So I got Octane, and it's awesome.

Hello again. Instead of going into details here, I will simply say that this project now potentially has a lot more of my time than it previously did due to impending real life changes. Due to that and a few other factors, I caved and bought Octane. It is amazing so far with a few issues here and there that need fixing but as the previews below show, it is quite nice. This also renders in minutes as opposed to the hours that poser renders take. The main problem there is that I am limited to small scenes with only about two figures maximum or else my gpu can't handle it right now. (I think I have ways around this but so far that is what I have found with preliminary tests.) That means that making stuff for octane renders is a bit more work for me right now as I need to make many small scenes as opposed to a large one with many parts. (This may be for the best.) Also yes, this was partially why I had that last poll about if people wanted fewer, quality images or not.

I will do the best that I can with this and hope that this works out better than things have been; but either way I think changes are going to have to be made to my current system. What those changes are, I am not totally sure yet but fair bet the Patreon exclusivity for things will be lengthened at the very least. (I have been considering this for a while as people who actually read this know; this is a pretty good time and reason to do so.) So the Patreon mini-sets from here on will absolutely use Octane; it is perfectly suited to them as the below images show. I have no idea what this means in regards to main sets yet, I would like to use Octane for them but it would be weird if some images couldn't be done with it and some could, but I will try. As far as the game goes, I also have no idea if this will work for it or not, I will see. The problem there is that some scenes I want to include that I just have no idea how I would get it working in Octane given the limits I have with textures.

Here are those previews, feedback would be appreciated. The left image is an octane render of a Lucia image I had on DA (check there for a comparison) and the right image is the octane render of the mini-set 6 preview in the last post; the difference is clear. (I will re-render the rest of mini-set six and repost it as soon as I sort out one of the issues I have with Octane.) I also replaced the old character images for these two on my characters page with these for obvious reasons, the rest will follow as soon as I can get to it. As far as the next story set goes, this kind of fucks everything since I have to change a lot of it (basically break it into two scenes, maybe three) to try and work Octane in. I will do the best that I can, but I may have to break it into two small sets as opposed to the one large set I planned. I know that I also wanted to have the previews up around now, but this screws that plan too. I will try to get the early preview up in the next few days and a regular preview up sometime after that. Also this poll and the one on the right still need votes so check them out: (http://www.poll-maker.com/poll242101xEe5a41Bc-9) For some reason this poll has less than half the votes of the one on the right... no idea why this keeps happening.

EDIT 2/20: Early preview is up on Patreon, hopefully the regular previews will be done by early next week.

Patreon changes, mini-set 6 posted, new polls up now and previous poll results!

Hey everyone. I had some time yesterday after all so I did this month's Patreon stuff as well as changing around Patreon again. I have added in various access options to games I make and edited some other stuff. Basic game early access is lower now, beta game access is where it used to be. Higher tiers have been totally changed and more details specified for them. Mini-set 6 features four images of Helenya and is up now, along with a new wallpaper for all tiers. A preview of mini-set 6 is below. Construction on the next story set will start tomorrow. If you like my work, please spread the word and consider supporting me on Patreon to get early access to my stuff and other goodies (like these mini-sets): https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart. Any and all support is appreciated and helps motivate me.

In the mean time I have put up two new polls; one on the right and one in a link in this post. I am trying a new method of polling, to see if this gets better/more results. This poll asks who you want to see star in my first VN attempt that I am planning through in the general sense. This is not a special poll and so I will not necessarily use the winner of the poll, this is more of an interest gauge. If something wins by a huge margin though, there is a much higher chance it might happen. Be aware; the first three options will limit what I can do in the VN, as I need to get the recurring characters out of whatever trouble they get in to. The last three options allow me to do darker shit like bad ends and the like as the character will not be overly important and is somewhat disposable, including the last option for using (what I planned to be) a future recurring character. I can figure something out if I decide to use her but semi-harsh things happening to her is fine for reasons that may be revealed later if necessary. Anyway here is that poll, (http://www.poll-maker.com/poll242101xEe5a41Bc-9) so vote now and spread the word if you want to see your favorite character in that list in a VN/choose your own adventure game or if you want to see some darker shit with one of the unnamed characters! (I am not sure which I will do, maybe the second one if one of the darker options wins; maybe a bit of both) Comments/feedback welcome on this or the current slave training game. Note: I am not working on the VN game yet in any actual fashion, I am just gauging interest in what people want to see so that I have a better idea what to plan when I do start work on it.

