Fortnightly Progress - 11th November

• No Haven

Poking my head out of the pit to let you know what's going on. 

Fully gone into drop everything, get the update done mode. Thanks to that most of the implementation is done, so bit of that, outstanding bug fixes, and testing to go. 

I reckon if everything goes ...

The 92nd No Haven Commission - Cherry Blossoms

Verax returna for the third time with a Tsumi Harpy with some truly awe-inspiring assets. This one specifically being the mistress to a nobleman in the city with rather specific tastes, and the kind of deep pockets that even after that many visits to Keldan Alley still haven't tun dry in perfecting the most prized jewel in hi...

Discord Assignment the 4th - Week 6

And the winner was...

(yes this has been posted a ton on the discord, but it's great so it gets posted here too)

As a reminder this is everything to do with the victor.

Fortnightly Progress - 27th October

• No Haven

Right had a couple of 'hiccups' (see the next section for some details of those) and so I'm not quite ready to share the full patch notes. However not only will they absolutely be in the next one of these, but that the next update will absolutely be at the end of the same week as wh...

Discord Assignment the 4th - Week 5

Okay so it's plus a couple more than that but who's counting.

Like a phoenix from a flame the concept that is the Discord Assignment where you lot help make an assignment returns.

Where we'd got to last time was having chosen three possible choices there was a bunch of input into what exactly they might also invol...

The 91st No Haven Commission - Saving Glory

Well this was a commission that grew a whole lot in the process. Going from the single character with the Ogre in the original pitch, then thinking 'hey why not get a second version with a human sized character for comparison', and then realizing the box was now too large for one human occupant, and so as it turns out apparen...

Bonus Commission - Newfound Fascination

This is another of those 'patron funds, I manage the process' ones, and also a great example of how sometimes no plan survives contact with an artist. 

The idea was too get a more elegant look for the before version. In fact this was the specific refference I sent over for her build:

Fortnightly Progress - 13th October

• No Haven

Currently working on the final stage of Lesbian Training. If you want a fuller picture of what is going on then I did a list of everything I'm including in the next update in a previous one of these (not last one, one before that). There has been one addition since then thanks to a ...

September+October New Races Commission Poll

As mentioned last time these are going to be all new races and so I'm going to be doing this one a little differently in terms of structure. To give as many different ones their chance I'm dropping the 5-6 Character Options and dispensed with the usual splits and just done it so combined they add up...

Bonus Commission - Mercenary Herald

This one happened due to a debate on the discord where the consensus was that the Draenei Official and the post gender change/Transformed start portraits were agreed to be some of the worst in the game. 

Now those two were actually done way back in the day by a former patron as my attempt at editing a placeholder f...

Fortnightly Progress - 29th September

• No Haven

Was away for a couple of days due to that unexpected family thing. I'm back plugging away now and been working on the mechanics for Frequent Illicit Clubs and Scour the Gate where in the first you'll have a decent amount of control to the second with really good complex control to f...

Bonus Commission - Bathing Beauty

A truly unexpected commission for me that was not at all planned.

What happened was that Murr did their first ever YCH auction and while I likely would have missed it, one of the patrons on discord was deeply awesome by pointing it out to me, and I took one look at it and was pretty much '...okay, that needs pretty muc...

The 90th No Haven Commission - Scour Dockside Taverns for New Talent

Verax returns for a second go round after their work on Hot Seat. 

I really like the comparison between the two genders with her properly bulking up for the futa version. It's also a good one if you want to hunt for hidden details as they ended up using all the graffiti ideas that I came up with to make the tavern ...

The Eighty-Ninth No Haven Commission - Broken Succubus

Mephiscrypie returns with this lovely follow up to Nyuunzi's piece. This is a different succubus to that one but you should be able to see how one inspired the look of another who might have been part of the same demonic invasion as the other one was. I also like how this Horned One guy, while he's not wearing much, is wearin...

Fortnightly Progress - 15th September

• No Haven

Right so what's going to be in 0.98 then?

