Happy Halloween, some new side renders posted!

Leave a reply

Yo, Happy Halloween everyone. Sorry for the slight gap in posts again – but I decided against posting last week, as there wasn’t much to say yet… and the total votes in the polls here were intensely depressing. One of those things has not changed as of this post… which is definitely not great to see; but I do at least have two (three, kinda) new side renders for you all to see – mostly over on my DA/slushe pages, with the new Halloween one also posted below. Do note that the one render with just Helenya is an old Patreon exclusive render from like… 4(?) years ago – and I likely will have to delete it from my page soon, so I am choosing to post it elsewhere now. (With a handful of other things like it to be sprinkled in soon as well – but this one was Halloween themed, so here it is now.)

Quick, important note: I take the votes in the polls here on the right as a general interest gauge, and/or feedback – so when nobody votes, I find it quite hard to justify making much that month… which is in no small part why there is only one “new” Halloween render this time around, and why the third new render didn’t get finished in time. I have no idea why nobody voted this time around, but do please do that if you care, and/or want to see more of my work. I am already near rock bottom right now in terms of motivation, due to all the assorted factors going on – such as the effective/probable loss of my Patreon page… (not that I ever even made much on it anyway, which is possibly even more depressing) so if I feel nobody really cares about my work, there really isn’t much reason to make/post much anymore. Voting is free, and takes like 5 seconds – I really see no good reason for not voting; especially when both were going to be used in helping to decide what was supposed to be made that segment.

Not much else to say yet – I have not even really started trying to get my Patreon page re-sorted, or anything else with my various other pages; I have just been too busy/out of it. (That hike a week ago finished me off for a few days – my knees in particular hurt a fair bit from all the uphill parts.) I will probably be back with at least one new poll in a few days… but I am not even sure of that anymore. No clue when any other new content will get done; especially with my motivation near zero, in addition to my high fatigue. The plan was to try and finish the writing/composition for LITC 6; but that is not happening in the near future, based on how I feel today. Maybe things will improve near the end of November, and I can work on that… but I definitely have to go through all the posts on my Patreon page sometime in the next month, and “””fix””” all that crap – which is going to be all kinds of sad. However, I don’t have much of a choice, given Patreon’s upcoming nonsensical policy changes. (NSFW pages soon have to submit various “””proofs””” of ID, including a photo – everything someone would need to totally steal/assume your identity, just in order to exist… on top of the already existing rules of no public NSFW, etc.)

Lastly, if there is any chance anyone out there would actually like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or get access to one of my latest/best mini-sets, (this month gets a choice of any mini-set of choice for the middle $15 tier, and I currently plan to just have it remain like that for what little time my Patreon likely has left – I have no clue when you will be able to get the games again once I redo my Patreon, so now may be your only chance) like the remaining finished story sets, and larger versions of the completed animations I have made/posted, and/or the full games I have also made, (the micro VN and Salune’s Slave Training are still available via my Patreon page; not sure what else may come in the future at this point…) check out my Patreon page!: https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Any interest, comments, follows, likes, votes, or support really does help. It is really hard to keep making new stuff when nobody seems to care. Following me on DA/slushe/pixiv/twitter/whatever doesn’t cost anything – and that all does help spread the word about my work… so please consider doing some of that if you haven’t already.

Yo. I really meant to post something here last night, but I was so out of it that I forgot; sorry about the gap in posts there. Long story semi-short, I have been quite busy with life stuff the past week especially – so there has not been a lot of progress with renders per se. My one hike is tomorrow, so I am really looking forward to that and hope that it will be nice weather, etc. We will see what happens after that, but I am planning to do what I can render-wise this month after I get back from it – and into next week; as I have had a fair bit of preparation, etc to do in the lead up.

Also, more votes in the polls would be really nice… I have stopped by to check the votes here a few times this month and the current number of votes is quite depressing, to say the least; which sure doesn’t help my low motivation. It only takes a few seconds, so please do vote in the polls.

