Hrm, this place seems familiar.
Feel like I've seen it somewhere before. What do you suppose happens in a place like this? :P

To The Hilt - Alternate Version
An alternate version of a mini-animation I just posted over on FA. The creation of this animation happened to result in two versions, and personally I like the zoomed out one a little bit more so I thought I'd actually give you guys some unique content for once. Sorta. Slightly. x3

(If you don't animate in blender, you can skip this one, there's not much here for you, besides a little gif of Chase. But hey, look, it's Chase! Isn't he a pretty boy? Lookit' him, bein' all pretty. Okay bye non-animators see you next time.)
Hey there! I, uh, got a little distracted. I'm working on the monthly painting, honest! It's drawn and inked and ready for painting, but after some chatting with Sen about automating those little eye-darts because they're annoying to animate manua...
August Mini-Animation - Vote!
Sorry I haven't been able to do much animating lately... don't ignore the warning signs of carpal tunnel or other RSI injuries 'cause holy crap that shit'll mess you up for a while. Hope you've been enjoying the flood of flat colour stuff in it's stead though. :P Fortunately my arm is feeling much better lately and I might be able to slowly start dipping back into animating a bit more regularly soon... starting with this month's mini-animation!
Here's the suggestions we've got!
August Painting - Vote!
Alrighty, here's what we got this month!
There's, uh, a bit of a theme going on with a good chunk of the suggestions. Will be interesting to see where this goes. :P
If you need a refresher on any mentioned characters (all two of them, hah)

Last call for this month's suggestions! We've got a few new additions you can all play with, including a few that are pretty last second so you might want to give a skim and see if any catch your interest: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/40419609/
The model list has been updated to include Kaytu, Jessie and Mishu, and for the painting, the wolf wife is also a newish option: 2023-08-14 15:30:53 +0000 UTC

Workin' Girl (needs name)
I have told several people recently that I couldn't do 3D related things for them because my arm is still messed up and I really shouldn't be doing 3D right now. My apologies to those people. :P It wasn't a lie, I really shouldn't have been doing 3D. But I got the idea try hair using my nodes setup and it's been gnawing away at me and I've been telling people I would experiment with learning to make hair for ages, so I couldn't resist and finally caved to my urge to try, very slowly ...

Even though they're at the same tier now, I decided to split the posts back up again just 'cause it makes it easier for me to keep track. :P
Put your mini-animation ideas here! As always there's a three character limit, and keep your suggestions short, you've got 140 characters to fit into the poll's text area, if you go over that I will have to remove things! Also keep the suggestions fairly simple, these are very short so there's not a lot of room for development, think of them...
August Painting Suggestions!
I hope you all enjoyed the results of last month's vote! I do think a nice summer beach scene is just what I needed right about then. Good vibes. :D
But that's in the past, time to think about what we're doing this month! Here's a link to most of my characters: https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/ruaidri/folder/1209052/Ref-Sheets

Alright, name ze boy
The generic nobody fox I created for a one-off comic idea has turned into a bit of a 'thing', so uh, I guess it's time to give him the name treatment. He was quickly slapped together from existing model bits for comic making purposes so he'll need some work before he's ready for a proper animation, but he's good enough to use for a ref sheet at least. I even whipped up a quick little wedding ring for him. :D In fact, might as well name wolf-wife while we're at it. Especially because if I keep...

Also this is completely unrelated, but in case you missed it, my recent vote about whether or not to include chastity in a thing was for that mini-comic I'm working on, ended up putting the fox boy in a cage since the chastity vote won. It hasn't been super ...
Reminder: Suggestions!
Quick reminder, get your suggestions in for the monthly stuff if you haven't yet! Going to be putting up the votes in a day or two and there's a surprisingly small amount of suggestions thus far.
Also keep in mind you get to make two separate suggestions now, one for a painting and one for a mini looping animation.

Comic Page Breakdown
I know the content isn't to everyone's tastes, but I still figured you might be interested in seeing the process I've been using to make these comic pages lately! It starts by just getting a sense for what I want to show this page and how I'm going to lay everything out. Once I've got a solid sense of what's going to go where and what the panels will roughly be shaped like, I go about creating the poses in blender and rendering them out in three separate layers, one with just the background, ...
2023-07-11 18:32:38 +0000 UTC View PostChastity
I am toying with making... a thing. This thing may never come to exist, but it also might. Said thing has the potential to involve chastity as a minor component, but doesn't necessarily need it. I can't decide. No further explanation will be given.
Chastity, yes or no? :P
Painting/Mini-Anim suggestions!
Sorry, forgot to set the tiers properly before posting. :P
Oh this is nice, now that they're both on the same tier I only have to make one journal for this. :D
It's the suggestions post for July! Y'all already know what to do for the paintings, but the mini-animations are new so let me explain a bit; "mini-animations" are what I call the short looping animations you've probably seen me make a bunch of by now. Suggestions for the mini-animations should be similar to the...

June Animation - Vote!
First off, I'd like to take a second to thank you all for the kind and supportive words when I recently announced I'd be downscaling the animations after this one. I wanted to respond to them all but there was a heck of a lot of you and it got a bit overwhelming, haha. In a good way, but still. So yeah, thanks! Hopefully this leads to even more interesting things in the future. As soon as my arm stops being stupid. x3 Anyway, here's the suggestions we got for this month's animation. Vot...

We've got to talk.
Guys... I'm tired. I am very tired, hah. I think it's time to make a change!
When I originally set up my animation suggestions stuff here, it was intended to just be quick little things I could whip out in a day. Just a fun lil' extra. But I can't seem to help myself, I want to make satisfying animations so the work involved has ballooned out to these massive, week or more long endeavors. I thought I could at least limit it by keeping things simple when three characters are involved b...
It's comin'
Marble out for a walk in the woods. You know what happens next...
Gonna be a bit late because I'm slow, so I figured I'd give a sneak peek/heads up. The monthly stuff is on it's way! Rendering now, should be done in a day or two, barring severe issues discovered while rendering.
Horse Name Vote!
Just for the fun of it, here's an updated view. Made a few tweaks. I think I made the skin a little too dark... and now that he's overall smaller I think his hands are a touch too big. On the positives side, got that flowy porn star hair going now, took me surprisingly long to realize that's part of why he didn't look right, hah. Gettin' there, gettin' there!
Anyway, names. Here's the ones I l...
Alright, name this idiot
Just finished the big YCH over on FA, and have a few days to mess around with before having to start on the monthly anim/painting, so I decided to make some tweaks to the horse model to make him more aligned with the horse from The Fluffer, because I'm going to need that at some point in the near future because... reasons. Not too massive in terms of changes, just slimmed him down a bit, made him a little friendlier looking, changed his bits colour. I think the hoof fluff might also have to g...

Kaytu, the Giant Brown Hyena Thing
Sorry guys; just wasn't feeling any of your name suggestions. Not sure why, this is definitely a me problem not a you problem. So instead we get one of my stupid names, unfortunately. :P
But hey, at least the man himself ain't half bad I think. Big fluffy heyna beast. Here's the ref I whipped up!
New guy, needs name.
I did that thing again where I had a few days of free time and decided to cram a model into that space instead of doing anything relaxing.
I like small girly things. As a result, I make a ton of small girly things. As a result of that, my roster is absolutely packed full of small girly things, and sorely lacking big buff boy things. So for literally no reason other than that, I decided to make a new big buff boy thing. I kinda had a vague personality in mind when I set out to...
