Weekend update #1: Recent new works and updated models, plus general updates and teaching myself Blender/3D modeling
🕑 Added 2025-03-01 09:12:09 +0000 UTCIt's only been a couple of days since the last bulk update. Still, I've done enough to justify another update post. I spent a good chunk of the 26th and 27th getting "back on my feet" by resetting up the new PC. Fortunately, as I mentioned previously, the processor is dramatically better, and my PC doesn't chug nearly as much. While upgrading my GPU soon is the last upgrade goal, I'll be waiting for general availability for the 5090 to improve before making any upgrades. Plus, you know, they are expensive. But for now, the 2070 SC is enough to keep the current pace; I'm interested in stuff like Hunyuan Video (I.e., generative videos) and other higher-level, very promising productions moving forward that are dependent on a newer, more expensive GPU.
Moving on, a few Patreon members have requested Sango and Moroha from Inuyasha and its sequel series, Yashahime. I will work on and aim to complete that set this weekend. I also aim to start work on the Imaizumin Chi wa Douyara Gal no Tamariba ni Natteru Rashii girls' image set request and the Makoto Niijima and Ann Takamaki image sets.
As a quick aside, mostly because I've wanted to learn it for a while, I just started watching and following along with a Blender beginner's tutorial guide. I plan to spend about an hour or so every day or two just slowly familiarizing myself with the software in the hopes of being able to eventually produce some bonus (lewd) 3D renders as a fun little extra in the near future. Of course, producing models and images of anime-accurate (2D anime) girls will remain the priority; this is more of the equivalent of an RPG side quest. Animations are definitely a possibility and something I'd love to delve into eventually once I have more free time in May when I graduate college, but for now, I'm just doing this out of hobby with the hopes that one day, this added skill set could also be put to use on this Patreon and beyond.
Lastly, I'll be prepping the February folder for the all-in-one Mega archive after this post. I should have that organized and sent to the $5 and up tiers in the next few hours.
New Models:
Suzu Taniguchi (Arifureta) - Commission!
I took a bit of time on this one because I was waiting for season 3 to end. I think it was worth it, though, as it can not only output extremely anime-accurate images but can also do her Haltina Labyrinth doppelganger appearance! I'll also be working on a Yue model for a commission for another Patreon member soon.
Michiko Malandro (Michiko & Hatchin)
I did this as a favor for one of my best (real-life) friends.
Updated models:
A 4-in-1 model of the individually commissioned Amaru, Hanare, Isaribi, Koyuki models (Naruto)
Kanna Andou (The Dangers in My Heart)
Arnheid (Vinland Saga)
High School DxD official illustration style
Once again, this style model helps make your images look more like the official illustrations and eye-catching screens from the first three seasons (season 4's art style was left out due to being dramatically different).
In Progress/on deck image sets for Patreon members:
Sango and Moroha (Yashahime)
Reina Hamazaki (Imaizumin Chi wa Douyara Gal no Tamariba ni Natteru Rashii) + others
Makoto Niijima and Ann Takamaki (Persona 5)
Commissioned Character models to create:
Lo Po Bia Zahard (Tower of God)
I started and actually trained a model, but I need to revisit it because my data did not output a model that I felt resembled the art style of part 3 of the manhwa well enough. I was advised she starts to appear frequently starting from chapter 128 of season 3.
Noire (Ulysses: Jeanne d'Arc and the Alchemist Knight)
Yue (Arifureta)
Soyo Tokugawa (Gintama)
Natsuhi (Naruto)
Urd (Oh My Goddess!)
Hestia (Danmachi)
Yoruichi (Bleach)
Ideally, I'll do her part 3 design and then do a 2nd version when the fourth and final part is done.
Petra Rall (Attack on Titan)
Yukari Sugisawa (Chiisana Tsubomi no Sono Oku ni...)
Tomoko Saeki (Dna2)
Character models I'd like to create for fun when I can find the time:
Candice Catnipp (Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War)
Naruko (Naruto’s sexy jutsu form)