As far as the other new poll; it asks what kind of hair you prefer on female characters. Options available include long, medium, short, ponytails, braids, updos/buns and fancy/eccentric hair. (The last one is for the weird/complex hairstyles.) For a length reference, Zayla's hair would be medium; so longer than that is "long". The results from last weeks polls are that people seem to be alright with either quality or quantity when it comes to images, which is good to know; and that people want me to focus on the story arc, so that is the plan for now. Here is that preview of mini-set 6, and I will post again toward the end of the week (hopefully) with some previews of the next set. (Early previews should be on Patreon in a few days.)

Patreon miniset 5 posted, previous poll results, and two new polls up now!

Hey all. I have posted Patreon miniset five, it features Zayla and some imps in a few images. Below is one one the seven images as a preview. If you like my work and want to support me, you can get access to sets such as this each month as well as helping to decide what goes into them (to some extent) most of the time as well as just getting my normal sets early. (I am still considering extending the Patreon exclusivity length.) Support also helps my side projects go faster; such as animations and games. Just in case you didn't read the update in the other post; I have also posted the two new bios on the character page if you are into that.

I have taken down the old polls, a few hours before it was technically over but there have been no new votes in the special poll since yesterday so I figured it was done. (I also have something to do later, so I am writing this now.) The result of the special poll is that most people want me to work on the slave training game, so I will do that for the first half of February. If you have questions or want to ask if certain things will be in the game or make a suggestion, feel free to ask in the comments. (The scenes are still being planned so now is the time.) The other options in the poll got a fair few votes though, which is always nice to see that there are other things that I do that people like. The other polls are discussed after the break, to keep this post from being too large. New polls are up though, so vote on those! I am not sure when my next update will be given that I will be working on the game, but I will try to post something next week with a progress report.

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.

1/21/15 - Another new animation up! (now with two angles!)

Hey everyone. I've been pretty busy recently but I still hope to finish this next set by the end of the month; it's just really complicated. In the meantime I sort of got the other animation working. It isn't the angle I wanted, but I think it still looks good. The gif is below, and the high quality movie files are up on Patreon. Keep voting in the polls and spread the word about my work! Set seven public release is next week, so there will be that at the very least.

This animation features Salune and another elven slave girl, this time with actual sex. Comments/feedback are welcome, consider supporting me if you really like it and want to see more.

UPDATE 1/24: I have added the back angle gif of this animation here. The high quality files are on Patreon as well. The lighting is a tiny bit different  in the back angle gif because I had to remove a wall to get the camera angle I used, but I think it still looks fine. I am hoping to get a preview of my current set up today and change the polls, we will see how much time I can get to do that.

Status Update: 1/15/15 - Set eight construction in progress.

Hi again. I haven't had time to do that much this week, but I have started construction on the next image set. (Characters/story done, I need to finish the scene then start making the actual images.) This one will be interesting because it is the first one that is part of a proper story arc, so some things will be a bit different in a few ways (such as more dialogue/non-sex images per set). This upcoming set also has five figures in the scene which is making things interesting to work on it.

I have the one preview up on Patreon of the two new named characters appearing in this next set, (it has been up for a while but I just reposted it with a better looking one) and I am posting a second early preview on Patreon right now of the other three figures in the set. Put the two previews together and you may guess a fair bit of what might happen in this next set. I will keep working on the new set, and see if I have time to fix that other animation over the weekend; but no guarantees there, this one is more complicated than the last one and has all kinds of issues. I also posted some new images on deviant art, so check that out and keep voting in the two polls here.

