November polls are up.

Hey again everyone. Apologies for the few days in between this and the last post, but I have been recovering after all the crap that I had to do in the last week of October. (There have also been a few minor issues to fix – both in real life and digital… like the autoSSL on this page crapping out for a few hours.) I still hope to squeeze in another side render or two soon – but we will see how things go. For now, I have returned with the new polls – and the results from last time.

Last time there were two polls – one asked how long you have been following me – and it seems split between very long time fans and some very new ones, which is nice. It is always really nice to see long time followers, as well as some very new ones – and thanks again to all who voted, and who follow me/my work. 🙂 The other poll asked if you prefer females to be active or passive – and passive one by one vote, which doesn’t surprise me too much… that tends to be what happens most of the time.

As for the new polls this time, there are two again; and first is a repeat of an old poll that asks what your gender is – just to get an idea of who likes my work and/or checks this site. The second is effectively a new poll, (there was a similar one years back but it was game specific) asking how you feel about impregnation/pregnancy in adult content. So do please vote in those when you see them, and let me know about those – and we will see what else comes up by the time I post another update in a week or so. There is a lot I hope to get done – but who knows what will actually happen. Black friday is also later this month, and I usually do a gumroad sale of some sort for that – so definitely check back for that a bit later… but then again, I may mix things up this time and do something sooner, who knows.

So… if by some chance anyone else out there would actually like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or perhaps even get access to the most recent of these mini-sets and/or lots of other rewards too, 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…) Regardless, check out my updated Patreon page!: https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Any interest, comments, follows, likes, votes, or support really does help. It is hard to keep making new stuff when nobody seems to care.

October mini-set preview is up!

Hey again. I posted a few new side renders last night, after it became apparent that I simply would not have time to fix the rest right now – and that I needed to take what time I had left to prepare the new mini-set preview… but do check those out if you have not already; I quite like them overall, especially the new Halloween render. 🙂 Regardless though, the new mini-set preview is below, and it stars Lucia this time; in her first tentacle mini-set ever… and her first real encounter with tentacles since one of my earliest, pre-RTL story sets. (That feels like a really, really long time ago – and it seems so distant now…) It should be quite fun – and we will see how it all turns out when it is finished; but you can check out the tags on this post to see what I have planned right now, in case you can’t guess already.

As for the more detailed story/setup – there is only a few paragraphs or so this time (for the moment, I may expand it a bit later, not sure – but this seems good for now)… but here that is: Lucia was searching a seemingly abandoned house when she came across a secret door that led to a strange basement. It looked like some kind of strange little church had been set up, with a small box on an altar – and a second, larger one in the center of the room. The chests around the room were locked tight, and she wasn’t sure what was in the bottles that lined the back cabinet… so that left nothing of note except the boxes themselves. The small box felt like it was empty, and Lucia couldn’t seem to get it open without the risk of damaging it. So, she approached the larger box in the center of the room and gave it a closer look… as the catgirl’s ears could hear something moving inside the larger box. Lucia figured there was no major risk, and so she flipped the lid off the box – unleashing the magical tentacle creature that was waiting inside.

The slimy tentacles lashed out with a bright flash, and grabbed the catgirl’s legs before she could move away… and some of it’s other appendages started stretching towards her nether holes – intent on sating itself, and attempting to breed her – not knowing that it was effectively impossible in Lucia’s case. Still though, it could fuck her senseless – which might lead to her getting caught trespassing; which would almost certainly be bad. The cute kitty tried to pry the fleshy limbs off, but there were too many, and it was surprisingly strong for it’s size… so she figured she may as well try to enjoy it – she had “played” with a similar tentacle creature a while back; so Lucia had some idea of what was to come. Her tight catgirl holes were repeatedly violated by the long, squishy tentacles, and each hole got subsequently filled with several dozen loads of the tentacle creature’s thick and stinky seed.  What she didn’t know was that she had wandered into a secret cult headquarters, below an allegedly “haunted” house in the small town she was in; one in which a dozen young women in the town worshiped this very tentacle monster each night – and did all they could to bear it’s offspring, while receiving the immense pleasure it offered them.

