So, if any of you haven't seen my recent FA journal, my vacation has been kinda cut off by gallbladder issues. Looking like I'll have to get the sucker taken out soon.
I had planned to take this month to strictly avoid doing anything that felt like work, then come back rested and recharged and ready to finally take on some 3D commissions that people have been wanting for ages. I was fina...

It's suggestions time! Lemme know what I should be making this month.
As always, remember to keep your suggestions short, 140 characters or less as that's all the room I'm given for text in the polls. Suggestions can involve my characters and/or generics.

I have been working on the animation; I have the background, lighting and gear roughed out and ready to go, but just as I was about to start the actual animating I decided to stop and make a quick update to the dragon to fix something that's been bugging me for a long time. Ever since I made him, his bits have been way too far back. While I honestly don't mind it aesthetically, it does...

It looks like this month's animation is going to feature the birb, so I thought I'd swing by his model and give it a few little tweaks and updates. The foot-ribbons have become a pretty core part of his character at this point, so it seemed like it was about time to get those in there, and I also made him his bandana while I was at it. Since I did that little sketch of Sy painting his talons pi...

Sorry, had to remake these polls; Patreon went and switched the default poll mode from allowing multiple votes to only allowing one vote per person without me noticing. I think allowing multiple is probably the fairest way so I'm setting it up again with that enabled.

Me and Pojodan have been talking about making something again for ages, so I decided to squeeze in one more animation commission. Since I've been experimenting with more stylized fur lately, it also seemed like a good excuse to experiment with more stylized backgrounds, and here's the result of my fiddling around with that. Gotta say, I'm liking it so far. :P
The best bit; rendering this...
It occurred to me that I could post this here, so I probably should huh? I also happened to have a bigger version laying around... I noticed the files were unnecessarily large when it finished rendering so when I posted it to FA I scaled it down to better suit a 1080p monitor, but if you're one of the folks rocking a 1440 or 4K, maybe you'll get some better use out of this one.

This month's animation has finished, but with my new plan to release videos at the start of each month instead of at the end, it's a little too early to post it anywhere. However, due to this month's scene being a little softer than the usual I can actually post it here, so I guess y'all get some advanced viewing! It's almost like I'm running a real Patreon or something, ha. Check out the attac...

You voted to see the maned wolf ride the beast, so here we go! A test render from this month's animation- by pure chance the fluids in this one happened to form a lovely little pearl necklace for Tahlia here. I figured that since I had already rendered this frame out to test, I might as well toss it up as a teaser; it's a pretty nice image if I do say so myself!
Bit of a spoiler for the ...
I don't think everyone quite understood the assignment, but here are all the results of the suggestions that actually fit what I was asking for, hah. If you missed it, I took a quick mini-animation commission featuring Jacki and Kat, but they wanted to leave the details of what happens in it down to you guys. I put up a post for suggestions, and while not all of them really work for a mini-anim...
2022-06-23 08:33:51 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the story- it was pointed out to me recently that in my mini-animation rampage where I paired Kat up with all my female cast members, I missed one- Jacki! All the mini animations that were not just my own characters were done as commissions so I asked if they would be interested in such a thing, and they accepted, but with an odd twist; they specifically wanted my patreon peeps (das you)...

Y'all wanted a name, so I gave her one. I genuinely didn't pick the name because it sounds like "tall", in fact I didn't even notice until I was already thinking about it for a while. But I'm not gonna complain either, it's stupid in just the kind of way I love. :P
So, there you go! Named maned lady.

She tall! Y'all are probably familiar by now with how big BFCT is. I don't have many characters who can stand and look him in the eye like that! Their stupid long faces made this pose a little awkward, but whateves, this is just for the comparison. She actually wins just by a hair if you count the ears, but if you go top of the head he's a lil' bigger.

Turns out my tablet can handle some fur, more or less!
For those of you who don't care about the details of behind the scenes blender stuff, the long and short of it is: I'm messing around with a different way of rendering fur that has some interesting results but I'm not sure yet if it'll be usable. Fur will probably need many tweaks but for now, here it is!

For those not in the know, I'm currently rendering out a very long animation, which means it's taking a very long time. In the meantime I can't do much of note on my main computer 'cause it's busy rendering, but I've got a windows tablet that I recently discovered can do most of the job of building a model pretty effectively so I started picking away at that for something to do while I wait.

It's suggestion time! Getcher ideas in for the monthly painting here. Last month's was a fun one and the result turned out pretty good if I do say so myself- hope y'all enjoyed the result, and I'm very curious to see what this month will bring!

I've been quiet for a while, but as ever that's just because I've been workin' on stuff. This month's animation has just been wrapped up and is off to render! Y'all voted to see Sy and BFCT strapped into some machines in a "whoever finishes first loses" contest.
There aren't many scenes I can show off, but I was doing a test of the experimental multi-camera shot I tossed into th...
