I'd shown this off awhile back as either a WIP or a practice. Maybe it was just a scene build. I'd poked at it here and there since and it became something decent. Showing it off fully to my "Product Assurance Advisor" as well as a couple of high tier supporters, their reactions convinced me to go ahead and spiffy it up and make it a release.

    I mean it is good, really. Even I like it, and I tend to hate my own things more often than not. I have a few more things on par as well that might get finished and released later on as well.

    So Lae'zel finds herself alone in the Underdark. How she got there, who knows. While she's there though a few female Drow catch her and make use of her. I sorta assume the shocking spell magic thing is akin to Heat Lotion in effect. Lae'zel, being the snarky defiant bitch she is, resists as much as she can. Can't resist forever though.

    Doing a lot of close ups and camera motions in/out of the animation. Lots of camera practice/testing.  Not sure about runtime yet either. It's still being sorted/animated. 2-3 minutes though so far, maybe more. ETA for release is either next Saturday or the one after, depending on how much I add to it. Either way this is the next release, for sure. Back-to-back BG3 things. I do like Lae'zel though.

    Soundless loop of a 'what if' scenario for Baldur's Gate 3. 'What if' your character didn't survive the crash or and Shadowheart ran into Lae'zel down the road?

    This was a practice/model test more than anything, but like a lot of those saves, it was something decent enough to fix up for a release of some kind. Nothing special, but hope you all like it.

    Figured I'd make a test animation into a loop, since it was pretty decent. According to a Discord follower, I'd shown this off some awhile back. I don't recall it, but I don't recall lots of things these days.
    Ever wonder, since there are so many different ways to do things in BG3, what would happen if your character never showed up or didn't survive the crash? Maybe some of the party still find one another. Maybe they don't. Maybe they become friends. Maybe...they don't.
    My little take on Lae'zel and Shadowheart finding one another then later on; Camping.

    Trying to find some voice lines I can use without having to download some 10-hour long bullshit to sift through. Why finding voice clips has become so hard I dunno. Loop is 12 seconds and might not loop very well since Shadowheart is a bit wiggly. Will be released with or without sound next Saturday.

    In other news, the previous WIP's question of 'Who' has been decided. Black Cat did in fact win out over the others. I even ventured into non-hero choices, just in case. In the end she just fit the idea best, was a great choice for model quality and was a featured character on my banner, which for some reason I saw as a small list of 'must use' people. Not sure why, but eh.
    Next up for that project? Scene build. Thankfully it should be small. This theme of animation won't have many, if any, camera changes.

    A new year brings about new ideas...
    Not really, I've had this in "The List" for a long time already.
    Anyways, the idea here is a live stream featuring someone. "Who" is the question though. A heroine, in my opinion for theme, makes the most sense, thus the current potential lineup.  Before anyone gets overly excited, this is not a multi-character project. Each girl shown is not going to be in this or even have an alternate project of it. It's a selection process, not who is already selected.
    I was originally going to use Supergirl but checked a few other models for it and found several that I liked the idea of. Black Cat though is the current lead for a few reasons.  Firstly, the model is fantastic all around.  Second, she's one of the girls on the banner I was using, and it seems appropriate to use them sooner than later.  But lastly and most important, the project needs to be a very long runtime, so the model needs a lot of extremely good facial flexes for animated emotions. All of these have that, but hers are the best.  Just her default look has an emotional aspect to it. Yeah, I had her look at the camera too.  Black Widow has the best butt though.
    So, this week, and a lot of random time last month, has been spent making a UI type stream screen overlay with the Lovense style theme. Tokens are bought and spent to change the events.  Time spent sorting who with outfits and all that.  Prep-work for the general scene.  Lots of texture edits or creations from scratch.
    The 'who' is still up for grabs.  Black Cat is in the lead, but that's not a sure thing and I still have other characters to poke at, just in case, but she is pretty far ahead.

    In other news, some projects shown earlier last year are still in progress, even if super slow.  Tekken Emilie 'Lilli" de Rochefort is still going, just not very fast. It is nearly in a state that would be releasable, rather than a more involved and finished project, so given that I've lost a lot of interest in it, it may go that route.  Or it gets shelved til I finally get back to it.
    Probably some other projects I'm not remembering.  That happens though.  Things get lost and forgotten.  I have longer ideas in mind, but worry they'll take too long to create/release.  Will see how things go.

    Also, Happy Late New Year.
