October Animation Teaser

I wanted to get a nice early start on this animation so I'd have lots of time to get it finished in time for the holiday, especially since I like to save the painting for after the animation so I can work on that while the animation renders and cut down on dead time... but I may have vastly overshot it. Animation is already finished and ready for rendering! Oh well, lets me take a little break before working on the painting with plenty of time leftover to get it done for halloween I guess. 2022-10-23 00:58:45 +0000 UTC View Post

Vote - Silver Fox's Name!

Tossed in a picture for reference, and to show the tweaks I've made since we last saw him; a few little colour changes, and added in more white flecks of fur throughout his whole body. I think he's getting pretty close to where I want him now!

As you've probably noticed, I can't be arsed to name my characters half the time, to the point where a lot of them don't have names, so I'm going to co...

New guy, needs name.

So, I've had this silly idea floating around in my head for the last few weeks. I'm certain I'm not the first person to think of this, but y'know the term "Silver fox", to refer to an older guy who's starting to go grey but still absolutely slays it? I thought it might be a fun idea to have a silver fox... silver fox.

Now, a normal artist would probably just do a few doodles and call it a day, but after finishing the last model I did as a commission a few days ago, because I'm an insa...

Apologies if you're getting multiple alerts here. First time was my fault, second one patreon glitched out on. Hopefully it works this time?

Whoops, forgot to switch it to allow voting for multiple options again. Sorry about that. Still annoyed they changed the default mode, heh. 

Anyway, here's what we've got this month, for real this time!

Get suggestions in, closing soon!

As October suggestions tend to be hallween-y in nature, I'm going to see if I can work up the energy to get these ones done in time for the event, so to that end I'm gonna be closing a little early, probably by the end of tomorrow, so get your ideas in!

September Animation is up!

You'll find it in the usual places, just search my name on FA, e621 or FN and it should pop right up. Thanks for your patience with me taking a little longer to get this done while I recovered. :3

October Animation Suggestions!

...aaand here's the animation post. Don't think we strictly need to stick to halloween themes here, since I don't have costumes ready-made for my models and making fancy costumes is a bit outside the scope of these animations. But if you can think of a way to fit the theme in without dress-up, by all means!

Here's the list of available models if you need a reference: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/40419609/...

October Painting Suggestions!

Last month's animation is rendering away, and normally I'd wait until that was done and up to put up suggestions posts but where we're a bit late, might as well do it now.   

Being October, I think we should stick to some fun halloween themes. And please be gentle, I'm still recovering. x3

Here's most of my characters, if you need a reference: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/40419609/ &nb...

Just a heads up

Things are being worked on! Expect an animation featuring a toob stuck in a tube soon-ish (Nidhala finds the situation very amusing). Progress was a bit slow at first in the early stages of recovery, but I'm starting to get back up to speed now and should have this done and ready to start rendering soon!

September Painting is up!

Quick heads up for those of you who haven't seen it, the painting for this month is up on both FA and e621. Also, I have a bad habit of forgetting that not everyone over here comes from FA, so if you haven't heard I had gallbladder surgery recently and I'm still recovering from that! I could handle the painting because I did it digitally so I could work on it on my tablet while comfortably laying back on the couch, but the animation might be a ways out from now because I'm not really ready to...

Alright, got quite a few suggestions for you this month! Will be exciting to see how this one goes down.

A little Gale model update.

For some time now, I've been thinking about Gale here, and how he seems to be a fairly popular character and yet rarely seems to make it into the monthly animation suggestions. There could be any manner or reasons for why this is, but I couldn't help but feel like part of it is because his model kinda blew chunks.

It was originally made as a tweaked recolour of one of the bondagefoxes, even though their anatomy wasn't really accurate to how Gale should look, because at the time my oth...

And here's the post for the animations. Once again, here's my list of models available for animating if you need a refresher: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/40419609/

And why the heck not, here they are arranged in height-order: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/48639804/

September Painting - Suggestions!

Whelp, last month fuckin' blew. Let's hope this month goes a little smoother. Let's start it off right; with a bunch of filthy ideas about what I'll be painting this month!

