Status Update - June 2024
Added 2024-06-20 06:08:52 +0000 UTCTL;DR: New tiers, a bit less effort will be put, NSFW variants only for Genshin now, Anim Blend files getting a 'small' nerf, No more Vanilla variants.
----
Hi Everyone!
Hope y'all have been having a great time.
These last months have been, 'quite weird' I would say, not in a bad way tho, the amount of support has been great and stable! And I'm HEAVILY thankfull for you guys.
I say it's been weird due to my consistency being sometimes good, sometimes not as good, it's... quite of a worry for me, I did notice myself being WAY slower due to the amount of content I'm doing in general and spending time on stuff that probably most of you don't seem necessary (like 30+ variants, Blend files, Vanilla variants, etc), putting me in a slow burnout state.
Of course I want to bring more content to the table in a faster way without burning myself out, I need to recover that fun I used to have when I started modding, it's hard to say, but since Genshin is a bad game for me that seems to have no bright future, the passion has been dying lately, if you noticed my attitude being a bit rough(?) lately, well now you know...
With that said, I need to make myself feel better again and this will involve me putting less effort into the work and stop doing things I started to do recently (we'll get to that), I'm Not looking to start making lazy stuff (looking at you BH Navia) so you shouldn't worry too much. I have stuff to deal with outside of modding and I've been looking to learn new things, the less time I spend on modding the better for me.
After thinking for the last days, I decided to make some changes for my Patreon page and the content that I will bring up from this point forward... So what's changing?
- Tiers -
2 New tiers have been added, "3D supporter" and "Spicy Supporter", both $12.
3D tier gives you access to the Blend files, Spicy gives you access to the NSFW variants!
Not only that, the Invested Supporter tier now costs $7... This could give the higher tiers a bit more value(?) but generally all these changes were made for those who only look for specific rewards and save more bucks. The Masters tier will function the same way as usual.
- Character Re-Designs -
I'm now gonna stick closer to the OG design... for most characters.
This will depend on the character I work on, let's be honest, all characters by default have great designs! and most of you are ok seeing them quite unchanged but Thicc.
At the end, this is all based on personal tastes, although you can still expect some wild redesigns here and there just less frequent(?).
- NSFW Variants -
I will now make these exclusive to Genshin only.
Since almost all of you guys are here for Genshin mods, would be better to prioritize them for that game, why not Star Rail and possibly WuWa? This is more of a personal choice... I don't like nude mods and it'll be more of a breeze to simply, make mod with few variants, make previews, done... then prepare Blend files, done... Hope that's understandable enough.
Speaking of...
- WuWa mods? -
("Wuthering Waves" in case you were unaware)
I will work on them, we just gotta give more time to the 3DMigoto devs so they come up with tools that allows you import custom models.
- Vanilla Variants -
An attempt was made... but I have to stop doing them ;n;
I don't disagree with the idea of releasing a version with default proportions of my mods for those who don't like Bottom heavy ones, it's not hard to do, but the time spent from the reshape to the mod exporting and playtesting was longer than I expected.
I'm actually DOWN to hire someone to help me create these variants, I'll see how I can set this up but for now, no more Vanilla variants (If you joined only for these, I am so sorry...)
- Blend Files -
The weights/controls for genitals will not be available
It'll be up to you to rig them with bones or create shape keys at your liking.
It would take me a long time to rig these parts in a good way and I now prefer to skip them. Seriously, all renders I've seen from people do not use these!
... I could also hire someone to help me prepare the Anim blend in general 👀
That's it!
I know this is a lot to read, sorry for that, but I hope this gave you enough info to consider moving forward, feel free to leave your opinions or suggestions regardless to all this...
Thank you.

2024-06-22 14:07:05 +0000 UTCThanks for the comment ❤️ I have not been playing frequently but so far I'm loving it cuz it has the combat I've been coping for genshin since I started playing it lmao.

2024-06-21 15:56:29 +0000 UTCHave you been enjoying WuWa Haze? Really excited that you're going to be modding for that game too since that game has been bangin and is my new jam. The devs seem really cool too so I think the game is going to be on a nice upward trend. Maybe Mihoyo will feel some pressure and improve their game now since they have good competition finally (coping lol). I've honestly hardly played Genshin since it came out (Other than to mostly oggle at your work lmao). Maybe the freshness of it will help with the burn out. Thanks for the update though brother. I was worried you were getting burnt out esp with all the new features you've been doing. I'm glad you've got it all sorted out. As usual I'll be looking forward to your work and I'll be supporting you all the way through :)

2024-06-21 07:01:35 +0000 UTCSay less King, I personally want you to enjoy doing your work as much as we do. HOPE YOU GET YOUR REST AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, IN THE NAME OF HEAVY BOTTOM !!!!! <3

2024-06-21 07:01:26 +0000 UTCthis is why i said to reconsider the collabs, the burnout

2024-06-21 05:32:52 +0000 UTCI really have to said to you Hazeker, i really like your mods, right its a lot of work so i will continue to supporting to your content no matter what changes you have to do, and take a lot of rest my friend, Really Thanks for your work that i know people can appreciate your content!

