Progress Report, 28/01 - 22

Hello everyone and welcome to a brief progress report!

The comic has once more been the focus this week, this owing to the sporadic nature of my schedule not affording me longer sit-downs to do animation, but also because I've simply found myself being highly motivated to work on it. To reiterate the situation, the intro (consisting of about 30 pages) is entirely ready for rendering, and what I'm waiting for is for the main comic to be in a state where it runs from start to finish so as to make sure the huge load on the session file (often going into upwards of 18 gigs of memory use, making it a miracle already that it's not crashing) doesn't suddenly mean the main comic hits a point where it's unfeasible or can't be finished.

As of writing, the main comic has 85 pages roughly posed and in the script, with a small intermission in the middle consisting of an additional 10 or so pages, and the main comic has just come up on a point where the more story-heavy bits are done with. I'm expecting another 5-10 pages dedicated solely to gang bang oriented poses, and then a short "outro" section for the main comic which is meant to segue into the Epilogue, the latter which I will work on only after the main comic is finished. All in all, the main comic alone will easily come up over 100 pages long, which is quite a step up over the 60 or so for the first comic's main section.

Once I see that the main comic safely runs from start to finish, the idea is to have a singular Patreon post for the comic, just as the prequel had, where I'll first post the entire intro, and then update the post over time whenever I finish main comic pages. I'll provide an archive for HQ images immediately for the intro, but will hold off with providing that for the main comic until it's finished, or I'll have to delete the old archive and upload a new one each and every time I finish a page - which you might imagine would be a pain in the neck. Once the Epilogue is done, with its ending largely determined by the Patreon Poll we did on the matter, I'll also update the same post with it, and its archive, in its entirety :)

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for all of your kind words. Through thunder and rain, work continues. I have my third vaccination shot coming up next month, where upon I'll inform you of the date in case I need a few days off, but we'll see when the time comes. In the meantime, it's full steam ahead, and I hope you're doing alright, all things considered.

Take care of yourselves, and each other!
