Animation Progress Update & News! - Part 2 (Patreon)

Good morning, everyone! I hope everyone is having an absolutely wonderful week!

I come to you today with the second of three progress updates and some exciting news about future story panels! Let's jump right into it.

As a quick disclaimer, please note that Lara is supposed to be wearing a tank top here, but the clothing simulations are not done, so for this preview update, I figured no one would mind some naked boobies on their screen. Rest assured, her naked breasts will not look so stiff in the final version. In fact, this is what her breasts look like when the tank top is supporting them(I may adjust her nipples as well!)

Animation Progress

Lighting & The Story

Lara has entered an adjacent office room, filled with mysterious boxes, antiques, and collectibles. At a glance, one might confuse the room for nothing more than a place for storage, but the warm light emitting from an old, rustic lamp pierced through the otherwise cold interior. The rest of the office was tinted blue by the dust in the air that captured the intense moonlight.

There was no doubt about it. The crashed boat offshore bore the Trinity insignia, but it had already been claimed by nature, and there were no trails to speak of on the abandoned island. Lara should have been alone. And yet... there were signs of life dwelling within the compound.

Despite its peeling wallpaper and broken floorboards, electricity ran through the apartment complex. It was poorly maintained, but Lara reasoned that a hardy few would have little trouble surviving here. This kept her on her toes at every moment. Never allowing her hand to stray too far from her gun holster.

Lara felt drawn to a wooden figurine that collected dust on a rusty silver platter. It seemed to call out to her. Almost as if she had seen it somewhere before. Her stomach danced with butterflies as she held it up to the moonlight, growing more curious about it every moment. It didn't take long before her curiosity shifted to fear. Between her fingers, the figurine began to vibrate violently as it changed colors and began to glow. An overwhelmingly erotic sensation began to flood into every fiber of her being. Her nipples grew erect, her face turned red, and she fidgeted to cross her legs. Reactively and just in the nick of time, she dropped the figurine onto the table as it erupted in smoke.

But it was already too late. The pieces of junk that previously surrounded the figurine began to change color and glow! One by one, they flew at Lara as she lurched back in fright! CLINK! The first of six pieces of scrap socketed into Lara's necklace... and she began to change...

Materials

All of the delicate details, from the sweat glistening off her skin, to the rough bound leather of the mysterious tome, or to the glowing magic residing within the strange and curvy female wooden figurine-- all have been completed and are looking absolutely gorgeous. Some materials took many revisions, but eventually, one by one, I settled on something that truly felt "right!" 

Length

Since our last update, the length of the animation has quadrupled in size, and we're working into the sexiest moment of the project: the breast expansion and the height growth! I've also gone back and revised the opening scene to better show off the jiggle physics of Lara's boobies. I've attached a video for those that are curious about those sexy improvements! :)

The animation is shaping up to be no less than 2 and a half minutes long, but don't quote me on that! Changes can still be made!

Animating

With the animation already nearing 3,000 frames(with much more to go!), posing and animating remains the biggest time sink and hurdle to overcome. "Why does she feel so stiff?!" Polish polish polish. Words cannot describe how badly I want to buy a motion capture suit and speed up my workflow RIGHT NOW(Even if it means dancing around my home like a mock busty, tall girl! I mean, what would my neighbors think?!) Regardless, a motion capture setup will 100% be in my future! 

Closing Animation Thoughts

I'm pulling 12-15 hour work days, 7 days a week, working tirelessly to get this out to you all as soon as possible. I REALLY want to thank you all for being so incredibly patient and supportive with this animation. You've allowed me to chase my passion for creating the best of the best in BE/Growth animation quality. This time spent will not be in vain.

Future Story Panel News

 I'm writing this segment for a number of reasons. One, I want to put to rest any potential concerns about Haley's Secret, Jacob and the Raven's Kiss, Libidine, and other future stories taking a back seat in favor of animations -- that is NOT the case. Quite the contrary. And two, to announce that future animation projects will be aimed at being 10-30 seconds long, to allow for more even content distribution on my page! :)

When this animation is complete, I plan on creating hundreds of story panels before considering my next small-scale animation. All of your favorite stories will see significant progress very soon!

Lastly, I'm already making plans for my newest story! We voted on it! Remember? It was codenamed "The Giantess Prescription Pill". This story will be different than all others, however, because I will be using a completely different software to render the entire story. This should allow for some next-level storytelling - sexier characters, boobie physics, growing effects, and more! I'll be sure to throw a few polls out there to see if there's any interest in high-quality animations to go alongside this next-generation story.

Thank you, as always, for your amazing support!

Love you guys :)
