This is about that recent fee change thing.
Dunno if everybody got an email about this, but I did. Apparently they won't be rolling out that change; too many Creators have lost too many Patrons because of it. What I haven't realized is that it would disproportionately affect the lower tiers - negatively.
They said that ultimately it's the Creator who should decide how their business is run, and not...

Fun fact: lizard pinup is how I internally call any picture featuring only Adreea. The folder with those is called like that, and their technical designations start with LP. There. A useless bit of information.
Also I've learned how to make any picture look like it was made on a Commodore 64 (because I grew up with a Commodore 64, and I love that thing to bits (that's probably a pun)), AND like...

I haven't done one of these in a while, and a ToeClaws brough it up, and I was like yep. Gotta make. It's an alt view of that last Secret Commission.
So there you go. Not charging for it; took me just a couple of hours.

There are currently four more people getting pretty close to getting one of these, one of which is very close. C:

2017-12-12 20:19:56 +0000 UTC View PostThey will be sending everyone emails about it on the 7th, but I figured I'd address this personally too.
So basically, being a Creator on Patreon requires some fees to be paid. Once all your pledges process, Patreon takes 5% of that. And that's fine; they need money to continue doing what they do - just like me, or any other Creator here. Then there are also payment processing fees. If a Creator has lots of wonderful people supporing them *poke nudge wink*, those processing fees can amount to ...

This thing popping in and out of my bladder was like the amazingest. But I can't do it for long; I'll have a sore everything now lol. But that's fiiiiine. I think I'll just stick to stretching. And maybe vibrating stuff. And I still need to try bladder inflation, huehue.

Welp, that last poll turned out to be inconclusive. :^) But for the longest part, stretch was in the lead, so here it is!

Very happy with this! Now I can use it in the piece. Already layed out three positions, now I just need three different poses for them and I can continue with the arting.
But now, some workflow stuff. Took a bit longer than expected (mostly because I was confused about the nonstandard approach to making the eyes), hence no post yesterday.
So, the first step I did was to paint a simple black and white map as a mask for the dark and light skin colors. Literal...

Yeah, that happened. I could not stop myself. It's in my goddamn genes. Help.
Other than that, I've also manually finetuned the topology, and added UVs. I've just returned from a perilous quest to a shop, and I have about 20 minutes left of my working day, so I guess I won't do any more work now, but to make this post a little bit more interesting, here's a shot of the topology, because why not:

Just made this out of some test renders I've saved during the making of that halloween pic. Figured some of you might be interested to see how it evolved. ^.^
The timeline is a little inaccurate because of the having-to-redo-the-final-render-because-of-the-dutch-angle-and-reflection-quality shenanigans, but the overall progress is accurate.
I guess I can make this kind of thing a semi-regular feature. I save test renders for all pieces, but they're not always interesting. It could 2017-10-29 20:40:01 +0000 UTC View Post

"Fun" fact: this was so bloody slow to render that I had to render it about 50% smaller than I'd like, and it still took almost 3 hours. :^) HOWEVER, I've doubled the fur count in it (4 million per roo), AND increased the segment amount, so it's sooper smooooove.

The thing is rendered! :D I am about to begin processing it, but I'm not sure how well I can document it, because it's a pretty long and messy process. Let's start with looking at all the render elements. Also it took exactly 1h, 07m, 49s to render. Not bad at all! Also note: the elements below were processed to be readable. If I showed them the way they will be used, some of them would not be very visible.

Last time, the hair had some problems, so that was the first thing I fixed.
Sometimes, when there is a difficult hair situation - not unlike this case - I will do a region render at the final resolution (usually around 4x (or actually 8x) the preview size) to look for any serious clipping.
So here is that preview after fixing:
I'd say this looks pretty good. Ther...

Now that the posing is nearly done, I can begin scene setup. I'm cheating a bit because I already have started it, so you won't see much experimentation and failure here. We're moving on from working in ZBrush to working in 3ds Max.
The first thing to do is obviously to export everything from ZB, but that's nothing interesting, so I won't show how I do that. XD The second thing is just as bad, because it involves importing all the things to Max. Once that is done, we get something like this: 2017-09-18 19:28:45 +0000 UTC View Post