2024-06-21 01:30:47 +0000 UTCThanks for the comment. I agree with the body types like bigger/smaller boob options not being necessary, when people ask for very specific/nitpicky changes or variants they themselves can use the blends. IK fingers? yeah they were not as good as I thought. But I disagree with stopping Sfw mods, it would be wrong to just assume nobody cares for them and stop doing them... specially when I mentioned that I'm Not into nude mods. Yes, more people support me in the $15 tier and it's easier to just make every girl nude and thicc then call it a day... but that's just lame c:
Hazeker's Alt
2024-06-20 20:13:02 +0000 UTCI understand your reasoning. Still, can't help but grieve since your HSR mods are some of the best if not the best out there. Your Black Swan and Stelle are my absolute favorites. That said, you are not stopping so I can only cheer you on. Thanks for being frank with us. :)
Cykes
2024-06-20 19:23:16 +0000 UTCyeah for real vanilla/not nsfw/ or base body types are kinda useless, i think most of us are here for the thicc, nsfw stuff, so keep doing that for sure, for the rig stuff i think if you cut out the unneccessary variants, like lately i've seen you added a lot of body pieces, small boobs, big boobs, base body, cut that out, i think it's unnecessary, like keep the body if people wanna increase the boobs, they can just scale them, take 2 seconds also if people wanna use base models they can use the ones already available like everywere, ofc they're not at your leve they kinda suck, we're here for you cool and awesome touch on the models, meaning, great textures resolutions, great thicc body and rigs, also i think it's very unnecessary to add IKs on fingers, just keep the rigs as the've always been, i think we do be using the vagina/anus controls so losing them would be kinda annoying, so please don't remove them, im also exited for stellar blade and wathering waves models too, but don't rush or feel pressured, i saw you said that you take a long time to make your models, not at all, you're actually really fast, keep up the great work you're the best!

2024-06-20 17:46:18 +0000 UTCProbably the most wanted would be Kronii on Yelan That's been asked for since Yelan debuted. At first it was a joke because of the similarity of the characters but now that there is mods, im impressed there isnt a mod of it There is Kronii on baizhu but the face is. . . terrifying
Vagoo Art
2024-06-20 17:32:01 +0000 UTCAh I see, I think the best would be streams of my mod work (sfw of course) but Idk if hoyo is gonna tryhard to take em down, I'm not too sure about making videos of my progress but a few tutorials I could try making if that's what you want
Hazeker's Alt
2024-06-20 17:01:33 +0000 UTCThanks for the comment. It's more like you mentioned about Xianyun and Raiden, where their default variants look too close to the OG but just thicc, and when you switch variants you get to their very revealing underwear, either a sexy bikini or just a leotard version of their dress. Like I said before, it depends on the character, not all will follow the same kind and amount of variants, some characters have dresses either with big skirts or long flaps, sometimes with tights or not, others have shorts, etc. Main focus now, once again is to try keep the default variant closer to the OG outfit... I'll keep giving them better high heels, that will not change c:

2024-06-20 16:52:25 +0000 UTCBTS as in behind the scenes. I really want to create mods that are at least as half as good as yours.

