Progress Report, 24/02 - 23 (Patreon)

Hello everyone and welcome to another progress report!

Fighting my seemingly permanent state of dizzyness and ear aches, I've managed to make some progress this week. The comic has had several more pages posed, though I am yet to render them out yet as they need a few more lighting passes to be up to quality, and I've managed to sort out a very nice indeed She-Hulk model that I hope to showcase soon enough. The Sif sculpt also seems to have been well received, and responded well to the lighting conditions that I usually subject these models to in the wallpaper with feedback being very positive indeed regarding her inclusion, so expect to see more of her in the near future.

I've also acquired the Atomic Heart ballerina model owing to Keyd10ri's efforts, and have been experimenting with how Rigid's lineup of Cyberpunk models respond under various conditions in the Eevee engine. Shape keys have seemingly been trimmed severely with this release, which means the models will require more extensive sculpting on my part than usual in order for the models to come into line with my other content.

The plan for next week is to push out a few more comic pages, and see about getting more work on the Ivy animation. I hope to have more large project releases this year than 2022 had, so I'll be trying to dedicate some more time to them even when my motivation (or health) isn't at its peak, if anything to get some of the more pressing ones out of the way. As for the health front, my doctor ended up calling in sick - they are ordinary people too, at the end of the day -  so I'm expecting a new time for checkup by next week which will hopefully remedy whatever's plaguing me. Regardless, I'll keep you all informed, just as usual.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for all of your kind words. I'm at the juncture where I hope that my doctor "finds something" but that it isn't anything serious, or at least nothing some antibiotics or whatnot can't remedy. Fingers crossed, and in the meantime I can at least drink copious amounts of tea with a clear conscience. Hope you're doing alright, wherever you might be.

Take care of yourselves out there, and each other.
