Lil late into the month, but can't be helped. I wanted to upload the updates all at once if I could. Will probably be late next month too, although I'm planning an animation to be done by Halloween at least.
Unfortunately, not that I was gonna say it, but my card or my information got spread out there. My actual stuff. So someone decided to spend my money on the playstation network of all things. Don't worry. I didn't lose too much, but it does hurt and I've been having to change all my passwords and info. I still have some left I have to do. They've been trying every day for the past month apparently to get into my email. Good thing I changed my password when I did or it could of been worse.
On a small note I went over deciding if I was gonna let bots take over giving people access to my site. I decided against it for now until I am able to automate it for all sites I'm using for fans to sign up. Currently it would only automate things for patreon. Which is a big help for sure, but doesn't seem fair to the others.
This month and that last I ended up redoing my base model again again...this is the final time I swear. It's pretty much got to be. While I was working on what I'm hoping will be a fun animation that is now for Halloween, I came across the same problems I always do. But I said fuck em and moved on. I wanted to get some animations done. So I did the first model, with some struggling and left it be. It has issues, but tolerable and generally animation ready for what she needs to do. But then I tackled the second model and well...there were probably ways around it, but it just wasn't converting right at all for my use. And I was going to use the model as it was because I was really that intent on just getting it done, but it just wasn't going to work. The rig was odd, and for the effort I'd have to spend attaching the clothes, and learning how to use half of the hidden tools for it, I might as well just do it on my base model. So I have been. I completely deleted all the morphs I had on it, all the drivers, all of the rigging, all of the UVs, vertex groups. Gone. Pretty much completely new minus most of the topography of the model. New titty topography and some edits done to fix some of the more excessive poly areas. I completely redid the UVs, I am not great with UVs, but it's pretty much the same now as the previous ones except I have better control of the textures I had previously fucked up and now the conversion mostly works between models. The rigging is nearly done, I'm almost done with the corresponding vertex groups so the model can move right and I've essentially cut away all the fat my models had that created heavy slow down in scenes. Things run better, there's no crashing, and I can create the specific morphs/shapekeys for what I want to do.
I also had some training with the hair particle system, I'm not good enough with it to do what I'd like, but I know more now and understand it better. I'm hoping this will lead to me eventually being able to make nicer hair that isn't as cartoony or rather I won't be limited to that. The topography and vertex redos also mean that my jiggles that you guys haven't really had a chance to see yet should hopefully perform better.
Now moving on to the more fun updates that don't sound like excuses.You will find a new artist gallery in "Commissioned Works" by the name of "Crimson King". We have two comics currently ongoing but for now "Summer's Dream" is the only one available since the other is missing earlier pages. You will also find that I flat colored the pictures, but uploaded the originals as well. They are very nice and unfortunately I am unable to keep up with that quality in shading. Currently I am trying to get better with it before I proceed in finishing the shading for them.
This also goes along with Moaja's pics. I feel my coloring and moreso my shading is heavily lacking when "finishing" these pics I commissioned so I've put off on working on them until I can figure out how to do it better and consistently. So I may just keep things to flat color for a bit.
There is also a new page of Dictatorship. "Commissioned Works" "Votakwot" . With this page we have not finally caught up to the pacing I kinda messed up on. So now we will continue from Lacrice's fat ass expansion XD. Look forward to it! But probably not next month. In November cuz my commission budget kinda low due to said previous incident and it messed up the budgeting I had. Again no worries. It will fix up just in time.
I got another loop from ZST based on the Spring and Veil Comc. "Commissioned Works" ZST XKN" . It's based on panel 2 of page 4 from Spring and Veil "The Danger Within!?" comic by Shryland.
The comic with Leela and Amy is still currently on hold. Rl things.
I have some more stuff possibly incoming. They will probably be public releases. I am going to try and post more. Like little sfw update things. Maybe that'll also help to show progress is being made. Feel free to let me know your thoughts.
