I did say ages ago that I would release models once I moved on to a newer version. That sort of stopped when I began just updating the current models in place.
So, to remedy that, here's the current archive of The Wilderness characters. All of them. In various stages of awful.
Let's start with the stuff you're all here for: CONTENT.
We've got a few things this month, surprisingly.
First, we have Eystri learning just why the Twins are popular with the ladies. They have a "No holes unfilled" policy. Or so Talinn says. Kiel thinks it's a dumb boast, because what exactly does he expect to do with ears and nostrils?...

Hopefully, everyone experienced a christmas and a New Year of some description.
My holiday period was mixed, let's just say. I started rental of a flat nearer to work, so I was finally about to move from my van after a year and a half of living in it. I'd managed to get a good proportion of my belongings out of my storage unit and into the new flat, then a few days later got a day off, hi...

If you've been around a while, you probably know the start of this story, so skip ahead for your sanity. For everyone else, I'm technically homeless and have been for about 17 months now. I've been living out of a van I converted into a camper when things looked like they were starting to go sideways. It's a fully kitted out camper. Bed, toilet/cold s...

I seem to always kick these things off with an apology for not being present very much, so let's start with the poll and go for excuses after.

Here's a bit of history.
The first things I posted on e621 was this comic called Home Invader. I'd thrown 6 pages together over the course of a day, and I'd only just created the ...
2021-10-31 02:27:35 +0000 UTC View PostI'll be honest, I've sort of neglected Patreon the last few weeks. Rather than dropping stuff on here, I've been firing them up on the Discord instead. Part laziness, part lack of time.
For starters, I've been doing a load of work on the next episode, hoping to get something within the next few weeks to release. This is a shorter one. After that, I'll be working on the first episode of Ef...

2021-09-17 23:51:36 +0000 UTC View PostI have been looking at the feedback gotten so far, and one thing that seems to be a common complaint is robotic movements of the characters. So I've taken a step toward fixing that. I can't guarantee it'll be immediate or even any good, but I feel it's worth the attempt.
I've bought an XBox One Kinect and PC link cable.
In theory, when hooked up to the XBox SDK, I should be able to ...

I know it's bad to get annoyed about people not looking at stuff you do, but at the same time, after 4 months of graft to get the biggest episode yet out, it's really disheartening that the counter on e621 went up to 35 in 24hrs, and then has been sat there for over a day.
I've listened to your feedback, and here's the second version!

The final sequence rendered overnight, been at work all day and now I'm working on the edit. It should be done by tomorrow, with the bulk of editing tonight and then rendering it out will take a few hours. Full disclosure, there's a few ...

Like literally. That's the character animation now all wrapped up for this episode, and the final scene animated and going to render in the next few minutes. All that's left to do is complete the earlier SFX shot then do the edit and we're there! And to be fair, most of the edit is already done. I build it up as it goes along. All it needs is a few passes over to see if there's anywhere it can ...

2021-08-25 01:11:14 +0000 UTC View PostIt's that time again!
I've had a little bit of a rethink on how to edit this episode, and I think it would actually be more effective if I moved the last few scenes to another episode. This isn't just laziness. Well, it is a little, but thinking about where the next episode was going to go, I felt it would make a bit more sense to steer it in another direction briefly.

I suppose, with a bit of greenery, I could have made a Bush joke.
Regardless, I spent a bit more time fleshing out this demo. I think it deserves a longer and harder try, but that will have to wait.

2021-08-02 21:38:59 +0000 UTC View PostLast post, I mentioned that I had been working on other stuff which wasn't good enough to upload. Well, since then I tried something else as well, but again it doesn't feel good enough to take any further at the moment. So, I figured that seeing as I've been doing a shit job of putting up content lately, I'd at least let you see the shitty stuff I've been hiding, so I present to you:
Apologies for the lack of updates or anything really in the past fortnight. Things have been kind of busy or just not working out.
I'm working full time at the moment, which means I'm out from 7am until about 7pm daily. Usually later wednesdays and fridays. I'm on a desk job, so I need to be active at some point, so those are my designated after work biking days. Which is where the first ...

On the bright side, I'm away biking for a few days anyway, so I wasn't going to be getting any work done for most of this n...
2021-05-30 11:48:09 +0000 UTC View PostFollowing on from the last vote, I've made a couple of concept animations, as well as the last Efa imageset to see what I should concentrate on next.
Dargon suggested some things, but also mentioned solo animations with any of the characters. I kind of like the idea of showing off the newer models for Kyn and Efa, and I quite enjoyed doing Efas Zero-G imageset, and would quite like to tur...

I've got so much stuff for you all today.
First, you'll have noticed the image set above. I did some tweaks to the newer Efa model and gave her ladyparts. So what better way for her to celebrate than to let her test them out?
