Patreon on pause this month!

Straight to the point, I'm falling way behind on my projects, most importantly my Patreon-funded images. I had intended to finish my current two scenes before the end of April, but as that is all but impossible at this point, I'm simply turning off all charges for this month, and I'll be catching up...

It's not one of the Patreon projects yet, but here's a smaller something I've been working on! I haven't quite decided on camera angle or some of the other composition details, but the scene itself is pretty much done, as you can see.

Oh, and there's a little bonus attached as well! A close-up...

Updating!~

Hello again, all! Many, many apologies for my quietness these past few weeks, life has remained a bit difficult in both motivation and time. With that said, I still hold high hopes for things moving forward!

To start with, I intend to make up for my lack of posts in February with more i...

February projects: update!

Hello everyone! Apologies for falling mostly silent this month, things have been piling up a bit! Well, more than a bit, but that's neither here nor there.

First off, I appreciate the suggestions and previous votes you've all given me! To recap, I'm starting to move away from the "vote on a pr...

January requests!

Hello again, everyone! Welcome to 2016!

It's getting to be that time again, that unofficial bi-monthly Patreon project vote. I think there's been enough funding over the past two months, at least! I'm not entirely sure, with the way Patreon's been fiddling with displayed amounts. E...

Yayu - flirtatious frog-girl

For someone who is all but mute, Yayu still knows how to say a lot... are they still "prey" when they come of their own free will, enticed only by a show of licking skills and an inviting look? Regardless, Yayu enjoys the challenge of capturing others in this way, preying upon the curiosity and even...

Who's room could this be?!

It's taken the entire month to get this far (for various reasons), but we're in the final stretch! This month's scene will definitely be finished before the month is done. I'm showing the scene background here for two reasons: one, it's a fun little teaser of ...

Slow progress, but with Yayu's model all updated and finished, we've progressed to the posing portion of the project (say that three times fast). You'll, uh, just have to ignore some of the visual issues that come with the program here! The preview renderer doesn't quite know how to deal with transp...

Voting results in, December project funded!

Thanks for all of your support once again, everyone! The votes are in... well, actually there was only a single vote this month, I suppose having the voting on the same week as Thanksgiving and Black Friday caused some conflict. But it's still a vote, so it looks like Yayu is the winner this time ar...

Patreon project voting: December!

It's time again already! The total from October and November's pledges is set to reach the $50 mark once again, and as a result we'll be having another project up for your votes to decide on.

Just like last time, I have three Paeratopa image concepts for you to choose from, so all I need from ...

Momoe - burger and guys

"Mmm, aren't you just delicious..."

Momoe enjoys herself a little appetizer to go with her meal! They're just so fun to dip into condiments and lick clean, or even stick right into your food... Momoe of course intends to do both, so long as she can resist the urge to just gobble him right u...

Putting things together now, and it's all nearing completion!

There's still some work to be done, of course. Minor tweaks to poses, props, and camera angles; adjustments to lighting; adding the background, and tweaking that if necessary; and once everything's done and rendered, there's still l...

Getting to the good parts already!

This project will probably move along pretty quickly, though I have been running into some snags in getting minor things (like Momoe's finger posing) done right. These 3D models are quite detailed, but there's still some subtleties they struggle with, realistic h...

Getting started!

The first half of this month has been mostly set aside for a couple of priority commissions, but as we crest that middle portion of the month, I'm getting ready to finish up Momoe's Patreon-funded scene. And where better to start than the scenery itself?

This is the very...

Voting results in, October project funded!

Thank you all for your support (and your votes) during September! There weren't a lot of votes, but despite that it seems to be nearly unanimous favor for the Momoe scene, which I must admit is my personal favorite as well.

Moving forward in this month, my project list includes two commissions...

Patreon project voting! (vote below!)

Hey there, everyone! Apologies for the lack of activity this month, life has been making itself difficult. As we're fast approaching October though, the total pledges so far will be enough to hit that $50 milestone for a Patreon-sponsored project, so this is where all of you come in! (yes, even you!...

Onward into September!

It's a new month, and your pledges have all been processed once more. We're up to a grand total of $44 processed over the past couple months, now! Slightly less after fees, technically; August's $26 came out to $23.26 after processing, while July's $18 came out as $15.92. Still a very much appreciat...

Teena process - foreground renders

Last but not least, our unfortunate (depending on your perspective) prey! Multiple renders were done of this as well, but only one was actually used in this case; some color adjustments were done in Photoshop afterwards.

Also like the previous layer, the combined r...

Teena process - main subject

With the background renders finished, a new 3D scene is started up with the scenery removed. The background render gets put into the "backdrop" slot, which makes sure any of the transparent areas don't get filled in with a color that doesn't match the background. (if I don't do thi...

Teena process - background renders

"Renders" with a plural, because this is actually four separate renders stitched together! Primarily just the one, however; the base render provides, well, the whole base, but there's one behind it that has a few plants (this was a throwaway render, but the plants came out good eno...

Teena process - 3D scene

Ah, the real view behind the curtain!

This is where the majority of my work takes place, in the setup window of DAZ Studio. Everything is already set up for Teena's scene here; background, main subject, and foreground all together (to be later separated into individual layers for render...

"soft landing" render process - background shadows

I haven't had the opportunity to go sorting through my projects and grabbing progress screenshots just yet, but this one was laying around already! You may recognize the scene this is from (it was posted here earlier); what you see here is the process of rendering the background, while the "blank" T...

First milestone reached!

A little late - I was thinking I might write a fancier post here, but that didn't work so well - but thank you all for bringing things along to the first official goal here! And also a big thank you to those who have been with the campaign for a whole month now; your contributions all added up to ab...

Teena - soft landing

Just finished! This scene is one I've been working on for a little while now, and it'll be posted to my galleries elsewhere in just a couple of days. Seeing as it's already finished though, I can't think of any good reasons why you all shouldn't have a look at it right now. :D

I'll writ...

We're still a ways away from the "sponsored pictures" milestone, but I've still got some pictures I'd like to work on in-between commissions this month. I've got three particular scenes in mind so far; feel free to chime in if you'd like to see one in particular finished before the others, or leave ...

Welcome aboard!

Wow, it's only been a day or so, but I just have to say thank you to everyone who's become a patron so far! It's already a far better start than I would have expected, and while it may not seem like much yet, it's a great load off my shoulders to see people willing to support me. I'm going to be pus...

Launched!

"Grand Opening" coming soon! Things are all set to roll, so don't hesitate to jump right in if you'd like!
