Ok, so the Kale 0.4 dA post has been live for a week, and at time of writing, has amassed a grand total of 7 downloads. All of which happened in the first two days. It's time to accept that I already learned everything this artwork was going to teach me, and the audience's engagement is not worth the hundreds of hours I'd have to grind polishing the mod t...

I literally forgot to tell you

Hey. I should let you know that I'm planning to retire after the Kale project. Completely; not just from Patreon.

Back in December, I noticed it's been two years and a half since I wrote this:

> I've realized that, from a psychological perspective, having my work in the public eye is not entirely self-sustainable.

Kale mod (WIP 3)

Modding the voice samples worked out fine. Except for the chipmunk effect, but that's less of a blocker. Guess I'll post the next WIP in the other platforms, and maybe someone will happen to know a cute voice actress willing to scream maniacally at a microphone for a while.

Everything still looks and sounds like ass, but at least I got a starting point for possibly all of it. Also, finally a working binary.

Kale mod (WIP 2)

Bit of progress; nothing's done. It's so much work ex dee

In particular, her legs still need some custom texturing, which is why I can't load them into the game yet.

Her pants have grown on me, though. They balance her physique well.

It seems there's a way to inflate her muscles relatively easily, but I wonder if the original developers already pushed the model as far as the animations would allow.

More testing underway...

Status Update

Ugh, please hold.

Work has been piling up like mad. Haven't had much time to work on Kale. Maybe it's the season.

Point is, probably don't expect updates until around the end of December. I need to get a lot done.

Sorry; have a sketch. Not charged, obv.

By the way

It looks like I forgot to unlock all posts to all Patreons back when I deleted the old tiers. Yikes.

So I did it now. If you used to be a Rationalist or Modernist, you should be able to find the posts you missed if you scroll down. If you can see two versions (one female, one futa) of most finished pictures, then it's working properly. If not, please contact me.

Kale mod (WIP 1)

I guess this is the solution, huh.

Everyone dreams on making a videogame one day, right? But the task is suicidal in scope.

Mods are the solution. The game is already done, you just have to patch that one issue to make it perfect. Which is usually the player character.

================

Been a while. Decided to half-ass a small deliverable to prevent this from looking too dead. Thing is, I've been working hard as fuck, but there was a lot to do and learn before the arti...

My Second Mod

My next project requires a fair amount of research. I'm not even sure if it's viable actually, because the corresponding modding Discord died about a year ago, and with it fell a large amount of public documentation it seems.

However, I'm doing fine so far. I decided to make a few less ambitious step-projects first.

With that in mind, I present to you...

The Dragon Ball FighterZ Android 21 Nail Polish Remover

You're probably wondering "WTF is this shit...

Hetani 3.2

Possibly finished. Might change the file tomorrow; will probably find lots of errors once my eyes are rested.

Hetani 3.2 (Most shading done)

Home stretch...

Hetani 3.2 (panels 2-4 color WIP)

It's always a WIP, isn't it

Hetani 3.2 (ink, color WIP)

Brah

How does everyone else paint so fast

Hetani 3.2 (partially inked)

Still a ways to go. Think I've lost a lot of confidence drawing faces. Hard to land on the right expressions.

Hetani 3 redesigns (pencils)

Thinking about that manga startup I posted last week.

I'd drawn the characters several years ago. Their designs haven't sat well with me recently, so I decided to bring them back to the design board. Character design is not one of my strengths, but I figure schoolgirls should be easy mode.

Well, that can probably be said about the whole high school setting in general.

Which rem...

Hetani 3.2 - 3.8 (sketches) (RIGHT TO LEFT)

Uhhh... okay.

It seems I can return now. Seems. It's honestly hard to wrap my head around it. Is this free time? It feels so brittle. So... unnatural.

Please keep your expectations in check. This manga... simply happened. I don't know if I'm going to even attempt to finish it; Hetani 2 taught me that it's unwise. Well, I haven't really given up on that either. It's just that I'm so bad at this.

At some point, once I've settled down and saved up a bunch, I have to quit my job...

Prototype (color) (futanari)

Sorry. Can't say I've settled things yet. Shit's hit the fan; my life was a bubble, and if anything, I chose the right time to relax my hobbies.

Have gotten a fair bit of progress, though. Managed to settle on a better job, paperwork's slowly but steadily draining, even managed to get past my first share of COVID. Which I guess it's inevitable at this point. Not a terrible time, by the way. Nice excuse to fuck off for a bit. It's a fresh batch of problems, which is great because I'm mor...

Mommy Fluttershy (futanari)

Been reminiscing about my childhood OC crushes. I have this bigass document where I'm writing together everything I remember about them. At some point I started adding portraits in this standardized format meant to queue them under a common ruler for easy comparisons. A random Fluttershy popped up at some point for some reason.

I guess I wanted to draw a pure maiden face wielding the most monstrous dick I could conjure, but the only horsecock I have is a girl who isn't thick enough.

I only watched MLP a short while ago. Stopped at some point in season 4 because I got pretty sweet sick. It really is a bit too much.

But there's something...

Roll (final)

It's finished.

Sorry for ending this in a sour note, but I'm gonna take a break; not sure how long it's going to last. I've been postponing some real responsibilities, and could really use some free time. It's been a while since the last time I played a videogame or lurked around other people's galleries.

Holy shit. I've been working on this for four months. That's not cool.

Supposedly, it's going to continue not charging you in my absence, but even so, don't feel obligated ...

Roll pp. 1, 2, 4 (bg WIP)

Almost done...

Roll p. 3 (color)

Ok, passable. Backgrouds now.

Roll p. 3 (color WIP)

No idea why, but the first panel is still giving me hell.

The colors are still somewhat far from finished, but it's been two weeks already. Have a little something.

Roll p. 3 (flats)

Ugh

That first panel beat the living shit out of me. I have six different pencils of it.

Roll p. 4 (color)

Page 3 is giving me trouble; might take some time.

Roll pp.1-2 (color)

Roll pp.4-5 (pencils)

Ok, never mind.

The entire Universe is conspiring against this image.

Will go back to Roll and grind that all week.

Prototype (pencils) (female)

Urk. I'll color it tomorrow. Actually, I really need to stop suggesting deadlines. Sigh.

I know that people doesn't normally read, but the picture wasn't planned, and doesn't make much sense on its own. Tried to keep it short, at least.