2024-06-20 16:18:29 +0000 UTCThanks for the comment ❤️
Hazeker's Alt
2024-06-20 15:42:33 +0000 UTCThanks for the comment ❤️ It would be interesting to put some holo characters with the BH treatment for more attraction, I think I would have to make patrons leave suggestions and then make a poll on who to work on first.
Hazeker's Alt
2024-06-20 15:39:48 +0000 UTCSounds great! Im excited for your new projects!
Neo.
2024-06-20 15:24:56 +0000 UTCGracias por el comentario ❤️ Los modelos aun tendran su weight painting para los pechos y gluteos. Y lo de la "Vegeta", es por eso que decido no usar los huesos, puedo intentar hacer shape keys pero cada usuario puede que los use o decida hacerlos a su forma
Hazeker's Alt
2024-06-20 15:21:08 +0000 UTCTake a break if you need to, you've done a lot of amazing THICC mods! Do whatever works best for you
Jaydimension
2024-06-20 15:10:39 +0000 UTCThanks for the comment ❤️ I'm not sure what you mean about the BTS part, but yeah it's quite rough whenever I put the same amount of effort on every mod, and if it's not that one popular character, they don't get the same level of interest. Most people leave because they see the next Wip of a character they're not interested about and due to the long time taken to make the mods, almost 2 weeks like you said, it's easy to just unpledge and then come back whenever I start working on someone they do care.
Hazeker's Alt
2024-06-20 15:06:52 +0000 UTCYeah I'll be working for both in a 50 50 bias, say if I do 4 mods a month that's at least 2 genshin mods and 2 star rail ones
Hazeker's Alt
2024-06-20 14:50:33 +0000 UTCI've been a supporter for maybe a year now, and your mods are what got me into the game. My personal favs are the sfw but still ultra revealing and heavy proportioned outfits. Some of my favorites were Xianyun and Raiden for the swimsuit variants. If you are going to go more 'vanilla', will it be more like their default outfit but thick, or will it be similar to Navia/Lumine where it's the heart of their og outfit but sexy leotard/bikini/dress?
g0bst0per
2024-06-20 14:33:16 +0000 UTCYour NSFW Star Rail mods are my favorite for the game. Sad to see them go. I'm patient so please take your time and don't burn yourself out.
Iraeden
2024-06-20 13:13:46 +0000 UTCThis may be a bit selfish of me because I know if I was a fan of custom designs, vanilla body types, and NSFW I'd probably be disappointed right now. That being said... I'm not, so all I'm hearing here is that you're going to focus on my favorite part and the reason I'm here in the first place - vanilla or mostly vanilla skins with thicc models. This is a fantastic announcement for me, even if I wish the cause was something more positive and not the result of burnout.
Kekkero
2024-06-20 12:32:59 +0000 UTC100% respect your choice as someone that prefers THICC versions of original looks. Shame the see a vanilla variants go though for your personal designs. You really came clutch for me with the recent Stelle blend having her shirt fully modeled with her og proportions 🙏🙏🙏

2024-06-20 12:00:09 +0000 UTCI've been in that spot with personal projects, hope with new way of doing thing works for you for making the best content you can output
C_18
2024-06-20 09:28:48 +0000 UTCSo if i go master support Will u release the Lumine/Shenhe blend.file ?
Puddingow
2024-06-20 08:14:17 +0000 UTCHonestly, really just excited to see how wuwa mods will turn out. I hope the devs do manage to work out 3dm. Really hope it helps you enjoy modding new content and gl to whatever other work you plan on doing/learning.
Pedro Becerra
2024-06-20 07:35:57 +0000 UTCThanks for the update and keeping us in the loop! I’ll give my two cents and say that I personally don’t use the NSFW variants of your mods or the blend files. I just love the enhanced proportions you give to the Genshin girls while adding a touch of lewdness here and there. If doing less NSFW variants for other games and less work on the blend files helps with your burnout or increases the rate at which mods are released I’m all for it!
Dom Parker
2024-06-20 07:26:57 +0000 UTCOh awesome then! Btw could you check dm's? Was hoping you could share lumine and stelle blends 🥸
Kuiin
2024-06-20 07:25:29 +0000 UTCYes, basically. You previously said that you wanted to focus more on genshin but in this post it sounds like you're less interested in it. I've almost completely stopped playing genshin so I'm biased 😅
Neo.
2024-06-20 07:08:36 +0000 UTCi support you in the idea of getting help to make mods, having one or two assistant its always a good move to improve and not overwork oneself. Imagine this, you get a team, mod making get a boost of 200%, more ppl come to your patreon, more income mean u can either hire another co-worker OR hold a small event. i know this sound like a business talk but its better to be safe with the money so you can be in calm while making mods. I always had this idea-of-event for you (that could atract a ton of ppl) about making Hololive members in genshin with BH. Since Hololive is a mid-to-hot topic in the anime communitty, it could be a great move to atract ppl from other fandoms. Artists from Holo always tend to make Holomembers a lot thicker than they actually are, so seeing those thicc art in an actual game would make them crazy. This could pull off smoothtly if the team idea get to work too!! (Of course im not talking about making all 69 Talents)

