Life Update, WIPs, and Random Thoughts

Hey all :)

Sorry for the silence and lack of content the past few weeks. Unfortunately this February has been a very rough month for me, in terms of dealing with unexpected personal issues eating up my free time, combined with being sick. I've just been very, very tired, and sadly that type of exhaustion isn't very conducive to being creative.

I did find some time and energy recently to play around with some pose concepts, pictured here. Right now I'm leaning more towards the wallpaper pose (2nd picture). Depending on the lighting setup and scenery, I may render out both an Ada and Jill version, like I did with the recent Descent into the NEST model-swap wallpapers.

Aside from RE content, I'm also extremely excited for the upcoming release of FF7 Rebirth. It's been a long time since I made any renders with Jessie or Tifa, so I'm toying with the idea of revisiting those models. I've yet to use them in Blender 4.0, so I'm not sure if the recent update from Blender 3.0 broke anything, which sometimes happens with older models when using them in newer versions of Blender. But if the models are compatible with Blender 4.0, I'd enjoy making some renders with them.

In closing, a very warm thank you to those of you who continue to stick by me and show your support; it's greatly appreciated and never taken for granted. Knowing people out there enjoy my content is what inspires me to keep pushing, even when times are rough.
