Cute background pony & progress report

She's only visible partially covered for 5 seconds 😭

Featuring new eyes that I did a while back.

In case Patreon decides to compress the image, I also attached the full resolution version.

Progress:

It's so close to being finished 😳, mostly needs polish and details now.

Stuff done since last update:

• Main animation of all scenes is now complete

• Completely redid one scene (I still have one ...

Progress report + edit

A quick edit with space fox waifu. I kind of want to make a furry edit of the whole thing later, though that would take a lot of work...

------

The main animation is not fit for release yet, though progress is being made.

At the moment 20 out of 22 scenes are fully animated (some lipsync and physics missing though).

To do:

• 2 scenes are vectorized and rigged, but the animation still sucks
• Lipsync for 6 scenes (turned out to be faster than expected)<...

Discord server (soon™), preview, timeline

Discord

I’m creating a Discord server, and I’m planning on releasing all future animations there instead of Patreon. It’ll be a public server, and you get access to paid content channels with Patreon subscription. I will make a post on Patreon when I release something, so you won't miss it. A lot of artists seem to do this succesfully.

This is mainly due to Patreon recently banning some folk. I don't wanna lose you all in case the banhammer heads my way.

If you are i...

Pony bounce individual scenes

Edit: Added the missing scene with Rainbow and Windy.

If you just joined and haven't seen the full music video, you can see it here.

5000 webm looks best if your device can play it. Some of them loop bad when viewed in Firefox, Chrome is better (though Chrome still has this tiny pause when it loops...).

Big Twilight animation in January + a little preview

i love Twilight with fat tits and ass. Do you? If everyone hates Twilight with fat tits and ass, I guess I'll have to do something else. So let your voice be heard, every vote counts!

You know how this works: no regular animations until this one is release worthy, but I'll do some small previews along the way.

I’m doing new head rigs from scratch. The old anthro head rig is a buggy clusterfuck, quite limiting in terms of what I could do with it, and I...

Little alt...

...that I forgot to post. Silly me.

NBB is a version without crotchboobs.

Higher bitrates (6000) look better if your device can play them, HR1000 is half resolution if full resolution doesn’t work. Webm loops better than mp4.

Sep 2023: You're gonna fit right in

Do all unicorns taste this sweet? Or is it because she’s my friend?

Inspired by the lovely ponuts drawn by Aer0 Zer0.

Give me music for animations

Do it here!

⮝Use the link⮝

Ever listened to music and thought "man I wish I could watch ponies getting cuddled to this beat?"

If yes, then share the track and it might just become reality.

Things to consider:

• Typically electronic music, but you can suggest anything (don't post 2023-09-21 13:54:25 +0000 UTC View Post

Aug 2023: Less Flashy Princess of Love

No flashing lights version for photosensitive ponies.

See the original here!

The 6000 kbps version looks a lot better than 2000 kbps, if your device  can play it. Webm version loops cleaner than mp4. 1000 kbps half resolution version may work if the others are too demanding.

Aug 2023: The Princess of Love

Lovebutt here needs way more love than Shining Armor could give her. The Crystal Royal Guards are happy to help, of course.

I'm really happy with the physics here. She breathes properly, and I wonder if anyone can appreciate (or notice) subtle belly physics.

The 6000 kbps version looks a lot better than 2000 kbps, if your device can play it. Webm version loops cleaner than mp4. 1000 kbps half resolution version may work if the others are too demanding.

General reply to you all + statistics

Hi,

I have gotten a load of great feedback, many of you really put effort into it (both in comments and the rating form thingy). Instead of answering each of them, I’ll make this general reply which everyone can see. Your feedback is valuable to me, and I will listen to it.

The consensus seems to be that the production value and quality are very good, and generally you are happy with it (sigh of relief).

The format of many separate scenes is a mixed bag, some like it, and ...

Pony Bounce

After you watch it, you can rate the individual scenes here.

It'll be interesting to see which scenes were the most to your liking.

The 5000 kbps version looks better than 3000 kbps, if your device can play it.

I hope it was worth the wait.

Two days.

Bear with me.

P.S. Have low expectations, and you might be surprised positively.

Still and a release estimate

Hi all,

A quick update, estimated delivery some time next month. I’m 95 % done with the animating part, but there’s still a lot to do in other departments.

I hope you’ll like it and it’s worth the wait. I know it’s been long, and I thank you for your patience. ❤️ I've already seen nightmares where I release it and everyone thinks it sucks lol.

See the attached still if you’re interested (it’s not much, trying not to spoil :p).

I also posted two other ...

