🕑 Added 2022-02-25 22:00:12 +0000 UTCHey gang! Just want to take a few to talk about what's ahead in the coming months!
First and foremost, here we have my first attempt at rotoscope animation! I decided to start with rotosope because I feel like it's sort of training wheels to getting into original animations. This is three seconds of a royalty-free video clip from a site called Pexels. It's thirty frames and it took me an entire day, but I think with practice I could get faster. The challenge will be learning to add unique features to the models, I think. I attempted to slim the waist and increase the bust of the model slightly, and as you can see it gets pretty wobbly in those areas. Still, I was excited to see this come together.
So why am I just getting into this now? Well, the visual novel is nearing completion, and Kal and I are both starting to kick around ideas for what comes next. Don't get me wrong, there's still a lot of work to do on the VN. The ending calls for around four times the art assets of any single update released so far, but we're making good progress. Kal has started taking classes to expand his programming abilities for future works, and as for me, I'm thinking that whatever side project comes next will be in the form of animation. I'm picturing some short erotic animations released to everyone, with maybe some dev diaries/process stuff for the higher tiers to replace the loss of early game access and names in the credits. I haven't settled on anything solid yet, if you have any suggestions or if you've heard about what other animation-based creators are offering as rewards, I'm open to ideas.
On the storefront end, we're looking to do a set of Liz magnets in the near future that I'm hoping you guys will like. The store has gone over great so far, but we're still looking for ways to improve it. Thinking we might put together a sort of customer review survey here pretty soon? Never done a survey around here before, be curious to know what your thoughts on that might be.
As for me personally, I'm in high spirits when it comes to my work, and looking forward to what new ventures the future might hold. I'm excited to be finally getting into the Warren and Morgan scene, and I hope you like the direction I've decided to go with it as it progresses. Still living the hobo lifestyle and saving up for a house to live in, trying not to drink too much, and blowing money on video games I rarely have time to play. Speaking of which, the perfect reviews and general fomo overtook me this morning, and I picked up Elden Ring. Looking forward to getting my ass whupped tonight after I finish work for the day.
And that covers it for now! If you have any suggestions or feedback on anything I've mentioned, I'd love to hear it. Your input is very helpful and as always your support here is greatly appreciated!

Nice! That may be worth looking into for our next project for sure.

Thanks so much! :)

Noted! :)

Sure! I thought there already was one, but now that you mention it we may not have done a complete one for the whole thing. I'll be sure to post when its ready!

That's the aim. Going to practice the basics on the weekends for a bit, and then look into hiring models of my own for the more explicit stuff.

I would love to side comics, but something in my schedule would have to change. I barely sleep as it is. XD

I haven't gotten into any 3D modeling stuff exactly, but I'm interested in it.

Hey, can’t go wrong with an ERPG! Erotic Role Playing Game, preferably fantasy. Sure it’s been done before (hora, hora), but with the right soundtrack, it’d be a banger.

I hope the elden ring is fun. Congratulations on stretching your skills with this rotoscoping study. There's a lot to be proud of in that short clip! I hope that you have a good time with things as they go. Your art and writing are super compelling, so keep following your inspiration

Suggestion: MOAR MISS HOLT!!!!! I'll give you a second to pick your jaw up off the floor from the shock of hearing that :) But I'd like to see more of the MILFs of the series; maybe new characters' moms, plus Paige actually having sex, too. Also maybe more pinups of the recurring strip characters.

Animations on point baby! Also I was hoping to get back into your high tier novel story you finished a few months ago. Will it get a PDF compilation soon?

Couldn't care less about Elden Ring. Getting into animation, eh?

I personally would like to see Gumroad exclusive art packs. Maybe some “What If?…” comics?

even just an animated frame of a scene in TRW would be great! Glad to hear so many great things on the horizon. Have tried Blender? I used to use Cinema4D, but it’s expensive.
