I'm finally there! Scene development for chapter 1 done. Now it's time to crunch renders. (Patreon)

For those of you feeling a bit content starved: don't worry, there's still a render set coming out this month and it's ENTIRELY Marcella based! I just basically need the entire upcoming week to get it done :D

I didn't wanna leave you guys without an update. I'll have far more to show in about another 24 hours when I have more renders to demonstrate. But I'll give a quick rundown of what I've spent the week doing:

1) About the time of the text update last week I thought I had something good to show because I was working with an interior asset that was rendering nicely. It's just that the more tried to make it interesting the more I realised that thematically it felt very much like the ONS/ACE interior and I couldn't put you guys through more of the same.

2) I had Nikki's room, but that's just a location I'm going to be using in future chapters. Not immediately.

3) So I spent the rest of the week frantically going through a variety of mansion/villa assets to find a place that I felt worked as a residence Marcella would move into, that also offered a substantially different vibe than Kayla's ONS highrise apartment.

4) Most houses and interior scenes don't come out of the box render ready. So each place that I thought was potentially interesting required the same cycle of setting up all scene lights, rendering Marcella, augmenting with pose lights where necessary, deciding if it worked or not, and moving on if it didn't.

5) About yesterday I finally got it right. This image in the thumbnail is an exterior shot from the place that Marcella is going to be moving into in Chapter 1 of her new comic series. The other two shots are from an interior I'll probably still end up using but for one of the other girls. If nothing else, it gives you a look at how test renders help me establish lighting, vibe, mood, etc.

6) I can now start rendering out the shots to put that comic together.

7) The actual comic itself will drop in May but I can definitely show a lot before then.

Sorry for the wait everyone! Just wanted to make sure I did it right :)
