Progress, Performance and YOU!

Hullo!
As always, I first have to start off with a huge thanks to everyone who has Watched and Commented, Favorited or simply stopped by and taken a look at the burly bara brutes and beasts I got to offer here. It honestly means a lot to me, and though I know I say this every time, it's a delight to see others who share my interest in brawny musclebound dudes, and even more of a pleasure to know that whatever artistic talent I have can be shared and enjoyed. There's a lot of artists out there (especially on here!) who are trying to do the same thing, and I wish them the best and do what I can where I can--though I mainly share the outstanding works I find through my Favorites, I do my best to highlight folks who do tremendous art but might not have a big audience yet. I'm going to try and be better about that in the future, as I know there are plenty more people out there doing awesome bara art that have yet to be fully recognized for their time and effort!
As for my gallery, the biggest piece submitted (in my view) is the MAWrestling 2018 Roster picture I uploaded near the beginning of March. The render is, by far, the largest and most complex I've done yet: individual renders of 10 characters, all in a single image, was a large task that took a while to do, especially as almost every character has some custom element to them, whether it be custom textures, custom morphs, custom props, or custom fur. Doing that many characters made me realize how much time it truly takes for me to really finalize a cast, and my priority since then has been speeding up my ability to make new characters: the hope is, if I can quickly process characters from scratch or template, I can be better able to take requests from you, and introduce guest wrestlers from the FA community, into panels. I announced this a month or two ago, but I'm letting you all know right now that depending on how busy I am, the guest project might not start for another couple of months. It's a big undertaking to me, and I want to make sure that I deliver a top-quality product to you, my audience, and do justice to the amazing and creative characters so many of you have made.
Otherwise, the next big thing is the sudden invasion of Fantasy characters! Orsus the werebear, the dwarves Gimrok and Gimor, the orcish monk Brokul, human ranger Hrokr, bestial beastman Bartholomäus, the shredded goblin Ra'kel...what is this?! Well, with my improved skills at creating new characters thanks to the MAWrestling project, I went ahead and improved, optimized, and enhanced a lot of older characters, which are mostly from the Fantasy universe. This means that I can render scenes with them far quicker and easier than I was before, which will hopefully allow me to spend less time overall putting scenes together (from ALL universes), which means more art from me on a regular basis (and the more bara the better)!
Now, there has been news lately that Skyrim VR for PC (Oculus Rift/Vive) has officially been announced for April 3rd, but I'm going to be traveling all of April, and won't be doing VR stuff. Sadly, I might not be doing Render stuff either, as I may have to bring a different computer with me (my gaming/render laptop monitor is flickering and dying, I think there's a loose cable inside the unit), so sadly April could end up being rather barren for a time. Hopefully I'll bounce back in May/June however, assuming Skyrim VR doesn't have a Bodybuilder Orc Romance mod.
But that's a lot to read, so I'll close up here by saying thanks again, hope you all are enjoying Spring (or what's left of it), and I wish you all well! Feel free to send Notes or leave Comments, I'm open to any question or conversation anyone has to offer (though I may be a day late in responding at times), and otherwise be safe, have fun, and thanks again for stopping by!!

But in the end, I've decided to hold off on commissions. I work a tough job with long hours, and could never guarantee being able to finish commissions, or finish them in a timely manner. Gifts are nice, because I can do them at my own pace─or not do them, depending on what my schedule is like. And for sure, money is no longer a factor that way; all I'd be concerned about is the quality of the character, and the creativity that an individual can come up with.
And those are priceless. <3
Love your work.
Love your ambition and drive.
LOVE YOU!!!!
Yeah...I like to type a lot in the journals though. I'd rather answer too many questions, than answer too few─but you are right! There may be slightly too much to read at the moment, to get to those answers... :P
