatbelt sign. The weather in Cancun is… Oh my god good heavens…” The voice broke from its practiced monotony and rose to a piercing screech. “ Banking! Everyone fasten your seatbelts now!”
The plane pitched violently. Several bodies flew across the cabin, thudding heavily against walls, seats, and other passengers. The tightly packed space was filled with screaming.
*
In the cockpit the captain watched slack jawed as the wall of tanned flesh seemed to fall both towards and away from them. Where before he had been looking at a continent of tanned flesh he could now see an eye - eyes - a face, smiling at them, at him. The gigantic pupil was focusing on them. He could see the rich brown muscles of the iris contract and expand as it looked for them, and then a beautiful smile broke out on the mountainside of face. He looked at the altimeter, they were still at ten thousand feet. This was impossible.

Anna grinned. There was a tiny dot approaching her. It had just popped out of a cloud and was heading directly for her chest. Cheekily she bent over to try to find it at eye level. It took a moment to locate such a tiny object but it seemed to move slowly through the air and the con trail helped her spy it.
“Awww, que lindo es. Ten cuidado o me golpearás.”
Playfully she opened her mouth for a moment before she giggled and stepped out of the way as the plane moved past her.
Lennie leaned over towards Marshall. “Yo, so my wife says she thinks we should get out of the office, out of downtown. She’s sent me a message. She thinks there’s something going on.”
“Going on? Didn’t you just get back from vacation? Need a little more time off?”
“I’m serious man, I think there’s some kind of incident.”
The hum of a busy office on a Tuesday morning started to rise as the ping of messages hitting phones began to crescendo. More voices rose in volume until only a few seconds later an alarm went off. The noise was ear splitting. The building started to sway and through the floor Lennie could feel an odd thumping. Mr Treadwill opened the door to his office as he was putting on his jacket.
“Ok everyone we need to evacuate the building. It’s not a drill. Use the stairs. In an orderly manner please!”
People started collecting their possessions and making their way towards the fire exits. Then a scream came from beside one of the windows. Then screams and shouts from all along the side of the office facing east. At first people stopped to try to see what everyone was so scared of, and then they bolted for the exits in mad panic.
Erin moved against the crowd as the office began to clear and stood up by the window, reaching out to touch the glass with her flattened palm. “Oh my…”
An erection moved past the window. It was as large as a parade blimp. Erin could imagine herself sitting on top of it and riding it like a whale. It bobbed as it stood out at from the giant’s body at an almost perfect right angle, the tip swaying, rising and falling, with each step that he took. Veins inflated like fire hoses pumped untold amounts of blood into this gigantic throbbing manhood. Erin watched as his hairy, sagging balls wobbled. Cupping them would be like trying to cup a hot air balloon. She dribbled a little from the side of her mouth. Then within seconds it was gone. She strained to see against the glass as his tight pair of buns receded down the street to the south, the shaking stopped, and the sounds of the screaming crowds and the alarm came back into focus. She wanted to see more. She had to get onto the street.
This week’s post didn’t have any alt angles as they didn’t really work, so I’m releasing it with the alternative concept art for Target Acquired that I’d previously talked about. In this version I’ve got different lighting and a slightly different angle, and I hadn’t yet come up with the idea of using multiple helicopters to surround the couple. The biggest difference for me is the change in scale of the models. Here the couple are rendered at true scale (the models are scaled up and the city is actual size). There is less of a fleshy, human quality to the skin, although I think that the lighting might have something to do with that, and the lack of detail here. I do often use true scale, but ultimately here I didn’t think it worked as well so I rendered the final version in miniature. Or at least where the giants models are the size of normal humans and everything else around them is shrunk. But the camera angles and lighting might have been better here… What do you think? In any case I wanted to share these with you.
Fun fact, the male model is the same as in this week’s release: View From The Top.
Here we go! A load more WIPs from the new chapter of Gulliver Retold. Maria Gulliver has had her audience with the Emperor of Lilliput and entertains herself by taking a few of the palace workers for an afternoon off while the royal kitchens get to work preparing a welcome feast. Most of these images are renders that didn't pass quality control for sometimes very minor reasons. Funny lighting reflections, a bit of poke through on the clothing, some textures that I wasn't happy with or a pose that didn't quite work. Sometimes there just needed to be more detail and action. There's not a lot of nudity in this part, as we are leading up to some naughtiness, but there's plenty of cleavage and interaction. So, please wait patiently for a few more weeks for the chapter to release, and enjoy these WIPs. It's coming soon!
