Black Menagerie: Cyberpunk 2077 Panam Palmer Alt Release

•  Main release for Supporter+ Tiers. Alt release for free.
•  Alt release, which is the best (in my opinion) single angle of the ones I could salvage.

Weekly WIP #81

•  Black Menagerie: Cyberpunk - Panam

Weekly WIP #80

•  Black Menagerie: Cyberpunk - Panam
•  Misc.

• This week I worked on a small project for Labor Day. Why? Why not? I had an idea pop in my head so I ran with it and it's fully ready for release; a 60 second loop. Since Labor Day is Sep 2 and that's a Monday this year, I'll release Labor Day the Saturday prior; August 31st.

•  This coming week will all be about getting what I can of BM - Panam salvaged and together. Maybe I can get it out by next week. Depends on how well it cooperates with me. So unless I poke at other things as well, next Weekly will either be a release or maybe canceled since it wouldn't have anything new to show.

•  I was asked on Discord if I had any plans for the next Black Menagerie yet. I was thinking maybe a fighter game girl, like Tekken or Mortal Kombat. From what I gather, Tekken has a club/rave style music theme already, so that fits with Black Menagerie. Maybe Resident Evil? Umbrella mofos could have like, Rebecca Chambers in a show. Could do a Life is Strange? So yeah, it's up the in air still. I just need to make sure not to do the same things I did with Panam, causing the crash issue I have with her.

Weekly WIP #79 & Mini-Release

•  EZ-PZ Commercial/Loops - Subverse: Demi - Release
•  Black Menagerie - Cyberpunk 2077: Panam Palmer
•  Misc.

•  Earlier this week I posted about the BM - Panam project breaking. Sad to say it's still broken. I'm debating on either salvaging what I can, releasing that and moving on or restarting the entire thing. The former option seems best, even though I hate 'as is' releases.

•  Since things went south on Panam I've spent time testing visual/audio effects in Sony Vegas Pro like 'glitches' and a robotic style voice, which I think turned out pretty well for Demi. As such, I created a little commercial for EZ-PZ Lubricants, which ironically was the first concept for those I had. Heat turned out more fun to use in things though, already having its own commercial awhile back with Mass Effect Kasumi Goto but the EZ-PZ bottles have been a constant as well. So below are 3 loops. One is the commercial itself and the other two are non-music (shocking I know) sound only loops; regular and closeup.

•  I also took some time to poke at other ideas to see which might work for projects and cleaned out some old ones that will never go anywhere. Edited some textures for several models. Looked around for some more music files. Made this week a more 'generalized' week. If I'd kept fighting Panam, well, I might have thrown away a lot more things out of anger. Instead, I made a commercial.

Weekly WIP #78

•  Black Menagerie: Panam Palmer - Cyberpunk 2077
•  Christmas 2024: ???? - ????

• Reverse order just to get it out of the way. CHRISTMAS IN JULY?! Yeah. (Pics with snowman) It's the only holiday I feel compelled to always make something for and to be sure I always get something for it I start them early in case I get backed up on projects or my initial idea doesn't work. I worked Retail for many years and the holiday rush sucked. I don't want to have to holiday rush these, so. Very early WIP of it, of course, and it's already taken a couple drastic changes, somewhat proving my point of an early start.

• Can anyone guess who the girl is? Wait, what? One girl? No (s) added? Singular?! Yup, just the one this time around and it's going to be a bit smaller in general scope. Right now it's the main girl and 4 backgrounders.

• BM - Panam section 1 still needs its final adjustments, then it's ready. Section 2-4, 4 being the credits as well as animation, should come out faster now that the scene is set. Building the scene can sometimes be harder to get set then the animation. Thought I'd show a few of the bits with writing that might go unnoticed. I mean after all, who wants to read when the 'Ramma gets ta Jamma', right? Anyways... The Injector is in her, so that writing wouldn't have been seen anyways.

• Chatted it over with my QA Consultant (friend) about the WIP faded watermark thing on these. Decided it's not really needed, but why not anyways? I know of other creators who had to constantly rebuke comments about 'unfinished work' because people kept reloading pics/video clips they posted as WIP as full releases elsewhere.