The current plan is to post an actual image preview (like a semi-final one, the ones on Patreon now are early previews because the scene construction isn't done) sometime next week to Patreon, then post it here a while later, so watch for that. If you don't want to wait, you can support me on Patreon now and see the early previews, or even vote in the polls at the mid level tiers for my upcoming projects/minisets as well as get access to all sorts of other stuff that I have posted for the different tiers. All support helps my work get better, faster as well as give me more time and motivation which enables me to work on this and my side projects more (like the game idea I posted before). The seventh set will be posted here towards the end of the month, so hopefully I can get this set done before that, but this one is complicated so maybe not. I also need to do a miniset for Patreon by the end of the month, so I have a lot to do.

EDIT 1/18: I did a bit of work yesterday on the next set, but didn't have much time today. There was a bunch of real life issues to deal with; hopefully I will have more time in the coming week.

1/11/15 - New animation up!

Hi all. I finished one of the new animations I have been working on; it features Salune teaching one of Zayla's other elven slaves how to deepthroat a cock. It's short, but I made it to loop well, so it doesn't seem like it really. (Just to explain something: I can't really do much more than this for animations right now unless I make them without shaders/shadows, which makes it look fairly crappy. Making this short animation took over seven hours just to render it. That is why it took me a week to fix it, I kept finding new problems after I rendered it each night.)

This is my first real attempt with making a sex animation and I am still working out various problems. Below is the gif of the animation, a high quality video file is up on Patreon. If I can find time and/or if I am able to get the other animation working, I will post it here in the coming week; but I need to start construction on the main image set for this month, so I may not have time. In the meantime, keep voting in the polls here; and there are still fancy polls up on Patreon for those interested, also any feedback on the game idea in the previous post would be appreciated.

Oh and here is a bonus image of the complete scene, just to give you a better idea of what's going on in that animation.

Status Update 12/31/14 and Happy New Year!

Hey again. I have been working on the character bios for the various characters I have already made as well as a handful of new ones that nobody has seen yet. I hope to get the initial ones finished within the week, and I plan to post previews on Patreon of the newer characters before the set(s) featuring them is/are posted here.

Speaking of Patreon, I have posted a new poll up there for the $5 tier and up. The poll is simple, it asks which of the many things listed do you want to see come together (pun definitely intended) in a mini set. (It may be a full set if a lot of people vote or if I get carried away again.) The top two choices from the poll will be put into a mini set for Patreon. (Obviously at least one of the top two needs to be a female, if not I will use the top choice and whoever the highest voted girl is.) There are a variety of choices on the poll, including all the girls I have made so far, all the monster options from the set seven poll, as well as options for a random female slave, either human or elf. There is also one new monster option: a Cerberus! This poll will be up for the month of January, and may even be used twice if there are a lot of votes. (i.e. one mini set for mid-January with whatever is winning at the time, and another for February with the ending winners.)

This is a far more generous poll than I intend to usually do, as it has basically everything that I have done/offered as an option. So if you want to see some specific combination from that list, this is your chance. You also get to help support my work and get access to the Patreon content for the appropriate tiers that is already up! (Such as the last two sets I made.)

Anyway, keep voting on the polls here on the blog as well and watch for the bio pages being added here within a week. (Hopefully.) Finally, Happy New Year to everyone!

EDIT 1/2/2015: I also posted a new poll on Patreon for the $15 tiers and up giving a choice of heroines for my first attempt at a VN/choose your own adventure game. Most of my girls so far are available as choices, as well as options for a random female elf and a random human girl. If one of the random girl options wins the vote, things can get... darker... as far as story twists/content go. (Since they would [probably] be one-off characters, they don't need to get out of the trouble they get in...unless maybe you really want them to.) As far as the character bios go, I am done with most of the writing, I didn't want to put too much in this early. I would like to get pictures up on the page to go with all the text, but it isn't behaving so far. Hopefully I can sort this out over the weekend.
 

Set seven posted to Patreon!

