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)

Fourth set free release!

Hey everyone. It's two days early but here is the fourth set's free release. I am very interested in comments for this set and the fifth one. I know the "story" for this set is on the light side as far as words/content go, but this was my first attempt at implementing a story. The set was also done at the request of a friend, so the story had to be retrofitted in. It wasn't even supposed to have a story but I wanted to try implementing a story into this one so that I would know better for the next, better story. (I think the fifth set is much, much better from a story standpoint; check the previews below for clean image previews or Patreon for the full set.)

I am also posting a sort of new poll to help get feedback on this set as it is the first set with text implemented. The poll just asks how you feel about the implementation of the story into this set. It is very similar to an old poll about how I should have implemented stories into my sets, but this time there is something to judge your previous choice with. I have already done the fifth set in this style, but we will see what you all think of this first attempt.

Please vote in the polls, they help me a lot and give you all a way to influence my work. Real comments would also be helpful as long as they are constructive.

I am not going to post the entire set to imagevenue this time as it is over 30 images, but here are the four preview images from before. The archive below contains a clean images folder as well as the comic folder.

As always if you like my work please spread the word, or even better; support me on Patreon. Patrons get early access to my sets (the fifth set is up there right now!) and the higher tiers get other stuff as well. Examples include: Patreon exclusive image sets and much more frequent special polls that directly affect some part of an upcoming set. Any support would also help my art get better, faster as it would allow me to get decent hardware to render things with and newer/better software to make better images with. My Patreon is http://www.patreon.com/redleatherart and there is also a button on the right of the blog.

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
