Holy shit, I've barely posted anything this month and we're back above 300 patrons!
🕑 Added 2020-12-24 02:07:03 +0000 UTCGuys I logged into Patreon today totally expecting to have lost some subs because of how quiet I've been. But I look and I see we're at 308! Thank you guys so much for the support, I'm super grateful.
I wanted to write this post to explain a bit about how busy I've been and why I've been so quiet the last couple of weeks. Yeah I wrote some posts throughout december and shared some content, but I just haven't kept up my obligations towards you guys. Lemme walk you all through it a little bit.
First off, I've been super super super hard at work on the christmas release. I would lie if I said there haven't been bumps in the road, and each time I thought I was on schedule something occurred to throw that schedule way off. Quite frankly the only way I've kept myself from freaking out over it is by not thinking about it and just waking up, getting behind my PC's, and churning out renders.
Secondly, I'm sitting on an absolute stockpile of rendered content that I haven't even shared with you guys. A lot of it will be part of the upcoming A3D release but more will be shared towards new years.
Thirdly, as a result of the animation rendering and additional corrective work, I haven't at all been able to keep up my obligations on the Jordan/Tatiana set I promised early November. Quite frankly I massively overestimated the free time I would have and made a mistake. That said, after christmas I will have time and I'm going to be keeping my word throughout January.
Fourth, I had wanted to do a post in the Lust tier explaining the details of the upcoming release, but a lot of them changed basically the day before I was planning to write that post. I had just put up the Craving tier update, and right after that some developments occurred. So that kind of threw my plans off balance and for like a whole week I wasn't even sure whether I knew what final shape things were going to take. So I decided to not post anything over raising false expectations.
Fifth, in order to speed up render efficiency I had planned to turn my gaming rig into another render rig that I would simply also play games on. To that end, I ordered a second 3090. And what do you know? Just like my dual 2080ti's a year and a half or so ago, of the two 3090's I now own the second one is broken. It keeps crashing my mobo. So I moved my 2080ti back in.
Honestly this is a luxury problem and I'll just return the card to get a new one eventually, since the 2080ti is plenty powerful regardless. But it did create another thing I had to worry about and inbetween rendering I also had to have both my PC's on the surgery table to keep swapping and testing. Something that robbed a good couple of hours from me that I could've used elsewhere.
So yeah! Eventful two weeks, I can tell you. Even now I'm crunching like a maniac to get things done. If nothing else I hope you guys will enjoy the final product. I will definitely have more to say about it tomorrow (which actually IS tomorrow, this time around) in the Lust tier. Since I still owe you guys that post.
For now, some of the included shots above are ones you'll be seeing alongside the animations as still renders in the final release :)
PS: This will be the last set rendered in the Special Lady scene. I've been milking that for a year and it's about time to move on haha. Definitely after these last three months.

TAKE YOUR TIME. Especially when fumbling around hardware issues. I have broken my share of "toys" because I wanted a quick fix. We have and will bee seeing the quality you create. Better take your time and give us the perfect first animation scene than rush things and leave us stranded right in the middle of what we are doing when watching your content. Other artists do that -> blue balls. Other than that - I get the urge - you bought a Ferrari and commendationed it to tow a trailor. I would have gotten another another one for joyrides too - PCs are ment for gaming.

That conclusion is part of the back log yeah. There is a lot I will be posting throughout January!

I’m hoping somewhere in that backlog of renders you have the conclusion or part 4 of your latest fetish series with Kayla and Taylor. Sucks that these graphics cards don’t seem to be reliable for you- the increase in render times is impressive. Looking forward to another year of excellence from you Dude