Hey everyone. I managed to finish the seventh set and I am posting it to Patreon right now. The name of the set is "To catch a Minotaur", for obvious reasons. It is 31 images and features Helenya the succubus and of course, a minotaur. I think this turned out extremely well, as hopefully shown in the preview images below. The set will be exclusive to Patreon for a month or so before it is released free here. If you want to help support my work and get access to it right now, it is available for the $5 tiers and up on my Patreon page: http://www.patreon.com/redleatherart. The archive posted there has clean and comic versions of each image in the set.

I am way too tired right now to go over the polls and post new ones, that will have to wait until tomorrow morning. Constructive comments on the previews are welcome.

Here are four preview images:

25k views and Patreon revamp!

Hi everyone. This blog just hit another important milestone; 25k overall pageviews! So I made this image for the occasion; there is a pg 13 version of it on my deviant art page as I mentioned last post. The image features Zayla and Salune posing with some of Zayla's various toys.

In other news I have rewritten much of the Patreon page; and shifted some of the benefits around, as well as changing some basic things. There are now more benefits/goodies available at lower support levels along with custom stuff available at higher support levels. I added a $2 support level which just gets you access to the Patreon feed where I post previews and promo images. There is also the basic $5 tier that gets you early access to my normal image sets as well. (The exclusivity period is currently a month, I may extend this in the future if need be.)

Considering that I now plan to work on animations and games as time allows, those have been added to the content list and are generally available (games get early releases/previews on Patreon, animations get high quality mp4/gif files on Patreon) for the $15 tier along with all the 'bonus" content now. (Early/unused renders and the like; this used to be on the tier above.) The $15 tier and above also get access to the Patreon polls that determine some part of a set each month and even help me decide what to make on occasion, as well as getting the Patreon exclusive "mini" set that I make each month, such as the one I made last week. (It was full size at 24 images with a comic version as well, but that was abnormal.) If you want to see something specific from me, there are tiers that can accommodate that as well. The top two tiers basically allow the patrons to ask for whatever they want for that month; so if there is something specific that you really want to see or have me work on, that is an available option.

Any and all support is appreciated; the more support I get for this project, the better my work will be and the more content I can make. I have two funding goals set, a low one to increase quality and the higher one being that I double the base number of images per set; which would be amazing. Anyway, I hope to get the seventh set done and posted to Patreon this coming week, and the sixth set gets released free at the end of the week as well so keep checking back for those.

EDIT 12/23: Construction on set seven is done, I plan to render it tonight. I think this one is really nice, probably because this is the first public set I have done since I actually got a rendering card, so now I can actually put props/scenery in the scenes. (The Patreon set two weeks ago was the actual first.) I am going to try and get all the writing/postwork done and ready today so that I can just slap it on the images tomorrow when the renders are done. So unless something horrific happens with the renders, I hope to have set seven posted to Patreon tomorrow. Also, I will probably take the votes down when I post the sixth set publicly at the end of this week; so vote now if you haven't already!

EDIT 12/24: So something did happen while rendering the seventh set, it isn't major but I want to redo it and I don't think I am going to have time to redo the images and finish the postwork today. The problem isn't horrific as I thought it might be (that was something else that I actually caught in time) but there is an important prop in over half the scenes that didn't show up right if at all for some reason that I need to figure out. I do not plan to work on this tomorrow because it's a holiday but if I can't finish it all today I will just have to release it on friday. Sorry for the delay again but I want this to be as good as it can be.

Patreon "mini" set four finished!

Hey. I finally finished the new Patreon set, and it ended up being full size and quality. It was supposed to be a few small images, but I made a story for it and ended up liking it enough to go all in. It features Karen and a a homeless beastman who lives near the brothel where she works. The set ended up being 24 images, with a clean and comic version of each. I think this turned out pretty well and I think the story is good and very fitting.

This set will be Patreon only, it will never get released here. So if this appeals to you, (I hope it does) it is available to the $15 Patreon tier and above along with many other benefits. I have posted the set to patreon already along with the high quality mp4 and gif of the test animation that I made earlier with a much smaller watermark.

