Would you guys be interested in a discord server? I've never done one and i'm quite nervous about the idea of one, but if peeps are onboard and want one, whether it's for general chatting or maybe having you guys help me cook up stuff, i'm open to ideas/suggestions!

First off, Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉
Gosh, where did the time go? It’s crazy to think I started this journey almost five months ago (I think?), and here we are, already diving into our next project. Let’s get into the juicy details right away!
I’ve been working on reworking some of the characters I’ve been using because I want to push the quality of my work even further. Here’s how I plan to do that:
Better Armatures:
One of the biggest parts of animation is setting up key poses, and honestly, the armatures I’ve been using just weren’t cutting it. I’ve enhanced them to be more animation-ready, so posing is way more comfortable and efficient now.
Visual Fidelity Upgrades:
Genshin and anime-style models are typically optimized for EEVEE with a more stylized look. But I like a little more photorealism in my work, which has made these models look, well, awkward at times when rendered in PBR. After experimenting with ways to make them more detailed without veering into the uncanny valley, I think the results turned out great! Let me know what you think!
Improved Morphs:
Anyone who’s been following my work for a while knows I’m a little obsessed with details like skin pressure and body proportions—especially with super tight clothes. Lately, I’ve been exploring new ways to make cloth look better and skin deform more realistically under pressure. It’s a small change, but I’m really happy with how it’s coming along!
The attached images show off these updates and serve as a little sneak peek for the next small projects I’m working on.
As proud as I am of the Makima project overall, I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate you all sticking with me through the delays. But let’s be real—it took way too long. That’s why I’m changing how I work moving forward:
Monthly Short Animations:
These will ensure supporters are consistently rewarded while I chip away at the bigger, more ambitious projects.
Mini-Comics & Single Images:
I’ll still create these smaller pieces in between to keep things fresh and fun!
This is something I’ve been planning for a while, and I’m aiming to roll it out this month. Here’s the breakdown:
Shorter Early Access Periods:
I’m cutting down the early access window to just 1-2 weeks. Let’s face it: the longer periods made things convoluted and also opened the door to internet piracy.
Pricing Adjustments:
The $9.69 tier is dropping to $5 (yeah, it was just an inside .69 joke, honestly).
A new $3 tier will offer 1-week early access.
My goal is to make my content more accessible while keeping it a great value for everyone.
Redundant Tiers:
I’m still figuring out what to do with the $15 and $20 tiers. I might keep one and repurpose it, but I’d love to hear your thoughts or ideas! I might even run a poll to get your input.
Right now, I’m hard at work on the next mini-comic, which is all about size stealing. I might even tie this month’s short animation into that theme.
As for the next big animation (featuring Jane Doe from ZZZ), I don’t have all the details yet, but I’ll keep you posted as I start working on it.
Thank you all so much for being here and supporting me. It truly means the world, and I’m so excited to keep bringing you content I’m proud of. Much love to you all—stay hydrated, and here’s to an amazing year ahead!

2024-12-31 20:20:54 +0000 UTC View PostHello Hello! Now that i am freed up from the shackles of such a large project and have planned to shift my workflow and such to make more time for these, i think its about time for this poll!!!
What Comic/Image series would you like to see next. I'm going to include two old ones and then the choice for something new
Everything has been finished and rendered and now we have begun the sound work. We are in the home stretch!

Hello, everyone!
I wanted to take a moment to share some updates about the changes I have planned for Patreon in the future, as well as the general release schedules for content.
First off, I want to address the lack of a major release over the past two months. The current project turned out to be far more ambitious than I initially anticipated for the timeframe I had in mind. The good news is that it's now being rendered, and once the sound work is complete, it will be ready for release!
That said, while many of you have been patient with delays (and I sincerely appreciate that), it’s unacceptable for me to fall short of delivering consistent monthly rewards. To address this, I have some changes planned starting in January:
Tier Adjustments:
I’m planning to reduce tier prices across the board to make my content more accessible and approachable. Along with this, I’ll rework the tiers to streamline everything and improve the experience for all supporters.
Shorter Early Access Windows:
I’ve noticed that some of my content has started to leak online, which is understandable given the current four-week early release schedule. This window is simply too long to lock content behind a paywall. To mitigate leaks and piracy, I will:
Eliminate the 3- and 4-week early access periods and the tiers associated with them.
Introduce a new, lower-priced tier for WIPs, images, mini-comics, and early access to animations.
Removal of Unused Perks:
Some perks, like "naming your own character," were underdeveloped and underutilized. These will be removed to keep things focused and meaningful for everyone.
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned from this project is the importance of balance. I don’t want to find myself stuck on something for months at a time without working on other content in between. So, here’s the plan:
I’ll still work on large, ambitious, community-voted projects.
To ensure consistent content delivery, I’ll also focus on creating shorter animation shorts each month. These smaller projects will provide regular rewards for supporters and give me a break while working on the bigger releases.
This compromise ensures that everyone who generously supports the platform gets what they’re entitled to, while still allowing me to pursue larger creative endeavors.
Thank You!
I want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for your incredible support. None of this would be possible without you, and it brings me so much joy to deliver quality content for you all to enjoy.
Lastly, for anyone who has pledged since I started working on the Makima animation: regardless of whether you’ve had to cancel your subscription for any reason, I’ll make sure that everyone who supported during this time receives the final animation.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as I work to improve this Patreon experience for everyone!
Much love to you all! <3

