Raven555

I now have much better eyes! (I've also been setting up the rig.)

A bit of a random post, but I am excited. Anther fur, who go's by Zack3D, went out of his way to help me out, he knows how to set up proper eyes in 3d. 

And thinks to him, I was able to make my own set of proper eyes! I'm not sure if you can tell the difference, but they work from more...

Ok, so I wish to make a Christmas themed animation!

Even though It may come out after Christmas..... So! To make things move faster, I'll make this animation a short few second loop. 

And if you guys really like it, when I show you, I'll make an extended version with a finishing scene.

I also want it to include my new raven boi, a...

Moving onto the rigging!

Ok, I am happy with the fur for now, I have started work on his eyes, and while simple, they look quite good. 

But I'll play around with giving them a proper texture, see if I looks better.

But now, I can get to rigging this guy for animation.

I'm really happy wi...

Retopo's done, now playing with textures and fur!

So I few things, the texture is not as dark as I would like, I'll have to go back and fix that, but the fur is coming along ok.

The white feathers on his head are something I'm playing with,old gryphon feathers I made, they came out really well.

I'll have to redo the texture on the fe...

Retopo is 99% done!

So close to making UV Seams, and textures!

Than I can add the fur and feathers!

I know this may not seam like a lot of progress, but retopology can be a really slow and tedious process. 

I have also had issues with vertices I don't want to merge, welding themselves together...

I 've started the low poly build!

This is the stage that comes after the sculpting stage is done, now I just have to finish building this mesh over the high poly mesh I sculpted earlier.

I went and added the tail feathers, and also added some hair along the back, but I'll need a little more time, before he is really somethi...

The vote is in, the kenku has no balls! (also Progress on hair!)

So I am finally starting to wrap up the sculpting stage of the kenku, just want to play with his junk, and maybe his butt.

Then I can bring this model into blender, and start getting him ready for animation!

I have also been working on his hair and feathers!

I cant wait to combi...

Should my kenku have balls? (Closed! No Balls!)

Ok, So I am working on the feathers for my bird man right now, but I am also about to get his junk ready.

He is going to have junk similar to my gryphon.

(Birds don't have balls, but people do! Uhh I think.)

Anyway, I wanna ask. Should my bird man have a big set of balls hanging...

Birb Man!

Ok, so have decided to work on the weekend, and get more done with this guy. 

I still want to work on the arms and back, maybe the head, then some general polish. But I'm almost done with the sculpting stage, then its retopo, and feathers!

I have also redone the feet and arm scal...

Making progress!

Ok, so I have done a lot of work on this guys feet, and I've also been working on the shape of his head.

I just have to keep sculpting until I'm happy with the body shape, and the head and limbs. 

After that, I'll make him a cock, and some different types of feathers!

<...

Kenku Update

I guess I'm calling this dude a kenku now, or birb man.

Anyway, I've been doing lots of work on his hands, I've had to do a bit of jumping between programs to get what I wanted.

Though I still need to do some work, to help make the scales look more integrated.

I've also started ...

He does not look like much, Yet. (Early stages)

I hate showing stuff like this, but here you go, this is the hideous early stage of making a new character! (Gaze upon the horror!)

It does not look like much yet, but give it time.

I've gone and modelled a ravens skull, its not a great looking model, but that's because its...

Animation is up!

You can see it here!

And this link, is ...

Networking and Render shenanigans

Ok, so there are 200 frames in the middle of the animation that I have to re-render, I also have to load up an old version of the project to do so.

That took some figuring out, but it least the problem is being fixed. I'm sorry this animation is taking so long.

But there is good news,...

Character Vote is in!

And it is going to be a sexy raven boi!

Turns out what I am making is more or less a kenku, but human height. I've been spending the day getting all sorts of pics of ravens and furry birb people too.

Got a few pics of ravens feet, that would be hard to explain, but I am looking forwar...

The new hard drive has arrived! (And it is installed!)

My fast rendering PC is back up and running baby!

I have about 300 frames left to render in total now, I have managed to render a chunk of the animation on my slower computer, so it should not be too much longer now.

A new character? (Vote!)

So, this month will mostly be spent creating or learning things!

(This month plans on keeping me busy, so I think it is a good time to make something)

My main focus is facial animations, my characters really need to start showing pleasure and pain on those faces!

But, I am also ...

Quick Update (My new computer is also sick, but not to worry.)

My new PC is unable to render!

(Don't worry, my old one is rendering away, and the new already has parts on the way!)

It is the hard drive, its still working, but it is OLD, I kept it and used it to save money, because I had none to spare at the time. But it had been sitting for years...

Ending is about 90% done!

Getting close to render time!

Also important, the odd render issues I was having a few days ago have stopped.

So It all looks like smooth sailing from here.

Coming down with a cold, but I'm still working.

I don't plan on staying in bed all day, but we will see what happens. 

Unfortunately, at this rate, I may not quite manage to get this animation out before the month ends, as promised. But at least it will not be for lack of effort.

Also, I may not end up NOT charging you guys fo...

Furry R & D!

So I might not get a lot of time to work on furry smut this weekend.

If that turns out to be the case, I'll probably spend the time learning how to make a forest.

(I have a tutorial series that I am already half way though.)

But this did get me thinking, I do need to keep learni...

Making some changes with the ending!

(I got stuck outside most of today, but I did make a little extra cash! So I may be able to get something useful for my smut making!)

The animations ending is going to be a little longer now, and I think the pose the characters end up in looks good, I think you will all approve when Its rea...

I was not able to do much over the weekend, but I was able to render!

Now I'm all free again, I don't think it will take much longer, until the animation is ready. I just have to get the ending done.

And then render it.

I would have liked to get the ending ready over the weekend, but sometimes life gets in the way.

Anyway, I'll will have it ready ...

Not much to report, still working away, should have the second loop ready tomorrow.

Still tweaking the second loop, once I am happy with it, I can start rendering that on my new computer, and start working on the ending.

I have also set up a second camera, with a view I like.

Once I am done, I can get both PC's to work on rendering this. So I think I will be able to ...

So I am making better Time then I expected!

So it is kinda easy to forget the world when I am just working away on an animation! 

This render is from the second loop in my animation, and you will be able to see things that still need work. 

(I have not animated the gryphons tail yet!)

But it will all work in goo...

Just a little heads up.

I made the "early supporters" patreon tier hidden. So new patreons cant use it. This should not affect you guys in any way.

But if some shit does go down, let me know.

Thanks as always!

Here is a little sneak preview!

Link to my google drive. (I know, I cant wait for a working website ether!)

So where I'm at right now!

I'm finally rendering the first parts of this animation! I'll post a WIP for you guys later! 

(I'll give it at least 24 Hours.)

The rendering process is starting a tad late, due to frame rate issues, I had been making a 24 FPS animation until now! (Woops) 

But I have f...

So, I've been making forest assets!

This is what I have been up too, when I can't be making furry art, due to the risk of getting caught! 

(EDIT! I mean getting caught by my family or friends, not by the law, pretty sure making smuts legal here.)

So I have been making strides in the background department...

So, I promised a poll on "cumflation"

I floated the idea of having our poor gryphon get a little bloated at the end of the animation, due to the dragon not pulling out, like a jerk.

You can decide whether or not the gryphon gets a little bloated when the dragon finishes, there are no wrong answers!
