Progress Report, 30/05 - 25

Hello everyone and welcome to another progress report.

Ivy's Scene 4 has had its entire core animation sorted, meaning it runs from beginning to end smooth as butter. Next time I sit down I'll resolve the detail work, and with lip sync already resolved it shouldn't take more than one, if slightly longer, session of work to get it sorted.

EDI comic has been sorted up to page 21 on the main section of it, with a total of 69 to resolve. The Scenario overtime ate up a lot of Tuesday's work time so I didn't get quite as much space to work on it as I'd hoped, but I still managed to push decent progress into it. Heavier scenes with more custom sculpts and cum effects are coming up so I'm not sure how far I'll get next Tuesday, but know that it's being worked on, and it is coming.

Rachel's Scenario has been well received all in all, though the experiment was fundamentally a failure in that I overshot heavily the time allotment I've given Scenarios, meaning the schedule is delayed somewhat where Saturday will see the Wednesday wallpaper and Sunday will see the Aftermath, eating up most the weekend I'd use for study and model work. After that's resolved we'll thankfully be back on schedule, but it's easy for these things to snowball if you're not careful, and being behind on content is never a good spot to be in. To reiterate the goal with introducing Scenarios, it was to turn the 2 weekends spent making 2 different animation loops into spending 2 weekends making 1 slightly longer, more cohesive thing with a creampie ending (dubbing this "Scenarios" after faffing about for a while trying to figure out what they would be), and the amount of hours I spent on Rachel's Scenario amounted to roughly 7 work days instead, showing that what I made is not a feasible model for future Scenarios. This all said I learned a lot from the experiment in question, and am striving to mix up the Scenarios a bit more still compared to before, though I'll be reeling myself in quite a bit given how I don't want to spend the end of every month in what effectively amounts to days of crunch that messes up my schedule.

TL:DR and dates to keep track of:

Ivy Project Scene 4 core sorted. Detail work starts next Thursday.
EDI comic Chapter 2 main section has reached page 21 out of 69.
Rachel's scenario well received, but took too long to make. Future Scenarios will be different.
LPL (Less Popular Ladies) nominations opening for eligible tiers on 31st on Discord.
Scenario nominations opening for the Alley Crew ($10 tier) on the 5th on Discord.

And that's it for this week, folks. Thank you, as always, for your continued support and kind words. Exhaustion is setting in after a long week, so it's time for me to claim a bit of evening rest, Friday relaxation, and then get back to work on Saturday. Hope you all have had a good week, and that the weather's been bearable - I have no idea what mother nature is doing up here anymore, but it's been a weird time.

Take care of yourselves out there, as well as each other!
