November 2024 ZSE Presets Poll Winner

Thanks for voting! This month's ZSE poll winner is...

Rainbow Mika [Street Fighter V] (G8F by Shinteo)

My favorite Street Fighter character! And a bit of a tough project considering her hair is mostly on the head texture and not an actual mesh. But I think I have a good solution for that– you'll see. ;)

Look forward to the presets pack coming soon!

Image Release: HW Zelda MCP

[Full resolution, non-watermarked images now available in the art archives]

The Guardian of Time's romantic feelings for Link, the Hero of Hyrule, formed the perfect loose thread for unraveling the balance of the Triforce. A long-imprisoned fragment of darkness under the Guardian's watch began to whisper and bargain. In time, the dark one convinced the Guardian that her love for the Hero's soul would not remain unrequited if the Hero's connection to Hyrule's Princess were severed. And though the dark one planned to twist the Guardian's desire until she was torn into two more malleable halves, the Guardian of Time's intact soul proved just as easily manipulated. They set out together to establish their new order.

With the corrupted Guardian's assistance, the darkness reclaimed its own soul's fragments from across time and assembled an army to draw out the Hero and the Princess, the wielders of the Triforce of Courage and Triforce of Wisdom respectively. The Hero's retrieval of the Master Sword to oppose this new threat inadvertently freed the final fragment of the dark one's soul from the sword's seal. The Demon King was physically reborn. Ganondorf quickly seized the Triforce of Power and summoned legions of monsters which overwhelmed the forces of light in a disastrous rout at Hyrule Field. Link battled bravely as his allies fell around him, but Hyrule's legendary hero was eventually defeated and stripped of his divine weapon as well as the Triforce of Courage. No longer a threat to Ganondorf's ambition, Link was taken away by the Guardian to become her eternal lover in a timeless paradise realm where he would never again need to reincarnate.

Princess Zelda was forced to retreat in order to keep the Triforce of Wisdom from immediately falling into the Demon King's hands. Yet it wasn't long before Ganondorf and his army approached her at Hyrule Castle. This time, however, he arrived with a strange offer of armistice rather than any intent to conquer. In exchange for her hand in marriage, the Demon King pledged, Zelda needn't relinquish control of the Triforce of Wisdom or fear for her people's safety: Hyrule and the entire realm would be united under their joint, just rule. Highly skeptical of his intentions but out of options to oppose him, a desperate Zelda accepted his terms. They were wed within the week in a grand ceremony that demonstrated the new King's penchant for decadence and material, hedonistic pleasures. True to his word, her power remained in her possession and her people remained safe. In reality, the final objective of Ganondorf's plans lay behind the closed doors of their new bed chamber as the time came to consummate their bond.

The King brought his royal bride by the hand into the comfort of luxurious sheets and candlelight. He touched and tasted every bit of her fair, voluptuous form with a surprising tenderness that comforted and aroused his Queen in a way she never thought possible. He was powerful but gentle, dominant yet giving. She moaned louder and shook stronger while his ravenous mouth was nestled in the valley between her smooth thighs and his rugged hands massaged her soft sides. Before long, the Queen's arms and legs were wrapped around her King's hulking body, her fingernails digging into his dark skin, as he claimed her maidenhead and thrusted away inside her with deep, full-weighted strokes. They made fierce, furious love well into the night, all through a seemingly endless flow of muscle-seizing orgasms that smeared their hot, sweat-slick bodies against one another. When the King, panting and sore, pushed himself up and off her, the Queen lay twitching and dazed, her husband's thick white cum painting her rosy skin and flowing freely from her worn sex.

In time, Ganondorf's seed would take and Zelda's belly would swell with child. And then again, and then again. Three loyal half-Gerudo daughters of Courage, Wisdom, and Power would wield the full power of the Triforce together in the Demon King's stead and impose his will on the world as he always planned, creating a new dark legend that would cycle through the ages with the new royal bloodline of Hyrule.

...So that was a really long, corny story to set up the fact that everybody was FUCKIN', huh? Sorry, but my writer/roleplayer instincts took over again and I blacked out.

Would you believe that the whole "magical time spirit is disastrously horny for Link" idea is from the actual story of Hyrule Warriors, though? She gets split into two equally thirsty hot girls. Bravo, Team Ninja.

Anyway, I wanted to do a "canonical" alternate version of this with Link at one point, but this is supposed to be like a bad end/nightmare scenario in the spirit of Halloween and I really wanted to finish it before the actual holiday. There's also already an endless supply of good, similarly vanilla Link x Zelda stuff out there, so I don't think it's a huge loss?

What if I showed you what the adult daughters look like instead? 🤔 The thought crossed my mind as I was writing, and I do have some ideas for a trio of sexy Gerudo ladies. Let me know if that would interest you guys ;)

Enjoy!

