Seasonal Updates

-- 10/13 --

Sombra pt.1 is making progress.

I am going to release a loop next week, this will not include the other 2 shots that link PT1 to the intro. Those shots will come after the loop is released. The shot I made loop is what the community voted for I just can't work story into that usually, so the other two shots are not dialed in yet. The loop is finished and frames are crunching, currently about 1/3 of the way through the 300+ frames.

A Character Poll is active

Please don't forget to vote, I appreciate it when you do, it helps me understand the demand that I need to meet.

A Detail Poll will open soon

We haven't had one in a while but because there will be a new character we are going to have to get an animatic down. If that character turns out to have no lore tied to them we can keep it short, maybe no story at all even and just make lewdness, We will see who wins and then see what is appropriate. 

Mercy animation will start at the end of October

Bordeaux will be getting sound back to me toward the end of the month, I will cut it together and start that piece by that time, hoping to have something concise and sexy out to you guys before Thanksgiving.

I'm leaving my job

I don't have stuff figured out yet, I might throw 100% of my time into Patreon, I might have to get a new job or even change industries. All I know is I am leaving the one I have now because it's demanding lots of overtime with the staffing shortage, it's toxic, and there's a lot of stupid shit happening in the world. All of that deteriorates what we do here on Patreon and my mindset as an artist so my soul needs a break from having 2 jobs. I need a few more paychecks to be ok, January 1st is do or die on that matter.  

A Poll is opening on Monday

I have completely altered things, so please stay sharp and pay attention to what is up for the win on the ballot.

Sombra pt.1 is making progress.

I don't have much else to share on that matter, its moving along, I do not have an ETA just yet but I can say that it's long. I haven't done math but its possible we will have almost an entire minute of Sombra animation (intro + pt. 1) by the close of the month. That's a crazy amount of output for 1 person at this quality.

I'm getting VO finished on Widowmaker and Mercy

I reached out to Bordeaux Black and steps are being made to get those resources together so that it's just animation left. I made subtle changes to the animatic of Widowmaker, its purely for story, all shots are still identical and it's got more kink.

Brigitte VR

This is taking a really long time to render. That animation is over 1000 frames and VR frames are nearly an hour a piece. I will let this go a few more days and audit the display quality, if it holds up, I think we should wait and let it finish. If it's fuzzy or jitters too much- I have to alter the scene to match the Dva VR scene. Waiting any longer for a single frame is just not an option.

Sombra Intro will be released tonight

I know its been a long while, I have been waiting for these frames to crunch and fixing things to keep the quality up, as always. I hope you enjoy what comes out, I appreciate your patience.

Sombra Part 1 Animation is almost complete

I exported some gifs and included those in this post, I did not include audio or render frames because I need the intro to finish before I can accurately release anything like that. I will fix more things, it is stiff right now, but I aim to have all 3 shots of part 1 rendering by Friday. 

Brig Goat VR - January POV

I am rendering this too. I have had a lot of requests for more of that content, and the scene is mostly set up. I have avoided this scene specifically due to the GPU shortage and the resolution demanded for VR. I can't promise any specs right now, only that it is progress, and as I promised, I intend to have 4 finished VR animations by the close of 2021.

A Poll is coming up

It's been a long time since we have had one of these, 2021 has been a mess and I made changes on top of that for content. I am happy to say that we will have another poll in the near future to decide what comes after Sombra part 1 and the next Mercy animation.

I said previously that I intend to block Overwatch from winning because I need something fresh. I still intend to honor that and removing the patron funding goals. If you guys are willing to be patient and continue pledging for top quality like you have been doing then it doesn't make sense for me to limit that. If it takes extra time to get things set up for other IPs then I presume people will be ok with that.

I Moved

That ordeal is over now and I am operational. things will be progressing as they were now, thank you for hanging in there.

Sombra Update

A WIP with sound can be found here in Mega 

The Intro animation is done, I could fix things on this for another week, or another month, but it has to get out there. I am going to begin working on the lewd shot that comes after this while the Intro renders.

Sombra Update

As you can tell the animation is coming along, but I am not finished. Improving is hard, character interaction is hard, I can't make excuses for that or find any shortcuts, and quality matters to me so I need to take time to improve. If I don't take the time to improve, I never will. So... guess what that means for me?

no pay day. 

Paused Billing - September is Free

I have been working hard and I think that work is valuable but it doesn't change the fact that I have some personal stuff I have to address. I will be without power the last week of August and possibly the first week of September as I move to the other side of my country. I have put this off as long as a I can, but It's that time of year, I have to move.

So that means production will pause and I don't want to charge anyone for that, as I see it, it's wrong.

Artist's choice for September is cancelled

What can I say? It's the communities content that comes first. I need to finish Sombra.

Poll update

I checked with patrons last week and asked what you think is best regarding Overwatch animations right now. An overwhelming majority of responses indicate that you want to continue, and so we shall.

I am going to make more changes to my content structure though, because this kind of thing could and likely will happen again. So I am going to open the doors for other IP's. We need to get fresh content in here.

No more goals

I am going to remove the goal based voting tiers. I need this. It's preventing me from growing like I need to and Overwatch is all I have made. I like Overwatch a lot too, I just want more.

The next time I open voting, you can chose Final Fantasy, you can chose Disney, chose whatever you want. I don't care. But I am going to lock Overwatch from winning, I need a break for my sanity.

I don't know when the next poll will be, but I will update you when Sombra is closer to completion.

--- Initial post ---

Sombra

I am trying hard to improve my animation skills. It does not come easy, or fast, but I am really trying. there are a few techniques I want to cement as well as some rig changes that I have made to accommodate improvement.

With that said, the animation is in its early days, and I hope to have a WIP for the intro by the 15th, ready to send to render. The intro is over 20 seconds, maybe more or less, I am still working out the timing on the performance as I review.

Immediately after I am going to start on scene 1 for Sombra. When everything releases you will get the intro and the 1st shot, made together. So there should be something for everybody, a little character animation, a little lewdness, and a lot of fun all around. 

Mercy

I am going to begin reaching out to Bordeaux very shortly to see If I can't get her lovely voice for both Mercy and Widowmaker animations at the same time. I'll keep you posted on that as things happen. 

September

I am looking forward to September. I have to move and that should be over by that time. But also because I will have a chance to work on something that is not Overwatch. As most of you know, I have made a lot of that IP over the last 19+ Months. So something different sounds great to me! I think I am going to do Avatar, I'm in the mood for it, I'll confirm that with you as I know more.

VR Streaming

I quietly updated the Dva 4k VR post for patrons to include a link to the streaming website VRporn. I have a creator page there that lets users with goggles view content without having to download it, and I don't have to worry about accommodating traffic and hosting obstacles. I will eventually put VR posts out there on that site for all to enjoy, but it will follow the same rule of thumb the rest of the content here follows. Watermarked and lower resolution becomes free after Patrons have had exclusivity first.
