Well, Sue was the clear winner of who you want to see knock someone out, but there's a five way tie for who she gets to put to sleep! Vote in the new poll here:

Survey runs till tomorrow at 12pm central time.

We've had some new patrons sign up since I posted this last week, so I figured it would be a good idea to drop a reminder that this month's animation survey runs through the fifth. With 13 entries so far there's a clear leader for who's going to knock someone out, but the race to see who get's knocked out is currently in a 4-way tie! There's 2 more days to affect the outcome!

Here's an image that I used as part of the January tutorial.

One of the other things I’m asked most often is how I do blood, bruises ans sprays of sweat for my images. This tutorial will go over the products I use in Daz Studio, and how to change the surface of a figure in Photoshop or most other image editing programs.

All right, here's the "official" first page of Razor vs. Mariana! All-in-all, I've got about 20 pages done so far, and the actual fight's about to start!
I figured it was about time to introduce the play-by-play announcers as well, which I'm sure was not what anyone expected. I look at it like this: I'm not going to be doing mixed-gender fights: I don't have anything against them, but it's not something that interests me, and I don't feel like bothering to spend money on male figures. So, if I...

The January tutorial will be delayed for a day, but in the meantime, here's the cover.

Okay, so I've got the ring the way I want it now, logo and all.
Now, here's my question: Should I go ahead and use this for the Razor/Mariana fight? I'd only have to redo three images or so, so it's not an issue of workload. The fight is supposed to be the main event of the evening, however, and paired up with the other three fights I've put up for sale as all happening on the same card... and as I'm typing this I think Ijust figured out a loophole where I can say the main event was being...

Finally took some time to create new textures for my ring and increase their detail so they'd render in something closer to HD quality. I also moved my new lights a little closer together to brighten up the perimeter

This month, I want to practice animating someone falling to the canvas, so you guys get to choose who throws the punches and who hits the deck!
Voting is open until January 5th.

Looks like I should have the first 25 seconds or so of animation done by this weekend. Here's Melly about to come out of her corner for the start of round 1.

A 10th round knockout of "Berzerker" Brigid Wagner, a fighter who works as a gatekeeper for Mariana, wearing down contenders before they get to take on the champ. Tonight she's in Mariana's corner.

My PC doesn't have the power to animate more than two people at a time without it taking a week, so I'll still have some scenes in the corner, but just with one person.

Back in town from visiting relatives, and thought I'd throw two characters together that hadn't shared any ring-time, Sue and a younger version of Mariana.

All right, I'm gonna give this a shot.
I'm looking at having a running time of 3-4 minutes, with both sound effects and music. With some of the tricks I've learned in rendering animation, I've got my current PC able to render about 2-3 seconds of animation overnight leaving me able to work on other projects during the day so I don't lose much productivity.
This isn't going to change anything else I'm working on; there's still going to be a monthly clip and weekly updates, I'll stil...
2016-12-27 01:40:00 +0000 UTC View PostI'm heading out of town to visit relatives this weekend, so I won't be able to work on any pages until I get back Monday. I think in the last three months I've taken two days away from Daz Studio, so I could probably use the break anyway.
The Sunday Update, page 21 of Gwen vs. Sylvia, is finished and scheduled to go live on Sunday morning, central U.S. time, because everyone should get to open something on Christmas, even if it's just a link!
So, Merry Christmas to all of my patron...
