Hello all, first of all I wanted to give you a sneak peek of the next releases, two commissions by dear supporters; please note that these are early WIPs, and do not represent the final look, they're rough and missing a lot of work.

First is Nico Robin!
This will be a huge Ultimate pack with several costumes and both her post TS and pre TS looks, she should be coming out tomorrowish at night.


Next one is Ritsuko Akagi!

Sneak peek for future content, page makeover and future changes

1) First of all, in the screenshots you have a small WIP preview of the next release, the cultured ones will need no introduction.

This is another public commission made by a very kind patreon, which I decided to upgrade into an ultimate release (more on this later), both as gratitude for his continued patronage and since I really love Mileena and wanted to eventually try my best at ...

This look contains:

3 CUAs; rigged hair, static hat and static accessories

Commission status/queue

Right now the commissions work on a first come first serve system (unless a specific window is requested) and depending on the commission it should take around a week/week and half as a base time, it might be less or it might be more depending on the workload, source models, etc.


This info is on the discord as it allows me to constantly update and post the status.

Firstly; big thank you all you supporters, the patreon keeps growing and this is all thanks to you!

1) In the coming days I will start pimping up the patreon and structure it better, as part of that process and a reminder that this place belongs to you; I've made a poll to see your opinions regarding the patreon and how you would like to see it change/grow.

This is a normal poll with no tier bonuses, it's mostly so I can get some feedback on how you feel about the...

Character release: Ultimate Elena

Have been looking forward to this one for a while and while it took a ton of work and learning, I think this ended up being my best done look yet.


As I was extracting her from the game, I noticed she has a ton of intricate jewelry that's already rigged, I decided to make use of the chance and as a result this look uses CUA as clothing for a fair bit of the items.

Not only this allows them to stay as a high quality mesh but they're also rigged!

The next release will be Christie Monteiro from Tekken, this is my second commission and my first public commission release, she should be released in the next 24ish hours and will include an additional costume, Asuka from Tekken 7.


Immediately after her comes Elena from SF6, which I'll work on ASAP to extract her model (if another artist doesn't upload her before) and get her done as soon as her update goes ...

Change to the monthly lists and starting list for the month of June

With Lisa Lisa, the previous poll winner being released and June about to start, I feel it's the perfect time to post the starting list for the poll of June but I'll make one small change to this process since a swashbuckler addition was the winner of the first poll:

Unlike the first starting list, this list will be exclusively swashbuckler patreon picks, making it a great opportunity to get your character.
As of now, the list consists of:

1) Ruined Irelia (Model by <...

Character release: Lisa Lisa

The winner for the poll of May is now here!
Version control:
V1: EA release
V2-4: Fixes
V5: Free release

I was originally planning on releasing her with 1 hair since the in game ASB hair has some issues that are visible when not in game, but I managed to reach a good balance so I decided to release both hairs.
The ASB base hair still has some small issues I sadly can't really solve, hence why I decided to just do two hairs.

Includes:

Character release: I-no

After a whole ton of trial and error I feel she's in a good state to be shared, here's I-no with her look from GG Strive.

While I originally wanted to add her Xrd look, due to the GG artstyle that's next to impossible to replicate in VAM with addition of the weird quirks that her clothes had this was a very tall order.

Eventually it was taking way too much time to get those right and since this was a personal project I felt that for my sake and to honor the poll results quicker I ...

May poll winner

And the votes are in, the pre bonus vote count is:

Lisa Lisa: 9
Tristana: 11
Gum: 12



Patreon polls do not reflect tier voting powers as of today so I have to tally the final results personally, for the sake of full transparency for all of you (although I obviously won't share names or patreons for their right to privacy) I can share the more nitty gritty stats and votes privately if anyone wishes to see them, just shoot me a message.

Surprise release: Peni Parker

As stated in the last preview, I-no is chugging along and is about 90% done, but that final 10% has been complicated to get just right.
But that doesn't mean I'll leave you guys hanging, to make up for it I've been working in something else on the meantime and here it is, Peni Parker from Marvel Rivals!
This look was made using a combination of assets from Shinteo, Bobot and HobbyR34 Mantis model, edited and built upon with custom texture work and assets to get a high quality look.

Sneak Peek for future content & small update to the swashbuckler tier

Thank you to all supporters, it's because of your support that I'm able to do these ports.


The next character to be released is I-no from Guilty Gear, you can see a small preview of her WIP look on the attached screenshots.

This is still a WIP, much like like Jolyne I'll do a LOT of work on her texture details to make it as close to the strive look as possible and that's gonna be the biggest challenge for this release.
She will have her S...

Patreon update: character polls and new tier, plus a sneak peek to upcoming content.

First of all, a big thank you to all you supporters, you're the ones allowing this.

Secondly, I've received a fair amount of comments, direct messages, etc regarding future projects, if I was planning on doing x character, if they could pay an extra tier for it before commissioning, etc, while I was interested in doing some of those I wasn't planning on doing them in the near future.
But since I've gotten a fair amount of these requests/questions; I've decided to start expanding the ...
