Ashe Cowgirl Position Preview #5

Out of all the available partners to choose from, I've finished Cassidy, Reaper, Doomfist, Dva, Mei, Sombra, and Widowmaker. I'm also planning to add Sojourn, Brigitte, and Echo next. If I'm feeling up to it I'll add even more characters, but it's looking like there will be at least 10 characters to choose from on release.

Making all of the character assets has been a fun exercise in maki...

Ashe Cowgirl Position Preview #4

Unlike in Whitemane's Inquisition, you'll be able to choose each part of Ashe's outfit for her to wear. Currently, the plan is for her hat, shirt/vest, gloves, bracelet, panties, chaps, and boots to be individually toggleable. Since it's part of her visual identity, I haven't yet decided if I want her arm tattoo to be toggleable or not. I am, however, considering adding additional tatt...

Ashe Cowgirl Position Preview #3

I don't know how long it'll take to resolve her outfit, so I'm going ahead and posting this preview just with Ashe's nude body to get your feedback beforehand. To be clear, the animation you're seeing here doesn't yet have any of the physics code that I use for secondary actions; her butt, breasts, hair, arm, head, and face will have additional animation in the final version of the sce...

Ashe Cowgirl Position Preview #2

I am feeling much more confident in this new iteration of the cowgirl position for Ashe. I've been animating the primary action, which is the main movement of the scene without any of the smaller motions that go along with it. I have already started animating her butt jiggle, but there's still some refining I want to do with it so I've excluded it from this preview. There's still a lot...

Ashe Cowgirl Position Preview #1 (REDUX: Art Block Edition!)

So... even back when I posted the first preview for the cowgirl scene, I couldn't say I was totally satisfied with the pose at the time. I figured it was just because it was in its early stages and I'd come around to it after applying some animation and refined the art. So I spent some time tweaking the art and applying some animation... and I still wasn't feeling like the scene was coming toge...

Ashe Cowgirl Position Preview #1

Apologies for the relative silence recently! Unfortunately, starting a game from scratch requires a lot of upfront work that doesn't lend itself well to previews. For example, I needed to collect and edit a library of voice lines and other audio to use. Additionally, I did a good bit of experimentation on optimizing the art so that I can use sprite sheets for the game, which should drastically ...

Sunspot Mascot Concept #1

While I was in the process of making sketches for my Ashe game, I decided to go ahead and attempt a to make a full concept art for the mascot character that I have previously mentioned wanting to make. 

I mainly intended to make a mascot to use as a fun stand-in for myself and to be a representative of the content I make. An extremely rough idea of the character has existed in my min...

April Fool's: Whitemane's Wieners

April Fool's can be fun, but I don't like the assumption that I need to lie to have fun. Instead, have Whitemane chowing down on some hot dogs. No lies here, just a hungry Inquisitor.

I actually made this long ago, before Whitemane 3.0 was released, just to entertain myself. I didn't think about sharing it until I started wondering if I should post something for April Fool's. Unfortunatel...

Looking for Feedback: Potential Tier Changes

UPDATE: Okay, there seems to be a pretty clear consensus as to which option is preferred, so I will try Option B! However, I think I'm going to wait until the start of May to change the tiers rather than the start of April. This is primarily because, if I'm going to launch a beta testing perk, I want to launch it with something that's already available to be tested, and I'd lik...

Untitled New Game: Early Design Plans

Since it might take a month or so for my next game to take some sort of playable shape, I wanted to go ahead and detail the goals that I'm keeping in mind while starting out. To better organize the information in this post, I'm going to write it in the style of a Q&A. Bear in mind that everything written here is just my initial plan and subject to change. I tend to be very improvisational w...

Commission: Luci Loop

The download link for the full animation is below, or you can check it out on Twitter or Newgrounds.

My first commissioned loop is completed! Thanks to 2022-03-17 21:12:54 +0000 UTC View Post

Commissioned Loop WIP Preview #5 (+ Background Art Process)

I'm gonna be totally honest, this project might've been done by now if I haven't let most of my spare time get eaten up by Elden Ring. Still, it is close to completion and I have made some progress on the final steps. 

The only thing I want to note about the background that I'm showing here is that I do plan on changing the lighting on the character to more accurately match ...

Commissioned Loop WIP Preview #4

I'm in the final stretch for this project! 

To recap the work I have left:

• Animate the facial expressions (waiting on voice files)
• Animate the cum in the climax sequence
• Design a background
• Composite the animation/background/sound together

After I've wrapped up this project, I'll dive straight into development on my next game. It mig...

Commissioned Loop WIP Preview #3

I've mostly finished the character art for my upcoming loop. As you've seen in my previous preview, most of the animation is already done, so the remaining work largely involves doing secondary animation (hair, breasts, and balls), facial animation, and background art.

I can feel myself getting better at assembling animatable character art, which is something I was hoping that these loops...

Commissioned Loop WIP Preview #2

I'm still making progress on my first commissioned character loop! At some point earlier in the month I made the decision to increase the scope of the project slightly by adding a climax sequence to the loop, but so far progress has been steady.

What you're seeing in the GIF above is the primary animation, which encompasses all of the deliberate character motion, including the motion for ...

Commissioned Loop WIP Preview #1

I don't have anything finished to show today, just some early WIPs to let everyone know that I'm alive and working on something new. If you recall from December, I shared two sketches for small projects I was working on. One became my Christmas image, the other was for a commissioned loop. 

I wasn't totally satisfied with the pose for the commissioned loop, and made several extra, ro...

Mei-ry Christmas

I originally said this was going to be a loop, but the past two weeks have been far busier than I anticipated, and I didn't want a project that I was doing for fun to turn into something stressful. I decided I'd be happier finishing it as a polished image rather than a rushed animation. So sorry if anyone was anticipating an animation.

Alongside the regular image is a wallpaper-sized vari...

Sketches for Upcoming Loops

As I mentioned in my previous post, I plan on releasing a handful of animated loops before starting my next game. The first two I'm working on are a Holiday loop and a commissioned loop. I honestly don't need a very detailed sketch to start making the vectorized art that I use in my animations, but I tried to resolve these a bit more than usual in order to share them. 

For the Christ...

What's next!

I want to thank everyone for your wonderful responses to Whitemane's Inquisition 3.0. I know it took longer than anticipated, but it means it lot to me to know that you think the final result is worth it.

For December and likely January, I want to focus on smaller projects such as animated loops and standalone drawings. Most of these are likely going to be commissioned animations...

Whitemane's Inquisition 3.0 Release

Newgrounds 

Thanks again for supporting me these past few months of development! I know this update in particular took some twists and turns that expanded it beyond what I had originally planned, but I'm happy with how it turned out and learned a lot that can be applied to future ga...

SOON!

Whitemane's Inquisition 3.0 is nearly ready for release! I have the game finished, compiled, and tested, and everything seems to be working as intended! Now, assuming no complications arise, I'm preparing to release it within the next few days.

Whitemane's Inquisition 3.0 Customization Preview #1

I'll admit, doing customization options took a little bit longer than I anticipated. The problem is that as more scenes and options are added, the more considerations will need to be made to get options to work with each other or for each scene and the workload compounds itself. Fortunately, I have a decent amount of new options available.

New options include the previously-shown x-ray an...
