You can find it on FA or e621, search Ruaidri and it should get you there.
This month's idea was an odd one, and I'm not sure I really captured either idea just right... I hope it fits in with the sort of thing you guys were looking for though. Lemme know how I did!
Screwing around with the fox model a bit, just testing how she looks in some slightly more intense poses. Good way to check for issues. Found this pose kinda fun so I rendered it out for you guys! Also, another new hairstyle option- bit of a mohawk sitch. Plus I tweaked the collar, it's now largely chain with just a little band in the front- this makes the hair clipping issue much less noticeable.
Also added in a bunch of optional ear piercings, they're just all turned on right now bu...
After a long day of working on a model I sometimes like to unwind by posing them around a bit, it's fun and can help reveal issues that need to be sorted out. Plus it's nice to have something to post to FA. This one however revealed a few too many issues that I can't quite hammer out tonight- that leg bending around the crotch area is a little iffy.
It bugs me a bit too much to post to FA, but I thought some of y'all might like it if you can ignore that. Don't be surprised if I ...
They're just gonna keep suggesting hypnolizards until I draw some, I think! Well, I hope you like 'em 'cause they're in every suggestion this month.
Whatever happens, this should satisfy them for a bit. :P
She's got fur now! Getting the customizable colours to work with fur was a real pain- at one point I hit a dead end and didn't think I'd be able to do it at all, but fortunately found a way around my issue. It's a bit hacked together, but it works. But you saw her chameleon powers in the last post, this one's about fur! I left her colours the same so we can focus on those changes.
I still have to clean some of the fur up, but I'm experimenting a bit with some mix-n-matchable fur s...
2020-01-14 20:12:28 +0000 UTC View PostI'm sorry I haven't had much to share with you guys for a while, I've been doing a lot of the BDSM stuff lately and you know the story with how that goes by now. But here's something I can finally share, and I'm kind of excited about it too! It's a little thing I've been wanting to work on for a while now, and finally have had some time to pluck away at it. See attached!
I thought it would be neat to have a sort of "Build your own" model, sort of like the character cre...
2020-01-12 08:32:49 +0000 UTC View Post'Tis that time again!
Last month, everyone who suggested something left an idea featuring hypnolizards. I included a secondary suggestion for a little variety and that ended up sneaking in the win... maybe we should make this Hypnolizard month, since it seems like a lot of you wanna see that?
Well in the end that's up to you, but if you want to toss those ideas in again this month I certainly wouldn't complain. :P Either way, let's hear what you wanna see!
Just a quick note to say that the monthly painting is done and up, for those who haven't seen it! It can be found on FA of course, and it's on e621 if you prefer- just search 'ruaidri' and it should be the latest post.
Merry Christmas folks! :3
Apparently the folks who leave me suggestions for these things have had it with the lack of hypnolizards around here, as literally every person who made a suggestion this month included them in there somewhere.
One person included two ideas for me to choose from and I'm going with the non-hypnolizard option here, just to provide some variety and an option for folks who aren't into hypno stuff. But apparently this year what everyone wants for christmas is mind control. x3
Let...
Posted quite a few random things lately so just in case it got missed, I still need those holiday ideas for this month's painting!