Currently this is what is looking to be the highlights:

- Zharr dwarf focused Uncommon Dreadsea Coast Assignment using a commission

- Clit-Queen Training to finish off Lesbian Training using a com...

The Eighty-Eighth No Haven Commission - A Taste of Glory

Awasof returns with a seriously classy piece. 

I can't remember exactly why this ended up having two angles. Possibly chalk it up to artist enthusiasm :D

This was a different style from them than their usual as they wanted to challenge themself and I hope you like the result. 

You can find more of ...

Alternative September Commission Poll

Hey nice to be back on track with these. 

For those that are new the purpose of these polls are:

The idea with these ones is to improve the flow of art for the games by doing some more limited single character/two busts commissions on the off months while the larger commission polls will continue as ...

The Eighty-Seventh No Haven Commission - Sudden Betrayal

A wood elf displaying a signature look of smug superiority. Then not so much. 

WeakJ returns with a pair of busts for the above named assignment. I'll likely have it as two separate compositions for the before and after the betrayal.

Fortnightly Progress - 1st September

• No Haven

All the public releases have now been done for 0.97.

I'm now onto 0.98 where I've started with the three patron uniques that are coming with this update that didn't make it into 0.97, and working out what I'm doing with that Zharr Dwarf commission for an Assignment in the Drea...

The Eighty-Sixth No Haven Commission - Scare Crow

Starli once again provides a fantastic piece with so much character. Just absolutely got the concept spot on.

You can find more of their work on HF and their tw...

July+August Commission Poll

This one will run until the 7th September, then I'll start the one for that month, and these will be back on track.

Bonus Commission - Scour the Gate

Thanks so much to the patron who helped fund this one. 

There's so much to love for me in this piece by Murr. Main one though is the background idea I came up with for the location, and see if you can spot where these four have gathered on Valery's fantastic depiction of the Lord's Gate. 

Also finally a ...

Fortnightly Progress - 18th July

• No Haven

Got the hotfix out so that was nice. 

Some people have been playing, completing, and then leaving some really lovely feedback about the Arrogance Storyline which is super nice. 

Also nice that it appears to be relatively bug free out in the wild. Couple of mino...

Alternative July Commission Poll

Short but sweet is the theme for this late poll that should have been up last month. Will run for a week until the 24th and then I'll put the commission poll up for July+August. That will run to around the 5th and then the commission polls will be back on schedule.  

For those that are new the purpose of these poll...

No Haven 0.972 Hotfix - TF Edition

Sorry once more this took so long. If you want more appologizing then see the last fortnightly from last month. At the very least this was step one to stopping the downward spiral, and now to see how the next steps to recovery back to where things should be go.

Unless there is something properly game breaking found with...

Fortnightly Progress - 6th July

I'm really sorry. 

This is bad. No sugar coating it. 

So that cough I mentioned last time. Got worse. A lot worse. Properly incapacitated a family member as well, and yet that's no excuse for the current state of things.

This is entirely on me and on my head, and it's understandable that many of yo...

The Eighty-Fifth No Haven Commission - Hot Seat

Been a long, long time since I've used an entirely new artist. I think it might have been ShadowBoxer so that would be over a year. I'm delighted though with how nice it was to work with Verax and I'm pleased with the result.

The design I had in mind for the archaic Ori'Nek glasses to help differentiate them more from...

Fortnightly Progress - 23rd June

Managed to make it back and with no covid for good measure! Did come back a day later than expected, and with a nasty phlegmy cough to go with my nice tan but I'm still very much calling that a win.

Was a lovely time to finally unwind and the only real issue was that it was just over way, way too fast. 

Going...

May+June Commission Poll and Hotfix Update

So as I mentioned on the last hotfix the plan was to get the hotfix done, to the commission poll yesterday, and go abroad for a week tomorrow. 

Then this week a family member, the family member who is entire the reason why this trip is happening in the first place, came down with covid.

Yeah.
