Quick Update and Next Render Teaser (Patreon)

Sorry for the lack of updates/content since the MKX Mileena variant release of Fight On; I've been incredibly busy lately and under a lot of stress dealing with some personal obligations. My free time has been very limited, and when I do finally find some, I often struggle to put myself in the right mindset for being creative and working in Blender.

So, in light of my current situation, I've decided to work on something that will be relatively quick, simple, and enjoyable — a widescreen wallpaper variant of After the Club. This is something I've received numerous requests to make, and now seems like an ideal time.

In terms of work, I'll need to adjust the position of the camera as well as the lens to convert the render from portrait to landscape, plus make environmental tweaks. I may need to make small sculpting adjustments to Claire and/or her hanging necklace as well due to the change in camera angle. I'll also look for any lighting tweaks that might need done. I've included a WIP in this post with an initial pass at adjusting just the camera.

Also, another issue contributing to the lack of content since the last release, is I'm currently in the process of reorganizing and updating my entire Blender library! Once this is finished, I'll have wider access to a variety of assets, including newer, up-to-date models, while still having archived backups of older assets. It's not the most glamorous thing to read about (or write about, for that matter), but this is definitely something that I need to take the time to work on and complete.

Thanks again for your support! I should have this render done and published fairly soon, provided I don't run into any issues :)
