The FULL Shawna Anderssen Comic!

Now I don't know how I end up making these stupid mistakes, but once again an eagle-eyed Patron Halle has pointed out that I missed something! I had published the pdf of "The Advantures of Shawna Anderssen" here, but I never updated it with the final pages! That's right, there were SEVENTEEN pages missing from the very end. So I re-exported the comic to include ALL the pages, and here it is for download. I also uploaded it to Google Drive, and removed the old, partial version.

Kerren Throws MC Test Animation

As promised, here's the test video. This is just the motion of the characters in a portion of the animation. This is just a hair over 2 seconds, but the whole animation will be 8.4 seconds. There's a bit just before this where she is holding him in front of her by the waist and raises him over her head, then this animation here, then him flying across the room and landing/bouncing/sliding on the bed, then a shot of his dazed face as he processes that she just tossed him across the room like a...

Plan to post test animation tonight

It's funny, I arranged the order of animations to put the easiest ones first, then building up to the more complex ones, so I'd save the tough ones for when I was more "in the groove" and had the benefit of learning on the easier ones. But I'm finding out that this second animation is definitely not easy! In fact, it's come close to breaking my brain a couple times so far!

The timing and sequencing is extremely complex, and there are sooo many moving body parts to jiggle! Bounc...

How the Sausage is Made... testing, testing, testing.

I've been working on the animation where Kerren throws the MC onto the hotel bed. I think this is only going to be a 6 second animation, but it takes a lot of adjustment to get the timing to feel right. One of the challenges is getting the MC's enormous genitals to bounce and flop properly. So I set up these test animations, with only the objects in the scene that move.

Once I get the MC's trajectory and movement right (it's very close), then I get the bedding (mattress, pillows, and th...

Lainey Dance Studio Fight PDF

This is the first comic I created on DeviantArt, and was just learning the comic creating software. Like an idiot I made each page its own file which made it difficult to turn into a pdf, so I never posted it her. Then promptly forgot about it until one of our eagle-eyed Patrons reminded me. So I figured out how to do it and here it is. It's also on Google Drive too.

As a weird side-note, I tried to create a cover page for it, but there's some fatal error in the Lainey figure that make...

Can I TELL You How Much I HATE Copyright Law?

One of the animations on my list is where the MC, back in his office after meeting Olivia De La Renta for the first time, jacks off on the floor of his office to fantasies of her.

it occurred to me in the shower this morning, that the PERFECT music to add to that animation is "Hooked on a Feeling" by Blue Swede. It's an amazing track, would be hilarious, and is the perfect mood and feel for that scene!  But I CAN'T use it. Not even for a free creative work. not without paying the ...

Really? Not a single Patron gave feedback?

When I shared this animation video I did it in 3 versions and asked which one you preferred (music, sound effect, or music + sound effects). Not a single person chose. Please let me know which you prefer, or add comments if you think the relative levels are bad (music or sfx should be lower for example). I'd rather get it right now than to put out something everyone dislikes and only find out when it's too late.

Muscularity for Genesis 9 Figure

FINALLY, someone released a Genesis 9 muscularity morph product. Buying it now, will be playing with it today to see if it's good enough.

dFast Animation Test

Okay, I mentioned the script I'm using here in the previous post. This is just a quick stab at it, with the amounts of flex and vascularity not dialed in very well. But I did tie the flexion of many muscles into it. But I think this will allow me to show muscle flexing pretty well in animations.

What do you think?


Damn, videos are such a pain. The YouTube video above is age-restricted, so some of you (usually if you're not signed into a YT or Google account) won't be ab...

Muscle Flexion in Animations

I'm looking for ways to make the animations as realistic as possible. I found a script called "dFast" that may allow me to cause muscles to flex convincingly when joints bend. I especially would like to see that happen with the animation of Olivia doing weighted pullups at the end of release 1 - I NEED to see those big back muscles and biceps swell and ripple! But also for the next animation I'll be working on: Kerren throws the MC onto the bed. The script can do it, but my first tes...

Nina Clamping MC Mouth Shut Animation

Okay, it's done. I'm honestly not entirely happy with it and may in fact end up re-doing it at some point later. The two main problems are:

1) Shadows on the wall are very weird. This should be easy to fix. Well: easy to fix, but 60 hours of computer time to re-render!

2) Don't like the way her hair animates at all. Not sure how to fix that but there's probably a way. Unfortunately it's very difficult to see a real-time animation preview before rendering. Need to...

Thought you might be interested in this...

Occasionally a scene or dialogue idea for TAG hits me. When it does I write it down to save for later. This one may give you an idea about some of the effect of the Change.

Olivia explains to MC the importance to post-Change women of penis size:

"Men with petite bites... average dicks... simply provide no sexual fulfillment to women today... rien. To maintain a high birthrate, women must control génétique outcomes to favor males with huge cocks. I will not ...

Life Scientist?

I'm casting a net to see if any of you Patrons have expertise or knowledge in biological sciences - particularly genetics. If you do, please comment or even better message me. I'd like to discuss something with you relating to The Alpha Gender.

How many have read The Alpha Gender story?

I'm thinking about making a couple changes to events in the story. Well, not changes exactly, but probably additional sexual transactions that will or can happen (might be determined by player interaction). These would be in the second release, and they'll certainly spice things up! How I introduce them might be affected by how common it is for fans to have already read the text story. That and I'm curious too! Thanks!

