Hey fam! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to post a quick update on where things are going in the near future
First off, I kept a little busier than I’d planned to this month, so here is a wip preview for some July drops. I’m not sure I’ll finish this Lilith one up as it’s more about testing the model and mats and I might pivot to something with more action. I want to add anothe...
2023-06-14 22:15:37 +0000 UTC View PostNext month is paused while I consider changing things up a bit here. I'm hoping anyone interested can help me decide on some ideas.
My goal is to add more value to both the Messenger and Blue Phantom tiers. Here's what I'm thinking:
- Messengers will now have access to the 8K archive
- Blue Phantoms will now have access to more frequent WIP posts and a WIP folder that will be ...

My bud Squirrel3D hooked me up with his model and I've been sitting on it for way too long. I really fussed over this piece, the hair and fluids in particular, but I think I finally got it to where I'm ok with it. And I learned a few things
Buuut, my preciousness means that Jessie will be delayed to next month, sorry about that. I hope everyone's had a great May and I want to say thank yo...

This went from a simple pose to much time fucking with sims and materials then fussily re-rendering. Pretty satisfied with how it came out tho, and I got to test out Memz' new model!
Anyway, I felt compelled to make this after falling deep into TotK. It's incredible. Somehow better than BotW, which felt like an impossible task
Still planning on Rey and Jessie this month, but time is...

The Alpha version of Aloy and Beta, Dr. Elisabet Sobeck, PhD!
So Lis got her doctorate at age 20(!) as part of the class of 2040 and I'd like to think she took a small moment to celebrate with someone after graduation
This is my last render with the current model I've been using of Aloy before I attempt to upgrade (I hope) her to a Gen9 or, failing that, a Gen8.1 version. I'll keep ...

3 for 1 commissioned by the incomparable Licorice Lain!
Fam, this one pushed me and I'm very happy with the results even if there's (always) things I want to improve on in the future. Also, my gpu needed some extra coaxing to get this to render in 8K lol
Thanks for being here, everyone! Lots more coming this month

Kinkdotcom Kait is starting to be a motif of mine. I ain't mad lol
So this month is going to be heavier on the back end for renders. I've got a new Apex that should be done by tomorrow, a kinda experimental HZD/HFW render planned, then Rey, Jessie, Lara...we'll see how smoothly things go!
Thanks so much for your support!

Tifa Week sculpting practice!
Bit of a impromptu piece, but I haven't done Tifa in a long time and I missed her. Her bday is listed as May 3 so I feel a little extra justified lol
Blends from last month made it into the folder yesterday (Claire, Ashley, Panam), feel free to check those out, if you want!
So I haven't set too many intentions this month outside of Lara, Aloy and ...

Fun fact, I used to not like Claire lol. We grow, we learn
Got a lot in the works, I'm moving Tifa up in the queue next, maybe a Rey for May 4th or 5th, planning another Apex piece with the addition of Catalyst that should be fun and something with Lara
I've got a medical thing coming up that might put me down for a couple days next week, howeve...

It was nice to work with Ellie again, it's been a long time! And I even had Strauzek's excellent model this time around
Not sure if I'll have time this month, but I'm going to try and finish up a render of Claire and one of Lara. Here goes!
Also, for those interested, I've got a new comms sheet in the works, last one needed updating. To all, thanks for being here!

Your poll winner! Well chosen, fam
The NN version was a pain bc I wanted to see how well I could get shrinkwrap to look and how well I could add some displacement and damn. Still so much to learn
Anyway, the vote between Panam and Ellie was shockingly close so she's up next!

Ride of the Valkyrie commissioned by Licorice Lain! She's become my fav Apex lady lol
I've been on a sculpting kick lately as you'll also see on today's Panam render. I think something finally clicked for me in that respect, but I'll be practicing more on the upcoming Ellie and Claire renders
Thank you all for being here and again to LL for commissioning me!

Ryan Reos' models do some things that I just don't understand, but you can't argue with the results! Adding some sculpt/sim before and after images too, for anyone interested. I’ll post the blend file after I clean it up. Can’t share the model, of course, gotta go to Ryan himself for her
This is going to be a pinup heavy month, I'm in that kinda mood
Next up, I'm joining the Ash...

Any bdsm fans out there? I used Memz' Lux model with her Crystal Rose outfit here. and did some personal preference tweaks along the way. I built the scene too, something I'm trying to get better at! Pretty fun challenge all around :D

My collab with Th3Celtic is all finished! I'm really happy with how it turned out.
I set up the scene and he did lighting and post processing all in eevee! Wizard
Very excited to have this Jessie model at my disposal, you'll be seeing her a lot more often!

I think the 1st pic is my favorite Aloy I've ever done ngl. This concept had some fun new challenges that I had to solve, but I'm pretty happy with the results!
No rest for the wicked, back to sculpting I go!
As always, thank you all for being here, I really do appreciate it very much

It was very nice to work with Kait again and I had too much fun building this scene
This was partially inspired by an old set from the GOAT Sasha Grey :D
On another note, Celtic and I are finalizing the idea for our collab, but we've settled on best girl Jessie Rasberry as our subject. I am hyped af

I was testing a bunch of stuff and it resulted in this render
Nothing all that special, but I figured I'd share since it yielded some things that I'll use going forward!

So I was working on a Shelob render that I was getting fairly excited about, but the file was corrupted due to some fuckery and my own negligence in having a proper redundancy. This was the last WIP I managed to get out before losing her T_T
As for what's coming up that will actually get finished, you can expect a Valk/Bang/Loba, Kait Diaz, Aloy (ofc) and a collab with my friend Th3Celtic...

"He Really Can Fuck" - Commission for Licorice Lain
Did a few new things with this one and am trying to improve this Valky model of mine, slowly but surely. You'll see more of her! I'll upload the blend later this month
Got some Aloy in the works as well as a couple Akalis. There's an Ada coming soon too, promise!

Ok, not really, but she's kicking off the month lol
January was a much needed recharging. I played some vidya, binged some content and made some decent progress on my animation course! No bouncing booba to show here yet, but if you wanna see a janky squirrel lmk. But you do not.

Animation learning is progressing, albeit slowly. There's so much to keep track of, it's bonkers. At least I already know jiggle physics lol

Trying a few new things here to close out 2022! Sims, geo nodes and vdbs, whew
Biggest thing to adjust is lowering render times if I want to animate while still lighting how I do. We'll see how it goes soon enough
