Business or Pleasure

When the Penguin is away, the chickadees will play. Tracey and Candy, Penguins loyal ladies, caught a curious cat in the club.

• I like how the lights turned out. It's taken a bit of time to learn exactly how the various sliders effect the lights in SFM. Poor Ashley's was so washed out they might has well not have been in it really; but that was a while ago now.
• I enjoyed making this one a lot. Back to the music roots which I intend to stick with more again.
• Also put the countdown intro back on it, since it was already attached to the flashing lights warning. As a follower once said when I'd stopped using it, it was/is kind of a uniqueness to my videos, so why not leave it on.
• As usual, after the render/compile and it's 'finished and ready', then I see some glitches. Never fails. Nature of the beast or whatever.
• Hope you all like it.

Weekly WIP #47

• Business or Pleasure: DC Comics - Catwoman/Selina Kyle (Sept 9th)
• Misc.

• Still rendering Catwoman. Found some small glitches along the way so far and fixed them, though there's always something that slips by. It's in the style of Ashley Grahm's video, but a lot more flashy. Viewers should be cautious about flashing lights on it. I prefer to release things in place of Weekly WIPs, so officially she'll be released on the 9th.

• Not much else happened really this week. Some minor things were poked on other projects or models, but Catwoman has been the focus; getting her finished and rendered. So this Weekly, like most before a release, is small. More like a Render Report. Oh, I did find some more music, woo! That's always a plus.

Weekly WIP #46

• So I was really impressed with @SFMModelMaker's Sif, Freya and now Thrúd models that I bought them all, grabbed the two Back 4 Blood characters off SFMLab.com and hatched an idea for the God of War girls. The Knightly Order of Heated Desires, aka Heat Inc. in 'olden times', have a dungeon. I pieced together a quick Sif scene. I'll be refining it and making Freya and Thrúd's later, combining them into a single project and then adding sound. But I thought the Sif as is might be appreciated for now. Sort of like a trailer. And look; a foot shot. With toes flexing.

• It occurred to me that my fictitious Black Menagerie Club, as well as Heat Inc., fit really well in Cyberpunk. Corrupt Mega Corp with their own mercs and agendas and all that. So, when hacker Judy Alvarez got caught trying to hack into Heat Inc. files, the sent her off to a Ramma'Jam Tech Lab at Heat Inc. I thought the up-close face shot was nice, so I found a few instances during what I have of the video so far that looked really good. Also retextured a shirt to an OC to be the technician. Reminds me of a Hooters shirt. I like it. Also made a magazine cover for the video, with intent on making more for it and for others later.

• Hermione is still under works. Got a little distracted this week with new models and ideas. I have time though.

• Catwoman also got some attention. Her lighting effects are coming out fantastic. It's what videos like Ashely Graham should have been in that regard. Her entire video is laid out for shots, I just have to set the lights in each, add some more to the overall animations and adjust for cameras.

• Rey from Star Wars has been upped from a small loop based on a pic to full video status, including alien voice lines with hopes of finding a voice actress for some Rey lines. I'm looking forward to that Sandcrawler port when it's finished.

• Lastly, Guan Yinping has been shelved for a bit. I have so many things going I need to narrow it some and she has the least interest for me right now. Probably some other ones I'm not thinking of right now that are shelved too, I'm even sorting this year's Christmas ideas, so yeah, lot of things going.

Weekly WIP #43

• DC Comics - Catwoman\Selina Kyle
• Nintendo - Zelda
• Misc.

• Picture of Zelda is just so there's a visual other than the stupid blur pink things (video thumbnails). The first blur pink thing (video) is the WIP animation associated with Zelda. Working on fingers/hands and general motions mostly. I think it's pretty decent considering its new for me to do. Getting more use to the idea of multiple shots instead of one really large one as well. Sancus: Miranda was one really long one, Valentine's Day was multiple.

• Second and third blur pink things (videos) are animated previews of Catwoman. The first I stopped all movement except the vibrator and the second is the general movements. I think that project is looking pretty good. Focus is still mostly it.

• I was working on a Halloween project last year, but stopped to focus on, I think, Crossing the Line. I might pick up on that Halloween one very soon and see if I can get it finished this time. The scene was already built, with effects, which was a stormy graveyard for those that might recall.

• I didn't work on Ángel this week. What time I had for animating I used on Catwoman and practices. I might rush it a bit, to be honest, just to clear it off the list.
