Progress Report

Time for a quick update on what I’ve been working on lately:

1. The New Outfit

I’ve managed to model most of the parts for one of Izumi’s three planned new outfits. I’ll keep the other two a secret for now, but this one is a sort of clubbing outfit, featuring a pencil skirt, a turtleneck shirt, and leather boots. I’ve paused work on it for the time being because I ran out of ideas on what else to add. Some suggestions I’ve seen include simple accessories like bracelets, while others mention adding a jacket. I’m still unsure myself, so I’ll wait until inspiration strikes before finishing it.

I’m especially eager to start rigging the skirt. It’s a new challenge for me, and I’m excited to see how close I can get it to behave like the real thing.

2. The New Exotic Dance

I started working on a new dance around the 20th of last month and have already blocked out the entire routine using the proper animation technique, pose-to-pose animation. That means I keyed in the “golden poses” to establish the structure of the dance. Right now, it looks more like a slideshow than an animation, but that’s expected at this stage. The benefit is that it’s much easier to spot and fix problems early on.

It reminds me a bit of sculpting, starting with rough shapes and gradually refining the details.

You’ll find a sample of the animation in the 1080p/Tests/ folder. I’ll continue uploading new versions as I complete each animation pass. Hope you find it interesting.

3. Voice Acting

Speaking of the 1080p/Tests/ folder…

Several animations including butt job, bottoms up, FFM Threesome, mating press, and full nelson now have voice acting. Over the past few months, I’ve been working with a new voice actress for Izumi, and I think she’s a great fit. She’s bilingual which will come in handy, has excellent range, and really brings Izumi to life. You can listen to a short sample of her voice in the 1080p/Tests/ folder.

The full voice files won’t be uploaded just yet, since they’ll be used in the next episode of my series. I’m still debating whether to release the raw audio files like I’ve done before. This time, it was a bit costly, so I haven’t decided. I’ll let you know once I’ve made up my mind.

That’s it for now. I’m still working through one of my animation courses and continuing progress on the dance at the same time. In the meantime, feel free to let me know what you think of Izumi’s new voice. And yes, the most recent foot job animation will get voice acting too, in case you were wondering.

Also, let me know if you think the new outfit needs something extra or if it looks good as is. Sometimes, less is more.
