[W.I.P] Mass Effect: Grunt

Grunt has won this week's ME poll and I've gotten started on his upcoming animation.

A Krogan could bend a human in two but Grunt is generally impressed when Shepard is assertive and takes control of the situation, even towards him. Grunt is also described as naive and excitable, so I figured a playful approach would be appro...

[Poll] Mass Effect: AssholeShep, September 2016

Edit: Poll over. Thank you all for voting.

What with all your suggestions, I decided to add a few more names than originally planned. Thanks for the help.

[Poll] AssholeShep Character Suggestions

Planning to work on the next entry in the AssholeShep series soon and I'm looking for character suggestions to build a poll with. AssholeShep polls in the past have been public polls, listing up to around  five characters. This time,...

[W.I.P] SH: James Sunderland, Pyramid Head

Animation WIP: https://gfycat.com/RingedGentleGoral

Something I've been making on the side. No idea if anybody still remembers this game but I've wanted to do something with these two characters for a while now.

This will probably be jus...

[W.I.P] OW: McCree

And another WIP further in. All textures now imported and edited. Weapons have also been slightly modified mesh-wise for a closer look to the ones in cinematics featuring Talon, and not Blackwatch, agents. Might add in baggy pants, once I've overall tweaked poses and lighting.

This week has been primarily about figuring ho...

[W.I.P] OW: McCree

First WIP in Blender.  I've newfound respect for people who already work with it.

Overwatch's lore on McCree has mentions of his stint in the Blackwatch and his short comic throws him against them during a train heist, so I intend work that into his upcoming poster.

I'm in the process of porting Reaper's Re...

[ARCHIVE] Access

Archive Link: MEGA.NZ

The archive is a collection of my works in .mp4 format, exported at 1080p quality and directly uploaded onto Mega. There is no video compression involved, so the files retain their original quali...

[TIER] Changes

Some tier changes to old and new! They have all been a work-in-progress for this past month, so thanks for understanding.

Tier I

The temporary changes to include everybody in the Monthly Poster are now permanent Tier I rewards.  Tier I has been the backbone keeping this Patreon up and going and I don...

[W.I.P] OW: McCree

Preparations for the monthly poster begin. It was a tight race: McCree beat Hanzo by only two extra votes from new tier patrons.

Images above are actually from a new tool I plan to work with this time, Blender, for good practice. I've never used Blender to this extent, so it'll be a learning experience.

I'm currentl...

Animation progress update:

https://gfycat.com/SourColossalAracari

Due to work duties this past week, I've had to cut down on animation time. So now I'm at the stage in which I work out variants and then refine details of the base animation.&n...

[W.I.P] DAI: Iron Bull, Dorian

Characters now have some of their personal equipment back and I was able to modify Dorian's model, so that I can animate his magic booty.

The main part of background work is also finished. I was able to find and port actual game assets like the wall, window, books and bookshelves.

Next, I'm working on the main poses...

[Monthly Poster] Character Suggestions

I'm looking for suggestions for the upcoming character voting poll. Everybody's welcome to throw in a few names per person. The winning character will get a poster, much in the style of my DA pin-up series.

Suggested characters must have a model online for download. A safe bet is that if it's a series I've worked on before...

[W.I.P] DA:I: Iron Bull, Dorian

I offered to do an animation as a prize for the recent SFM contest. One of the winners chose me to work with and they requested Iron Bull with Dorian, leaving the content otherwise up to me.

So, Iron Bull gets the spotlight. According to the game's dialogue, he's both a dominant lover and someone who knows how to fulfil a part...

[Tier] Patron Input

Hey everybody,

I want to introduce  a second tier and I'd like your input. It's important to me to not limit established free content to new paywalls, so I want to do a new, Patreon-driven project with you instead: a monthly pin-up poster by Patreon-only vote. You can see from my 2016-08-07 14:28:53 +0000 UTC View Post

75% stage: http://gfycat.com/UnsungRemoteFossa

Time to leave it for a day or two. As usual, a bunch of things I didn't notice will unavoidably pop up once I return and require fixing. Then, rinse and repeat until finished.

I'm still unconvi...

[W.I.P] Fallout 4: Hancock, Nate

Progress update. Getting there with the main motion: https://gfycat.com/PossibleDearestGorilla

Once refined, I'll introduce pose variants. Then I'll also attempt to animate a smoke exhalation and inhalation exchange between Hancock and Nate. ...

[W.I.P] Fallout 4: Hancock, Nate

Hancock returns. The theme is breath play, drugs and power bottoming. We'll see if I can make this justice.

I'm travelling this and next week, so I'm taking my time with this one. Expect a couple of updates for the next while, until I can pick up pace again.

[Final] Mass Effect: Javik

Next Mass Effect companion coming up.

Will have to collect reference shots to get his expressions right.

And that makes three.

[W.I.P] DA:I Blackwall

Finished. Might title these my DA:I pin-ups.

Planning to conclude them with a final one of Varric's.