The curvy catgirl, however, had no intention of doing either… and planned to make a break for it the moment the creature was satisfied enough to loosen it’s grip. After almost two hours though, it was still having it’s way with her… and she was enjoying it a little too much; this creature had learned extensively about how best to pleasure a female – and she was in no real hurry to leave anymore. Somehow, she ended up staying until night fell – and after several hours and almost a dozen intense orgasms, the catgirl’s pointy ears could hear footsteps above her – and Lucia knew she had to leave while she could. She barely managed to get away from the creature before the cult members found her – and used a conveniently unlocked emergency escape tunnel that was behind a door on the back wall to escape detection. Lucia had once again let her feline curiosity get the better of her… but as per usual, she had somehow managed to avoid any serious consequences. The lusty young women came downstairs moments later and were confused as to why their “god” was already out and active – but within moments, they no longer cared; these cultists had been trained well, and were not ones to ask questions when there was pleasure to be had. Instead, they went back to what they did every night – having untamed tentacle sex, and putting any babies they had into similar boxes that they made during the day… and sending them far and wide; to spread their god’s love to all the women they could.

So that was the setup for this one, I hope those who read it enjoyed it – and we will see what ends up being in the full mini-set whenever it is done next month. I have no idea when I will be back to post the next set of polls – as I am just totally drained at the moment and need a few days to recover. I also hope to get the remaining side renders situated late this week, and then fit in the anniversary mini-set if I can before finishing this mini-set; but we will see what happens.

As usual, if by some chance anyone else out there would actually like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or perhaps even get access to the most recent of these mini-sets and/or lots of other rewards too, 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.

Mini-set done, new side renders late this week.

Hi. Sorry about the gap in posts again – but I have been trying hard to get the side and/or mini-set renders finished up, and each day for the past three days or so, I was fairly sure one of them would be done tomorrow… but I keep adding/changing/fixing things. For the moment though, I finished work on the prior mini-set, and send out rewards to appropriate patrons. That Orc/Elf mini-set ended up at 54 renders total, and I think it turned out really well – the new cum effects/shaders I was testing out look much better to me… and hopefully those who see it will agree. (It will show up in later stuff as well, I am sure.) As I mentioned last time, I can tell that I have made a large chunk of progress in render quality all around this year, for whatever reason – but we will see if that helps things get better soon…

I did also post the second preview for the August mini-set back in the post on here for it, as well as over on the master catalog page – for those interested. Otherwise, I will be back late this week to post whatever side renders I have done by then. Sorry again for the delays on that, but I keep having minor issues and/or going back to fix things, so I don’t have as many as I would prefer ready yet; therefore, I chose to just finish off the mini-set renders first, as those were effectively situated already. Also, thanks for more votes in the polls than usual – but more is always better; so do vote in the polls on the right if you haven’t yet.

So… if by some chance anyone else out there would actually like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or perhaps even get access to the most recent of these mini-sets and/or lots of other rewards too, 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.

General status update: 10/15

Hi again… sorry about the gap in posts – but it isn’t quite what it seemed this time. I had written that full status update thing like I had planned early this week, and it was pretty huge; but – I waited to post it until I thought it over a bit more. Long story semi-short, it all came across as incredibly negative; (which isn’t entirely unwarranted…) and I see nothing good coming out of posting that – so I think that will remain unpublished. However, I will summarize my situation/thoughts very briefly below.

  • Things aren’t going great in terms of interest/support for my work right now… which is concerning; and it has been that way for a while now – but I imagine a large chunk of that is because of COVID. It would be nice if people could at least vote in the polls here on the right, though – it takes like 5 seconds; and even likes, faves, shares, follows, etc. help me know that people are interested.
  • I think the quality of my renders has improved greatly in the past year… so I still have some hope that things might still pick up; we will see what happens in the next few months.
  • I have no real indications as to what people really like and what they don’t – so I am mostly just doing whatever I feel like doing, since I get basically no feedback. (So more feedback would be nice.)
  • All my side projects and other more complex ideas (games, VNs, etc. – anything above animations) are effectively cancelled until things improve significantly… if they even do. (Not that I have had time for much else anyway – there hasn’t been progress on the new game in over a year.)

As for my current status – I am chugging along with the mini-set renders, which are looking quite nice; and doing the side renders as I can – hopefully I can get those posted next week sometime. (I still need like 2 more, as it has been so long and I want to post a bigger batch… I do have one of the Halloween ones basically set though.) The anniversary mini-set and LITC 6 will likely get pushed to next month, but we will see what happens… it is hard to say at this stage. (I just don’t really see me having time to do the anniversary set this month too; and finishing the writing for LITC 6 requires me to be in better mental shape than I am right now – it is extremely draining.) I do also want/need to post a bunch of my work elsewhere, and update my pixiv/redubbble pages… but we will see when I can finally get to that. Hopefully I will be back next week with some other update – but we will see what ends up happening; again though, please vote in the polls on the right.

