Update - June 2018 (Patreon)

Slow progress, but a bunch of things happening! I'll try to keep things short.

We'll start with a follow-up to the most recent update, the subject of upgrading from DAZ Studio 3.1 to 4.10 version. In short, it was a bust. It *is* possible to migrate some things over, but it's tedious, time-consuming, the newer program actually loses some features I've come to rely on so it's actually slower to work with. It's simply not worth it, and so I'm sticking with what I have and the vague hope that someday there will be a version 5 that doesn't suck so hard.

Also on that note though, despite the move-over not working out, I'll still be aiming to update a lot of older characters, I think. I'll take a look at other rendering options as well, and experiment with my own optimizations so I can maybe bring Florina/Fiora (saliva succubus) into a render-able state. ^^

In other news, apologies for once again being slow/absent around here; I started doing some part-time work for a friend over the past month, and it's been more exhausting than I'm used to. My motivation hasn't been all that great either, I'm still getting ideas but not the drive to work on them. I'm trying to put a little more focus on taking care of myself physically and mentally, so I can get past those hangups.

That being said, I do still have some things I'm progressing on! Teena's PoV mawshot is done with renders and ready for postwork, and I'll be posting a WIP shortly after this, actually.
There's also one other idea that has my attention a bit more than some others, something "simple" with my character Momiji and a handful of tinies. It's an indulgent piece; a tiny caught in her cleavage, another getting licked, the last few caught in her fingers. Multiple prey characters complicates any scene, but the rest is just simple and fun and I'll try to start on that soon, I think.

TL;DR of the post: Software issues pushed me back to my old setup, so I'll just need to continue as I was and work around the limitations in other ways. Non-art work has gotten me a bit worn-out, and mild depression is also slowing me down; but I have some art progress being made regardless and a new concept I'll start on soon, so thanks to all of you for being patient over the past months!