Zoey [Left 4 Dead] (G8F by Shinteo)

A four-way tie this month?!

This is the sort of thing I generally try to avoid with the polls and another big reason why I was recently considering changing the system. The majority did vote against that however. Still, it does feel kinda unfortunate to use RNG to break a tie with this many potential winners. Maybe I can do another bonus release as a consolation? If you guys are really interested.

Low-tier scrubs rise up. Who needs patch buffs or popularity when you have funny character?

I should probably do more stuff for SF6 characters that would actually be, like, release-able? Maybe more fighting game characters in general. I do have quite a few packs for more recent fighting game characters, but they're all for $15-25 models which makes things a little awkward.

This was the first Mario girl that I decided to work on, but she's being released after my packs for Peach and Daisy. Funny how that worked out.

Anyway, same caveats as my releases for CPDAZ's Odyssey Peach and Tennis Aces Daisy.

  • The skin is Iray Uber since the source material isn't so detailed

  • The original G8F eyes don't play very nice even with my preset for them. So plan to pose the eyes last and stick to simple cartoonish expressions using face bone controls where necessary.

NOTE: this pack is NOT CONFIRMED to work with the recent Pauline release from CPDAZ as I lack access to that model at the moment and thus cannot try it for myself. But it DOES appear that my presets may be compatible based on the striking similarity to the CCAP port? I do recall that CPDAZ took over some of CCAP's projects in the past while they were sick.

If anyone can provide me the CPDAZ model for testing, I would be happy to update this pack with compatibility for the CPDAZ version if they're mostly similar.

If you have any issues with the included resources, please let me know. Thanks!

As voted on by patrons in the September 2024 monthly ZSE pack poll. Thanks for your support!

First, the caveats–

  • The skin is Iray Uber since the source material isn't so detailed

  • The original G8F eyes don't play very nice even with my preset for them. So plan to pose the eyes last and stick to simple expressions using face bone controls where necessary.

On top of wanting to show my love for this iconic character, I also wanted to pay a little tribute to the late Mr. Toriyama in my own way. Just thinking about his passing earlier this year still makes me tear up a little to be honest with you all.

So, in addition to the presets for the figure as I usually provide, I've included presets for the full costume as well as 4 color presets for Bulma's hair and eyebrows based on her appearance over the years in the Dragon Ball anime and manga, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball Super. I hope you guys enjoy the extra goodies.

If you have any issues with the included resources, please let me know. Thanks!

Image Release: Mother Gothel MCP

[Full-res images + raws now available in the art archives]

Plap plap plop plup plap...

Glrk gck ghk GRRRK glck glck...

"Fuck, I'm gonna..."

Suddenly, Gothel's free hand slipped between the thighs of the man on her left. The pointed tips of her painted nails grazed along the round of his backside before her fingers spread and clamped down around his rear for a strong, steadying grip. It kept him in place even as his muscles tightened and his hips wavered. Gothel swallowed all he had to offer, staring up visibly unfazed but still somehow... eager. Ravenous. She wanted every last drop down her throat. And for him to watch her swallow it all like just another mouthful of her wine.

Her pale eyes flicked back to her right. A half-dozen more men stroking themselves, quietly and anxiously awaiting their own turns with her flawless, ageless body. The night was still young; she still needed more.

I'm sorry, everyone. I wanted to do another summer series pic like the others, but... horny.

Gothel is a low-key favorite Disney villain of mine in terms of looks (at least as far as her "young" version) and I really wanted to make something a little more hardcore.

But I do have some good news! I like her enough to do more with her, so you guys will probably get a summer series pic with her too. :D

Enjoy!

VOTE NOW: The Future of Bonus Polls

TL;DR - Do you want to...

A) Keep the current poll system (2 normal polls + 2 bonus polls)

B) Simplify it to 1 weighted poll for Monthly Images and 1 weighted poll for Monthly ZSE packs (higher tiers have their votes doubled at the end)

C) Abolish bonus votes– do 1 simple poll for Images and 1 simple poll for ZSE packs, and unlock commission discounts or another perk for the $2 and $5 tiers

Vote and comment with your feedback! I might try a simpler poll system in September.

________________

Hi, everyone!

For the past couple of years, one of the perks for the higher tiers on my page has been allowing them to vote twice in polls. My intention was that higher tiers ($2 and $5) could put 2 votes toward their preferred options vs. lower tiers ($1 and $3) only being able to put 1 vote toward theirs.

How I've handled this is by running two separate polls: one Standard poll open to all paid tiers and one Bonus poll available to the higher tiers. This is to give 1 ballot for the lower tiers and 2 ballots for the higher tiers for the same contest.

For reference, the winner each month has been whichever model/character had the HIGHEST TOTAL # OF VOTES between the two polls.

________________

THE PROBLEM(?)

