Jax's Toy (HD)

Here's a picture I made for Forth on FA who commissioned this a little bit ago. Hope he enjoys being a butt plug~

Just broke 50 Patrons! :D (raffle~)

This is fantastic! :D I'm super pleased and excited about this and I want to thank each and every single one of you for being here. As a token of my appreciation, I'd like to offer each of you a chance to join a raffle held only to you! I'll be drawing 5 winners for this one! :D

Work/Work/MFF

 My new position is rather unrelenting right now and it's partially by  choice. The need to catch up on my bills along with the transition  temporarily allowing employees to pick up overtime has me picking up  shifts to do just that. This week isn't too bad at 42.5 hours. But next  week? Oh goodness. 64.5 hours. I might have bit off a bit much there.  And yet I'm insisting on picking up more hours on Thanksgiving day even  though I already work 10 hours because...

Unexpected Nomphs (HD)

 Jax was waving his booty in the air hoping for a good butt licking but  he got a bit more than that! Wonder if he will like where he's going~
 

The original sketch was done by the very talented  azathura featuring the lake monster, Jess, and he gave me permission to line and color this great piece. Thank you!

Safety In a Dragon (HD)

 Zyyph has been through some rough times lately with wildfires and stuff.  Working hard at school and keeping up with his artwork and his fans. I  may not get to talk to him as often as I'd like but that doesn't mean  he's any less precious to me. He's been a good friend. I wish I could do  more for him but I thought this was at least something.
 

Took me about a week to draw. Many many sketches and layers and mistakes  and frustration and everything in b...

Raffle

Just informing all of ya that as a show of appreciation, I'm holding a raffle for an art related prize. Could be a drawing or a 3D bust or something else. As patrons, you're all automatically included with one entry. If you'd like an additional chance, feel free to reply to the journal I just posted on FA. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8465245/

Good luck and thank you so much for all of your support t...

Varro's Trident

I wanted to share with you guys something a little less furry and a little more metallic. I've been working on this on and off for the last month or so, fitting it in between doing animation for the VR game and work. Glad to have it finally finished ^^

Enjoy looking at it yourself on sketchfab: https://skfb.ly/69GEU

VR Vore tease!

I know it's been awhile since I've shown real progress on this but there simply wasn't much to show... until now! This is a rough draft of the oral vore you'll be witnessing in game. Again, there will also be anal vore as well. AND I think I have figured out how to make the player vore scenes happen ;3 One thing at a time though!

Update on things, plus a trident

So, I had mentioned before in my last post that my current employer was bought out by a competitor. So what really sucks is that while I'm working full time at one job, I'm filling in the days off I have with training days for the new job so I can be ready to work when the store is flipped on Oct. 12th. So, for the next two weeks I only have Tuesdays off. Best part is that I don't get overtime... since it's for two different employers. Regardless, the paycheck should be nice. But that also means...

90 Day Plan

So, my new job has a 90 day orientation period which will start in October I believe (unsure if training counts). During that 90 day period, I'll be working part-time (appox. 28 hours per week) which will be far less than what I've been working. After that orientation period, I'll have to make a choice. To change to full time and make money, pay my bills and have spare cash for once, or "work" for you guys full time. 

In order for the latter choice to even be a choice, I need i...

List of planned content

The following is a list of things I have planned as well as projected completion time.

- Finish prepping my Jax model for animation (up to a week)

- Animate vore animations with Aerys for the VR game (a few days)

- Make animations for first person vore scenes for the VR game (a few days)

- Animate a music video I've got planned. (1 to 2 weeks)

- Unknown on next project. Have ideas though.

Finally got Internet!

Still have a fair bit of unpacking to do... I got too much crap. Maybe I should get rid of all this junk I've had since high school? Lol

In either case, I have internet again, and it's pretty good! I'll be able to stream as I work on projects and the like. I'm afraid that as I transition into this new apartment with unpacking and work that my progress will be a little slower than previous months. But I'll try and make it worth it! :D

What is on the checklist?
- Finish rigging my...

