Smoll Update
General | Posted 3 months agoHeyo~
Been a while since I did one of these journal things so time to yap a bit again.
First of all, I've decided to close my donation page because I plan to launch my SubscribeStar around September (though I always had issues staying within deadlines so that date is not set in stone yet :p)
I want to give a big big thank you to all of you who donated over the years. It was and is very much appreciated <3
I will be giving some more detailed info about what I plan to do on Substar right before I actually launch it, but my current plans are that I'm going to do early access (likely one month), polls, wips and cutting floor content (unfinished animations, test animations) as perks. So all my finished animations that would've seen the light of day will still be free after a lil bit of extra waiting.
I'm not expecting to start pumping out new animations on a conveyor belt, but it would enable me to become less financially dependent on freelance work in general, giving me time to work on making some more stinky stuff for you all :>
I was also thinking about maybe doing a YCH animation sometime. I have a few ideas about what kind of scenarios would work with that, but I think it would be a "bring your own model" type of thing. It's likely not gonna happen anytime soon though, but it could be a fun project later down the line if time allows.
Also I'm curious about your preferences because I've been thinking about featuring some human preys (again) from time to time, so do share your opinions in the comments regarding that. And well, just in general, what kind of things you want to see me make, suggestions on where I could improve and whatnot.
Hope you all have a very nice day!

Update
General | Posted 3 years agoHeyo~
I feel like y'all deserve a little update about things.
I'm not completely dead, just been having a /lot/ of things going on in my life. I got hit by the all you can eat buffet of health/mental health/family/job/home issues in the past couple of months at just the right intervals, so as soon as I solved one thing and settled back into the rhythm of making fun stuff, the next thing crashed right through the window. Also my living costs went up considerably, so I had to take on a lot more freelance work than I originally intended to.
After I released my last animation, I took on a new commission featuring a certain dragoness and a donkey, and started learning a new 3D software, so I could do some fancy stuff that Blender isn't really able to do. I also tried out a completely different workflow in the hopes of speeding up my animation process for the future, but overall that wasn't really worth it in retrospect. After that 2022 turned into a bit of a shitshow for me. So let's just say the timing wasn't exactly ideal for trying to completely change how I make my animations.
I managed to get said animation to about 70% completion, so there is still some work left to do on it (and originally I planned to release it sometime during summer ;_;), but that's my focus currently. I also have some shorter halfway done animations with the horsey, I wanna finish up those too sometime after that. I can't see the timeline yet exactly, but there will be definitely more content sometime in the coming months.
There is also a mostly-done model of my sona (huge, huge thanks to my fren helping me out with it <3), dunno when I can get to actually feature him in something, but we'll see.
So yeah, that about sums up the current situation and I wanna thank you all for sticking around, it means a lot! c:
Happy holidays!

Status update
General | Posted 4 years agoHeyo~
It's been quite a while since the last animation so I feel like it's about time to make a status update.
I've been a bit busy with my IRL work in the last couple of months, but on the side in my free time I've been working on two new rigs/models. Namely a new, better looking horse and a Celestia model/rig. The horse is about 80% done overall, while work on Tia is in the modeling stages. They are not animation ready yet, but I plan to complete at least one of them in the upcoming months.
I have slightly bit more time on my hands now, so I'll be doing a new animation before that, although likely a shorter one than the ones before. I'm thinking a loop or multiple loops stitched together via an "interactive" animation with the already existing horse rig. There are already few ideas floating in my head, but I haven't started working on it yet, so if you want you can leave suggestions in the comments under this post. Remember, nothing too fancy for this one though.
I have also managed to upgrade my PC recently which should reduce render times significantly and enable me to work on higher resolution textures. I've been rendering my animations with Eevee, but I'll be taking a look at Cycles X once Blender 3.0 is out.
I think that's about it, so thanks for all the watches/comments/favorites. Special thanks goes to the peeps who supported me over at Ko-Fi and to the Anon who gifted me the base for the new horse rig. I swear it'll be done soon™.
Have a nice day ya'll.

Discord
General | Posted 5 years agoHello there!
I'm a bit late, but huge thanks for the 500 watches!
Some people have been asking about where I post WIPs and if I have a Discord server.
I don't (at least for now), but I'm mainly active in the server of https://www.furaffinity.net/user/thecomet93/
We have a channel about 3D (primarily Blender), so if you are interested in learning stuff or sharing techniques and whatnot, check the place out:

Have a nice day!

Future things
General | Posted 5 years agoI'm glad so many of you enjoyed the animation! Thanks to everyone for watching, faving and commenting. About what's next:
I'll start working on a new animation sometime this week, I already started on some miscellaneous (a.k.a. the rather boring) stuff like making a new background scenery. Nothing really fancy, but I'd like to have a selection of backdrops for future things. I've been also tweaking the horse rig and some other 3D assets a bit more.
I haven't decided on what the exact scenario will be yet, but it'll involve buttstuff and sizeplay. I've been thinking about doing CV and/or some sheathplay, but that would require quite a bit of additional modeling and rigging. I might do it next time around, no guarantees though. Also, I'd rather not speculate when I'll release it considering I'm still just toying with ideas. So the date is "whenever it's done" for now.
For future videos in general, depending on the main focus and the 'structure' of the animation I'll try to make multiple versions (e.g. clean).
Some of you suggested that I should open a donation box or something like that so people could support me that way too. A tip jar seems like a good idea so I could upgrade my GPU sooner and also to purchase some 3D assets. I'll make a journal post if/when I set up one.
If you have some questions, write a comment and I'll try to answer them. Well, I guess that's it for now, thanks for reading and have a nice day!

Yo!
General | Posted 5 years agoI figured it's time to start using my profile by posting a quick introductory journal thing.
First of all, big thanks to everyone who started watching me! I got into 3D a few years ago but only started dabbling in animation in the past couple of months so I was fairly surprised how many peeps liked the WIP animation that got shared around. I'm still learning the ropes so I wasn't sure about posting it publicly originally, but I guess it's best just to roll with it.
I'll be posting an updated/finished version of that in the upcoming days. The animation itself won't be hugely different compared to what you've already seen, but there will be an extra scene at the end + improved textures/lighting and whatnot.
For other upcoming things after that: I'm not sure how frequently I'll be releasing stuff, but I'm planning to mostly stick with the feral/human & dirty/vorish/sizeplay themes in the future too. Not saying I definitely won't do other things and clean versions (if possible) but those are the main things you can expect from me. I'm also planning to upgrade my PC whenever I'll have the funds to do it, because it's getting quite old and it's a bit of a pain in the ass to work with it sometimes. So whenever that happens hopefully it'll speed up things slightly.
Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope you'll like my stuff.
Have a nice day y'all!
