Lily Preview + Tier Changes (Patreon)

Hi all, I'm gonna squeeze another post in before the end of the year 😅. I have been playing around with the character editor and am really eager to show off my latest results. This is Lily, who is in line to be the next HS2 girl! 

Lily will be released with the ponytail, but I think she looks super cute with some long hairstyles too. Lily on the left is an example of her with one of sjjpl's paid hairstyles.

Next Pose Pack:

While we are here, I should announce that the next pose pack that I am working on is a "standing model" pack. I think the last one we had was "Lofty Lady," which was quite a while ago. The standing model collection is by far the most publicly used from my collection so it is time to add to it again. 

That reminds me... ✨Thank you✨ to everyone who has been creating works that feature my poses! I am seeing more and more applications of my poses in peoples studio work on discord and on pixiv, thank you for deeming my poses worthy of your meticulously crafted scenes, it fills me with great pride and joy. Please remember do a name drop every once in a while so that more people can find me! 

Patron Tier House Keeping

Please note that I am going to be making some changes to the patron tiers. The changes will be thus:

-Exclusive Animations benefit will be removed 

Reason: It was a holdover from the first months and was not being delivered on anyways. Apologies for this, but the mod architecture for creating animations in HS/koi just never really matured to a point that I was hoping for. They cannot be created, saved, and distributed individually, like poses, so it never became a priority for me to make animations. As far as I know, custom animations are bound to specific scene files, so despite my innate interest in creating animations, I currently do not find them worthwhile for the required time investment. A fun fact about me is that MANY years before this Patreon, I was actually known as a creator of animations, rather than poses, for a game called 3DSV (some of the boomers among you may know the game).

-Enthusiast Tier Character Cards reward will have its wording changed 

Reason: I am still committed to making all of my characters immediately available to all who sub to this tier, but I have been agonizing over how I can implement some extra reward for those who are on for any given month. 

My plan is to begin including a bonus variant of the monthly character, or a prior character. The character's face and body will be the same as the original, but the variant may feature a different outfit, hair, and/or makeup. I hope that this will strike a good balance and give interested patrons some more justification for subbing to the enthusiast tier on any given month, without being consumer-unfriendly. 

If a card comes with a time-gated variant, you will be made aware in a prior post or on the first line of the post's description. There will also be pictures on the illusion discord or my pixiv. Example: 

LILY will feature an exclusive variant:

That is all for now. Thanks for reading and thank you for the continued visitation and patronage. I hope you take advantage of the ongoing steam sale, (I recommend Elden Ring and Total War: Three Kingdoms, both on sale) and have a great new year!
