Progress Report, 16/06 - 23

Hello everyone and welcome to another in the line of progress reports!

It's been a rough, and exceedingly warm, week, but I've none the less managed to get some work sorted. Model ripping from ME: Legendary has begun in earnest after a lot of troubleshooting, and I've shipped off assets to a friend of mine who will be helping with setting up models for use. As you can probably tell from the header image, Matriarch Benezia is up first, but if you've missed some particular characters from the ME games and think they haven't gotten the attention they deserve, feel free to mention it in the comments or in direct messages and I'll be sure to consider them for ripping as well. Everything is a matter of time and money, at the end of the day, so I won't be ripping every single minor character - but I would like to give some love to some very much deserving souls, where it's all dependent on how much time and effort it'll take to sort any given model out.

Benezia, as you might imagine, will be designed in accordance to what a Matron and subsequent Matriarch status demands.

I'm saying she'll have the curves to match, that is.

Once a manner of workflow has been established for this, I'll continue looking into porting Warcraft models as well, but this has been such a long time coming that I want to prioritize it. ME is a staple in my content, and I hope that it will remain thusly for the future, so it's important to prepare accordingly - besides, the more independent I can get in terms of model featuring in general, the better.

A partner is also currently being selected by the discord crew, what with Gwen Stacy having won the Scenario poll for this month, so we'll see who she ends up with. I'll keep you all posted on the progress as it goes, with posing starting tomorrow Saturday for the piece. Larger projects are also in the works, though have taken a small backseat lately owing to the sudden influx of new models that I've had to prep for use. No rest for the wicked, as they say :)

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for all of your kind words. The heat is genuinely a pain at this juncture, so I hope you're staying safe out there - forest fires are becoming a real pain too.

Buckle up, care about yourself and your fellow man, and we'll get through this together.