Here are four preview images of the clean versions of the images in this new Patreon set. I'm out for at least a few days now, this has drained me and I wasn't even planning to do it. Hopefully I can start work on the seventh set sometime later this week. I also have a few specific images that I need to make, I may work on those instead since there are only a handful. Constructive comments are always welcome and please keep voting in the polls on the right of the blog under the Patreon button.

Oh and set five will get released free in a few days, so check back for that.

Status Update:12/1/14

Hey again. The polls are going fairly well so far, with plenty of time for things to still change. The special poll is fairly bent towards the first option, but a handful of votes could completely change that. So keep voting and spread the word, anything can still happen.

The side project poll is going along nicely, but still needs input as well. This poll is not a simple win/lose poll; I am gauging the desire for these various types of side projects. Unless something literally gets zero votes, it is at least an idea on the table for future plans. So vote for your favorite(s) and tell your friends; more votes here means a higher likelihood of it happening.

On the other hand, the Patreon poll has no votes yet. This poll asks which of my girls do you want to see star in the seventh set? (4 named girls so far and one new option, preview of her on Patreon.) I will have to choose the winner if nobody signs up/votes, so if you want the seventh set to feature one of my girls specifically, this is your chance; one vote could decide it at this stage. I have also recently redone much of the Patreon page and edited numerous things to reflect my current plans. (Some edits still pending.) Any and all support would help expedite those plans and make my work better.

Oh and new subscribe/follow by email widgets on the right of the blog.

EDIT 12/2: So my new hardware arrived and is installed and working great. I can render in half the time now, which is really nice. I am fiddling around trying to get reality to work right but having issues. I will update this again if/when I can get that going. So apparently Reality 4 has a ton of release issues that don't look to be fixed anytime soon, so that will have to wait. Also I am part way through making a Patreon mini-set (maybe full set, we will see), it should be done in the next few days, so watch for previews of that.

Set six posted to Patreon and new special poll up!

Hey everyone, set six is done and up on Patreon right now! It features 24 images of the newly improved Lucia and a tentacle monster. Four preview images are below, and I think it is my best set so far from an image standpoint. (The story for set five was better, I feel.) Once again the set ended up being what I consider large, (20+ images) but this is probably for the best. There are both clean and comic versions of each image in the file on Patreon, to give you both options. (As always, the set is Patreon only for a month, then released free here.)

As promised, the new special poll is now up on the right under the side project poll. It asks which of the given options would you like to see in the seventh set. I will use whatever option wins the poll so choose carefully and spread the word about the polls! As previously mentioned there is the twin poll to this special one up on Patreon as well, asking what girl you want to see star in the seventh set. All my named girls are available choices as well as a new one that I haven't used yet. (Preview of her is on Patreon also, I think she is really nice. http://www.patreon.com/redleatherart)

If one person signs up for the appropriate tiers, ($5 and up this time, usually $15 and up) they could decide who stars in the seventh set. Obviously more votes/patrons would be preferable, but even one vote will prevent it from going to a random choice. (This is what I will most likely do if nobody signs up/votes.) Patrons of the $5 tiers and up also get access to the fifth and sixth sets right now, as well as other bonuses listed on Patreon.

Any constructive comments/support/votes go a long way in helping me make better images/comics. You can also follow my blog with the follow widget at the bottom right of the blog. As always please spread the word about my work and the special poll which will run until December 8th. I still need votes on the side project poll as well, which I consider more important than the special poll. Currently it seems people prefer the images/comics I currently do over anything else.

 Set six preview images below. (Clean versions.)

EDIT 11/26: Fixed one image in the archive and reuploaded the previews below. I also added two unused renders to the deluxe tier of Patreon.

EDIT 11/27: I just ordered some new hardware thanks to black friday pricing. I will post an update on how this works out next week probably. In other news, I still need votes in both polls. According to the last big poll, people wanted to see monsters more than anything else. I am giving you the option to pick one from the list right now and so far no progress has been made, which seems odd to me. The side project poll is also very important and hasn't gotten many votes. I can do most of those things fairly easily, but some would require me to refresh my python coding. What I try to do depends on what people vote for which so far is just image sets/comics.

