Hello, everyone!
Been a busy week. (Aren't they all?)
Data Collection
Got another 5 pages edited since last week, halfway through editing page 23. Final stretch now. I might actually manage to finish editing all of the pages by next Friday - if not, I'll be within spitting distance.
Then it's a matter of finalizing and compositing all of the panels. That's... that's another story altogether. But at least the editing is almost done.

Howdy all.
Not too much to report, really. I've gotten 18 of 30 pages of the DVa comic edited (with pages 7, 8, and 9 going up for early access earlier today). Hopefully by next week I will be just about done with the editing. And maybe by the week after, I will finally be fully done, and ready to get back to animating the Rachel film.
I don't regret deciding to make this comic. I just regret the way I went about it. It was supposed to be a cutesi...

A potential animation project that my stream has been considering for a long while now is an orgy where guys take turns banging D.Va in all sorts of positions while she plays videogames. This comic is a direct prequel to this idea - should the video get made, it will have very little narrative setup. This comic provides that narrative context.
This is a rolling release! Get the latest pages a week early right here in this post! New pages will be posted every week, with notifications tur...

DVa Comic Prerelease
So, as I am sure you all expected, editing the comic is taking me longer than I anticipated. It's taking me about an hour to edit a page, and at 30 pages... Yeah, it's not much a surprise.
So far, I have 8 pages edited. And since this is taking so much longer (on top of how long it's already taken - more on that in a moment), I have decided to pre-release the 8 pages that I have done so far. The rest of the pages will ...

Hey all. Pretend I posted this last night, which is when I intended to.
Before I get into the meat of the post, I want to address the cover. You'll notice that it's different than the last one, and that's because the comic ended up taking a different direction than I had anticipated. The original cover ended up being misleading, as Sombra doesn't actually get involved in this comic (not to say she doesn't get involved in... well, you'll have to wait to read the comic to see đź‘€). This ...

Hey everyone!
So firstly, just as a quick aside, I am moving Progress Report day to be Friday evenings, rather than Thursday evenings. I have taken to using Thursdays as mental rest days, which means that I get no work done on Wednesdays (stream) or Thursdays (rest day), and I like to get a little bit of work done before I post Progress Reports. With that said:
Oh my!
This DVa comic has been taking more time than I anticipated, but when I reflect on my time projections and h...

I apologize for how obscenely late this Progress Report is. Let's get straight to it.
Why Is This Progress Report So Late?
Long story short, for the past week or so, my sleep schedule has been really fucked up. Like, I'd go to bed at 3am (my usual time, don't judge me), and just toss and turn for 3 hours before finally falling asleep.
Wednesday to Wednesday, there wasn't a single night where I fell asleep before 6am. Wednesd...

A Cavalcade of Misfortunes and Misfires, Or: Why There's No Actual Progress To Report This Week
So for those of you who get weekly WIP updates, you may have noticed that this is a few days late. And you might also notice a discernible lack of Rachel in this post's image. This is, unfortunately, tied to the second part of this title, and why I am making this post as-close-to-public as I can get it (Patreon doesn't like public posts to have lewd images, s...

Hey all!
So as part of this week's update post, I noted that I started and consequently decided to shelve a DVa/Sombra comic, which serves as a prequel to an on-stream video we've been kicking around for a while now. That project's working title is "Gamebang," with the premise being that DVa hosts a game tournament slash orgy / gangbang (hence the name - it's a pun).

HEEEEEEELLO EVERYONE!!
Gosh it feels nice to write a Progress Report again. I never thought I'd miss it, but there's creature comfort to be found in the little things, like regularly scheduled (if slightly ambiguously timed) weekly updates.
As I mentioned earlier, this was the first week since I've gotten back that I've actually had a chance to get work done. And get work done, I did! I have finished all of the core animations for the montage sequences in the Rachel/Chaos project!...

Hey all!
I'm back from vacation. Been back since Monday, actually.
My original plan was to release a new comic and put together this "2021 New Year" content megadump on Monday, and then work on the Rachel/Chaos project and dazzle you guys with some new footage.
Unfortunately, that didn't turn out. The comic ended up needing an extra day, and then two days to build the infrastructure for the comic viewer. And then the content megadump itself ended up consisti...

Hey all. As promised, an early update, since I am leaving for family vacation in the morning.
I was hoping to get more done for today. The first two scenes are animated. The first was shown on Twitter (albeit incomplete). If the third was animated, I'd render out a WIP to show them off. But it isn't, so I didn't.
I ended up spending legitimately over 90 minutes just editing the rock mesh for the "chair" that Chaos uses in this scene. I originally didn't plan for it to have a back,...