So… if by some chance anyone else out there would actually like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or perhaps even get access to the most recent of these mini-sets and/or lots of other rewards too, 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.

Mini-set renders done… but side renders likely delayed again.

Hi again. Sorry for the larger than intended gap in posts, but there just hasn’t been anything much to say until today; when I finished/sent out the most recent mini-set with main rewards (to appropriate patrons) – which ended up at 62 images! (It was mostly done last night, but I was just too exhausted to finish compiling everything and writing this up.)

I had wanted to/planned to do the side images earlier in the month, but I have just been so tired and out of it for a couple weeks now; and none of the ideas I have had for side renders have jumped out to me this month – so I just waited. (I have one basically done, I think; but I really want to wait and post them together.) If an idea doesn’t stick out to me as interesting and/or appealing, then I find it doesn’t tend to turn out well if I try and force myself to do it.

Otherwise, more votes in the poll would be nice – especially since I said those would help decide how large the upcoming anniversary set will be… but I guess I didn’t really expect much more than this – there have only been a few votes a month for a fair while. (Which is very disheartening.) I wanted to do that full status brief thing around this time, but that is just not going to happen now – I am far too out of it overall to do something like that… maybe I can get to that soon though. No idea when the side renders will get done, and the only thing I can say is fairly certain is that I will have the new mini-set preview posted by the end of the month. (So much that I want to do… but so little time/energy/motivation.)

To conclude this update… if by some chance anyone else out there would actually like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or perhaps even get access to the most recent of these mini-sets and/or lots of other rewards too, 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.

Status update: 9/12

Hey. I have returned for a quick status update. Long story semi-short, I have not made too much progress in the past week – so the new side renders are still pending. I was really hoping to get a lot done for all of that yesterday, but I was just totally out of sync from the moment I got up yesterday – I can’t really explain it… but nothing much got done. We will see how the next week goes – but it is supposed to be warmer and more humid again… so that may make things difficult once more, we will see.

In the mean time, be sure to check out and/or vote in the polls on the right; especially since the votes will be taken into consideration whenever I get to making the newest anniversary mini-set… which will hopefully be early next month. Otherwise, I guess check back a bit later this week, and hopefully I will have something a bit more concrete to post; but who knows what will happen. I will do the best I can, as per usual; and everything will get done at some point.

To conclude this update, if by some chance anyone else out there would actually like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or perhaps even get access to several of these mini-sets and/or lots of other rewards too, 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.

September 2021 polls!

Hi again all, sorry this is slightly late. I am back with the new polls for September, as well as the results for the prior polls. Last time I asked how people felt about my “Characters” page – and it seems that at least someone likes it… so that’s good, I guess. I also asked last month if anyone would be interested in story sets that continued into multiple parts; and the votes cast seem to think that it could work – which I will keep in mind. Thanks to those that did vote in those… but now we come to the new polls; which are slightly different than what I usually do around this time.

There are once again two new polls on the right of the page… and the first asks how long you prefer your mini-set setups to be, and the second is likely not what a few of you may have been expecting. Previously, I did a special poll around this time of year to decide the subject of that year’s anniversary mini-set, but as I mentioned in another update here last week, I am not doing that this year; since Tabitha is the last girl from the original set that has not yet featured in an Anniversary set, she will feature this time. (Even if I had finished writing up LITC 6 by now, I likely would not offer Onyx as a choice just yet.) However, there is still a second poll up now – but it relates to the mini-sets once more; it asks how you feel about mini-sets featuring new/unique female characters, which is to say, a girl who is not (currently) one of my main/side OCs. (Although two have gone on to become side OCs, and are basically why that term/concept even came about…)

As per usual around this time, more votes will also translate into more effort/images in the Anniversary set – since the base thing will likely be rather small again, due to the low number of vote in recent polls on here… but I will take the votes for this month into consideration as well. So voting in this month’s polls would be advised/appreciated… since everyone gets the Anniversary mini-sets; and I imagine that most people would want more images as well. I might also do a full brief of some sort later in the month, about where I am in regard to certain things, my current plans, etc. (Rather odd situation overall right now, but the world is in an odd situation… so I guess it fits.)

As far as other stuff goes, I did upload mini-set 80 to my gumroad page, for those interested in that. Otherwise, I hope to be back next week with the side renders, and then I am not really sure what else I will have the time/energy for. The Seventh Anniversary mini-set will likely get started/done in early October, at the earliest; as I still have several other things that I really want to get done. (Like LITC 6) Either way, I plan to be back in a week or so with another update if nothing else. August was awful for me – but so far, September looks to be turning out much better already.

