Check In 09/28/2026

Howdy Howdy. Hope you're all doing well, as my schedule has moved, so again we're back to Monday as our check in day. This week I offer a few customs for your viewing pleasure.

A solid week of work this past week, it wasn't super exciting or groundbreaking but it was productive, the kind of week where you see the results of your effort and feel that little glow of satisfaction. That second larger scene I was discussing the past update Is mostly wrapped up now, probably another day or two to put away. With that taken care of it's time for our monthly Junk drawer week, this time though I really only have a few projects to plink at and I'll briefly talk about them below.

Before that though, with the aforementioned scene mostly good to go, I've also finished up the blocking for the final batch of animations so we'll just be dedicating time each day to those.

Now for our brief junk drawer preview. This junk drawer week only has two things that need to be done both of which actually tie into the same scene. First is pretty easy, just time consuming, as I'll be remaking a set, now this isn't an uncommon practice, but this particular set hasn't been scene or used since the very first chapter. Things have changed in the years since that chapter of course, and I've even enhanced my skills by a whole .05%, so I really need to strut my stuff. Honestly though that's the easier project, probably take it out in an afternoon. Now our second little thing is a little more complex, and nets you a surprise render. Meet "Name to be Determined"

Our lovely friend here isn't a new LI or anything like that, and she only appears for about ten renders this update. But, she's somewhat important for something I've been setting up, and I was playing with her design a little bit and thought it could be something to share. Now the reason for black and white isn't arty farty nonsense this time, it's actually because, as of the above render, almost everything is still a work in progress on her. So far only her general body type is settled, everything else about her including hair style, color, eye color and various other things are sort of in flux. Hence why she's mostly covered up, she's still a work in progress. And because I know what some people are already typing... No, you already have two redheads, you've hit your limit. Normally when I create characters to flesh out the world it's a fairly dull event but since she'll be taking some of my time this week I thought it might be fun to show where she's at, then when she appears in update you can see how she's changed, just a little BTS journey. Hopefully though both projects only take a few days and then we're back to the heavy work.

So with that I've taken enough of your time today, I'm going to let you go do something more fun. Thank you as always for the support and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week.
