Progress 20.02.2023 (Patreon)

Man, I'm sleepy. But then again, I had a few late nights... well, later than normal over the weekend, but it happens when I write occasionally. And speaking of writing, it's on update 30. It's funny when at certain points, all you want to do is write.

Anyway, started rendering update 26 this morning, and it's going okay. Just the usual blues of starting a new update. And yet amusingly enough, I always reach the goal I've set for that day. Go figure.

And because of the ending of 24, I won't post TRS2 renders until update 25 it's out. Which annoys me as they are a good way to show progress. Ah well.

And thus, we do other stuff for the renders.

One problem when using male characters is that many skins don't suit younger characters. Mostly because most of them have stubble painted on them. And matching skin can be difficult. But luckily, there are changes when we age, so it isn't too harrowing if you can match things reasonably closely. Either that or I switch to black and white renders for "flashbacks." Although, I need to find a better shirt for the young version. Ah well.

Then there is this. I wasn't thinking of what to render over the weekend. I did what I was in the mood for. And this one, and the one following, is one of those things. I wanted to render a shaman in front of a fire. Had a few orcish assets, so tried them out. Worked nicely. Although, I did some post work on it to make it look like this.

And this. I've had the genie asset for a while. Over a year, I think. I'm not entirely happy about the cloudy tail but can live with it.