As usual, if by some chance anyone else out there would actually like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or perhaps even get access to several of these mini-sets and/or lots of other rewards too, 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; and I am doing what I can on the new game with whatever time I may be able to spare – if any…) Regardless, check out my updated Patreon page!: https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

August mini-set preview is ready!

Hey. I have returned with the new mini-set preview for August – which features the return of a very old side character of mine, Ryna! (The older elf sister from RTL.) I have meant to do a mini-set with at least one of those RTL elves for ages, but never got around to it – until now! As you have likely seen from the preview below, this mini-set will center around Ryna and the slender, female Moon Elf Herbalist that her and Arane have been staying with for the past several months. (The big sister once again feels the need to take charge and earn most of their keep; which has only gotten harder since Arane had a kid…) [EDIT: Second preview now available!]

It was time for a lesbian set of some sort this month as well… so here we go; also don’t think I have had a moon elf in the normal content/world (Luscious doesn’t count – as she is an Xmas elf.) just yet… so here is that too. As usual, you can see what I plan to include in some of the tags on this post, but that may be subject to change, and there are several things that I don’t have tags for… so we will see how it goes. The more in depth story/setup is below, after the break, since it ended up being a bit long – but do check that out if you are interested! 🙂

Zayla mini-set complete, moving on shortly.

Hi again everyone, sorry for the slight gap in posts, but the renders have been going as fast as they can – and now the latest Zayla mini-set is done! It came out to 79 images total, but there are a lot of alternates in there, as I mentioned before; though I do quite like how it all came out regardless. I think I have learned a lot about assorted shaders and that my renders have overall improved dramatically compared to even earlier this year, but definitely since last year. Hopefully I can continue to improve – but things can look too good past a certain point… so we will see how that goes. Also, I posted the second preview for last month’s mini-set, the James/Tabitha one – over in the post for that, and on the master catalog… so do check thato ut if you are interested.

In regard to other content this time around – I just did not have the time/energy, sorry. I have had a ton of crap to deal with this month, and to make matters worse, the weather here had been around 90 degrees F with 80-90% humidity for almost three weeks straight this month; which is one of the worst possible scenarios for my headaches. (I had migraines almost every day, and I couldn’t go outside either.) All things considered, August was probably the worst month I have had in 2021 – although I did manage to make this nice mini-set at least. There was just no way to do more than I did this month, but I will see what I can do in September; I hope/plan to get the new side renders finished after I get the new mini-set preview done/posted. After that, we will see what ends up happening.

So… I will finish that new mini-set preview as soon as I can and get that posted for everyone – so do check back soon for that; and I hope to have all sorts of other new stuff coming up in the near future! 🙂

So… if by some chance anyone else out there would actually like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or perhaps even get access to several of these mini-sets and/or lots of other rewards too, 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; and I am doing what I can on the new game with whatever time I may be able to spare – if any…) Regardless, check out my updated Patreon page!: https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Status update: 8/17

Hey again. I am back with an update, kind of – there isn’t overly much to say yet still. The current mini-set has been chugging along, and there are around 40-ish renders now… though most of those are alternates, since I somehow ended up making two versions of most all of the first 20-something renders. (Bikini, and nude… with some minor physics adjustments.) I did this for a couple specific renders at first, because it seemed fun – but then I figured that I may as well just do it for most of them… so I did. We will see what happens there – but so far, so good.

The weather here is still amazingly terrible though – last week was super hot and humid, and this week it has been (and is supposed to continue to be) around 90% humidity, with assorted thunderstorms all week… which is pretty much the worst thing for my migraines. I will do what I can, but things don’t look/feel great so far this month – it is possibly the worst month so far this year in regard to the weather. With luck, I may be able to get some side renders done… I have no idea at this stage; but likely either those or the story set will get pushed back – and between those, it would likely be the story set, as writing takes more work. I will do the best I can, but I am just being realistic – I doubt everything will get done; this month has been a mess already.

That gumroad coupon I offered in my last post also still has a couple days left to go, if anyone is interested. Also, the polls on the right could use more votes – as always; and I hope to be back soon with something… but we will see what happens – the incoming weather is supposed to be horrific, as I said. I do still need/want to update some of my other pages, which I have not had the time/energy to do yet either… we will see what happens. Making all this is hard enough, but posting it all over the place and taking care of all these pages is a whole other job in itself.

So… if by some chance anyone else out there would actually like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or perhaps even get access to several of these mini-sets and/or lots of other rewards too, 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.