I've noticed that some options get way more votes in the Bonus poll, where fewer people vote, even though you'd expect equal or fewer votes for each option compared to the Standard poll, where more people will vote. This has happened several times including in this month's poll, which I'll use as an example.

Mother Gothel won the August Image Poll with 6 total votes while Lois Lane and Kimiko tied for second with 4 total votes. But take a look at the vote split for MAWS Lois Lane.

Lois had only 1 vote in the August Image Poll vs. 3 votes in the Bonus August Image Poll. The higher tier patrons who voted for her in the Bonus poll generally didn't vote for her in the Standard poll.

In my mind, there are a few explanations for this

1. People don't know that the winner is whoever had the highest combined total between the two polls, and they only voted in one poll when they could have voted in two

2. People don't know that both polls are multiple-choice and that they could have voted for Lois Lane on both

3. People just felt like splitting their votes for whatever reason. Maybe they decided they might want Lois when the Bonus poll unlocked, but they forgot/didn't bother to go back to vote for her twice. Maybe someone voted for Gothel twice but Lois only once since Lois was their second favorite.

No matter the reason why, it makes me think that I could make these polls a LOT simpler for you guys. So here's my proposal.

________________

A POTENTIAL SOLUTION

Instead of running 2 Character Image polls and 2 ZSE polls every month, I could run 1 of each and weigh the results based on your tiers' voting power.

• $1 Art tier = vote is worth 1

• $2 Art+ tier = vote is worth 2

• $3 Resources Only tier = vote is worth 1

• $5 Art+ & Resources tier = vote is worth 2

So when each poll concludes:

1. I download the results and export them to a calculator in Excel

2. I apply 2x multipliers to the votes from higher tiers ($2 and $5)

3. I declare a winner based on the newly weighted results and show you the data for transparency

Here's what it would look like if I did this with the August Character Image Poll.

The main problem with this is that it makes your votes less flexible.

For example, if Option A in a poll was your favorite character but you might like B as a consolation, you couldn't give 2 votes to A and 1 vote to B so that you support both but prioritize A over B. But I don't know how common that situation really is.

You also won't be able to see who's actually in the lead until it's over and I display the results because the multiplier won't be visible to you when you vote.

________________

THE OTHER POTENTIAL SOLUTION

I can remove the bonus vote perks from the $2 and $5 tiers and offer commission discounts

I'd consider this one the extreme option, haha. But if you guys would like it, we could simplify the polls to 1 for Images and 1 for ZSE pack and leave it at that.

$2 and $5 tier patrons would receive a different perk in the future.

________________

I would really appreciate everyone's feedback on this. That includes Free members! You can vote and comment below with your thoughts on the issue.

I'll keep this up for at least the rest of this month and consider trying out a new system for September if you guys don't strongly dislike changing the system.

Image Release: Aunt Cass MCP

[Full-res images + raws now available in the art archives]

"Hey, good-lookin'! How about you grab a beer and kick back with me? I'm off today, and my boys are out of town for the weekend. 

Oh? You've been to the Lucky Cat? Can't say I remember your face, but I'm glad you loved my macarons. Maybe you could stop by later and help me out with making some homemade banana cream pies for Monday's special..."

-----

If I had a nickel for every time we got an insanely hot mom figure in a 3D animated Disney superhero film, 2 nickels, weird that it happened twice, etc.

Though I think Cass being a cool aunt type sets her apart from Helen quite a bit just going by their archetypes. She's exactly the kind of confident cougar you could chill and drink with, and that's the vibe I went for here for this latest installment of this Disney summer series. :)

Speaking of Helen, that bonus XXX set with her is coming soon! Got delayed with this month being crazy busy, but I'm putting the finishing touches on those now.

Sorry, I had to. Now let's talk about the model a bit. 

This is in fact the Genesis 8 mesh we're working with here, not a prop head on a G8 body. If you're not aware, an extremely cartoonish, non-photorealistic face shape like this can really deform the eyes and facial features which makes it really hard/annoying to pose in Daz Studio.

On top of the new textures and shader settings for the G8F eyes, I've added a pose + shaping preset which puts them into as close to a neutral, workable position as I could get them. I'd recommend manual face bone posing over expression sliders/morphs as much as possible and generally sticking to expressions that Peach makes in the games so you're not constantly fighting deformation and other jank.

With that out of the way, here's a couple last things to note.

  • The earring preset is a shader preset which means you can add it to any object. Including replacement earrings, which you'll probably want to do with sphere primitives parented to her ears to replace the wonky, polygonal earrings that she comes with. If you don't know how to make primitives, check this out really quick.

  • The skin is also just Iray Uber since Peach doesn't really need PBRSkin's details. If anyone out there wants a PBRSkin conversion, though, I can prepare that. Just shoot me a message to make your interest known.

If you have any issues with the included resources, please let me know. Thanks!
