Hi again!
I'm not gonna shut down the patreon after all and instead will start actively working on coming back.
I swear, the talk about shutting down was not a desparate attempt for attention :X
In the comments of my last post, "heals" pointed out a change in the Patreon fees that I was unaware of until then. If I shut down my Patreon and relaunch it in the future, Patreon would take an 8% fee instead of the 5% it's charging me now.
So I t...
Hello!
I'll keep this brief because writing a large post was the main reason I've been putting it off for longer than I should have.
I'm shutting down this Patreon on Nov. 8th. This does not mean I'm quitting for good - I'm still on a stupidly long break and am pretty sure I'll make more smut some time. Make jokes if you have to, I know they're justified :D
You can follow me on Twitter @ellowas to be notified when I return. A pinned tweet on my...
edit2:
All previously "pending" pledges have been refunded as well, meaning that now there should be nobody left who got charged.
edit1:
I've now refunded everyone who pledged so far! If any of the pending ones pledge for some reason they'll be refunded as well.
If your refund didn't go through, let me know!

I'm sure you noticed the lack of updates and content in the past months. I can't tell you what's going on because I'm not sure of it myself. I want to make more smut, but I also kinda don't.
You guys have been bearing with me for long enough, so I am going to shut down the Patreon temporarily. I do want to come back, but it doesn't make sense to have it up while I'm not doing anything.
I'm also refunding everybody who asks for it. Just drop a ...

Pretty much done with the modeling work, I think.
Here's an album with all the versions, including a render of the original triangulated model with the original textures. You can compare that one with the clothed version to get an idea of why I bother spending so much time editing and cleaning up these models.
I noticed that the jaw line is much sharper on the original. I think this is something I need to adjust on my ve...

I think I’m finished with the lewd model of Mercy’s Pink skin. It took me a few iterations and I started over at one point, but I think this works fine.
I still have to update the clothed version with some of my changes and then rig the whole thing.
The biggest problem was the transparent part. I wanted it to have thickness, in case I ever wanted to move it to the side. But this meant the skin h...
2018-05-15 20:21:12 +0000 UTC View PostHey!
you’ve seen this animation before, but with Mercy instead of Symmetra. It’s the same with this animation as it was with the original one: four angles and a mix, featuring all angles.
Sorry for the long dry spell and thanks a lot to you guys for sticking around! I'll work on something new next.
Enjoy!

It's just there to inform you that last month's link is now not working anymore and to provide this month's link to the watermark-free releases.
Hey,
done with the lighting! Had to start over after realizing that my backgrounds were going to cause a problem, so I had to look for a different location.
Before settling on the new spot, I tried getting the actual map into Maya ... turns out it's not possible anymore, since the Maya importer is outdated and the only working importer, which is for Blender, doesn't allow to export the map back out with the materials still intact :| Will have to see how to work around that.
Gotta do s...

Nothing really special, but I thought you guys might like seeing this regardless.
I've made a panoramic screenshot of the area and converted it into a pseudo HDR image, which I'm going to use for both reflections, as well as ambient lighting.
While I was busy with some stuff, I let a 720p render run to see if there's any funky stuff going on with the shaders ... I never rendered...

2018-04-02 18:45:34 +0000 UTC View PostHey,
with the lack of updates and since this is a small preview, I figured I'd make this available to all Patrons.
As I said in my last post, I'll be focusing on a few remixes for a bit, starting with this one.
I actually posted 2018-03-30 23:18:07 +0000 UTC View Post
tl;dr: Had a lazy month. If you want a refund, message me or comment here, no questions asked!
Hey!
Sorry for the radio silence and the lack of updates in the past months, but it seems like I'm going through a slump right now. I think it's just a lack of motivation paired with being busy with life stuff ... it'll pass, I'm sure! The weird thing is, I kinda want to work on some things, but whenever I launch Maya and stare at a scene, I just go "ugh".
Anyway, feel free ...
PS: I'll make a "General Progress" post on my Tumblr, which covers most of the stuff below. And since it's all already covered in this post, I won't make a separate "General Progress" post on Patreon.

Hey!
It's been a really long time since the last poll and since I abandoned the last animation I was working on, this is a great opportunity to ask you guys what to focus on next.
You can select more than one option. Just pick all the things you're interested in!

Hey!
Added fur to the heart pillows ... don't think I'll go with balloons after all.
Remodeled the Pachimari as well and started sculpting in some wrinkles on the sheet. Still want to experiment with some random sheets here and there, but other than that the modeling is pretty much done.
I should be able to start with lighting tomorrow. With proper lighting the scene should look much better! Currently a lot of shapes and material-detail are simply being lost with the placeholder...

Hey!
Worked on props, materials and composition today. Also changed her stockings a bit.
These hearts used to be pillows but I didn't get the look quite right and am leaning towards turning them into balloons (maybe with some of her decals printed on them). Still playing around with that.
I'll also wrinkle the sheets and maybe add some loose sheets somewhere, we'll see.
The lighting is just a placeholder for now to get an idea for how the materials look.
Hey!
Worked on the pose some more and started modeling some of the props. Those large pillows still need work :X The hearts and pachimaris are placeholders for now. I'll also add some sheets somewhere.

Hey,
I think this skin lends itself well to a wallpaper!
Been fiddling with a couple of poses and I think I'll be going with this one. The idea is she'll be lying in a bed with sheets and pillows that match the materials of her dress. Also need to throw in a Pachimari for good measure :D
Still working on the pose. Not quite happy with it yet. Especially her right arm does...

Hey!
Been slacking off with progress updates again, so here's a quick recap:
Hey!
Blizzard dumped a cosmetic update for Overwatch on us, which brought a bunch of neat skins ... especially the one for DVa caught my attention :D
So I've been working on getting that ready. I'm finished with the model and materials. Gotta rig it next. I'm not sure what I'll use her for yet ... feel free to make suggestions =)

Finished my script and going back to producing smut. Expect updates to that BJ animation I was working on.
I'm also stopping to give refunds now unless there's a reason.
Thanks for your patience and support! =)

Hey!
Despite what I said in the last update, I continued working on my script for importing WoW assets into Maya. I've made some great progress on that and it'll be finished soon, but I didn't get to work on any smut this month.
I know a lot of people will be disappointed to hear that, so I'm offering to refund your pledge! Please feel free to take me up on that, no hard feel...