Previews 4

A small preview loop and some stills for the 10 $ tier. Note that they will look a lot better in the final animation when I add some sweet fx. And no, the final one won’t be portrait :p

See a third still and some text here.

WIP previews, more previews at 10 $ tier

Have a preview loop and a still from the upcoming animation. Don’t watch if you don’t want to be spoiled. ;)

The 10 $ tier will now get occasional work in progress early previews. These previews may clip, stutter, wobble or look shit. They may not always be worth the money, but they are a little thank you for those generous people who give me extra support. I’m not sure yet how often I will post them, but I’ll aim for least once/month. For now, I posted 2023-05-09 18:32:59 +0000 UTC View Post

Previews 2

Second set of previews, just for the 10 $ tier. See the other ones here.

Don't watch if you don't want to be spoiled ;)

PC broke down, new animation info

I was installing a new graphics card on Monday and needed to reset bios settings. Apparently, that was too much for the motherboard. They don’t sell motherboards compatible with my 8700k anymore, so I’m upgrading to newer cpu and ram as well. 💸💸💸 Hopefully this will help with rendering performance too. The parts have been ordered and I’m getting my pc back on 2nd of May (less than 2 weeks).

It’s actually kind of convenient that it happened to break down just now, since ...

Gimme your OCs!

Edit: No, it's not too late! The form stays open.

Fill the form here!

Since I need ponies for minor roles, I though I might as well use yours. No promises 🙃

This is meant for Patrons only, so please don't share the link elsewhere. I will confirm every submission manually anyway.

Edit: Holy bleep 🙈 30 in an hour, send help

No animation in March, big pony animation in the works

It'll probably be more compact than the last longer animations. I estimate release by the end of April or May, but I'm not sure yet of the scope of the project.

Feb 2023: And do a little shake!

I love this pose, hope I’m not doing too much of it :O

For the best loop: open the .webm with Firefox, right click and select Loop. For some reason, Chrome and other browsers add a little pause when looping (and .mp4 doesn’t loop well on Firefox either).

On other news, I wonder if 15.ai will be online in 2023? >_> I’m running out of my pre-made lines lol.

Jan 2023: This will end in pregnancy.

Some people have noted that Hitch has been missing from my G5 animations. There. Happy?

I had so many issues getting this out, but here it finally is. The good thing about these technical issues was that I had extra time to add some details. Thank you for being patient, I hope it was worth the wait!

There are still a couple of errors that I’ll fix for public release...

Exporting issues and a little loop

You can download a little preview loop down below, skip it if you don’t wanna see spoilers. The colours are off for some reason.

Hi,

First of all sorry for the continuing delay :/

The animation has been pretty much finished for a long while, but I’m having serious trouble exporting the video, as TBH either freezes or crashes at 20-30 % progress (after hours of rendering)... I have no idea what I’ve done differently to cause this, and it’s so frustrating. For...

Release plans -> ~first half of January

Hi,

Sorry for lack of updates. It’s been a while, and the next animation is almost finished.

This will be my longest animation so far (almost 3 minutes). With a higher frame rate that means about double the number of frames to tune and render compared to the Fluttershy animation. I’m trying my best to not let that degrade quality. I really shouldn’t had timed the release for the holidays, as I’ve been too busy for a proper pre-release crunch time. I will also likely get co...

Tier pricing changes completed

So to recap: basic tier from 3 $ to 5 $, current patrons stay in for 3 $/month.

I hope I did it right, and no-one was kicked out...

No animation in October, big pony animation in November-December

It seems to me that people generally think larger animations less frequently are better than smaller animations more frequently. So here we go again! 😉 You know the drill, like with the previous bigger animations.

Basic tier 3➜5 $ for new patrons in November.

Don’t worry. If you are a patron already or join before November, you can stay in with 3 $/month! If you leave, you then need to join with 5 $ if you come back.

Idk why I feel like an asshat for doing this.

Why:

I’ve been charging 3 $ since I started on Patreon in 2018. I think my art has been worth more for a while, but I never got around to charging more. I’ve been getting steady 2000 $/month for the last two years. I’m very grateful for all of t...

Sep 2022: Starlight Jiggler

Edit: Added sound to the .mp4 version.

Hi, all

For the last week of August and in the first half of September, I took some time off to drive around Europe with my partner. A really invigorating experience! I had prepared an animation for September in advance so I wouldn’t need to worry about it. In the end I decided to leave that animation for later, since it has potential for a larger animation, and quickly did this one instead. It’s a bit rough around the e...

Aug 2022: BIG TITTY GOTH IZZY

You know, this one:

Sounds on. I'm posting a bit earlier this time because I’ll be afk for some time.

(Should had made that ear flop, goddammit.)
