Leaning Poses 02 and HS1 Character Preview (Patreon)

Last time we did leaning poses, I had a big pouch of ideas, but I couldn't get around to nearly as many of them as I hoped. This time I am happy to say that I rounded out the collection to a total of 25. 

For some reason I cannot explain, I find that I have a lot of trouble with leaning poses. I end up going back and remaking countless iterations of them before I am satisfied. This category lends itself well to close-up, angled shots, as Helen demonstrates:

I have also included a set of poses where the character presses up against the wall, which I find to be pretty sexy and are good when used with depth of field, as demonstrated by next month's HS2 Model:

Trinity is our HS2 girl for Oct, as we swing back to a more western aesthetic.

While we are on the topic of characters, here is our HS1 girl for September! Sindanariee (Sin-da-nar-E-A) is a she-elf who has travelled the world and served many a party as a noble healer. Here she is trying on some odd human garments that for some reason the party lead really wanted her to have.. 

Also a quick RL update: My steam deck which I ordered like 6 months ago has finally arrived! I will share my thoughts on it in my early Oct update, once I have put some hours into it. 

I bought the cheapest, 60GB variant and intend to upgrade the SSD manually. I tested Elden Ring on it and found that it can run the game on medium, maintain 40FPS, and somehow only consume 17.6W, including the screen... For comparison, my PC draws nearly 500W when running the same game, not counting the monitor!

I am more convinced now than ever that the age of build-it-yourself PCs is at an end. The following decade very well may be dominated by next-gen integrated graphics solutions. 

Thanks for reading my ramblings, see you tomorrow for the release!
