WIP and Status Update (Patreon)

Starting off, we have...

Tsunade of Naruto fame! This is a piece by Beowulf that I have put off for some time. I wanted to wait until I felt stitching and projection were handled a bit better in house, and the results ARE significantly better. She actually leans over top of you to the point where her tits are in your face. I wanted to push STITCH to its limits. It's not perfect, and the flaws are there, but it is certainly better than it used to be. This will be voiced by Sylaise, so it should be a really fun "ride".

I've been pretty hush about this project of mine, as it was a major endeavor to animate and light for 8 characters in one scene. I think I spent more time on this project than I did the past week's worth of animations. We're back to more of Karissa's D&D adventures in VR, and she's making some goblin, trolls, orcs, and even half-draconian friends this go around. As a sorcerer, she has a pretty high charisma stat; if you've been following her other adventures, DOOM not withstanding, you've already figured this out. So it's no suprise that she talked herself out of this ambush.

This is an animation I started with Wampa. Wampa told me they wanted something new and challenging, so we agreed that working together on VR projects would be a good start. Working with a talented artist who wants to animate specifically FOR virtual reality? I'm in.

Obviously Batgirl slipped up and now Harley is "showing her the ropes".

Get it? Because she's tied up?

Anyway, Harley didn't expect Batgirl to enjoy it so much and, well, here we are. Wampa nailed a homerun on this one, no doubt.

We're back to Ivy assisting Countess once again. Stoned Dude sent me this a while back, but I wasn't quite skilled enough to give it the ending and extension I wanted. Now I can do that.

Here is another animation by KisX. I was pretty excited for this, as I hadn't worked on an animation with a reflective floor before. SFM has it's limitations, and the analytic eye will see it, but I don't make these videos for you to analyze the flaws. It was also good practice to extend an already sexy animation.

Here are two more pieces by ProcrastinatingLazily. Luna IS the best nurse. I'll be turning the rest of these scenes into one final compilation once it's all said and done.

And last, but certainly not least, we have the Far Cry 3 crew watching as you and Harley get down on the pool table. This is going to be an intense video. KDE did amazing work with this. He warned me that I might have to animate some of the other characters as they were off scene during certain shots, and I'm glad he did warn me. It's going to be a great scene in VR, no doubt.

That's it for WIP. There were a couple others videos I have worked on, but I don't have shots for them. Hey, I gotta keep a couple cards up my virtual sleeve.

Update wise, things are going pretty well. Vacation was a nice break, and although I wasn't able to see my family due to travel restrictions, I'm quite refreshed and ready to jump back into studio work. I desperately needed a true vacation, as I have been working non stop for the past couple years. Time off in the past has consisted of me still working here and there, and I was starting to burn out. I needed to step away to regain perspective, and I have.

I'm still working on the Deborah Harper model revamp, as well as some props that I asked Scouts to bring into SFM from Dragon Age. I currently have my eye on the new Raid PC models, but that's a distant goal until I can free up more time to learn about ripping models. I feel they would be great for many fantasy type scenes, especially given Karissa's taste in adventures gone awry in VR.

I've been playing around with a couple ideas on expanding the studio and what it offers for content. We're already known for our VR videos, and we're slowly gaining popularity for our non-VR versions as well, and I want to take the studio beyond this and work towards creating a friendly environment to talk about sex and what makes people happy in that regard. I don't ever see myself stepping away from SFM and supporting the adult CG community, and they're just ideas at the moment, but we'll see where it goes.

That's pretty much it for now. I'm gonna get back to work so myself and the rest of the studio can bring you more videos to enjoy. Take care, and thank you for your continued support!

P.S. Don't forget about the polls for our next studio release. If you're new to the Patreon or just missed the poll release before, make sure to get your first and secondary votes in! Even if your choice doesn't win this go, keeping your choice from being the bottom two models ensures it will be back for another round down the road.