Hey everyone!
Sorry for not getting this post out yesterday, I wanted to get all of these animations shown here done, and I just didn't get the last one day yesterday.
The reason why I wanted to wait is because these are the complete set for the first montage sequence, and about a third of all of the unique sex sequences in Rachaos! These are just the core loops, and they're not 100% final, but they're good enough for me to move on to the second montage set.

Hello, everyone!
I am pleased to announce that the screenplay for Rachaos is effectively finished, and production has formally begun! I started animating the sex sequences today, starting with the montage animations, evidenced by this post's video.
As you can tell, this is a very rough sketch. No scenebuild, no lighting, and superfluous details like Chaos' rear arms and tail are completely unanimated. I'm just focusing on the core motions right now, trying to get the speed and int...

Hey all!
I apologize for this taking so long. This is a beast of a screenplay, clocking in at whopping 131 shots! This is by far the longest screenplay I've written to date[1], with the previous longest screenplay being Rabbit.Hole Episode 3, sitting at a pretty 88 shots. It’s also gone through several rewrites before this draft was completed—there’s a reason it’s called “rev3”; that stands for revision 3, and in this case, each revision wa...

So, hilariously, I planned to put together this post yesterday, officially announcing that I had finally finished producing assets for the Rachaos short. But then I finished rewriting the beginning of the screenplay, and out of that fell the realization I needed to produce another asset.
But that is done now, and I think I am actually done producing assets! Rachaos is hands-down the most preproduction-heavy short I've done to date. ...

Hey everyone.
So, you might have noticed that I didn't post a Progress Report on Thursday, November 12.
Yeah. This post was meant to be made then. To say that it's been a hectic week would be one hell of an understatement. The week started out busy, but then my PC died on Wednesday, delaying the modeling stream to Thursday, and everything just went downhill from there.
I honestly can't remember everything I worked on. There's been a convergence of other, longer-term projects...

This update is a bit late, because I wanted to get this preview image in a presentable state for it, and I just didn’t quite have the outfit ready last night. The image still isn’t done (need to do finger-posing, face-posing, and pose the outfits to fix some clipping), but it’s definitely far enough along to present the idea. What is that idea, exactly, you may ask? Well, that segues perfectly into the first of many chapters for today’s post:

I apologize for the fact it took longer than expected. My web dev and I ran into some bandwidth limiting problems that took longer to resolve than we anticipated. There were also some configuration problems we hit attempting to go live.

Hello, everyone!
As I'm sure you've noticed, Liziverse still isn't released. I want to apologize profusely for that.
I've had it fully rendered, edited, and ready to export for 10 days now. The hang-up isn't on my end. Rather, the root of the problem is my Sound Designer's schedule has been an absolute nightmare.

So as you may be able to guess, Liziverse Episode 1 won't be releasing tonight (or, I guess, last night, seeing as it's currently 3:26AM as I write this sentence...). My sound designer says he needs a few more days to finalize the audio, and then I want to take some time to thoroughly pick through everything once that audio is in, make sure it's as good as we can get it without being too unreasonable about it.
Right now, I am eyeballing an early-access release on Monday, ...

Liziverse is making great progress! It’s not quite where I wanted it to be, but I’m overall not too bothered by it—after all, I am pointedly not giving myself any deadlines for these projects anymore. That being said, the handful of hours that ultimately bore no fruit were still invaluable—testing the limits of what all my motion-capture rig is good for and what all still needs to be keyed by hand, and experimenting with ways to accelerate the animation w...

Hello everyone!
It's been another 2ish weeks since the last update, and I apologize for that. However, hopefully I will be making more regular posts going forward!
As you can tell by this post's image, I have returned to working on Liziverse. I had a manic episode last night, and was on the fringe of abandon-releasing it - but just as I was about to publish a 9-Tweet thread about how much of a worthless waste of space I am, my dinner finished and I had to take a break to eat.

Before I begin, a few apologies:
First, for the lack of an update last week. Those of you who follow me on Twitter are likely aware that last week was spent pretty much entirely on a new workflow, and so I didn't have anything (or any time) to post an update. It wasn't until Monday that I even realized I never posted an update.
Second, for the low-quality upd...

So I didn't quite make the Thursday date for the progress report, but I actually have a valid excuse for it. I technically didn't make the Friday date either, since it's currently 1:41AM as I am writing this sentence on Saturday morning, but I haven't gone to bed yet, so I'm still saying it's Friday.
So what all got done this past week?
