Early Test Render - Motoko Doorway
Thanks for voting. At the end of the month, I will unpublish the $1 deviantArt Support tier and begin charging a $1 a month for nudes access at deviantArt. The primary purpose of the funds will be Core Membership, then PC upgrades.

Not a complaint, just a statement of fact that January's donations fell below my sustainability threshold. As a result, I'm focusing on creating richer content for the more profitable tiers, and freebies will be limited this month. I'll be making adjustments and rebalancing my efforts over the next 2 months and see if things get better, even if it only means that I'm better budgeting my time and resource usage as money gets tighter.

Well, the Blender tutorials were a bit of a bust this weekend, but at least I had some fun with the new character. Time to start getting ready for Monday.

There's only so much information I can absorb, so I'm calling it a day for tutorials.
Mystical Art Design created a chubby G8F shape for DAZ, "Molly" for G8.1F. I'm going to have a bit of fun with it.
In case you're interested in having your own Molly for DAZ:

The all-tier renders will be few this weekend. I'm going to work through some Blender tutorials and try to get as comfortable working with it as I am with 3ds Max. DAZ has always been limited in terms of animation, and the dforce cloth and softbody simulator still needs improvement.

Thank you for your generous pledge and patience.
Just a little something extra.

It will still come out this month. I usually like to release the Expanimation on the 25th of the month as a Little Christmas kind of thing, but a technical error has necessitated a restart of the render and it's going to drop Friday or Saturdaz. Tomorrow's impossible, even Thursday would take a miracle.
My artistic inspiration has been very sporadic lately, so I take what I can get. Still, there are some "wtf?" moments that make me wonder where these ideas come from. First, let me say that I'm not a Queen fan, the radio hits are about all I know and I've never owned or sat through an entire album by them. Still, this was the thought process that brought this about last night:
"I've been wanting to make a render with Motoko and the Triplets. I wonder what poses I should use. Maybe a 2x2...

I'm getting the Expanimation ready to render today, so there may not be much else going on, just a few image drops.
Added a mini-progression.

Capturing another moment. "Lost In Hollywood", last track of the album.

Started this on Saturday and wrapped it up today. The idea was create a relaxed and cute moment that gives a bit of dimension to the character.

I created 2 special tiers starting with the 2020 Holiday Season, and continued through 2021 as a special celebration marking 5 years of Patreon campaigning. I shared a limited series of custom morphs for an additional $5, and I made it very clear that this was a one-time offer. The monthly morphs were removed from circulation at the end of each month, and the program ran its course on December 31, 2021. Thank you to everyone who supported me at this level.
Since then, I've been subject ...

Well, that was a cold, cloudy Saturday well spent making these scenes and watching anime while renders went on.

I think that I'm done editing her face. Going for the pretty side of plain with chubby cheeks.

Here's a sketch of a scene I'll refine for the $3 tier later.

Here's a scene spun off the previous figure study. This 2018 character, updated for 2022, combines Sakura 8 with the Gin character morph and is the source of the triplets Ayane, Kaede, and Asuka.

In order to reach inspiration, I sometimes create somewhat dull "study scenes" that at least yield interesting possibilities for poses and morphs. Here's an example, a scene featuring the 5 types of Sakura 8-derived character bases I have available, with 2 simple figure morphs added to compare the effect. I've saved 3 new poses and more than a dozen figure presets from this scene alone. If a new scene doesn't come from this exercise, at least I produced resources from the time spent.

[Update: Climate change has brought deep snow followed by freezing rain and I'm home from work today planning to set aside some time for DAZ. Roads are a mess, and when I attempted my commute this morning someone walking in the street slipped and nearly fell in front of my car!]
Thank you for your support in December, it will help me recover financially after the sudden expenses that started in November. I'm hoping January will be another good month for this Patreon campaign.

I'm having a snowed-in Saturday. The roads were too treacherous for my tires earlier, and now White Christmas is halfway up my hubcabs. Just another SaturDAZ Faturday.
Added a page. Will post more tomorrow.
The renders take almost 2 hours each. I hope I have enough time to get to the transformation today. We'll see, there's always tomorrow.
12/26 I'm committed to finishing this by the end of the month/year.
12/27 Still winging it, more tomorrow!

Rendering the December Expanimation and I'm working on the Blueberry progression now, ETA Sunday. Daz was having a sale, so I picked up some breast and butt morphing utilities and a new animegirl.

Time to find out if I can get her belly to touch the floor, and I'll only post it if it looks good.
