Animation Update
This will be a quick update post about the animation, I had finished the keyframing portion and it ends with a grand total of 5822 frames. I will do some more tweaking here and there and projected for rendering in Wednesday and the final animation is projected to release this coming Saturday.In other news, please note that the old tiers will be deprecated and deleted, hence, please switch to the new "Art" or "Art & Animation" to get future rewards. Please check your inboxes for the message.
Moving to new tiers
As previous stated in the March Review video (https://youtu.be/-GEXLIgHN6E), the new tiers for this Patreon page went live on 3/4/2022. Therefore, please go ahead and move to your desired tiers before 10/4/2022 where I will delete the old tiers.The new tiers are as below:
Neko Chief
Master Chief was forced to don a set of lingerie with cat paws and tails by an antonymous admirer just because his helmet has a pair of cat ears. He wasn't impressed by the outfit but his body was telling a different story and the antonymous admirer exploited it.
End of March Review
Instead of writing something that nobody would read, here's me sitting on my couch updating you all of what happened for the past few weeks in March and my plans in moving forward to April.Link: https://youtu.be/-GEXLIgHN6ETL;DR:1. I restructured the reward tiers to 2 tiers effectively 2/4/2022, 1 week grace period will be given to transition to the new tiers before they deprecated and deleted at the end of the week.2. The RvB themed animation will be done by mid April.3. Will post a new illustration by the end of March.
[March Animation] Updates
My current plans for the "Red vs Blue" animation is to do one scene instead of several, due to the source the video clip used for rotoscoping is about one minute long, which corresponded to 1776 frames (before stretching it out to a proper 60 fps) and in my estimation, keyframing the main "landmarks" will take several days and the minor adjustments will take a week or two due to sheer amount of keyframes to work with.I am more preferred producing quality animations compared to just dump it in high quantity that's why I put t...
[March Animation] Red vs Blue
Hello, I just getting round to work on the next animation reward for the month with a different work flow whereby I used a clip as a reference and animate it frame by frame, basically doing rotoscoping or in other words, manual motion capture. In order to give you all the best possible quality, I will be posting this animation some time mid April.In the meantime, I will try to find more time to post more art-related content and more behind the scenes of the animation in due course.
February Animation
I finally get started to work on the animation for this month, I decided to make it short and simple and just having Ghost doing some self relief in a room.However, which version of Ghost would you prefer to see? Fully geared up or just his vest?No tactical gearWith tactical gearAs usual, if it ends up in a tie, I would have to consult a RNG for the final vote.
🎨▶️ February Illustration Pack
All it took was a flip of the switch to turn the two-meter hunk of metal and synthetic muscles into a docile drone. A failsafe used against disobedient combat androids now weaponized against Mastodon, who remained slacked-jawed and silent as he was brought to his knees without protest. The lights in his optics were still on, but there was an almost glassy and unwavering quality in their amber hue. A mind absent behind those optics, unable to process what happened and what was being done.-------Illustration pack for the month of February is rele...

Note: This is just a gif preview of the animation for this month. Full video is available on Followers tiers or higher.Captain rewards a small white worker drone after helping Captain with a particular heavy weight with really messy results and a broken drone.

