Progress Report: 11/07 - 25

Hello everyone and welcome to another brief progress report.

EDI's comic has seen Chapter 2 finalized in terms of its posing, where I'll be looking to render it out and check for errors as soon as possible. Comic panel work will thus begin next Tuesday after the Aftermath wallpaper, where I am very much hoping to have the comic posted on the Thursday or similar.

Ivy's project has similarly seen good progress, where the initial section of Scene 5 has been hashed out and the main thrust (heh) of it all is coming into focus. There's a lot of custom bits to this scene, and a lot of peripheral animations I'll have to sort later, along with some planned fluid dynamics, but it's coming along nicely. Sunk a good full workday into it during Thursday, which is my project work day, so I'm all in all happy with how it's turning out and the progress I'm making on it, given the limited time I can spend on it.

Got a handful of ladies in the works for the gallery as well, where I'm looking to add Elena (Street Fighter) as soon as can be into the gallery, while I'm looking over the likes of Olivia (Monster Hunter) and Recluse (Elden Ring). A few Stellar Blade characters are also queued up for check, but I've had a lot of issues with the performance of certain lineups of models so I am treading carefully so as to not add a character that simply cannot be featured properly for what potential victories on community votes promises. A whole lot of folks have asked for a better EVE (Stellar Blade) model for the gallery and I understand that given her popularity - I'm just waiting for Mustard to officially finalize his version of her, as his is by far the best looking model out there, before committing to the usual sculpting and modification that needs doing for our purposes.

Been suffering some back issues on top of a cold lately, but I'm looking to head to IKEA today to get myself a proper desk chair, hoping it'll alleviate the issue. Age gets us all in the end folks, so make sure you take care of yourselves - we only get one body, at the end of the day.

On that note, thank you as always for your support and kind words, and please take care of yourselves out there, as well as each other!
