Quick Animation Update + Information About Amys Big Wish (Long Boring Post) (Patreon)
Content
Hello all! First off, I want to say that I have been working on a scene and I most likely will not be sharing an animation preview of it because I would like this section to be a surprise =) I will provide a status update and some new previews starting next week.
Long Boring Stuff Starts... NOW!
OK so... in regards to Amys Big Wish. As a lot of you know our next project will be Amys Big Wish and it will have a whole new cast of characters and stories. However, the characters you already know will be in it as well (Mary, Maggie, Bella). Now modeling, rigging, texturing, and designing new characters takes a LOT of time. If I was a super professional modeler/rigger/texture artist, it would take me at LEAST a 40 hour work week to get a character completed.
Amys Big Wish will have around 20 models in total. 13 main characters then 7 "generic" extras that I will re-use and re-texture to look slightly different. Since there will be so many characters, I decided to hire someone to help me get them all ready. However, that person sort of flaked out on me and disappeared.
Naturally, this caused me a lot of stress... but it made me think a lot about these characters and the whole process in general. If I spent 20 weeks modeling, rigging, and texturing, that would just be horrible for you all, and mind numbing for me. So, I have gone to a "professional" site and setup a contract with someone to help me finish these characters, their rigs, and textures.
So, as you may know I have already gone and modeled all the characters with a different style... but after really thinking and looking at them in great detail, I feel the style is not what I really want.
As much as it pains me, to do this, I am going to scrap all the models I previously made for Amys Big Wish and I am going to have them redone in a style much more true to what I currently have. I will still use all the references and ideas posted in their creation polls and posts but I will make the style much more like what I have now.
My end goal is to make a "Disney/Pixar-ish" looking cartoon world filled with lots of futa girls doing futa girl things *insert winky face*. The style of the characters I made isnt really that... I fully realized this when I was googling "3D Porn" and "3D Futa Porn" looking for some reference material and I noticed the Amys Big Wish models look much more like everything else than I really want.
I will still adapt all of the characters to have the "real hair" look you saw in Marys 2001 version, and I will make improvements to the existing characters as well. But I think the "new" style is too "Overwatchy" (if that makes any sense) and there is already a lot of that type of porn out there.
I apologize that this post is super long and boring but I wanted to try to explain my thought process a little and be as open as I can about what I am planning to do going forward. Long story short, I am going to pay someone to re-make the models for Amys Big Wish in a more Disney-ish style, and paying someone to texture and rig them as well. I am doing this because in my heart I feel this style is much more what I want to produce and this is going to help me realize the dream I had when I started doing this.
Quick EDIT: I will post previews of the new models asap and get feedback and ideas from you as soon as possible. The first model should be done by 6/28.