EDIT 11/28: Got a few more odds and ends with the various black friday sales; they should help out in future sets. Keep voting in the polls please and spread the word about them. I will probably make a Patreon mini set or something in the meantime.

Set five posted to Patreon!

Hey everyone. It's a bit late but I stayed up to finish this tonight. This has been a messy last few days working on this, but that's what happens sometimes. Regardless, I finished the fifth set and posted the link on Patreon; it ended up being a massive 33 images. I want to emphasize that this is way over the 20 that I am for in a large set and is not normal; I just keep going overboard. If you want to see it before a month from now and help me make my images better and faster, check it out. The higher tiers on Patreon will also get to vote on fairly regular Patreon exclusive polls about things that go into my future sets. My Patreon is http://www.patreon.com/redleatherart and there is also a button on the right of the blog. The $5 Patreon tier and above get early access to any sets that I make in addition to other bonuses, check my Patreon page for details.

The set features Zayla as she won the previous special poll and also features Salune, a new character I made a while back. She was made to cater to the futanari crowd out there, which according to the current poll is substantial. Not necessarily my favorite thing, but if people want it, what can you do. Sorry about the delay on this, but if I had decent hardware at home to make this with stuff like that wouldn't happen. (And if it did I could fix it in hours instead of days...)

There is also a substantial chance that I made some minor errors in final construction of the fifth set, as I have been working for hours to get this done tonight and am really tired. I will check again as soon as I can and correct any issues that may be there. I also know I meant to talk about the big poll and post new ones, but that can wait until tomorrow. So I will post again then; in the meantime I hope you all like this new set. I think it came out really well and the the story part is hopefully good too. The story is more serious than the fourth set but still not quite up to the fairly serious level that people seemed to want from a previous poll. Quality is also improving as I get back into writing, and will only get better.

As before, the archive on Patreon features a clean folder and a comic folder. These preview images are from the clean version. Constructive comments are welcome, and as always spread the word about my blog if you like my work.

Fourth set fixed and Patreon update

Hi everyone. As noted in the post title, I redid the fourth set, and made it lighter. Apparently because I use an LED monitor, things that look fine to me are rather dark on older monitors. Sorry about that, but its all fixed now and the previews on the original post have been updated. There are also a total of 29 images in the set now (so three extra images!), as I could fix some things since I was re-rendering it all anyway. This will not affect the free release date, and the fixed and larger set is up on Patreon now. (Both comic version and a cleaner version.)

The polls seem to be going well, with the most important one at this time currently in no danger of a tie. (Though this can easily change, there is still the weekend left, and only 15 votes so far.) The clothing one is also somewhat decisive, (it seems people want what I was doing anyway) but the story one is split fairly evenly. Most people seem to want small story arcs or one large story arc. Either of these are fine (not exactly conflicting either), and realistically are for a bit farther down the road than I currently am now. However some more decisiveness would be helpful, if I could get some more votes in.

I have also added one mini-set to the middle tier (high tier gets it too) on Patreon, and I should have time to get another one (at least) in over the weekend. I will see what else I have time for, but I have been refining and upgrading my girls in the meantime. (Zayla has her nipple rings back, Lucia has claws, etc.) In any case here is one of the four images in the new mini-set featuring Lucia. I will update this post if I get any other Patreon stuff done over the weekend.

EDIT 10/26: Preview image added of second mini set up on Patreon, six images total.

Two new polls up! One is very special!

Hey again. I wanted to make a new post about these new polls, the one right under the Patreon link in particular. This is a preview of what I plan to do on Patreon for the middle and high tiers on a fairly regular basis. (Not necessarily every set, but probably every other one at least.) This is a poll where you get to help me decide what goes into my next image set! You can now vote on who gets to co-star in my next set with a new girl I have already made. I will use whatever girl wins the poll in the fifth set, so make sure to vote for your favorite. (If there is a tie I will break it.) This very special poll will only be up for ten days, so spread the word about it!

There is also a third poll under the clothing one, regarding plans for future stories. Would you guys prefer one long story arc, a few smaller ones, or many tiny ones? Let me know!