Hello and a late Happy New Year! I hope you've all had a good start to 2025. I know I have been very slow with the next chapter of Gulliver Retold but I can at last tell you that it's almost here! I have been working away really hard on it and have been remembering to save WIPs, drafts, mistakes, and renders that for whatever reason aren't going to make the final cut. I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to share something for all the hundreds of free members we have here! I normally don't share anything for free as almost everything tends to be NSFW and so can't be published on Patreon without a paywall. As Maria Gulliver is keeping herself clothed I can put this out on the public side. This image is actually very close to the final render for this page but I had messed up the water and then I've added a few tiny swimmers in the final version. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to continue the story. I've had to put all long form stories on hold during a challenging time in my personal life and have just wanted to make sure I could get weekly renders out. These long form stories tend to be about 30x as much work for me so it's a lot of extra time to invest in something that still just covers a weekly post!
I'm just putting together a post for Big Boss and Mega Boss tier subscribers with another six WIPs in 2k which I will post very shortly. I'm at 39 renders for this chapter so far. It doesn't feel like a natural conclusion for the chapter so I'm going to do another render and then release it as Chapter 4 (part one) before I get to work on part 2. It expect it to drop in a couple of weeks here on Patreon as I still have to write it and format it. As always it will be available to Big Boss tier in 2k and Mega Boss tier in 4k, with a downloadable pdf. The chapter will then be available on Itaku four weeks later with the 2k pdf then being available to Mini Boss tier.
Paul and Emma stepped out of their car and walked in silence to the barrier at the side of the bridge. Tears welled up in Paul’s eyes. Emma took his hand and squeezed it firmly. Paul’s eyes were focused on the far distance, at the figure almost lost in the haze. She was probably fifty miles away but in a few leisurely strides she could be on top of them. Emma looked around at paraphernalia that was familiar but monstrously distorted by scale. A lipstick had crushed the freeway intersection and a half dozen blocks of the industrial district they were in. It loomed over them like a vast alien spacecraft, the stench of cosmetic chemicals filling their nostrils. Behind it a leather handbag. Lying on its side it was still dozens of stories tall. A flat topped mountain. Its scale was reinforced as three military helicopters flew past its zipper like gnats. To the right a discarded leopard print bra covered the whole of the Northern suburbs. The empty padded cup rose above skyscrapers and formed a canopy of polyester over the football stadium, university campus, and train station. Directly ahead of them a bright scarlet high heeled shoe rose into the sky. The sole and heel formed a gigantic arch that spanned the downtown area. The blaring red was muted by that same haze of distance that shrouded the giantess. The ground shook after each of her steps, and plumes of dust rose into the air. Each footstep as powerful as a nuclear explosion. Fires burned all around them and the smoke mixed with the monstrous smells of the enormous everyday items that now defined the skyline.
Emma turned to Paul and stroked his chest, nuzzling her head against his neck. “This might be it babe. This might be the end.”
“It might be babe, but let’s not wait here to find out.”
Paul reached out to Emma’s face, and lifting her chin, gazed into her eyes. She rose to give him a lingering kiss, and the world seemed to go quiet. When their lips parted they slipped back into their car and left the bridge, trying to find a route east, and away from this carnage.
The World’s End shot had to be set up in very specific ways so there wasn’t really an opportunity for alternative angles so I thought I would go for a behind the scenes approach instead. All the objects were placed so as to dominate the landscape but still reveal the view. There is a good amount of false perspective here to try and reduce the render time. If everything was true scale the amount of volume in the haze of distance would have been vast, and I would have less control over the way the final image looks.
Because of the false perspective, the further things are from the camera the smaller I’ve made them relative to each other. Because of this I can’t give you a true size of the giantess. This is often the case for my images. I’d rather produce a really compelling image than worry about being able to calculate the giant’s (or tiny’s) height. You can see the layout of the ground with all the huge items lying around, and how the illusion of a city and distance is created. I’ve also shown the couple standing on the bridge looking out at the end of the world. The giantess looks strange because at this size the skin materials don’t really work as the effects that give the skin the lifelike translucent quality normally work with real world sizes. When they are scaled up like this they look more like statues made of marble. In the main image it works because she's so far in the distance that she is a blue shadow.
