Version 1.4.0, "The Julie Update," Released!

Phew! Fuckin' FINALLY.

I'd like to thank you all for being so patient with me! I got tired of promising this update was coming out "soon" so I just shut up and knuckled down. I've been working on this update on-and-off all day, every day this month, and at last, it is here.

You'll find the download on Itch: https://flinpaltwell.itch.io/love-lust-and-rock-n-roll

Motherfucking Nighttime

I wanted to give you all one final teaser post as I race to finish the Julie update. As before, this is just a sleeping bag variant of the actual animations I made that I'll be using in the next update.

There are a few fancy things I'm experimenting with here.

First, the skin is being just slightly shaded to look a little more 3D. It's very subtle, but it added a certain depth to the breasts that I felt greatly improved the quality. It's most noticeable on the clavicles.<...

Claw that skin, Julie!

I don't consider myself a masochist, but there are one or two pain-inflicting little things that I think are pretty hot. Namely, lip-biting and nail-raking.

I struggle a lot to get the fingers to look right every time I attempt this type of look. I think this one finally turned out okay, but it took a damn while. Part of it is just how these fingers are modeled. They, much like a lot of the body, are very long and slender. They also look really bad when they're curled up too far, so I h...

Outline Experimentation on Julie's Animation

I swear to god, if it weren't for outlines, I would have completely finished LLRR already. This may be much ado about nothing to you, but here we go:

I recently revamped Julie's only LLRR animation, but I mentioned that I was frustrated with it. I realized after several days that I definitely was still not pleased with it, and after getting a chunk of other images done I felt better about pouring more time into it.

Here's what I made the other day:

Digital Commission #3: 1st-person POV of Julie riding you

As requested by Azalies!
I'm making this commission available to the Mediumcore tier because I'm already confident I'm going to include the final draft of this in the upcoming update.

Commission request is a first-person perspective of Julie riding Flin. Flin's hands are on her hips, and her arms or hands are covering her breasts.

Rough Draft:

Polishing I plan to do: More well-...

"Don't Stop! Keep going!" (Revamped)

I've been revamping a lot of the old Julie images lately. This can be a very frustrating process, especially when I don't feel as though I captured the exact same vibe in the new version

For example, here's a shot that's in the current version of LLRR:

I like this shot, but I felt that Julie's out-of-date red tongue and both her and Flin's stretched faces are too distracting here. So, I r...

Sleeping Bag Lovemaking

Finally finished polishing this animation (for now)!

It has 4 versions (day/night, bed/tent). I'm showing you this version because it's a nice way to tease what I'm doing without showing you exactly what'll be in the next update.

You may argue that Julie already has a missionary sex animation at this angle. You'd be right. I wanted it to be BETTER, though.

In fact, Julie only has the one animation in LLRR. Amy has three, and Kelly has four (not counting day/night va...

Gimp Tutorial: How to draw breath

First, inhale.
Boom, you've drawn breath.

Sorry, had to get that out of the way.

Drawing breath is actually pretty easy, though it does take some finesse and practice depending on the image.

First, we have our breathless image:

Open it up in Gimp (or Photoshop or whatever, these are largely universal techniques).

Add a new layer above it (in general, you should always...

Late-Night Warmup

Shortly followed by late-night exercise!

Amy and Kelly have similar images, but even so, I didn't recycle any work from them for this one. Dunno how much other people will notice the differences, but I notice them, lol.

I'm rather pleased with how this turned out, but I've still got my work cut out for me. Let's just say I've got some ambitious plans for Julie's sequence.

Rounding 2nd Base

I honestly think at least half of my posts at this point include the phrase "pain in the ass." This one's no exception, as it features a boob grab. A pain in the ass.

This kind of foreplay middle stage of going from clothed to unclothed is something I skip over all the time, but I hate skipping it. I think this stuff is really hot, but I personally find it's insanely difficult to do well. To date, I have not made an over-the-shirt boob grab that I really liked, and this image i...

Behind the Scenes: Character Design, Shading, and Outlines

In this post, I wanted to go into how exactly I arrived at this peculiar art style I'm using for LLRR. I'll discuss both positives and negatives about it, as well as what I might do differently once this project is complete. This is within the context of Blender.

First, let's talk character creation.

Around 4-5 years ago, I wanted to figure out how to make anime characters in Blender. I'll go into my full motivations on this someday (hint: it was not to make ero...

Some Bonus Recycled Content

Here's some bonus stuff I made that I'm not using right now. All these images lean on work from the past two updates. If you played through Amy and Kelly's latest scenes, you likely recognize elements from each of the above.

In the case of the first image, I was working on it for Kelly when a rare thing happened, and I decided her boobs were probably...bigger than they're supposed to be. Canonically, Julie's boobs are the biggest (though not by a lot), so I decided to do a little work a...

"We take a look around our hotel room."

...It looks suspiciously identical to Julie's bedroom, and also that room we shared at that party that one time.

I hate this problem. Julie's bedroom has some very distinguishing characteristics, like the desk with things on it and a waterfall picture and stuff. This shot from LLRR shows those things pretty well:

You wouldn't expect to see a computer + computer chair + random des...

1-Minute Animation: Flin x Julie

Ah yes, that time a long while back when I spent two entire days making a true animated sequence, instead of a brief looping gif. Since we're entering the era of the Julie update, I figured I could share this, but...not gonna put this in LLRR.

The above is just an image. To view the video (lemme know if this works): https://www.dropbox.com/s/a5mk8l...

Version 1.3.7, "The Kelly Update," Released!

