"Zjera's Picked Pics"; various still shots I thought were the best from this animation. These are free for all while the full animation is a Supporter+ Tier release.

    Lucy MacLean model by @SFMModelMaker.

    Another week gone. Time flies when your SFMing?

    So Sancus Program 3 is off to a rocky start, and by that I mean it's still not going. For some reason I can't get the machine idea sorted to work with the position I want to use. The original idea was a sort of chair themed one, but I scrapped that quickly for a better viewing position, but 4 attempts to sort how it'll function have failed. Not giving up on the position though. I might have to fine tune it some, like where the arms will be.
    Miranda Lawson is gonna find herself with some company in Sancus Program 3 as well, incase some people have missed that piece of info. I had an Original Character created as a sort of "mascot" character. It's not the one I was going for at first, but long story on that later maybe. This one is amazing and I can't wait to start having her in projects. Yes, I'm keeping most info, especially a view of her, secret til Sancus 3 gets released. The most I will give away is her name is Zjai and she'll have the means to bounce around universes/genres/themes when I want to use her in things outside of Mass Effect.

    Protect and Service - Fallout - Lucy MacLean took a slight break this week. Sancus Program 3 setup, testing the OC Zjai, and creating a small loop with a new Dragon Age - Morrigan model (animation posted yesterday here and on X free for all with a Supporter+ Tier alt) ended up the focus. With a small loop and lots of pranking with Zjai out of the way, Lucy can get back to it soon. Taking a bit longer to finish that one that I had thought it would, but finish it will.

    So, I did a small reaction poll on Discord about who to use for a streamed animation. The idea is, since so many people seem to enjoy streams of my creations, to fully make a small loop type animation only on streams. Well, the results are in and Warhammer 40k Sister of Battle won the poll (model shown below). Teen Titans - Raven was a very close second place. I already have the scene figured out for the good Sister, just have to get it going; which that starts later tonight. FYI Discord access granted to all tiers.

    Alas, only 6 tags allowed on posts here.

    Here we are again. Another week gone. Another weekly to post.

    The first section (I decided to make a second song addition) of Sadako is finished. Now I just have to find another song I like for it to continue on. The original project, which stalled til recent, was meant for Halloween; obvious theme/concepts. That hasn't changed, sorry to say, so even if I got this rendered and ready in the next few weeks, it'll sit and wait til Halloween. Gives me a ton of time to do the second section and no matter what the first will be released, so Halloween 2026 is already finished, basically. Frees up the time near then for other things.

    Protect and Service: Fallout is back on track after a pause. Lucy has a first/second parts as well, but only on a single song. Instead, halfway, she gets repositioned. Well, she finally got her change the last few days. Lucy is the main focus now and will be released ASAP.

    And in other news, I've mentioned a few times about Original Characters. I had one commissioned a while ago that didn't turn out so well, which is why despite technically having her, I've not shown her. Eventually I'll have someone fix the rest of her. However, I do have another being made and it's going really well. I'm so excited to have that character being made. She's meant to be the 'brand' character for my things, taking the place of Marie Rose from Dead or Alive who was meant to stand in for Gwen Tennyson from Ben 10. I devised a concept that allows her to be in any genre/universe/theme/concept other characters would be; so she can be with Mortal Kombat one time then in Silent Hill, followed by Life is Strange (although that might be a little too strange honestly....) Point is she's meant to be flexible and "flexible".

    A shorter Weekly this time. Took some time off this week for my birthday and some other things.

    The Letter is render ready. I'll give it a couple more eye overs to look for issues, then start that asap. Should have it ready for next Saturday. I intend to do a free release angle and some upper tier angles/loops/pics/etc. Sorry for not doing that as much lately.

    I don't think I'm gonna have anything ready for the 4th. Not a big deal though. At least I have the Trilla animation going anyways. Once The Letter is ready, it's back to that and Fallout again. Which reminds me; the Fallout - Protect and Service - Lucy MacLean will be a Tier 2+. No freebie with it. Not sure about Trilla yet.

    Lastly for this week, I've been in talks with a model maker/porter about an OC and I'm very excited about it. They're a good model person; I've used several of their models before. More on that as it comes along.

    Alrighty, what do I have for you all this week?

    You know her!
        I don't; never played the games.
    You love her!
        Again, I don't know her, so not especially.
    You wanna see her in a machine bondage situation!
        Ok, now we agree. Easy selling point, but still.

    Anyways. Chatting with a follower, they mentioned this character. I recalled I had a very good model of her by RedMenace/SmuggBastard. We chatted about May the 4th. I decided another Star Wars was due. This is the result, so far.
    It was gonna just be a little loop for May the 4th but like most 'little things' it blew up and is gonna be a major thing instead. So, with that in mind, I will hash a loop that works as a trailer of sorts out at least for the 4th, then the full animation when finished later.
    To expand upon my goofiness; I don't know her, but she does seem interesting. The model is so nice that I am starting to 'love' her; I mean, look at those feet and I'm not that big a foot person. She's also rather petite, so that's a win.

    "But you've typed all kinds of letters!", you say?
    "I don't wanna read!", you exclaim?!

    No worries. That picture with the triple neon hearts is all the reading you'll 'need' for The Letter. Blurred pic of the other chick is part of that too, in case that was confusing. Feel free to guess at who she is, but I'll neva tell!
    Well, I will, just not til I release it. I like my surprises and I've not really been in the position to do one for a while, so. The animation was another 'little thing' that can't stay contained, but that's a good thing, right? More! More! More!
    I started The Letter around 3 days ago and it's going really damn well. It's ironic too, since the first time I used this model in an animation the same kind of thing happened. That animation even turned out to be one of the best (according to most people) I've yet to do, so, maybe this will be an equally spiffy situation. Did that give you a clue who she is?

    Oh no, Fallout - Lucy is in the Misc?! SHE'S GONNA BE ABANDONED!
    It'd be valid to assume, sure, but no. May the 4th is coming up soon and when any project grabs my attention like The Letter I run with it, so she took a backseat for a few. No worries, still plenty of interest and drive to continue that one, but nothing new with her either.

    I've yet to sort anything with that Grace Ashcroft girl from Resident Evil. Would like to have rode on some of the game release hype like Lollipop Chainsaw did, but alas, won't happen.

    My idea for Minthara from Baldur's Gate 3 is on hold, since Trilla kinda stole the animation pose I had in mind. Not that I can't still use it, but eh, not right now. I'd rather space that kinda thing.

    Black Cat has officially been deemed 'abandoned'. See? Worry about Lucy justified.
    I just lost all interest in this, despite what is animated being pretty good. On that note, I will spif up what is there enough to at least throw into a loop; eventually. Kind of a reason I like to keep more info hidden for longer; in case they go this route. Build hype -> abandon -> let followers down. Not a thing I like doing.

    And that's all for this week. Tune back in next Saturday for another exciting episode of WEEKLY! WORK! IN PROGREEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!

    Sorry, kinda hyper this morning.
