Hello folks and welcome to a brief progress report!
Work is continuing on all fronts. Mass Effect comic work is underway with Jack's chapter being tackled, Wednesday animation is seeing progress too, and I've finally managed to fit Lulu with proper deform cages for her breasts and applied cloth physics, meaning they respond to gravity and similar. I'm in the process of testing what settings work best for most positions, seeing how they respond under various conditions, after which I'll be looking to do some necessary polishing with weight paints and other settings to make them truly pop.
All the frustrations I've seen expressed by other creators when they dove into this stuff is becoming very understandable to me, and this is without me having started exploring stuff like collisions, so it'll definitely require more experimenting and work. I'm going for my usual, more rounded and "firm" style, meaning physics might look a little "floaty" compared to other creators, but where breasts don't lose as much of their shape during animation, which appears difficult if you want things to still respond well to motion - even after literal hours this Thursday of rolling test renders at various settings, I've yet to find something I'm truly happy with, so I reckon I need to do some more research. Either way, these early results are still promising, and once I have this in a good state I should be able to work out a workflow to apply this stuff to other characters in the gallery too, meaning massive time-saving down the line.
Winner of this month's Scenario is none other than Chun-Li (Street Fighter 6), so look forward to seeing her on some kind of adventure before the end of May. Posing will begin this weekend and the release is estimated somewhere between the 25th to the 29th.
Redgifs have begun prodding creators about age verification matters. While it can be skipped as of now and still permits uploading, in the event where they will outright demand it to continue using their page for hosting, I will opt out of using it entirely. I did not like giving my ID and a picture of my face to Patreon but I will admit I trust them more than I do random online porn hosting services, so if Redgif grows obstinate about it I will simply cease using it. I figured it's worth warning ahead of time at least regarding this, so people aren't surprised if my posts suddenly stop having redgif links in them.
And that's it for this week folks! Thank you everyone, as always, for your support and kind words! Food, shower and bed are all calling to me, so I'll be sure to do them all in some kind of order at least. Hope you're doing well out there, and please take care of yourselves as well as each other!/DH