PERFECT is the Enemy of the Good

Another reason I took such a long hiatus that I forgot to mention in my "I'm Back!" post is that Daz Studio released a new figure model: Genesis 9. You'll probably recall that there was a muscle morph product for the Genesis 8 Male figure that I experimented with. It's called Auto Muscle Enhancer HD. Amazing product that, if ported over to the female figure would have allowed Olivia to look like the muscle goddess she truly is! The guy who created it was 95% ready to release ...

I'm Back!

Sorry for such a long hiatus. The reasons why are several: project burn-out, holidays, need to make $, and a couple health issues (foot and back problems).

Now I'm refreshed and back on the TAG trail, burn-out replaced by renewed vigor. Holidays past us, Health problems on the mend. Money concerns always loom, but in-check for now.

For now until first release, the subscription fee is as follows: the first month's fee is obviously whatever you chose, and will not be refunded. View Post

Billing Problem... Now. PROBLEM NOW SOLVED!!!

PLEASE READ THE END NOTE TO FIND OUT WHY THIS IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE.

I have had billing on this page paused for months, and all indications from Patreon were that I could CONTINUE this billing pause indefinitely. A few weeks ago they added "Subscription Billing" which allows new Patrons to sign up on ANY day of the month and then be billed every 30 days from that date, instead of, for example signing up for a subscription on the 30th, paying that day, and then getting charged A...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #28

So I'm now done with all still images of course. Onto animations. After I finished the last renders I went back through all of them and cleaned up some things I missed in postwork (Photoshop) and re-organized everything so I wouldn't forget anything when it was time to code. I created an animation spreadsheet and re-evaluated them so I understood exactly what I'd be doing in each and which ones were the most challenging. I had some weird computer problems the last week or so, which I finally ...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #27

I'm sooo close! Moving pretty fast right now, but paying extra attention to quality, and also hit a few snags that slowed me down. Made 4 renders that included the MC before I realized that mysteriously several of skin texture settings had zeroed out! Not sure what happened, and it was hard to catch because he was either only visible through glass, or in reduced lighting. So I had to fix and re-render those. Also, almost every time I do stills in a gym it's a pain, because the light geometry ...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #26

Taking my time with this scene since it's so pivotal. There's also some hella tricky shit in here. Lotta custom work. Custom signs, custom TV screens, clothing mods, prop geometry mods... When the MC sees Olivia in the gym she's doing pull-ups with 4x 45 pound plates hanging from her waist. Any of us could do that, right? Was hoping to find one of those "dip belts" that's like a wide leather or nylon/neoprene (sometimes with a buckle) and a loop of steel chain to pass through...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #25

This scene is finally done! I apologize that it took so long. Best I could do was get out two images a day for the most part, due to the unusually long render times for this office floor. It's not a terribly juicy scene - no naked or scantily clad women, and mostly guys in fact. But NOW I can focus on the final scene in the chapter and initial release! The final scene has some technical challenges to be sure, and it's a very important scene to get right. Fortunately ...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #24

It's the weirdest thing. Whenever I render images on the MC's office floor at Doppler, the renders take FOREVER... even with my super-duper graphics card. Well that's not entirely true - about every 5 or 6 images I seem to get one that takes the "expected" time to render. But I've tried everything imaginable to fix this to no effect. Fortunately I shouldn't have to do too many more on this "set" (set in the sense of a movie set) and then things will speed up again. But right now I'm ...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #23

This scene I approached a bit differently than past ones. usually I write the script before creating any stills. In this case it seemed to make more sense to build the scene as I created the images. I ended up changing something around too: there's an encounter that originally I'd planned for the next scene, but it occurred to me it would be more dramatic if it happened in an elevator rather than the MC's office.

The next scene won't be particularly long (even shorter in fact now that I...

And another scene... COMPLETE!

Yeah that was fast for me. Would have been even faster but I did a little re-write of the script toward the end and changed things around and extended it. Three scenes left to render and then I'm finished with all the stills. The next scene will be a short one. I haven't scripted these next 3 scenes yet. I'll write at least the first one today and maybe the second too. Then I'll start setting up and rendering stills again.

I know I've been silent for a while. Life, making $, local storm season, mowing our 5 acres because of all the plant growth storms bring... blah blah blah. Just know that even when I'm silent I'm putting in time on the VN. I'm really happy to have this scene finished, because it was a loooong one (longest yet by far!), and now it seems I'm in the home stretch! Plus it has an exciting end!

Anyway, the script for the next scene is all laid out so ...

Kerren Sex Animation

Just FYI. I've been busy the last week or so Part of that is personal and related to getting my finances firing on all cylinders again, but the other part is that I've been working on an animation. Mostly I intended to do those when I'd finished all the stills, but I wanted to make sure my last stills in this scene matched the animation relating to them, and I couldn't be sure what it would look like, so I just decided to do it first. It's a 6.6 second (220 frames) sex animation with Kerren r...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #20

Well, I got through all the "X-ray" images (one included here). I admit I was a little worried that they'd be harder and more time consuming than I was counting on, but in fact they were easier! As I stepped through the back and forth in that sequence though I realized I was rushing things a bit, so I added some more still images to properly tell the story. That's why the total # of stills for this scene (now 82) crept up.

Slow progress the last few days due to our US Independence Day holiday, and of course: life. You've doubtless seen that I'm finally starting to pick music out for the VN though. I'm only sharing two images here because there weren't many completed, and all but one (attached) were pretty boring because they were just to move the plot along from when he eats her out to the next sexual "stage" of their encounter. The next few will get much more interesting and steamy!
