Status Update 2/23/15: Major problem next month and next set preview.

IMPORTANT EDIT: So I just got an email that blogger will no longer allow graphic explicit content as of march 23; (it looks real) which is a major problem as this blog is currently where I host my content. I can just remove all graphic content and give general previews such as this one, but I am not sure that will do it and this is still really bad. I don't get much of any real support from this yet, so paying for an actual website would be silly... Especially considering I just spent so much to buy Octane.  I have no idea what else to do other than wiping graphic content; other ideas/advice welcome... (And I thought things were going bad already...)

RE-EDIT: I am actually considering a separate website now, I have asked around and found some decent options, but this is still really shitty; for all adult artists on blogger, not just me. Any Patreon support would really be appreciated; especially now that I apparently am going to need it. I may have to redo my whole system due to this shit, I will see what happens. This completely fucks my schedule and I basically have to suspend further work until I figure this out. No point in making this stuff without someplace to put it...

Hey all. So I've been messing with Octane and trying to fix some problems that I've had with it so far. One major problem is fixed but the other I am still waiting to hear back from the Octane support people on. It has been a weird last week or so for me (it still is) and at best I may be able to finish the first part of this next set before next week. (The other half requires that tech support I haven't gotten a real response/solution to yet.) I could just render it with poser; but since I am building scenes with Octane in mind now, it would be silly not to use it. (It also takes literally a tenth the time and looks better.) Due to my getting Octane, I have to re-figure a ton of crap and do a lot of  things differently now; but overall it's much better. (At least for me as a creator, I am assuming the images look better too; I think so)

In any case, I did manage to get three figures working in an Octane scene which is nice because I can do what I was planning to do with this first part of set 9 and not the backup plan. Here is an early preview of part one of the next set; it will feature James and the two elf sisters from the last set. As always, this image may not be final; it is just a preview. I do not plan to release the set as part one and part two, but I may release part one on Patreon until part two is done; and then just post the full set. Even if the Octane people get back to me today, I still need time to finish all of this stuff; so getting everything done by next week is highly unlikely. Given all that's happened, I'd be surprised if I have anything done by the end of this week; but as always I will do my best. (Now highly unlikely to be done soon in any way due to blogger shenanigans, see above.) 

If people could keep voting in the polls, that would be nice... the VN poll still has less than half the votes of the one on the right for some reason. I guess pollmaker gets to stay on Patreon; people here like it even less than the normal polls. (http://www.poll-maker.com/poll242101xEe5a41Bc-9)

Set eight posted to Patreon!

Hey everybody. I actually managed to finish the set today though it took a lot more work that I thought. (It took over 30 hours total to render everything and about two days of spare time for me to finish the writing and postwork.) I need to finish the Patreon mini-set and post the two new character bios sometime in the next few days, but other than that I am drained until the current special poll is done. I tried to go over this set as best I could despite hitting the proverbial wall hours ago; but some small errors may exist if someone gets this before I double check it in the next few days. So apologies in advance for that if that happens, but I really wanted to finish this inside January if possible and I did so that's good.

Set eight is the first part of the small story arc "Road to Lithorca" titled "Taking a break". It features new persistent characters James and Tabitha, along with two elven girls and a big orc. This set is a massive 32 images with both clean and comic versions and there are SIX preview images below; although two are the same as before, just larger and actually finished. I am totally wiped right now and I will try to post the character bios in the next few days along with the new patreon mini-set. If you like the previews below, the set is on Patreon right now for the appropriate tiers; plus you get to support my work and help me make it better. There are also polls on Patreon to help decide what happens in some future projects, including my first VN attempt which I am planning through. Constructive comments welcome, also keep voting in the polls on the right. There are also feeds and follow widgets under those if you like my blog.

EDIT 2/2: I changed a few words on three pages of the comic version of set eight and re-uploaded it; not that it was wrong before, I just wanted to reword some things. I have also added James and Tabitha's bios to the character page up top, so check those out if you are one of those people that enjoy backstory and additional info.

Set eight public preview and two new polls up!

Hi all. Here is the public preview of the first chapter of the upcoming story set. There is still a lot of work to do but I hope to finish it this month. There are two images below, the left one contains the two new persistent characters, James and Tabitha. (Their bios will be put on the character page when the set gets finished.) The right image features two of the three non-persistent characters in the set; an elven girl and a big orc. These images are not final and certain bits of the images/characters may be tweaked, but they are good enough for previews.

There are also two new polls up on the right, one asking about breast size preference and the other asking how dark you like your content. So vote away and spread the word! Set seven will be posted here in a few days, so check back for that. I also posted a different angle gif for the animation in the last post earlier today, so check that out if you haven't yet.

As far as the previous polls go, it seems that Zayla is still the favorite character by a wide margin (I figured as much when I first made the poll); but all the other girls got a fair number of votes as well this time, so that's good. Regarding the most important aspect poll, body came in first place as most important with nine votes (I am guessing that this relates to Zayla); followed by personality, face, backstory, and sexual preferences all coming in second place by getting about four votes each. Hair got two votes, race got one, and nobody voted clothes as the most important thing, which I understand but I still find somewhat surprising since everything else got at least one. Anyway, I will check back in once I have something so post. Constructive comments  on the previews are welcome.
