Discord Extras {April 2023} (Patreon)

Welcome one and all to your monthly Patreon update! 

Took up two huge commissions in March, will probably not do that again for awhile because it was pretty exhausting. x_X The good news is, thanks to the generosity of my commissioners, I am now back in the green after last years expenses! ^_^

I am likely going to be focusing more on personal projects in April, some quick and simple render commissions are also was a possibility though!

So lets reflect on the Projects of March shall we? ^o^

Images 1-9

I started out the month with this commission project for JustAnotherFurryFellow of their character Zeker. 

This was by far my largest and longest commission ever taking around 80hrs over the course of 11 days to complete! The model required the creation of a Strand-based hair piece, 5 Body Morphs, 12 Geografts, and 17 texture maps to complete the form, along with a collection of Corrective and Movement morphs for various body parts all tailored and built to work on Daz Studios Genesis 8 Male Base. A cloak model for the character was also created. ^o^

At The start I was given a few of their characters to choose from, Zeker was the most complex of them all and to me the most interesting and unique and I am a total push over for the unique and some might even say doing things to torture myself XD. It took a lot of work but in the end I think it was one of the most rewarding and fun projects I have done!

Now for some descriptions for the various images here! 

The first three are of course Artistic Renders of the Finished Model. The second of which is the Raw render Without post work. The third was an earlier render before I did some experimentation with dust and godrays and added some 3D Cobwebs to the scene which in this image that was all added in digitally during postwork. 

With this project I also continued my experiments with digital Post work filters and image adjustments to the raw render which you can tell the differences when comparing the Final version with the Raw scan. ^_^

The next 3 images are in progress renders of Zekers head, with its various parts and custom lower split jaw Geograft with posing morph applied.

Last three images, are a turntable showcasing the entire completed model. ^_^

This here was a personal Render project featuring my Fox Gal character. With spring upon us I wanted to do something with flowers and finally put to use some of the 3D assets I got last year! ^o^

Another quick Personal Render project featuring Fox Gal again, I think she has gotten the most spotlight of all of my characters second to probably Cobra Gal and myself. :P

A side project of mine during the month was actually making updates to Fox Gals model, she is one of my oldest, so was in much need of a updated face and ears, this Render was created to give you a better look at those upgrades. ^_^

Having gotten myself out of the red-zone in finances finally, I was able to purchase some new assets from the Daz Studio store, included was a new Hair Piece for my self model. I have also learned how to create posing and styling morphs for Dforce Strand-based hair products. The hair still needs a little more perfecting and work but it's leaps and bounds better than the old hair I was using! This image here is just another quick artistic render with the new hair and my new post work techniques applied, culminating into another Spring Themed piece!^o^

For this months TF Sequence/Comic, the Commissioner Marberguson, wanted some additional work done to the Hyena Model I created for him awhile back, making him a bit more Ghollish for use in the comic Setting. There where a lot of other things created for that project too which made the project quite bigger than I expected, but none the less fun! I go into much more detail on the Comic project in its Post description. Thanks again for filling the TF sequence slot I needed filled this month Marberguson!^_^

I hope you all enjoyed what I had to share with you this month and I'd like to give another huge thanks to this months commissioners JustAnotherFurryFellow and Marberguson! The projects where a ton of fun and I can't wait for the next ones! You two are far to generous! And of course thanks to everyone else for your continued support through Patron pledges too! I am so grateful for all of you! ^_^