2024-06-20 07:06:19 +0000 UTCTake your time pal I'm patience and your work is worth every day of wait to see em!! Still on my Nahida arc of your model! >^<
VitalDatch
2024-06-20 07:02:54 +0000 UTCEl que ya no habrá mas rig y peso(weight) en los genitales también aplica al busto y a los glúteos? O sólo a su bueno... ejem... * y V? No quiero sonar vulgar. Ojalá su busto y glúteos aún lo tengan, me divierto mucho alterando las físicas y hacer que se sacudan. Por otra parte, es comprensible acerca de las partes que no mencionaré. Luego de analizarlos poseían muchos huesos y yo mismo me preguntaba para qué tanto hueso y rig cuando el 95% de los creadores de modelos lo hacen con 3 blendshapes y ya. Gracias por la actualización de tu status y espero los próximos modelos no se vuelvan tan estresantes!
justarandomMMD
2024-06-20 06:57:12 +0000 UTCI've only really stuck around Genshin for your mods tbh and the Star rail mods are pretty great. What would you think about doing a BTS thing about your work? There's like 100+ characters across Genshin, HSR and Wuwa and each character takes like 2 weeks to create a mod for. Whilst there are characters that I personally would like to see get the BH treatment over others, I get that those characters may be unpopular and maybe even you don't want to invest your time into them. It'd be insane of me to expect you to enthusiastically create a mod for a literal who character that I like over a more popular character like acheron/clorinde and there are more personal projects that you would like to work on I'd imagine. Anyways, thanks for the hard work you've done, I look forward to seeing your future projects!
Hipwindow
2024-06-20 06:55:40 +0000 UTCThanks for the comment, clorinde will be next yes, I'll resume the voting poll after she's done

2024-06-20 06:55:12 +0000 UTCAyyyeee man glad you told us bro honestly most creators just ball this stuff up and never tell anyone tho im glad you did plus whatever makes things easy for you go for it bro I am a bit sad about hsr was hoping to see what you would do to firefly lol but hey things happen lol Keep shooting high bro we’re all here to support ur goofy ahh
Rookie
2024-06-20 06:54:31 +0000 UTCThanks a lot, Blend files will have the options for nsfw still!
Hazeker's Alt
2024-06-20 06:50:51 +0000 UTCThanks for the comment ❤️ Soon I'll work on them
Hazeker's Alt
2024-06-20 06:48:06 +0000 UTCThanks for the comment ❤️, I'd be down to work on more different games if I were able to ;v;
Hazeker's Alt
2024-06-20 06:42:12 +0000 UTCThanks for the comment, as for the question, do you mean how frequent am I gonna switch between genshin and hsr mods?
Hazeker's Alt
2024-06-20 06:39:24 +0000 UTCOn a side note, are we expecting clorinde any time soon or are we still on the vote schedule?
Devil Drew
2024-06-20 06:39:01 +0000 UTCI accept your choices. I love the BH vanilla outfits and the heels you do. I only need this much. As long as you are able to make that for the longevity of genshin impact and your sanity, you'll have me as patron.
Devil Drew
2024-06-20 06:38:17 +0000 UTCDamb I was hoping for some nsfw blend files for star rail and wuwa down the line 🥹 I'm still supporting tho and hope your new workflow works out 👍
Kuiin
2024-06-20 06:38:00 +0000 UTCHonestly happy you're coming out with your choice of future plans openly. Alot of creators would rather hide this away leaving us the supporters in the blind or just outright leave and disappointment more. So good on chu for coming forward! And honestly for me nsfw variants were never really a priority just big booba and thicc aspects of the models that's all well for Blend files so that's just me, but again not leaving and continuing to support your great work pal! Can't wait to see more of your stuff! (Also little ask Guinefen or Herta from Starrail 0^0)
VitalDatch
2024-06-20 06:34:04 +0000 UTC一如既往地支持你，为了你那些艺术品般的原神模组😍😍
bla bla
2024-06-20 06:29:02 +0000 UTCPersonally, I thought it was interesting when you branched out a little bit into other games and put your spin onto them. Kinda sucks that you won't do NSFW for them but that's your choice, not mine! Having a thicc version for a different game will always be a joy to see. (Especially since you actually make them thicc with a sense of class and not the extreme.) Keep vibing and keep doing you, love your content either way! ❤️
Echo Tracker
2024-06-20 06:17:38 +0000 UTCI've never really used the nsfw mods anyway lol. What i honestly enjoy the most of your mods is that you keep the original outfit around but just make it sexier with a more voluptuous body and high heels. I'll enjoy your mods with or without a ton of toggle options! Keep doing you! Is there any update on how you want to split new mods for Genshin and HSR?
