A Wealth of Choices

I think I'm going to need 2 or 3 "accent" pieces of music for critical scenes and events, and figured hip hop vocals might be a good genre for that. I set that as a genre and started scrolling through tracks, sampling audio from the ones that caught my eye. I thought I might be disappointed, because how many "hip hop vocal" tracks could they have? I was very surprised. It seemed like I was scrolling and sampling forever. I ended up with TEN tracks that were all VERY good, while being...

Music and Sound Effects

I've spent some time reviewing different music and sound effects options. I have a pretty good library of sound effects already, but sadly not nearly enough to get the job done. As far as music I spent a lot of time listening to different "royalty free" tracks, some on free sites and some that charge, but although there's a lot of variety overall with those options, the quality is just a little underwhelming.

So I'm going with a subscription-based service. It originally came down to Sou...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #17

I've got the completed render here from the previous post (Kerren's Pleasure) plus 2 others. I had another one I wanted to include but just noticed that it had an error I missed and have to correct before I let it off the chain.

This scene includes both the MC eating Kerren out, plus some regular (well, not so regular considering that women's honeypots can pretty much be classified as "deadly weapons" after the Change!) vaginal inter-course. That's gonna be interesting...

Kerren's Pleasure

This isn't a completed render, just a screenshot of the image currently being rendered. It's maybe 3% complete.

As I work on images, I "tune up" the script, because new ideas come to me. Improvements on the action, what the characters say, and sometimes that takes the scene in a new direction. I don't know how many of you do any creative writing, but often characters seem to take on a life of their own. It doesn't feel like I'm the writer - I'm just documenting what they're doing. Proba...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #16

Yeah, moving slower now so producing fewer renders. The sex scenes always seem to require more care than the others though. On the plus side, I think these images are quite good compared to most. I'm only providing 1 recently-rendered image here instead of 3 because of the reduced output. But as you can see there's also an older image included.

After the Change, women found that the strength and control of their private parts was greatly enhanced. Many updates ago when the MC had sex wi...

Billing Pause, posted July 29, 2022

Hi! Because of current bad economic conditions, I need to focus more on making money in my "normal" life right now! In addition, since that means I can't focus consistently on producing Patreon content, I don't want to subject my Patrons to a monthly charge until things are back to normal. So for the time being, feel free to subscribe for free. If and when I begin charging again, I'll let you know with a message before I do. I will continue to produce content - I just can't guarantee very reg...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #15

First, I want to apologize for missing the last update, on June 17th. I've been busier with "life stuff" lately.

Second, I unfortunately have to make a change. Investment markets have nose-dived. The changing economy has forced me to make some difficult decisions that allow me to focus more effectively on finances. My investments have been, well, getting the crap kicked out of them. I am now losing money at a ...

Well, as I said last update I don't have any new images this time. The one attached here is an older one you haven't seen yet just so this post isn't text-only. Sorry, but back to a normal update Friday. I wrote the script for the next scene, but actually it made much more sense to break it into two scenes, so those are both written.

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #13

I've gotta admit: I'm exhausted. Not with The Alpha Gender, but with other life responsibilities. Got this scene finished but haven't had a chance to write the script for the next one. This weekend's going to be tough. We've got monsoon season starting early it looks like, and I've got to get some yard and fence work done in preparation. Last season we actually had a tornado rip through our property in early July, which is very unusual for my area. It did some roof damage, du...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #12

Well go figure: I've still got a couple more images to go in this scene. Thought I would be done by now. I didn't appreciate the amount of environment-creation I'd need to do to set some of these scenes up. That... and a couple nights ago I set up my PC to render a few images while I slept, and didn't realize that Daz Studio was apparently still hanging onto a big chunk of memory from being in use for over 12 hours straight. That resulted in the first render in the queue actually View Post

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #11

Well I'm bangin' along now. These images are a lot more fun and interesting, and move the story along. They also happen to come much more quickly than the last batch. I'm almost certain that by Tuesday I'll be done with it and onto scene #5 - at least writing the script for it! Don't have much more to say other than progress is good.

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #10

I'm SO happy to be done with pool! All that motion blur post-work was making my eyes cross! I'm not sharing many of those images in these posts because frankly they're not as interesting as most of the others. Myself, I'd rather look at Kerren than a bunch of balls rolling around on a table.

