Progress Report: 19/09 - 25

Hello everyone and welcome to a brief progress report.

Ivy's project has once again seen some progress, where I've reached Scene 5's creampie scene. While it's a relatively animation heavy endeavor, I'm pretty sure I should be able to sort out the rest of Scene 5 in just a few more Thursdays, after which I'll tackle the "outro" section.

The Mass Effect comic also saw progress, with Chapter 3 having had its intro sequence finished, and the first "main" section coming along in posing. For those out of the loop, Samara is the main star of this one, so I'm looking forward to showing you all what kind of shenanigans she gets up to.

Meanwhile, eking out a victory with a singular vote, Liara T'Soni takes home the Scenario animation for this month. Given that the Patreon UI was slightly bugged with some discrepancies between its numbers and the statistics document, I'll be providing the documents from both Subscribestar as well as Patreon in the attachments of this post, so you can double-check if you don't trust me on this matter. Any and all identification of backers is of course scrubbed from the documents, but you can see vote times and can, like I do, sit down and manually tally up the vote count if you so desire. All you need is a program capable of opening .csv files.

I want to reiterate that there is no suspicion of foul-play or cheating in terms of the votes, and that there hasn't been since I banned the last offending party of this. The issue is rather a UI one of Patreon, where I imagine some backer has realized they can click a character multiple times to seemingly inflate the vote count in the interface from some specific device of theirs that the Patreon page isn't accustomed to or the likes. In the statistics document, naturally, you only ever get 1 vote per character, so me consulting that one ensures we have the correct numbers either way - it is just annoying that Patreon cannot get its UI properly in check (and I have contacted them about this before) where some characters can look more popular than they really are, in that respect.

No new characters added to the gallery this week as I need to look some of them over and haven't had the time to do so.

I was hoping to add a small Ivy teaser image but it seems image uploads are broken at the moment on Patreon, so I'll leave that to next week.

Either way, thank you everyone, so very much, for your continued support and for all of your kind words. My cold is still plaguing me so I best get some rest today before the weekend's work kicks off - hope you're doing well out there folks, and take care of yourselves as well as each other!