Otherwise, I really hope to be back with some new stuff next week – not sure exactly what, but likely side renders for Halloween, as stated previously. There is also a ton of clerical crap I have to do for my Patreon page, and other stuff for this project sometime soon when I can manage it… so that isn’t going to be fun. (Still not totally sure wtf to even do after the effective loss of my Patreon page, really.) I will see what I can do though – as I have said, I don’t want to give up on this project and/or my art anytime soon; I just had to scale things back a fair bit due to assorted factors. Really hoping things will pick back up soonish – but we will see what happens.

Finally,  if there is any chance anyone out there would actually like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or get access to one of my latest/best mini-sets, (this month gets a choice of any mini-set of choice for the middle $15 tier, and I currently plan to just have it remain like that for what little time my Patreon likely has left – I have no clue when you will be able to get the games again once I redo my Patreon, so now may be your only chance) like the remaining finished story sets, and larger versions of the completed animations I have made/posted, and/or the full games I have also made, (the micro VN and Salune’s Slave Training are still available via my Patreon page; not sure what else may come in the future at this point…) check out my Patreon page!: https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Polls for October 2022.

Leave a reply

Hi again. Sorry the polls are a bit late again, but it is how it is – really not much to be done at this point. I am trying to recover a bit, as I said last time; but I have not had much success as of yet… especially since I have a bunch of crap that I need/want to do relatively soon. I effectively have not really taken a solid vacation in years, and find that idea weirdly hard to do at the moment; so all I could really manage is signing up for some day trip things later in the month via REI. Hopefully that will help things out a bit – but that is at least two weeks away… so there is still some downtime before that where I need to figure out some other things.

In other news, I did finally hear back from Patreon’s policy team again – not long after making my last post, as I figured. Allegedly I can change my page from NSFW to SFW and not have to do this bullshit “””id verification””” crap – but we will see what happens. They also mentioned that there is no batch post editing… (because I asked) so I would likely have to go through all 400 something of my Patreon posts over seven years individually and delete most of them, or perhaps wipe my page entirely and just start over – if that is even an option. It would be a sickening amount of unnecessary work to go through all that and delete most of it… but if that is my only option, I guess I don’t have much choice – that is better than probable identity theft. Again, its not like I was making much on there anyway… so I guess it isn’t as bad as it could be.

This does effectively mean I cannot give out any notable rewards on there either… as it will be relegated to SFW only, and basically just be a tip jar; but I will see if I can figure something out. Again, see what happens; not at all happy about this whole mess… especially not happy about how Patreon is just waving their hands at the whole affair and pretending like they are completely innocent in this, when they are going along with what is allegedly the demands of mastercard with no real opposition that I have seen. (I detest companies that show a lack of regard/care for their customers; either some or the whole – as one almost always tends to lead to the other.)

Last time, there were two polls – the first asked how you felt about onomatopoeias in adult story sets, and most people seemed to be either neutral or positive… so that will be taken into consideration. I personally am not overly fond of them, but I have considered using some in upcoming stuff if possible… so I may give that a shot whenever I can get to it. The second poll from last time asked about how much clothing you preferred during sex in adult images, and most of you clearly preferred either no clothing or as little clothing as possible – which is good to know, and matches what I tend to see in most content. I am fairly certain it is often done for convenience, in many cases – but it does also help show things off a bit better… so fair enough. Thanks to those who voted, and please go ahead and vote in the new polls as well. 🙂

There are also two new polls up – and they are below and on the right; so please vote in those. The first poll asks how you feel about Halloween in general – pretty straightforward. The second is a classic poll brought back once more – where you can vote for your favorite of my main OCs… and you can pick up to three (3); so definitely let me know your thoughts on those!

No idea what may come this month, but as stated last time – I am planning on prioritizing the Halloween side renders and such. Other than that, I have a ton of back end crap to try and do at some point – including updating some of my other pages that I have been meaning to for months, like Redbubble, trying to make a side render gallery here, and of course, going through all my Patreon posts in order to try and make it SFW.

Finally,  if there is any chance anyone out there would actually like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or get access to one of my latest/best mini-sets, (this month gets a choice of any mini-set of choice for the middle $15 tier, and I currently plan to just have it remain like that for what little time my Patreon likely has left) like the remaining finished story sets, and larger versions of the completed animations I have made/posted, and/or the full games I have also made, (the micro VN and Salune’s Slave Training are still available via my Patreon page; not sure what else may come in the future at this point…) check out my Patreon page!: https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart
