I'm currently working on a picture of August. I've been kind of lagging on it (honestly, just felt like chillin'), but the project's on the detail phase right now. I hope to get it done either tomorrow or Saturday.

Prepare to fuckin' laugh.

Recently learned that weight painting in Blender comes with a smoothing button. Up until now I thought this was all going to be a letters-on-rice kind of deal. I figured there was a function of the sort, but given my browsing on how to weight paint more smoothly, I have no idea why I didn't happen upon the answer sooner.

What's worse is that the smooth button in and of itself has been pretty much staring me in the face this entire time...

Either way, weight painting feels like a much more welcoming task now.

Buckle up, dudes. I'll be posting my official Halloween picture(s) later tonight when things start winding down for me, so stay tuned.

I put a lot of heart into this one.

But until then, I wanna see what's out there to do.

Hey.

I bought a urethral sounding kit and just got it in the mail today. A set of nine stainless steel rods in a leather casing, all built tough to stick deep into my pisshole! Never really done this sort of thing before; I'm a bit nervous, honestly. The thickest of the rods is 20mms thick (for reference, as thick as my thumb)! All the same, I'm actually kind of excited at the thought of making it to that thick one.

Wish me luck.

Oh, also quick artist update: I've been working on an image set of August in a maid outfit. I'm hoping to get that all done and posted by the end of the weekend.

Just a few more touches....

Quick update:

I've been working on TWO pictures of Elly, back to back in the same scene. I think you guys are gonna love it. I'm currently working on the lighting/shading on her body (bodies?) and after that I'm gonna have to do some complicated shit.

I would like to say that I hope to have it done by the end of the weekend, but I'm not gonna make any promises.

Sit tight. It'll be worth the wait.

I may need to ask some questions before posting the post-comic. One of the conditions of publishing movies is

"Do not submit pictures in a slideshow format."

Not completely sure what this means, but it does sound a lot like what I do. I'm gonna take a bit of time to investigate this. I may have to switch down to GIF again at least for the time being. Honestly, I was kinda looking forward to the upgrade, so I'd rather not if I can help it. I used OpenShot Video Editor, and for a program that I just found, it has a lot of promise to it. And it feels a bit insincere to my work to slap in some audio just for the sake of poking the minimum bar.

Dunno, I'll sniff around a little before I make the decision to debuff my work.

Quick update: I'll get the post-comic done tomorrow. I've been chugging away at the project all day and I literally only have the mouth layers to do before arranging the animation. I'm tired, and Krita has progressively slowed to a crawl--I suspect this is from the constant work. Damn shame that I didn't get it done in the month of February; it kinda dawned on me that Valentine's Day is the halfway point of the month. Well whatever. Either way, it'll all be worth it.

Almost done with the Valentine's Day post-comic. Just working on the background and final tweaks to the characters. I'm gonna try posting it as a movie instead of a GIF. With the last animation I made--especially because of how long it was and how I opt for realistic pacing for dialogue--it kinda occurred to me that the lack of the ability to pause or rewind is rather antagonistic to consumption standards. Also, the change in format will, I comfortably assume, allow for a higher-quality product.

As for past animations, you can just use a gif to mp4 converter or something. I don't care to backtrack in this regard, partly for the integrity of the documents and partly because I just feel lazy about it. Soooo, yeah. Use a converter.

Anyways, stay tuned. I'm crossing my fingers hoping that I'll get it all done tomorrow. Tweaking eats up a surprising amount of time if you don't know how to prioritize.

Dudes, we got a problem.

There's this bill called the Stop Internet Sexual Exploitation Act, or SISEA for short, that is currently pending approval. As the name of the bill would suggest, it's meant to crack down on nonconsensual pornographic material, but like most of these crackpot propositions, its ripple effects often far outweigh any good.

I'd go over the details myself, but I feel no need. I found a Twitter user who goes by the name Ana--a self-proclaimed NSFW reporter--who took the liberty of creating a master post concerning the bill. The link to the post is below:

I looked over her compilation and I believe she presents the matter in a succinct way. I strongly urge you to visit this tweet.
