General Info: Metagirls and more Polls (Patreon)
Content
It's no secret I admire the work of Metagraphy (among other 3D artists). So when he made a special offer to get all his past works, I just had to apply. One of the best things about it was to get the Face Deluxe Mod along with all her Metagirls.
I think it was a great investment that will allow me to create even more beautiful characters in the future for my visual novels. I also received a bunch of scenes, which I plan to study (to figure out how he uses lighting and poses). Of course, I don't intend to copy his work. In fact, we have a very different approach to many things. For instance, while he uses a more artistic lighting style, I try to achieve a more realistic one. I think whenever Metagraphy makes his compositions, he wonders something like: "How can I make it more beautiful". In my case what I wonder is: "How can I make it more real". When I'm working on a composition I always wonder where the light would be coming from if it was the real world. Nonetheless, I know I can learn a lot from studying his scenes, so I can improve my works.
Having said that, I'm reluctant to change anything in the girls I've already created. I think they are fine as they are. I'll use Metagraphy assets to create my future heroines. I'll try to figure out a way to combine the new assets with my style. So far I've only used vanilla faces, so I'll have to experiment a lot first.

Pools
I want to know more about my Patron's preferences, so I'm posting more polls.
The first one is gonna be a Poll about your favorite outfit in Teaser~Cosplay~Kanon. I'll probably make a Role-play scene in the main story with the winner (or the winners). So please vote for your favorite!
The second poll will be to fix something I forgot to include in this poll. I forgot to include the girl's POV as an option. So I'll make a poll about the girl's POV to know how important is for you in a story.
Finally, don't forget I'll be closing Ryouko's tan poll in a few hours. So vote if you haven't yet: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ryoukos-tan-46189416. Although the not-so-tanned version is whining by far. So I'll probably go with that.
That's all for now. I'll post an update on the weekend, about how the development of Voyeur~One-way Mirror~Ryouko is going on, along with some characters introductions (hopefully I'll finish the sprites by then).
Take care!!