Gonna press pause on the failed hunt stuff again; the fans got it twice in a row, we can do something else for a bit, seems fair right? Right.

As always, suggestions can involve any of my characters, and/or generics, and keep your suggestions short and to the point, I can only fit 140 characters
in the p...

August monthly stuff is up!

As ever, can't post directly here, but search me up on e6 and both the latest posts should be right up top. I hope y'all like 'em!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go lay down. :|

Just a lil' update

Animation is on it's way. Have an early screenshot.

Feeling kinda crummy so it took me a while, and this one might be a bit more rougher around the edges than they already usually are, but the dramatically filthy show must go on.

The painting for this month will come... eventually. When I'm feeling up for it. Feeling okay at the moment so I might be able to get a start on it soon, but we'll see!

Ferret Name Vote!

The gif is unrelated, I just thought you might like to see it. :D

This should be the final ferret vote! Here are a smattering of the names I liked for her- which one should we go with?

Fluffy Ferret - and gimme name suggestions!

Felt pretty good today so I hopped on and got to work on fluffin' up that ferret. She's got her fur in place and I think she's starting to look real nice now! Hipperchonklo suggested she have some glasses, and to be honest I was kind of thinking the same thing, so on they go. I've also never made glasses before, and while these are super duper simple it was still fun! They also give a little spice to an otherwise fairly plain design. Though I don't think that's a negative, I quite like relati...

The ferret has colours!

Realistic colours won the vote pretty handily, so realistic it is! I did some ferreting-out of ferret colours and there's a pretty wide variety, but I found myself drawn to this sort of pinky-browny-tany colour, so I ran with it. Her design isn't supposed to be any specific kind of ferret, just sort of generally ferret-esque.

It's always a little surprising what some colour can do toward making a face look less horrifying, hah. She's finally starting to pull together. What do you guys...

Ferret Colours - Vote!

August seems to be turning into the month of votes, what with the community designed character and all. I hope you guys are enjoying it, or at least that it isn't getting too annoying. :P

So, I've been plucking away at the model and the rigging is getting very near complete, which means it's just about time to start making her actually look good. It's time to make some decisions on what she's going to look like!

The way I see it, we've got one of two main choices; realistic colo...

August Painting - Vote!

Like the animation, the painting may be delayed due to health stuff if  I'm not feeling up to it, but will be completed as soon as I'm better.

August Animation - Vote!

As a reminder, I'm currently experiencing some health stuff so the animation may be delayed if I'm not feeling up to working on it when the time comes, but I'll be sure to catch up on anything I missed out once I'm better!

Ferret Tiddies - Vote

I continue to fiddle away with the ferret; feeling a bit crummy today so work is slow, but I've got a very basic rig done now. All the major body parts can move at least, though none of them look particularly well doing so. The face has no controls yet, hence the wide-eyed stare of horror, and there's lots of stuff that still needs adjustment, but progress is progress. About time to make a decision o...

Ferret Thing Turntable + Wireframe

Looks like toony ferret wins the vote by a pretty hefty margin! Alright, here's what I've got.

Got a good start to the mesh and have her all retopologized, so she's just about ready to start rigging. I also sometimes get asked to show wireframes of my characters, and while I kind of hesitate to do so over on FA because it seems like extremely niche content, you guys are my niche so it's probably worth tossing up here. :P Warning, these are pretty hefty files!

More Votes! Ferret body style

Hey look, I have some faceless horrors for you! :D

So it looks like the ferret is won this particular vote, so I got to work fiddling around with designs, and I've already hit a bit of a road block. I can't decide what direction I wanna go with her. Since this model is basically design by committee already, why not keep that theme going? It's kinda fun community-designing a model, I ...

Voting on model ideas!

I'm going to take some of the ideas from previous post and put 'em to a poll here. I can't promise these all fill a needed niche, some are just things that sound fun. But I guess not every model needs to be something super new, sometimes more of a good thing is fun too right? :P

Once again I want to remind that this model may never come to exist; I'm currently feeling just fine but that could change pretty quick (I'm not in any danger to my knowledge so don't worry, but I could start f...