There is something really cinematic about this scene, and I was thinking of films like Tremors when I was putting it together. In some ways a tight camera view would have worked amazingly as the main image but the wide view showing all of the action and telling the story from the point of view of the arriving patrol cars and seeing more of the landscape was more satisfying in the end. There’s a few glitches in these alt angles that don’t look as bad in the main image but overall I’m very happy with them and I think they help tell the story and give little insights.
I decided to go wild with the render time and there are 4k versions of these alternative angles for Mega Boss tier subscribers as a special thank you for the extra support. Catch you all in the new year!
In the image there are police, in the story they’re sheriffs. I don’t have the clothes and the cars to make it make sense right now. You’ll have to imagine or mentally bleep over it. Sorry!
“Shitshitshitshit.”
“Ronnie get back in the damn car.”
“Shitshitshitshitsh..”
“Ronnie, now!”
Deputy Veronica Sanchez’s eyes were the size of saucers. This could not be happening. In front of her was the Brickson Gas Station, about five miles out of New Pleasance, and the last gas until you hit the interstate in thirty miles. A dusty blue semi was screeching out of the forecourt, and barrelling along the narrow single lane highway towards her. A vehicle like that is powerful, but it takes some time to get up to speed, especially when it’s pulling a full cistern behind it. It was hauling ass for its life and its engines were screaming. It was fleeing from a woman. This is what Ronnie was having trouble with. It was fleeing from Mary-Lynne Carhill. This would be strange behaviour but it looked like Mary-Lynne might be over five hundred feet tall. She was on her skinny knees straddling the highway with ease. She had a one of the patrol cars slipped into the front of her cut off jeans shorts. Somehow Ronnie could see the sirens still going even as it rubbed up against Mary-Lynne’s bristly bush. Mary-lynne’s beer was sitting by the side of the road where she’d set it, towering over the telegraph poles. Looking further up and Mary-Lynne was reaching for the semi and there was no way it was going to escape. She had too much reach and it wasn’t accelerating fast enough. She was teasing it.
“Oh look at this big truck, tryin to get away from little ol me. Don’t worry, you look about the right size to be useful for summint.” Something like that.
Then Mary-Lynne’s eyes flicked up and Ronnie felt caught directly under the gigantic woman’s gaze. That smile chilled Ronnie’s heart. She’d seen them, of course she had, they had the lights and sirens on and a stream of patrol cars. Mary-Lynne shifted her attention and began to rise. Ronnie snapped back to the real world, diving into the car and slamming the door shut just as Clara put her foot on the gas and whipped the car off the road as the semi thundered past, inches from where Ronnie had been standing slack-jawed.
“God dammit Ronnie!” screamed Clara as she spun the patrol car around and took off after the semi. Within moments there was a sickening crunch and the screeching whirr of tires spinning. The windows went dark as the patrol car rose into the air.

I decided to go wild with the render time and there are 4k versions of these alternative angles for Mega Boss tier subscribers as a special thank you for the extra support. Catch you all in the new year!
Plenty of alt angles, close ups and POVs for you. As you can see, the city model doesn't look great close up but it works well for the main shot where I use depth of field to blur the foreground, and things look ok when they're far enough away. It doesn't work as well in many of these but in a few of them where the buildings and details are lost a bit the haze of the background it looks fantastic.
This was almost the finished piece and then I noticed that she has no lipstick to go with her makeup. Because of this I decided to go back and change it (which means going back to daz, changing things, and re-exporting the file to Blender. Once in Blender I need to re-do all the set up things like making her hair work (if you know you already know, if you don't it's a faff). The hair turned out thicker because I didn't adjust the settings the same way, but I actually prefer it, and I changed her pose so that she's reaching her hand out to give a bit more dynamism.
So there you go, a WIP that would probably have been perfectly fine as the finished work, and a little bit of an insight into the process (and that I always feel the need to make these kind of changes!)
Here we’ve got some flyby shots of Marta, including one from inside the chopper! I’ve got these marked as sketches because there isn’t really any background at all as the main image doesn’t call for it. Having said that, in the main image her head isn’t visible at all, so you couldn’t see the enjoyment in her face. Now you can! I still don't love her hair up close but I can't find a good replacement so sticking with it for now.
