August 2023 Rewards Pack (Single Shot Tier)
Thanks again for another wonderful month!

SR4 was fun in an Infamous/Gravity Rush/Crackdown way where exploring the city looking for clusters using those traversal super powers was rewarding, and it had some great segments (like the 1950s part) but overall it really did feel like an expansion pack due to its origins as DLC. I'm hoping there's a Red Faction collection released someday, but with their closure, I'm not holding out hope XD

2023-09-04 19:28:14 +0000 UTCI had fun with 4 but I won’t lie that it was clearly originally planned as the “Enter the Dominatrix” DLC that had the the giant flow can and superpowers. Same, as soon as they stated that the saints are formed due to student loan debt as the motivation, while funny in concept doesn’t work properly as proper motivation. Gave off “how’s it going fellow youths” vibes tbh, lol. 30 years does put things into perspective, especially when saints row started in 2006- that’s 13 years after they established Volition. I was 16 when SR3 came out and it was a great addition to my ps3 library, I’d gotten every dlc pack(s) including the crappy vampire pack. 🤣

2023-09-03 23:02:39 +0000 UTCYeah, SR3 was really the pinnacle of the series. It felt very distinct from the goofy tone to the purple theming giving it a brand identity to make it stand apart. SRIV and Gat out of Hell were DLC expanded into bigger games, and it showed, because they felt like SR3 add-ons and didn't do a lot to further it besides super powers. To me, SR2022 felt like they took all the charm out of it. They even changed the city and got rid of the beloved cast. If it weren't called SR, I doubt it would've been seen as more than, well... a GTA clone lol, and yeah, Volition's team felt very snide towards fans of the prior games, and they catered to a generation of gamers that didn't grow up with the games, so it was kind of a cutting your nose to spite your face situation. And now they're gone. Sigh. At least we got a remaster of SR3 before they left. Too bad Red Faction 1 & 2 didn't get the same treatment. Sadly, I'm honestly surprised Volition lasted this long. SR3 was their last big hit game, and that was 12 years ago on the PS3/360. Everything else they've made since has been either just okay, or an outright flop. It's kind of a miracle they survived so long :S

2023-09-03 22:49:42 +0000 UTCIt was the goofy, exaggerated tone that made me get SR3. I liked how it had its own style and embraced absurdity. I had played the second game a few times before but lost interest with it primarily because of the respect lvl keeping you locked out of the story. Plus I love the character creation design in 3, and dressing up my female boss in casual and stylish clothes, got the remaster too as soon as it came out! Lol However I too was disappointed with how the series ended. It’s not inherently a bad direction to have taken the series but antagonizing the customers who have been loyal wasn’t the way to go. (RIP) indeed, but at least we can remember a replay the good stuff they made, the legacy can still be positive in some way.

2023-09-03 22:38:45 +0000 UTCSame, tbh! It was when the series carved out its own identity from being a GTA-clone. Fans of 1 & 2 were mad about the goofier direction, so they were happy when SR2022 went back to that earlier style... and the game ended up killing Volition (RIP) :(

2023-09-03 22:30:15 +0000 UTCSame here, it was my first Saints game and I love it the most!

2023-09-03 22:11:24 +0000 UTCAh I love me some SR3!

2023-09-03 22:10:24 +0000 UTCExactly, a very nice cherry on top every month! ‘Looking’ forward to seeing that. :B I think the Fondling piece would be beautiful, especially with the colors and lighting you use. I can understand and respect that, perhaps a suggestion I could give you on a nun outfit would be the Bloody Canoness from Saints Row The Third.

2023-09-03 21:46:06 +0000 UTCI'm glad you liked the sketches! I always delight in seeing reactions to my sketches in these rewards packs. Often people feel like they're highlights, because they get to see various ideas I play around with, and a lot of them are tantalizing XD The Giraffe's Eye View was actually finished as a full colour piece, which I'll upload this month or next. I really like the Fondling sketch so I might work that into a finished piece at some point too. I do need to do a Halloween picture. I'll keep Nunshade in mind. She's still a WIP because I'm not satisfied with her outfit just yet :3

2023-09-03 21:36:19 +0000 UTCI really like this sketch set, the giraffe eye view is a really cool perspective piece. The Night and old fellow horse is really sweet, there’s just something so admirable about Night giving love and attention towards older characters. Then following up one horse with another being the fondling a stacked Night, I especially love how you drew her breasts. It looks like their weight and dimension to them that’s just satisfying to the eye. The triple v is incredible intense as always, with Nunshade being a tantalizing finale. I think a Londoners Halloween comic special would be a fun thing to see after the nunshade. In conclusion, this sketch set was really fun to see another enjoyable experience once again, thank you Kad.
