April 2022 Progression
I spent several hours arranging my apartment and immediately felt more inspired and relaxed.
2022-04-17 06:07:49 +0000 UTC View PostSo, it has come to my attention that ShareCG had disabled new membership intake last year due to bot activity and art theft. They claimed that they were on schedule to reopen April 15 (yesterday), but that hasn't happened. Unless you're already a member there, you can't purchase my morphs, which is disappointing to say the least. I'm trying to find a workable solution, but there aren't many good options out there. DeviantArt wants a 36% cut of everything because of the Core Membership level t...

It's what I had time for, this time around.

Just a quick reminder that things will be a bit quieter for a while as my housing situation stabilizes and I find a place where I can set up my DAZ station and get to regular work again. There will still be scheduled content for April coming in the next few weeks.
This is another early Sakura prototype I created years ago mainly for BE progressions. She never got beyond the test render phase when the Triplets were being developed. "Mune-chan" is an affectionate but slightly teasing term...

Not everyone necessarily wants the whole Digital Adiposity Dozen Morph Set, so I'm offering 7 individual morphs for sale on sharecg (BarrelCalves, BigGut, BlobGut, BlenderBlob, Guide, NaturalBeauty01, and OverweightPear). The 7 I've chosen were the most subscribed Morphs of the Month in 2021, and I'll get around to uploading the other 5 when these begin to sell.

Here's an animated version of Karin With 12 Equally Blended Morphs. See you next month!
2022-03-20 05:32:43 +0000 UTC View PostI'll be drafting and rendering April's Progression and Expanimation as soon as that's done and schedule them for next month.

I'm still looking for a new place to live while recovering from Omicron, feeling increasingly desperate as the days march towards April. I may have to put everything in storage and Airbnb it until something comes my way. This will effectively halt all creative activity, as my laptop is too old to run the latest DAZ and I can't realistically carry my Z600 setup from one short-term rental to another. The only solution I can come up with is to try to whip up some content in advance to cover the ...

Whew! It seems the worst of my illness is past, with my fever reaching a 38'C (100'F) peak last night and now dropping as the hours go by. I still have a runny nose and cough, a little weak and short of breath, but there's no longer any blood when I blow my nose. I can only guess that if I wasn't triple-Moderna'd, I'd be a lot worse off.
I trust the science, though the messaging at times was a mess.

ShareCG has approved the sale of my Digital Adiposity 2021 Morph of the Month set! I believe I set a fair price, calculating the time and effort involved.

There's not much else to do, I'm self-isolating after waking up with Coronalicious symptoms. Posted this rework over at deviantArt, and I'm still waiting to hear if it's okay to sell my morphs on sharecg.

Paku-Paku is a Japanese ideophonic term for eating hungrily, and is the "Pac" in Pac-Man. "Paku-Paku Mama" was a cute and famous Showa Pop song from the 70s.
A parody version (with overhauled lyrics) is the ending song for the anime Okaasan Online. When I first heard it I ROFL and was like, "WHO'S your target demographic here? People like me who grew up watching Captain Harlock and Gatchaman/BOTP?"
[UPDATE Mar. 8 - I'm waiting for approval to sell the morphs at sharecg.com]
Only not "ha-ha" funny. My financial outlook is so grim that I am exploring the possibility of selling last year's monthly morphs as a bundle to make some much needed money. My hours have been cut at work, a tank of gas that cost $72 last year is $89 now, my grocery bill keeps rising, my lease is expiring but I can't find legitimate, affordable housing to replace it, and I'm living on credit until my next...

I love all sizes and types of big girls from chubby to blobby, but midrange busty pears and hourglass figures are as much a fave as any ultrasize fantasy girl.
Today, I'm going to render the Progression and get an Expanimation sketched out for later render.
I need to take a break from the housing search, it's not going very well. The few responses I got seem to be scams, and the person I'm meeting tomorrow may not even be the landlord, just the former tenant looking to...

I'll be busy planning and executing a move this month, so the $3 and up tiers will at least get a nude version of last month's progression, plus anything else I can manage in my dwindling spare time.

For reasons that are unclear to me, Hanako's recent bikini pics get tons of views at dA. The first Azuma Sun Sun Beach pic broke 3,600 views within a week of posting! I'm not sure that I have another image that performed that well. [correction! There are a handful of Ayane renders and one animated GIF that come close to that number.] Ayane was already beginning to lose statistical ground to her redesigned "mother" Motoko, and now Hanako is a legitimate challenger.

I'm going to do a series of "before" renders for the $3 tier. Gotta incentivize higher pledges, come on up if it's within your budget!

The $1 Basic Support tier will be preserved at Patreon, and a $1 subscription tier has started at deviantArt. For the most part, the content will be the same, with some Patreon exclusives like higher resolutions and test animations.

I'm tired of winter, and just found out it's going to freeze and snow again most of this week where I live and I want to run away to Okinawa.

I'm brainstorming this month's Expanimation, but events from this week have left me depressed and uninspired. Also, the latest DAZ update has not been a smooth transition - all of my scenes that use ghost lights have to have a script loaded to fix the lights and then the opacity has to be reset. I'm also behind on updating my drivers, so renders have been terribly slow in the new version. I'm installing new drivers now, I hope they work with my configuration.
Update: Th...

There weren't many renders yesterday, as I spent much of the evening experimenting with animations for the upcoming Expanimation.

The Muse directed my attention to yet another band I seldom listen to, when an unrelated image search led to a skinny girl in a Scorpions ringer tee. So I put something together from the only album I knew up until recently. It's an old reference, but I hope it makes at least a few of you laugh as hard as I have.
Kicking off SaturDAZ with Scorpions' debut album, "Lonesome Crow" and some Sage n' Sour. The album is nice, very "Purple minus B3" to my ears anyway. Between renders, I'm going ...

My muse is apparently on a campaign to turn Motoko into a poster girl for GenX pop culture. A DJ decided to play that .38 Special song, I laughed my ass off (hadn't heard it in decades) and before long was assembling this scene from the feelings and memories evoked. The first thing that popped into my mind was a memory of playing Galaga at a very crowded arcade with "Caught Up In You" absolutely blaring from the speakers in the mid-80s. So, I guess she harkens back to the dawn of the "anime f...
2022-02-09 05:44:44 +0000 UTC View Post[The poll ended in a 3/3 tie. With such a small sample, I had to factor in the voters' donation history and the 720p-tolerant side won.]
Thank you for your generous donation, I'm very grateful that most of my Patrons contribute at this tier.
Is having the Expanimations at 1080p important to you?
In terms of time and resource budgeting 720p is much more economical for me and will allow more time for longer and/or richer clips (as much as inspiration can provide on a monthly b...