[1080p 30fps download]Captain rewards a small white worker drone after helping Captain with a particular heavy weight with really messy results and a broken drone.------Okay, this animation took way longer than I anticipated as the month was getting really busy with no reason and also was bogged down by other projects and real life. I spent most of the end of January trying to animate and render all 11 scenes but in the end using only the last 5-6 clips.
🎨▶️ February Image Pack Preview
A horny lab technician disabled Mastodon's offensive and defensive systems to satisfy his deepest and most twisted desires.-------I decided to resume creating image packs for every month in addition to Blender animations.
February Teaser
While the clips for the January animations are still rendering, I started working on the next animation for the month of February and I stumbled upon this Goro model from SmutLabs and I felt like, you know what, let's do a challenge at animating two love organs, and two pairs of arms and facial expressions.
Animation Update
I just finished animating the scenes for the animation this month, I estimated will take a week to render them out and edit them, so stay tuned.
[📽️▶️January Teaser 1]
I have to apologize for the lack of updates on the animation, with the usual excuses of real life issues, creating art and working on a new cosplay helmet despite the fact I started working on this animation back in late December 2021. I still have several scenes left to animate and my plans to get it out before the end of the week is slipping away fast but at the same time I don't want to rush it.I will post another update once I reached the video editing stage, earliest in early February.
🎨▶️[HU-4T]
First impressions of HU-4T was intimidating according to first time customers, describing a 6 foot 5 towering metal, polymer and fat(?). Despite his appearance, HU-4T was soft spoken and had a heart of gold and treats his customers and their food with care.His signature yam rice (taro rice) and the accompanying soup was well received and drew in a lot of customers to the relaunched Coffee Brothers' Café. Little was known about HU-4T, having come to the café to set up stall after the management posted a vacancy for a F&B hawker and everyon...
Crusader1080's Christmas Message
So its that time again for celebration and reflection and looking back for the past 12 months of 2021, I can say I had grown a lot as a creator.When I started working on Blender animations back in June, I don't really expect that much as there were far better animations using either SFM or Blender, hence I was surprised when I saw the positive feedback from Twitter and Patreon with more and more people pledge their support and for the months to come.For 2022, I will try to push out one animation and at least one illustration pack per month ...
Christmas Break
As you can read from the title, I am taking a two week break from Patreon until the new year rolls around starting this Saturday (25th December), but before I go on to my Christmas break, I will release an illustration pack (Christmas themed of course) this Friday.I will be still working on the Captain animation from the time to time during my break but the animation will be release on January next year and hopefully won't get spread out to two months like what happened last time.
December Announcement
Hello fellow Patrons old and new, this will be the final announcement post for the month before the end of the year that is 2021. Let's get down to business:The November-December animation is currently in rendering phase after the completion of the keyframing phase. I expect each scenes will take about an hour to render hence post production and release to Patreon will at most commence at the end of this week if not sooner. So, keep your inboxes open in the meantime.The final animation of the year will involve Captain in a gym like setting....
[📽️▶️ Nanosuit Teaser]
First look
[🔨▶️ Nanosuits]
Here's a small teaser image of the Nanosuits that would be featured in the November animation. The general idea of the animation being the larger Nanosuit is having his muscles worshipped by a smaller Nanosuit with lots of teasing.Adding the VGDS (Vibrating Genetic Delivery System)* is in the to-do list.*whatever it is, something I found from a fanmade Nanosuit diagram.Fun fact, the models are rigged using an office PC at work.
📝▶️ November Character Announcement
After that shitshow that was the October-November animation with lots of failed rigging attempts and other delays, the next animation will move into production this week and the targeted release at the end of the month.This month, I will feature the Nanosuit(s) from Crysis set in a jungle environment, unlike previous animations, I decided to put sexual interactions at the very end of the animation and put muscle worship and admiration and teasing as the forefront. As an experiment to change things up a bit.I will post a screenshot of the rigged...

Having a rod shoved into his meat sounds fun yeah?

Mastodon was assigned by the upper management of the military base to give swimming lesson to the fellow soldiers at the camp and you know things will spicy in the end with a big hunky robot like him.

📽️▶️ [October Teaser] Motel Fun
Contrary to the previous poll, I decided to swap Reaper for Soldeir 76 after wrestling for weeks trying to get the rig for Reaper to work as Blender's rigging tools and AutoRig Pro disliked the Reaper mesh.With a model swap, the animation can finally be in production, hopefully I can get it out at late October or early November.
October Character Selection
So I decided to do 3 art packs for October (in no particular order or size of the pack). I settled on Squid Game, Pyramid Head and Mastodon and there could be Halloween themed illustrations featuring these characters.
Final Decision
Well, both options are tied for the poll I made yesterday and its time for me to make the final decision on the matter.I decided on Soldier 76 & Reaper.
Regarding for this month's Patreon Animation
Which are your most preferred character combination?
