"The Saboteur" Release

Hey all! I know it's been a minute since my last render, but today I'm excited to share with you... my first Ada Wong render! I had mentioned in the previous update I was going to keep the model choice a surprise, but hopefully Ada is a welcome one. Since Ada's well known for her signature red dresses, I've also included a red dress variant with this render release :)

Sorry for the delay on this. Life has been keeping me busy lately on top of not feeling well, as I've mentioned in prev...

Updated Bugatti WIPs

Hey all! Just wanted to give you a quick update. I unfortunately fell ill shortly after my last post and have been sick the past few days. But despite feeling unwell, I did manage to carve out a bit of time where I was able to concentrate enough to finish polishing the Bugatti. I hope you enjoy these quick demo shots!

For those of you with sharp eyes (or maybe you just spend a bit of time studying the WIPs), you might notice some noise on the tire rims in some of the angles, but don't ...

Next Project WIPs and Life Update

Hey all!

Let me start off by apologizing for the radio silence and lack of content so far this month. I decided to take some time at the start of this year to deal with various personal obligations that had been piling up. In recent months, I've been focusing all of my spare time on Blender, and, as a result, my "to do" list of things that needed taken care was starting to get far too long. My life was reaching a tipping point where the weight of all the obligations I needed to take ca...

Quick Update on MEGA Archive Files

I was reviewing the MEGA archive and realized I had neglected to upload the boiler room pinups with Claire Redfield. I've fixed that oversight and added the render folder for that project to the MEGA archive :)

2022 Year in Review

Here's a look back at some of my favorite renders from 2022! Three of my selections were made from back before I added DaVinci Resolve Studio to my workflow for post-processing, so, as an added bonus, I retouched/re-post-processed those renders :)

So, they're not exactly "new content," but the three updated renders are Anticipation (wallpaper variant), No Fate but What We Make, and Welcome to the City of the Dead (first, second, and seventh images, respective...

Christmas 2022 Render Release

What would you like to unwrap first?

Here's a holiday render with Claire Redfield for you all to enjoy; both dyed hair and brunette variant :)

This render doesn't have any particular title, so I simply decided to label it "Christmas 2022." If you're curious, the background setting is Castle Dimitrescu from Resident Evil 8/Village. The tree and lights are custom added, of course :)

As usual, the embedded images in this post are the lower resolution (4K) versions (...

"Melancholy" — Brunette Variant Release

For the canon hair enjoyers, here's a brunette version of Melancholy ;)

I've also updated the MEGA archive with this variant, of course. The embedded image in this post is the 4K version; the MEGA archive has both 4K and 8K :)

"Melancholy" Release

Claire misses you; don't keep her waiting too long ;)

I've added my most recent render, Melancholy, to the watermark-free MEGA archive!

This render was inspired by the recent Hades sequel announcement, which you might've guessed from the flavor text. If you're not familiar with Hades and didn't get the reference, you can Google "Hades In the...

More WIPs and a Small Update

I decided to take a few additional days since the last update to spend some time working on assets/scenes/models. Here's a few WIPs I'd like to share with you all :)

WIP 1) A nice bedroom interior scene. To be honest, I'm not quite sure what I'm actually going to do with this yet; I've just been wanting to build out my asset library with interior scenes like this for awhile now. If you remember from one of the recent updates, I mentioned stuff like this was in the works as part of upda...

Update and What's Next

Hey all :)

I've been taking the past few days since I released the wallpaper variant of After the Club to think on what ideas I want to work on next. After some thought, I've come up with several different project ideas that excite me. Most of the ideas I want to explore will involve working with assets I've never used before and will also require me to develop new Blender skill sets (which will require spending time watching and practicing tutorials). So, I can't say how soon...

"After the Club" — Wallpaper Variant Release

I've added a wallpaper variant of After the Club to the watermark-free MEGA archive!

Sorry for the delay on this; I know I said in the previous post that "I should have this render done and published fairly soon," but reorganizing, cataloging, and updating my entire Blender asset library (which I also talked about briefly in the previous post) took longer than I anticipated.

I originally thought I would have this render done fairly quickly because my initial plan ...

Quick Update and Next Render Teaser

Sorry for the lack of updates/content since the MKX Mileena variant release of Fight On; I've been incredibly busy lately and under a lot of stress dealing with some personal obligations. My free time has been very limited, and when I do finally find some, I often struggle to put myself in the right mindset for being creative and working in Blender.

So, in light of my current situation, I've decided to work on something that will be relatively quick, simple, and enjoyable — ...

Public Announcement — Taking the Discord Server Public

Hey all :)

Due to recent events and the current uncertainty surrounding Twitter's stability and longevity, I've decided to take the Discord public.

When I originally launched the private, supporters-only Discord alongside my Patreon page, my intent was to reward supporters with "a little something extra" while also avoiding the headaches that come with having a public Discord server (e.g., spam and scam bots, random people wandering in and causing issues, etc.).

However, ...

"Fight On" — MKX Mileena Variant Release

I've added a MKX Mileena variant of my most recent render, Fight On, to the watermark-free MEGA archive! I also included a bonus stylized monochromatic version, like I did for MK9 Mileena and the UMK3 outfit variant :)

Soooooo, yeah. This was just supposed to be a "quick variant," but I'm not really one to put out low-quality or half-finished content. At least, not deliberately lol

By the time I finished, this ended up being the most heavily sculpted render I've do...

Public Announcement — Subscription Billing Is Live!

I've updated my Patreon to subscription billing so potential supporters no longer have to worry about timing their pledges to avoid double billing or to maximize the value of their pledges :)

In other words, supporters will be billed upon pledging ("charge up front" is on), and then every 30~ days from that date.

I will still be generating a fresh MEGA archive link at the start of each month, since that's the schedule I'm on. So, if it affects your decision to subscribe, support...
