Since Net Neutrality hasn't been repealed yet, you still get the full image for now. This is the original render created for my Net Neutrality poster:

This is a quick preview of how my drawn art, renders and animations are going to appear on your computer from now on. That is if the FCC gets its way and Net Neutrality protections are repealed.
Don't like how that looks like? Me neither! So act before it's too late: Call congress urgently and demand that they keep Net Neutrality Title II protections!

In this year's issue of PONR, the vixen continues her journey toward... well I don't really know toward what; She doesn't tell me what she does, despite me being trapped in her belly for half a decade now? In any case, she seems to be digging one of the cities I designed for Xonotic years ago... which you can find at the link below if you're interested. What can I say: I hope she makes good use of it as a base for whatever she's doing!
I started this little series long before my Patreon. As such I never got to post it here as well. These are pages 1 to 4, which I developed over the course of the last 5 years.
"Point of no return" is a funny drawn series I began at the mentioned date; It started with me making a drawing of my red vixen character having eaten me... next year I decided to make a part two of this drawing, and from then on I made it a tradition to make a new page every year.
2017-11-21 16:25:15 +0000 UTC View PostI am going to be honest: I have been dealing with a lot of stress and depression over Patreon lately, which has only added to turmoil already caused by other issues. Not only is my PayPal account due to become restricted in 3 weeks unless the staff verifies my information, which doesn't happen because they mysteriously disappear into a black hole whenever they try to look at it; I have in a matter of weeks lost $150, and am now down to less than $300 per month. Yes... I'm literally at 3 quarters...

I'm announcing upcoming sneak peaks and exclusives of my latest vorish Blender project, Brief Escape! It is a rendered image series, and will consist of roughly 32 pages in total (possibly more depending on how many renders the series fits under).
This is my most ambitious render to date in terms of quality and photorealism. It will feature the vixen seen in my drawn art, using the model present in the anthro character pack which I recently published on Blendswap. Also me... in 3D... take a wi...

My animation for 2017! Blue vixen returns, doing what she does best since the day I got my hands on Blender. Looks like she enjoyed a trip to my local mall... though it wasn't only to buy stuff from the looks of it. Maybe she went to the local fast food, in which case it was ...
2017-10-17 21:49:12 +0000 UTC View PostFirstly the most relevant subject: There may be a minor setback on the upcoming animation, due to an unknown bug in Blender which I seem to have encountered. In essence, most frames render just fine and take somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes to produce, however a few specific frames cause Blender to freeze internally. For some reason I cannot understand, Blender does thankfully recover from the crash and resumes rendering the frames in cause... however this can take several hours in between til...
2017-10-04 15:02:43 +0000 UTC View PostA heads up: I've began rendering my next animation today. Can't believe how long this one took me to finish, and even now I'm not perfectly happy with it... however it will be my best short camera track to this day.
Expect to see it up around the end of October or the beginning of November, roughly a month from now. Such is life when you have to use your CPU for raytrace rendering... I only reach an average of 5 minutes per frame and have roughly 1500 frames to render.
In other news, I m...

September 2017 brings numerous changes and bug fixes to the projects Vore Tournament and Voragotchi. Vore Tournament sees half of the issues for the 2.0.1 target resolved, whereas Voragotchi implements new gameplay functionality as well as engine improvements. Here is the progress made so far on each project:

2017-08-05 14:09:43 +0000 UTC View PostAs I explained in a recent journal, my Patreon was greatly affected by the sudden departure of an important supporter. This has left me under my targets once more, and in desperate need of new patrons. Meanwhile I'm going to be away for two weeks this month, and won't be able to work on some projects from my laptop and 3G connection. Considering all this, I did some thinking and decided on a future strategy for attracting new patrons, part of the direction my Patreon will be taking from this poi...

I could barely reply to all of the feedback and questions you guys had, which even now continue to flow. Thank you all for showing so much interest in this project! It really helps to know that it was a success.
Unfortunately a lot of comments also included bug reports. There are quite a few problems I had missed that other players noticed... nothing too bad or game-breaking, but they are still issues that will need to be dealt with. ...

As a last minute modification to be included in the release, I decided to make a properly branded loading screen. Based on the Xonotic loading screen but with the classic Vore Tournament logo instead, I think this will do nicely until I make a proper set of loading screens later on (potentially a target for 2.1.0).

Thought I'd share a little snapshot of me making the release video for VT. Being on Linux, I use OpenShot as my video editor, which is a nice FOSS alternative to the likes of Windows Movie Maker. This is actually my first time working more in depth with the program, but it's easy to get a hang of it especially having previous experience from the old days of messing around in WMM :)
2017-07-05 18:38:15 +0000 UTC View PostSince I thought people might be interested in an update on the Vore Tournament release, I thought I'd offer one while I'm at it.
I've been spending the last few days working on a release video for VT. It's almost done and hopefully going to be pretty fun once it's ready! Expect to see it on my Youtube channel soon after the release is published. Afterward there will hopefully be another video, highlighting the important changes and features of VT 2.0.0.
I've also posted a few last minute...

I'm still taking the first 1 - 2 weeks to do the final tests and preparations; Unfortunately this was (and still is) made hard by breakages introduced in recent video drivers, which make it impossible to run Xonotic / VT for more than a few minutes before my OS freezes and I have to p...
2017-07-01 18:15:58 +0000 UTC View PostFirst of all, wow... you are all amazing: After my previous post, I went from $350 to $500 in only 3 days! A few of the big pledges are temporary mind you, so I might be going back a bit within the coming months... never the less I am truly grateful for this.
Onto the important news: Granted none of my patrons decide to pull out at the last moment before the 1st, which I sincerely hope is not a thing anyone would have in mind at this point, I see no way for the target to have not been reached....

As we enter the last week of June, I once again call upon fans of VT for their help: The $400 Patreon goal is only $50 away from being met. If 5 people were to pledge $10 each, Vore Tournament 2.0.0 Alpha could be released next month! Help make this happen: Support the project if you can, and spread the word to friends or communities whom you believe would enjoy the game! My existence and thus my ability to continue its development relies on reaching this target. Think you can chip in?

2017-06-03 22:38:21 +0000 UTC View PostYeah... it seems the Vore Tournament release won't be happening this month. The target didn't pass by a long shot: I have less than 350$ out of $400 apparently, now that the payment info checks have revealed the real numbers. Granted no other patrons pull out, I'm about 50$ short.
In consequence, I'll be retrying for a release next month. To be fair this is sort of a relief: I still haven't figured out the solution to hosting, nor had any volunteers for that multiplayer testing event... theref...
2017-06-03 11:48:39 +0000 UTC View PostUnfortunately I have to bring a bit of sad news after the good news today: The 2.0.0 release might be getting delayed by another month apparently.
One of my biggest patrons had to pull out their support for the time being. As such, the $400 goal is no longer reached, and I'm currently some $30 under my target once more. Unless someone is willing to fill the gap within the next week, I might have to delay working on the release for at least another month.

With the 2.0.0 Alpha release of Vore Tournament almost guaranteed to happen next month, I've already started making preparations. As stated in my announcement, one of the things I want to do first is holding a multiplayer testing session; All testing I've done thus far has been local with bots, and I haven't once seen how the new VT handles itself online... mostly due to the fact that I work on the project alone and don't have a test team handy. It's desired to verify the functionality of multip...