I am going to take the time while the poll is in progress and fill out the Patreon content, and post a few mini-sets up there, so go check that out too!

EDIT 10/18: I have also posted the early preview pic of the new girl for set 5 on Patreon. So any supporters will get a sneak peek of that. (Final design may be subject to to minor changes, but it may help you decide what to vote on for the poll?)

Fourth set finally up on Patreon!

Hey all, it has been a rough two weeks finishing this set. I initially took this on as a favor to a friend, who wanted to see a pregnant blonde get banged by two black guys. He also insisted that the blonde not be an elf for some reason; so I made one of the guys a half-elf, just because. I planned for this to be around ten images, a standard small set but it quickly got out of hand and became a whopping 26 images.

This was made worse by my wanting to test out a story on this set, which was... interesting. Please note that this story is the first I have done in a while and basically a retrofit, as I had the set half done before the story was made. (So cut me some slack.) It is also not representative of medium seriousness as far as story goes (this is low-minimal), as that poll was also done a bit over halfway into the set. Hopefully the story bits are at least decent to you guys, I think they are or I wouldn't have released it. As always constructive comments are welcome.

I think the images turned out well, and I am improving with each set that I do. I also tried to use an indoor scene for this set, which was kind of a mess. This is probably why most 3d artists use outdoor scenes. Either way I have posted not one, not two, not even three, but FOUR preview images for all of you! This is mostly because the set is huge, and also because I had trouble deciding which images to use. Note that the preview images are the clean versions. If you want to see the whole set and the story before next month, as well as support my future work, my Patreon link is on the right.
 
I am also putting up that special poll I talked about, but I will make a new post about that because I don't think most people will read this far down. 0_0

Third set up on Patreon

Hey again. My third set is done and is currently up on Patreon. (http://www.patreon.com/redleatherart.) I am very happy with how it turned out, and I like it very much. It features my mascot Zayla the Dark Elf and her new friend Lucia the curious Catgirl. Here are two preview images from the 17 image set.




It will be posted here in about a month, but it is on Patreon in the meantime along with some unused renders from this new set and the last one. There is also a small wallpaper mini set on Patreon as well as a VERY early preview of the girl I plan to use for my fourth set. Make sure to see which tiers get which rewards, as most of these things are only for the higher tiers. (Current sets and previews are for everyone; bonus stuff is higher tiers.) Any and all support is appreciated and will go a long way in terms of supporting my work and helping it get better.

This will be all for this month as far as full sets go, I may do another wallpaper mini set or something; but I will not get to the fourth set in earnest until next month. This is mainly due to work and also to me going on vacation on the 28th for a week, and I will be unable to work or access the internet during that time. (Going on a cruise.) I should be back on October 5, and will be able to start work on the fourth set sometime after that, depending on other factors.

EDIT: Knowing me, I may just end up doing it early anyway, we will see how much time I have. However, do not expect the fourth set until next month; I've already done three sets this month which is over my goal as it is.

If you like my work please spread the word. As always constructive comments are welcome; spam and troll comments will be deleted.

Patreon Page Now Available

In other news, my Patreon page is up and linked to on the right of the blog. My current plan is to release most of my sets for free, but from now on they will release on Patreon first and then be put on this blog after about a month. If you want early access to them, the lowest tier on my Patreon is only $5 a month. There are also Patreon exclusive rewards on the higher tiers, including future Patreon exclusive sets that will NOT be posted here. If you enjoy my work, spread the word about me and please consider supporting me on Patreon.

The more support I get, the more image sets I can make and the better they will be. I could even do this for a living if I get enough support from all of you. The two higher tiers also get access to occasional polls/discussions about what to include in my future sets, so you can help me decide what to make. If I end up liking this project but get no real support this way, I may have to change over to the standard sale model for my future image sets. I do not want to work that way, which is why I went with Patreon first; but this cannot work without your support.

I also put up a poll up on the right, relating to my desire to branch into comics, to give my images a story. My next set should be ready in about two weeks, and will be on Patreon first, as mentioned above. (Previews will be posted here.)