So here are both models, finished up. Will begin animating in the next day or two!
Funny story though, after I sent this picture over the commissioner took one look and started wondering if maybe the horse is a little too big for the fox. x3 He'd definitely be scrambling some organs if he shoves it in there.
So after a little chatting he decided we'd be shortening it quite a bit, the horse won't be so huge in the final animation, but I'll leave this picture with you to use you...
Been steadily working away at this guy. He's got his fur and hair on now- so have another WIP! He's damn near finished, just need to make some final adjustments, and add texture details to fleshy areas and hooves and stuff like that. Soon time to be animating though, we're getting there!
Don't know how the hell I'm going to fit that log into a little fox, but we'll figure that out when the time comes I guess.
So I recently finished up the process of upgrading my PC for this whole rendering thing. New graphics card, new cpu, the whole shebang. One of the first things I upgraded was the amount of ram I have, but as I was getting the last few tidbits I thought to myself "Eh, it ain't that expensive, toss in some more!" so I did. That came in today so I got it all installed and wanted to give it a test drive, see how much I could get away with now.
Turns out, if I do a little bit of optimizati...
Another WIP, part of the same commission as the previous model. This one's a little further along, the fur needs finishing touches and tweaks but he's starting to look decent. This is the guy who's gonna get stuffed full of horse in an animation, down the road. Stockings are very early rough stuff, needs lots of fixing.
Before anyone asks, he's got no balls. I'm not into it myself, but not bothered by it enough to turn down the work, so I went ahead with it. Should still turn into a d...
Here's a WIP of a model I'm making for someone as a commission. He's in the mid stages right now, so he's missing some bits (like the hair and tail, and obviously fur in general), he can move around but all the joints need their corrective shape keys and he can't do facial expressions much yet, and I haven't worked in physics yet so his balls are sticking out at a weird angle instead of hanging down, but I just got the A-OK on his appearance and I think he's coming along well, so I thought I'...
2019-12-04 16:30:46 +0000 UTC View PostWell, we've all made it to December alive, which means it's time once again for another holiday themed painting! Gimme those holiday themed ideas, let's hear what ya got!
I don't care specifically what you ask for, but do try to work in some holiday stuff somewhere. Some reindeer or some christmas lights or some sexy santa outfit or something. :P
Got a new CPU in yesterday, so I've spent the last day or so fiddling with it to see what I can get it to do. Now that it's more or less settled I decided to do a quick fluid sim to test it out a bit. See attached. Just some magically appearing fluids hitting a randomly spinning object to throw it around a bit. Nothing terribly sexy I'm afraid!
Anyway, this is definitely a step up over what I had before! Now this was just a quick little sim, but it still baked out pretty fast, and rende...
2019-11-30 18:15:13 +0000 UTC View PostWinner this month- the small dom/big sub! Once again I can't post it here due to it's content, but it's up on both FA and e621. On FA just check your latest submissions, and on e621 just search "ruaidri" and it should be the first result.
It's a little janky and a touch rough in spots but I hope y'all like it. :3
Just a quickie update to show what I've been up to. Been plucking away at the dragon model- it's been a real challenge, I had to do some massive tweaking to my rig to make it suit a feral critter (and I'm still not sure I even like what I have for it), and I experimented with a ton of different ways of adding texture to the guy, still not certain I like what I've done there either. It's been tough! Hell, I'm still making plenty of tweaks to the actual base model too, nothing here is final.
We're seeing some returning ideas this month, as well as a few new ones. Some interesting stuff here, there was definitely a bit of excitement driven up by some of these suggestions so it'll be interesting to see what wins!

In my recent question (gryphon/dragon) most people seemed to have a preference for dragon, and I was already leaning a bit in that direction myself... well, due to some poor work management I have a little bit of time with nothing to do, so I started making it!
As usual, with no colour and texture things look kinda weird. It's always super hard to tell how the face in particular is going to look, it just always looks creepy without colour and texture. I spent the bette...

I've added her colours and fur, and in the process made an absolute ton of tweaks to her body shape and such. Still a lot of work and cleanup to do, some areas are giving me trouble... and as usual, at this point I need to add specific materials for skin and nails and such, but she's coming along.
Just a little update, for those of you interested in such things! Always curious to know your thoughts, if you've got any!
Also, while I'm here. I'm thinking of giving another g...
I know I said this elsewhere, but I feel it's worth repeating- syandene is the first model I ever successfully finished, but I still had a lot to learn at that point so as a result she's kind of a mess. I've been wanting to update her model so I could feel better about using her in future stuff. So that's what I'm doing!
Dunno if you're too interested in this sort of thing, but I figured the comparison might be fun.
Here you can see the old on the left, new on ...
I can't post it here because... y'know. Patreon. But you all probably know where to find it!
I'm not great at character design, or fierce spooky things, but I tried to make something that at least looks kinda neat? I dunno. But I hope ya like it!
I suggested some slightly more halloweeny ideas this month, for obvious reasons... here's what we came up with!
As always, poll space is very limited but I'll do my best to get the gist of each idea.
Got his fur on! It's doing a bit of weirdness here and there that'll need sorting out, and I've also got to add things like proper materials for the fleshy bits and claws and such, but he's getting near done at this point.
Now, what to do with him...
It's working! Mwhahaha!
Made some improvements to the physics, think I got 'em behaving pretty well. Lookit dem balls bounce.
Also, here's a sneak peek at what I'm thinking, colour wise. Still tweaking and adjusting colours, but something like dis. Kinda aiming for something like a dark clouded leopard. What do ya think?
I think I figured out how the secret sauce to testicle physics! It's been a major source of difficulty in rigging male characters up to now, I couldn't get physics to work and manually animating them is a nightmare. It's a tricky area, in such a tight space there's a lot of stuff to bump into and squish around and stuff. It's just too much to animate by hand but I couldn't get physics to work... until now I think!
I've got lots of tweaking of settings to make collision look better, rig...