But yeah, that scene (scene 3) is complete. They're still in the bar for the next 20 images in scene 4, but the renders should go pretty quickly. marching along to the next meet-up with Olivia, whic...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #9

This is a rough patch for me to get through. The images aren't particularly exciting, each one takes a long time to set up, and I don't consider most of them particularly interesting. But it's necessary I think: got to wade through the swamp full of leeches and snakes to get to the treasure! There's like 6 more "billiards" images before we get to the other side. Lots of "non-Alpha-Gender" work for me to do this weekend. Hopefully I'll have enough time available to keep these rolling productiv...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #8

A part of me wishes I never wrote this billiards scenario. The reason for that is that it's damn hard to make a game of pool visually interesting. I finally decided that i needed to show some ball motion on the table so it wasn't a complete snooze-fest, so I went back and added some motion blur to a couple images (the only ones where it made sense). Then when I wrote the script for the current scene, I planned it so that every image where Kerren takes a shot is an action...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #7

Alright, moving along faster now. The current scene keeps extending itself a little, but I'll be through with it by the end of this weekend, then I'll have to write the scripts for the next two scenes and get started on those. Next scene after this (A little competition) has a lot of cat-and-mouse with Kerren and the MC so that will be fun. The one after that (Your balls in the corner pocket) is really just a "traveling" scene - characters moving from one place to another. Then the next one a...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #6

A lot of amazon/female muscle stories and comics involve very pleasant fantasies where some uber-muscular giant woman becomes this perfect fantasy girlfriend for some super-scrawny guy. Somehow all she needs is sex, and the man, who really looks like an underfed 12 year old boy with a beard, magically fulfills her. Inexplicably she's in love with this tiny man and she's sure he's the only one for her, and the implication is that they then spend happy lives together.

Okay, so I'm having a little fun here. Angel isn't strictly necessary to the story (yet... that could change), but I'm a sucker for tough girls: girls who might kick your ass at the drop of a hat... and there aren't enough of those yet. I just hope I can convincingly write my way back into the normal flow of events after this detour! Anyway I think it's good to pepper the game with interesting character types that can be used to solve plot problems and keep things interesting later o...

Meet Angel

A new character started developing as I was creating this latest bar scene, so I expanded the scene a bit to accommodate her. I'd like to try and fold her into the story in a more permanent way but I'll have to find a way.

Her name is Angel and she's a gym bunny who spends time at Jimmy B's on her way home. She's known for goading and bullying guys into fights, and gets off on intimidation. Even Jimmy the bar owner, who's a massively muscled dude himself, isn't sure how to deal with her...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Update #4

Sorry for Tuesday, but this post resumes regular updates. I finished this scene (Chapter 12, Scene 1) and finished the script for scene 2. Also started the script for scene 3. Creating new environments takes the longest out of anything I do, and this last scene had many different ones. Over the last months and years I have purchased every single halfway-decent city environment, building and building generator... all to make sure I would have the best shot at creating scenes that look like the...

TAG Chapter 2 Progress: Non-Update

Unfortunately this is going to be a sort of "dog-ate-my-homework" non-update update. Last couple days I've had to deal with repairing our washing machine. Troubleshot the problem, found a new water pump and installed it today. That should have been that, but through a combination of bad eyesight, difficult-to-reach parts and probably sloppiness on my part, I didn't adequately secure the drainage boot from the tub to the pump filter. So we had an epic flood in the laundry room, leaking into th...

Why am I so nuts?

I couldn't tell you. it really bugged me that I didn't have a good LA hotel model to use for shots from the street. And there are also scenes in one of the exterior city-view glass elevators the LA Westin Bonaventure Hotel has. Doesn't really HAVE to be the Westin - I probably could have worked with some alternatives. But I couldn't find anything I liked. I finally found one hotel collection for cheap that included the Westin so I bought it... but it turned out to be extremely "low poly" (low...

Surprisingly this is a pretty tough scene for me to get through. I didn't realize it before, but there are a lot of different environments appearing for the first time, and some the only time: clothing store, hotel lobby, hotel room, streets near hotel, restaurant, Jimmy B's. So a lot more work than I originally thought. There is one image I've had a hard time with. The one in the hotel lobby! The lobby I've got is great, but the lighting has been a real PITA.

Alright, we're in chapter TWO now! Finished the final stills for chapter 1, wrote the script for the first scene in chapter 2, finalized the environment for the pool/bar (Jimmy B's) scene (really it's where both scenes 2 and 3 take place), and got 3 renders done for the first scene. As I said early on, I'm going to do most of the animations after I've finished all the still scenes for the first release (which is chapters 1 and 2) because animations really need my best efforts to pull...

Kerren at Jimmy B's

Had to take a break from writing the script for the first scene in chapter 2. I had created this bar a while ago, but on re-opening it decided that it needed some revamping. Most of the changes are on the outside, but I utilized the newest Daz Studio feature to create some volumetric smoky haze near the ceiling. Figured I'd give you a peek at the results. And then thought: you can't just render an empty, smoky bar! There needs to be a hot babe in the scene! Who better than Kerren?