Just a test sim of the final scene of the animation
This was my first time ever trying something like this and i'm pleased its turning out relatively well
this final (20-30 seconds) will be so satisfying to make and after that, i can finally render the remaining parts and start sound work to get this out SOON
Just need to simulate the breasts and do some final touch-ups and we will move on to the final scene.
this has been a super massive project and a project that has far surpasses my original scope and time-frame, so i appreciate each and everyone of you guys for being patience.
Someone loves themselves some booty/
still a low-res and unfinished scene but its coming along nice. Only two scenes left before it will be ready for post process/sound design
Well, it looks like size steal will be the main theme of the next big animation.
now id like to know which character will star in it
If you have any recommendations not listed below, please feel free to comment!
Hey hey everyone! With the current Makima animation only needing a few more scenes to go until its finished, i wanted to ask you guys on what the next big animation will be.
This Poll, i'd like to see what theme you would prefer for it.
just three more scenes to go and it should be finished. Thank you all for your patience on this one. This scene in particular took several days with fine tuning simulations and i think after one more iteration, it should be good

this alone took me way more effort than i had anticipated, but it came out decent thus far.
2024-11-08 04:36:31 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
I wanted to share a quick update about the Makima animation. First off, I can’t thank you all enough for your incredible support—every single one of you means the world to me. Words truly can’t capture my gratitude.
As most of you know, the majority voted to prioritize quality over rushing the animation. While I deeply appreciate your patience, I also recognize that some of you who pledged in early October didn’t receive a reward because of this colossal project’s delay. To make it right, I’ve decided to honor the support of those who had to cancel for any reason.
Here’s what this means:
If you pledged for early access (4-week, 3-week, 2-week, or 1-week tiers) and canceled anytime between October and now, I’ll still send you the animation in the early access period that reflected your tier via email. This way, your support doesn’t go unappreciated.
Rest assured, it is still in development and I'm working on it as much as I can do get it done.!
I’ve been reflecting on the current tier structure and feel it doesn’t fully deliver a fair value proposition. When I started this journey, I was new to this and I admit I could have done better. This month, I’ll be re-evaluating the tiers and plan to lower prices to ensure fair value for everyone.
Expect polls in the coming days about:
Future projects
The next mini-story
Animation announcements
Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your unwavering support. It’s because of you that I can continue creating content at this level. Take care, stay hydrated, and I’ll see you soon with more updates!
Until next time

Sorry it took so long. I may continue to update this depending if peeps want it : 3
All characters are 18+ and are consenting adults and are role-playing
Here's a quick lighting and animation test. So far we are about 1500 frames in and making great progress. I will have some more updates soon on further progress.
Another note is im trying out this hosting service again and hoping the account doesn't get nuked. So i will be much more cautious on what i use this for with WIPs. For other stuff ill likely use drop box or MEGA upload.
More images are incoming. They are rendering still : 3
2024-11-01 03:48:53 +0000 UTC View PostJust wanted to give you a quick update on the Makima animation. Production is moving forward, but it’s proving to be more ambitious than expected. As it turns out, creating 3-4 minutes of fully storyboarded animation with voice acting is quite the challenge!
While I’m still aiming to finish by the end of the month, I don’t want to rush it and release anything less than my best work.
So, I wanted to ask for your input:
Would you prefer I continue working on the Makima project, even if it gets pushed back a little?
Or would you rather I release a shorter animation (something I already have groundwork for) as this month’s reward?
As always, I truly appreciate your support! Let me know what you'd like to see!
if you have tried watching any of the WIP/Previews and it hasn't been working, it's because apparently the hosting platform moderation team did not like the nature of the upload(s). I will be reuploading them via MEGA files.
