So...I didn't update with a timeline on Monday, huh? There's a reason for that! Sort of. Mostly, that I didn't have a timeline on Monday. I effectively got nothing done on the weekend. Sunday was my birthday and all the peoples insisting that they call and talk to me or visit or whatever, which scraped much of that day. I underestimated how much of that was going to happen, badly, and ended up bar...

Alright, sorry for being silent for a few days. I actually did finish the one piece of art I'd forgotten about, though it took a day longer than I'd hoped. It, however, was one of the few I'd intended to reserve for the release, so I didn't post it when I finished. Which leaves me not having given any updates for 4 days or so.
On that note, I spent yesterday and today doing final adjustmen...

So....good news is that this piece is finished about when I thought it would be. It's not quite as good as I'd like, mostly 'cause it's actually really hard to find a decent reference picture for kissing for some reason, resulting in this one being done largely referenceless. Overall, not displeased with it considering that, though.
Bad news...I'm a dumbass and thought I'd alre...

Obviously, this one isn't quite done yet. While I was originally hoping to finish it in this session, I just didn't quite get to the shading and adjustments steps. However, the reason for this is actually a good thing. I've managed, finally (and entirely because I received it as an early birthday present from a family member), to lay hands on a slightly better drawing tablet. It's not a huge leap ...

This...is actually the first piece of art I've made that I'm legitimately proud of :-). It's one of the reward/punishments for Serena in the coming update, and one of the last remaining images. I have two more that need to be made, plus at least one more that I'd like to include if possible. (That one being a location. If push comes to shove, I'll leave the locations as placehold...

So...probably should have mentioned this on Sunday, but I did decide to add a third scene to the update. The last scene is a 10 render random encounter where Faith can win the key to a girl's chastity belt for a few hours.... Honestly, I hated the idea of only using that new asset once, so I threw it into a random encounter too :-).
Anyway, that brings the total size ...

The second new challenge for Naomi is done, involving you taking her to a public strip club and making her dance. The scene totals 10 renders, bringing us up to 23 so far for this update. Technically, that's in the range for the extended update reward, but I was planning on shooting for 25-30 this time. I'm unsure what that means, just yet.
Given how close it is to the end of the month, no...

It ended up taking a couple of days and a few renders longer than I'd intended, but the first scene of this month's update is complete! There's finally a decent(if somewhat expensive) chastity belt asset out there for Daz, so sticking poor Naomi into it for some fun is the focus of this 13 render scene...
On that note, I'd originally intended to stick to only 10 renders per scene, shooting for 3...

Okay...soooo...I had said I wasn't going to share this particular piece until the actual update. When I said that, though, I hadn't thought through the fact that, if I didn't, there would be a rather long gap between be sharing images. Thus, I decided to go ahead and at least share the line-art (Particularly 'cause this one looks particularly good as line art, I think).

...I'm gonna be honest here, there are a number of things I really don't like about how this one came out. Unfortunately, with two figures it was so time-intensive that I can't currently justify starting over. I might tweak the color shading down the road, when I'm less frustrated with it (I've been tweaking the color for the last 30+ minutes -_-), but for now it'll have to do, no matter how much ...

The second pose of Serena's sex scene. This is only the refined lines stage, obviously, and some lines (like those below her eyes, in example) are only there as shading cues. I think I might have to change the side of the MC's fingers that are holding her leg too...maybe.
Anyway, I'll post the colored version of this one within a day or two, but the next one will be one of those I reserve ...

So...this is as finished as it's going to get currently. There are still a couple of minor tweaks, as well as one major change, to make. The minor tweaks are just the rotation of her left eye and the need to put a proper wood grain on the surface she's laying on (I lost the brush I used for it before, need to find a new one). The major issue is the reason I'm stopping for the moment...I tried to d...

Normally, I don't show anything in this stage, since it's before even the most basic cleanup I do on the rough lines. But....I hate myself so much right now. I spent a lot more time than I should have on the hair, and it might just be the best looking hair I've ever made. Which is why I'm showing it off at this step and also why I hate myself...because the hair is actually TOO detailed for Serena'...

I wasn't sure I was going to there for a bit, as this part turned out to be in excess of 7,000 words, like the previous update. And that without actually getting everything into it that I wanted to. We're starting to enter a portion of the novel that is setting up a lot of plot components, so there was a lot I wanted to cram in. Eventually, I acknowle...

2018-10-30 11:03:20 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, I always forget about the stupidly long upload time, so it ended up being Tuesday morning rather than Monday night (Well, that, and to be honest it needed more editing than usual, I was pretty tired when I worked on it on Sunday). But here it is! The October release of Eros Academy, clocking in at a solid 26 renders despite it not being an Eros-Reward month!
Okay, whew, I think I might have bitten off a bit more than I could chew this month. The hardware issues I was dealing with have slowed down my progress, in a month where I was shooting to do more than usual. It's not all bad news though, I promise!
