Epic Loot Poses + Exclusives Previews + Tier Reminder
🕑 Added 2024-10-22 23:07:54 +0000 UTCAlright, beloved members and fans, I have made many breakthroughs since our last meeting and I can't wait to show them to you. Subjects that we will be discussing today include:
-Tier Changes Reminder
-Mod dev updates: New skills unlocked!
-Epic Loot Poses Preview
-Twin Bangle and Risque Heels Exclusive mod Preview
-Vivian for HS2 Preview
-Taeyeon's Gallery
🚨Tier Changes Reminder🚨
A quick reminder before we begin today, that the Fashionista tier will be forming at the end of the month (Oct 31st). Exclusive clothing mods will be moving to that tier. For those who already signed up to the enthusiast tier mid-month to get exclusive clothing, dont fret! The Enthusiast tier will retain access to exclusive clothing mods until Nov 30th. For those interested in both my character cards and exclusive clothing mods, a new sponsor tier will be created. I had delayed formation of the Fashionista tier because.. well there wasn't much content created for it yet. By November 30th, when exclusive clothing becomes truly Fashionista exclusive, I hope that my exclusive offerings will have grown to a quality and number that you will deem worthy of your pledge. To recap:
-The 😏Fashionista Tier😏 ($9) will have access to everything that the Supporter tier offers, plus access to exclusive clothing/accessory mods and have 30 day early access to public clothing/accessory mods.
-The 😘Enthusiast Tier😘 ($9) will have access to everything that the Supporter tier offers, plus access to my HS1 and HS2 character cards and makeup mods. They will also have 30 day early access to public clothing/accessory mods.
-The new 😎Sponsor Tier😎 ($12) will have access to benefits of both the Fashionista and Enthusiast tiers.
-The old Sponsor Tier ($15) will be renamed 🌠Founders🌠 and will have access to benefits of both the Fashionista and Enthusiast tiers, and retain their ability to commission poses. This tier will stay open until the last founder leaves.
Mod Dev Updates
I have been curious cat and a busy bee since our last update! Aside from the two mods that I will be showing you below, I have also figured out an end-to-end pipeline for creating HS2 Eye makeup. Not only that, but I have also figured out how to mod new high heels into the game. Thank you all so much for your continued visitation and patronage. Without all of you, I would definitely not have the willpower to push through some of these hurdles!
New Skill: Makeup!
Next month's character release will mark a bit of a milestone for me, as she will be the first character to feature an in-house makeup mod.
When I embarked on the quest to make custom makeup, I was not prepared for the complexity of the task.. kind of like when I started modding.. or posing.. I guess I have a long-running history of underestimating things in general..
To learn this makeup thing, I watched countless hours of korean makeup tutorials to learn basic fundamentals, I then had to make a 3d representation of the HS2 honey in substance painter and then learn to, well.. paint makeup. I finally found a use for that wacom tablet you guys helped me buy like a year ago! I have two drafts ready to finalize and release with Vivian next month:
One sultry and one sweet. They don't look like much, but each one was a composite of like 30 layers in photoshop! It turns out that complete eye makeup, if it is to be made convincing, is no less time consuming than doing entire clothing mods.. so I will need to take that into consideration and ration my time wisely in the future. As I will likely not be able to produce a great number of these, new makeup mods, when they occasionally do arrive, will be tied to specific character releases (Enthusiast tier).
New Skill: High Heels!
Two other areas that I have made headway into are arm accessories and high heels. The way that both categories work were a bit hard to figure out.. the damned angles kept being off! But I think I have them more or less nailed down now. Much thanks to Lurki, Noble Kale, Belgar17, enimaroah, Bl@ke and others in the mod creation forum for all the help once again!
So far I have just about completed two projects, the twin bangle and Risque Heels, and have begun work on a third one:
T-strap platform heels, and platform heels in general have always been a favorite of mine, but its been a an exceedingly tough project because I suck at blender and the many 3d curves involved are very complicated. Hopefully I will have these ready early next month, and in a form that somewhat resembles the reference there!
Epic Loot Poses Preview
The next upcoming pose pack will be named Epic loot poses. As you may have surmised from looking at the poster up there, it is all about the excitement of finding epic loot. More specifically, it is the reaction to the loot and the appraisal of it that I am focusing on. The pose count is currently at 11, but I have not finalized yet. Though its called EPIC LOOT poses, they will be applicable to other every-day things as well, such as but not limited to:
1. When your Honey finds the missing car keys
2. When your Honey finds the perfect pair of pumps at the store
3. When you propose to your Honey
4. When your Honey is a succubus and takes a mans pants to find a massive dong.
All equally viable scenarios for these surprised and appraising poses.
The 💖Supporter Tier💖 exclusive poses for this month will be an expansion to this theme that focuses on the celebration which follows AFTER the discovery and appraisal of the loot. See you on the 25th for release!
Exclusive mods Preview: Twin Bangle and Risque Heels
I am proud to announce that my first pair of high heels and arm accessory will be coming out soon. The Risque heels are meant to be paired with the Risque Minidress. They share the same kind of bling strip and are equally in danger of slipping off the girl! 
Speaking of bling, you may also be interested in throwing on the Twin bangle, which will add some eye catching shine to you honey's slender wrist. The bangle is luxuriously gold (or whatever other color you choose) and studded with a truckload of princess cut diamonds.
I have a little more work to do on these still, but they should be ready in a few days!
HS2 Vivian Preview
Esteemed enthusiasts, allow me to present Vivian, our girl for November! Vivian will be significant, not just for her unique looks, but also for what makes her looks unique. She will be my first character to feature custom makeup, as well as custom face morphs made in blender.

I have begun to dabble in bespoke face morphs in blender. I am not too good at it yet, but I have created a douyin-inspired lip mod that I am very happy with, and Vivian will be wearing it.
I hope that you like the new makeup that Vivian has put on for you. My drive to learn how to mod makeup into the game arose from the fact that I have used Zeaska's makeup 22 for basically every character up to this point. That is the ONLY makeup in the whole game that I have found which gives a character that distinct Kpop idol vibe. Thank you, master Zeaska, for your incredible work, but from now on I can finally go my own way!
I hope that you will look forward to the release of Vivian on Nov 15th!
Taeyeon's Gallery
To finish off today's update, I have prepared a few renders for you 💖
I usually dont have time for this kind of thing, but when prepping for the release of Taeyeon, I couldn't help but spend some extra time in the studio. I had modified a old scene by the venerable YeyeBirdie to create a poster, and I took a few extra shots while I was at it. My own poses came in real clutch for the shoot.. its not often that I make the time to play with them like this! Here are the images if you'll indulge my showing them off for a moment:
I think she looked so pretty in her cute Halloween Nymph costume! In any case... whew.. I am actually exhausted after typing all that.. and you must be too, if you read it! Thank you again for all of your support and love. Have a happy Halloween, I will see you early November for the next update. Bye, I'm gonna go eat some snacks!
