Progress Report, 03/04 - 20
🕑 Added 2020-04-03 14:01:45 +0000 UTCHello everyone and welcome to yet another progress report!
The week has moved on at pace, with society being the way it is now and some of us still having to go to work, things are hectic to say the least. Still, I managed to get some work done pertaining to the Lady of the Woods 2 project, primarily in the form of voice acting scouting where I am narrowing down voice ranges that might fit Lulu. So far the foremost candidate I've found is known as Midnight Datura, who does an amazing rendition of Widowmaker's whispery, husky tones. While I'm not planning on giving Lulu a French accent, she seems to have a really great range with no issues speaking very Americanized English. Script writing is still underway, as is early scene posing, the two of them necessarily coming together at the start to see what is feasible due to the inherent limitations of the SFM engine and just straight up model availability.
As you can see above, I've also done some scene and posing work for the 3K twitter follower short project, which is probably fitting considering I'm now closer to 4k than 3k followers over there, but hey, better late than never. It has some basic camera work, though no animation as of yet, nor any projection on how long it'll be, but I have a feeling it'll bloat a bit beyond its original scope, as always, unless I nip it early in the bud. The goal is to create a quick, but intense, 1-2 minute short, but with my seemingly obsessive need for exposition and minute explaining of the silly lore workings of a scene, I imagine it could grow beyond that.
Commission work continues, with a few smaller, private ones delivered recently. Hope to have another done for this Monday if all goes well. Slowly but surely, we shall work our way down the list.
As always, thank you so much for your continued support, and for all of your kind words! Though we live in harsh, arguably unprecedented times, we shall none the less persevere. Hang in there, and hopefully we'll see the light at the end of the tunnel soon :)
Take care of yourselves, and each other!

Don't be stressed out, I share your opinion, a Franconian act doesn't fit Lulu take care of you, stay healthy and cheerful take care of yourself, all healthy and cheerful

Let's hope you'll do somewhere around 3 shots of animations. Of course you decided depending on your workload. Still, really love your stuff.

I think building up to the scene makes it. While I do appreciate a nice banging scene, it makes it all the more better to have a little story element to it. Take the Mass Effect XMas short, if it was just the sex it would have been OK, but Liara thinking she was with Shep only to find out she wasn't, made it for me. Also, I really like what I'm seeing in the image above!