I've been busting my ass this past week, you have no idea, but I'm proud to announce:

Version 1.3.7 Released! "The Kelly Update!"

Added the next significant chapter of story, revolving heavily around Kelly. Includes a bunch of new imagery.

Adjusted the text and text boxes to (hopefully) look nicer and make underlying imagery more visible without making it too difficult to read.

Next update will round out the trifecta ...

Recycling Thiccness

You may have noticed that sometimes, I recycle imagery between the girls.

The above shot, for example, is reusing work from one of Amy's recent pictures, but I edited the rest of the body to match Kelly's body type. In this post, I'm gonna go into my thought process behind recycling work (which I largely approve of), including issues I try to avoid.

Lemme take you on the little journey I went through.
The first time I ever really re-used work, I had made this resting pose for A...

General Text Area Update!

Lol, this ancient CG is one of few fully colored CG's in the game that's SFW. I should really remake this one sometime.

In a recent post, I had an image where I mentioned that the bottom area would get cut off by the text box, and how that annoyed me. This has been an ongoing problem that I've tried to account for while rendering, but often ignore because of constraints with the shot.

So, today I tried to greatly improve visibility in the bottom quadrant of the screen! Check out t...

Upside-Down Kelly Cam

Lol okay, I don't think I'm going to actually use this orientation, but I really like experimenting with camera angles sometimes, and there's certainly something about these less conventional ones that I enjoy.

I rather like this image, so I'm probably going to have a few different angles for it. Here's a shot I probably will use:

I kinda like the way the arching of the back alig...

Kellygasm

That moment when you come inside your girlfriend's best friend / best friend's girlfriend, and it feels so good!!

I haven't done too many first-person shots, and this is the first one ever that actually features Flin's hands! I really liked what the hand-clasps added to the shot.

One issue this image (and others like it) have right now is that the text box pretty much covers up...an important part. Friendly reminder that you can press "H" or the middle mouse button to tem...

Update on the Kelly Update

Alright, too many days since I last posted. Here are a few nice shots from the Kelly sequence I've been working on! I'm gonna add one or two NSFW posts later today, but I wanted to first make a public post about the current state of things.

I've been frustrated the last week or so with the Kelly sequence. Here's something that happens sometimes:

Me: "I wanna make something hot, like an intense makeout scene with Flin and Kelly!"
Me: *Spends 3-4...

New Kelly Outfit, whaaaaat

Hearsay!

I know it's simple, but doesn't she look cute? I always thought a choker would look good on Kelly (and Stella).

I always avoid giving characters new outfits. Not because making a new outfit is that difficult, but because life is way easier when I have a plethora of images that can be strung together since everyone's wearing the same shit.

But, Kelly just showered, and having her change back into her usual outfit just seemed...too weird. So now we have our v...

Am I bothering you?

What's the problem?

Cleavage can be a real pain in the ass to do well sometimes, especially from this angle. The cleavage you see here was actually rendered on a different model with different topology, but I think it's my favorite I've ever done from straight-on so I'm kinda copy-pasting it around a lot in these Kelly scenes I'm working on. Hopefully I can avoid becoming over-reliant on it.

Also, I fucking love making facial expressions, man! That's actually more fun tha...

GIMP Tutorial: How to (easily) make a Nighttime Image

I realize my tutorials aren't going to be very accessible to the public due to the subject matter of my page, but whatever! In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how I take one of my renders out of Blender and convert it into a scene that's happening at night, using GIMP (which, like Blender, is completely free).

So, the default scene I render out of Blender will look like it's happening during the daytime:

Diving into Kelly's "3 Days"

First, apologies for the break! I try to post at least once (and really at least twice) a week, but after cranking out the most recent Amy update I had to take a break. However, I'm getting back into it! Here's a picture of Flin and Kelly that I probably won't end up using (mainly because I expect to recreate it).

I wanna ramble for a bit about writing, which I haven't really discussed much before now.

I really like writing, but if there is one writing challenge I regular...

Version 1.3.4 Released!

April Fools!

No, April Fools on the April Fools, 1.3.4 is here!! Or as I like to call it: "The Amy Update."

This update adds a large chunk of story, but it's all focused on Amy! And if Amy isn't your favorite, all I can say is...this new stuff is her best content by far.

For the first time ever, there is now officially a sex scene that you can guarantee! The story has progressed far enough that we've reached the turning point, with ...

Quiver Lines feel sooo gooooooddd!!!!

Remember that post about me struggling with the lotus position? WE GOT THERE.

I'm way more pleased with how these images turned out, compared to the one in that earlier post. The second image shown here is a more direct replacement, but I'd like to talk about a new element shown in the first image: quiver lines!!

By that, I just mean the semi-dotted wavy lines near their faces that signify climactic quivering. I simply never attempted them before now, but I figured I'd do a little...

Make her moan, Flin!

A double boob grab!? Long have I waited for the skill and tenacity to pull this off. I've attempted it many times in the past, and scrapped every single attempt. Until now.

I recently mentioned a new technique where I simply draw the curves I need in Gimp rather than trying to morph the model in Blender. One of the coolest things about rendering in a simple, toon-style format is the ability to enmesh 2D and 3D pieces together seamlessly. Can you tell which curves were drawn in ...

Better saliva threads!

Apologies to anyone who finds this subject gross. I think it can be pretty hot though.

Flin and Amy's secret sexcapades continue, and this time I tried a new technique in creating the connecting thread of saliva between their tongues. I've only rarely done this in the past, and I think the most notable example is actually also between Flin and Amy:

Wow, I made that image almost three ...