Will be moving!

Physically, that is. I'll be moving to a new apartment on the first and so I've been packing and will take a bit to get my things set up. Please be patient!

Thank you ~

Learning Figure drawing

 Gonna do a stream. It won't be very exciting :P I'll be going through a  pdf tutorial of figure drawing. While at the same time I'll be learning  Paint Tool Sai. So... anyone with knowledge on that would be great to  have in the stream.

What do you want to see?

 So I have started working full time at some pretty not fun hours (4am to noon) and my energy has been sucked out of me. So, I'd like to know what you guys think I should focus my limited time on and such. There are a few things that I have had on my mind as far as possible projects and my problem is that I want to do all of them so I end up doing very little with each of them.

So, below, vote on the things that you'd like to see from me.

You only get one vote!

Thank y...

$10 Sketch Commissions

 Come join me at 3pm CST for some drawing! Got a couple bills sneaking up on me. Student loans are coming to bite me ;-;
 

So I'll be streaming and it'll be a first come first serve for $10  sketches. Granted, I'll warn everyone ahead of time that I'm not really  that good of a 2D artist. So... just a heads up. The drawings will be  sketches at the least. If I think it's okay, I'll throw some simple  color on it maybe.
 

Thank you!
 

Special Thanks~

I wanted to give each one of you a special thank you for supporting me in my early stages as an artist. It means the world to me that you find my work worth investing in and I hope I can return the appreciation with solid content.

Thank you all~

I hope in the near future, I can start posting more content that isn't just a work in progress. My current venture will be in developing my drawing skills so if any of you have any ideas, feel free to comment below. I just might draw your chara...

Lost Alice

Here's another motion capture thing I did for my final. Had to string together a number of motion capture files, such as walk, run, jump, turns, etc; into a seamless animation. I didn't modify the animation after bringing it into Maya, so yes, the hands are basically paddles. Enjoy~

A little preoccupied

Got a lot of things going on that's keeping me a bit tied up. Between interviews with a game developer and trying to solidify my housing situation, I've been fraying at the ends. I have new ideas that I hope is well received as soon as I get around to actually implementing them. Thank you for being patient with me.

Fur in Unreal Engine 4

Testing out some fur in UE4 and got a pretty decent result. Once I get an animated character in, I'll be trying this again.

Fur Dynamics Testing

Just giving this a test. Not perfect but trying out some things.

Zyphyrus Bust HD (raffle winner)

Finally got this done and SO happy with the results. Everyday I'm learning more about how to render and make textures. I really hope they enjoy~

Jax vs killer croc

Dabbling in Motion capture! 

Jax Booty (HD)

Been working on making my character, Jax, for quite some time. Started with a sculpt in Zbrush and I'm not currently prepping him for animation. However, I decided to take a break from that preparation and posed him for some booty action. I'm super pleased with these results and I can only imagine that as I learn these tools that my future work will become better. 

Jax rigging

Well, it's been a pain so far but I'm super pleased with my results so far. This picture is merely a tease of course but I have MANY plans after I get him ready for animation~

Jax (mid rigging)

Well, if you didn't know, I had made a model of my main character, Jax. I absolutely love him and now I'm finally learning how to do rigging in class. So of course I'm going to rig Jax so I can make him move :D This is really really exciting for me ^^

Alius Bust

What do you think?! :D

Mk14 EBR rifle

I've done this awhile ago but I never had a chance to upload it anywhere. You may recognize it as the rifle that Rat is holding in the monument render. It was a lot of work, no doubt. Lots of holes to make. For those who don't know, making holes in 3D mesh can be tedious.

Epic Climb

Approximately 80 hours to render 485 frames. Put this together in 3 days. Made the building day 1. Made the rough animation day 2. Refined the animation, animated the camera, set up the lighting, set up the glass fracturing simulation, and set up the render farm for 17 computers on day 3.

P.S. Day 3 was a long day.
