Tag Archives: Status Update

Last mini-set done, starting on new stuff shortly.

Hi again! I am back with a status update, and the second preview from the Lucia mini-set from January – that is over in the original post for that, as well as over on the master catalog. I have finished the Karen x Matt mini-set, and that ended up being 66 images total – close to my record with that Zayla x Nightmare Salune mini-set. I just sent that out to appropriate patrons, and I even got all that I wanted in there; which is rare… and it is all also quite nice on top of that. 😀 I think those who are interested will like it; and my patrons have the second preview of that now… but it will get posted here in a month, as per usual. (Figured out a few neat things while working on that as well.)

As far as what my plan is now, I am not as early as I had hoped with this – but it is earlier than I have been recently managing with these… and this mini-set was huge to boot. I still hope to get a new story set worked in for next month – but I will see how the next week goes; I do also have two doctor appointments on the 31st, which may complicate things a bit… but I will do the best I can. I will definitely get the preview for the new mini-set done before the end of the month; but I am not sure how much progress I will be able to make on a story set… we will have to see how that goes. I may only post one or two previews at first; not entirely sure yet, and this is even assuming that I can get enough done on it to work that in for next month’s Patreon rewards. I also hope to fix up a couple of my various pages a bit in the near future… and notably add some new stuff to my redbubble page sometime soon – but that will likely be sometime next month at the earliest.

More votes in the polls on the right would also really be appreciated.

Gonna also throw this out here, as I do – if anyone out there would 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 other 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: 3/15

Hey once again. I apologize for the late update – but there just has not been much to say. I have been working on the mini-set renders; and those are slightly over halfway done now… so that will hopefully get wrapped up within a week; which might finally get me enough time to make a new story set. I really want to get that done for several reasons – not least of which is introducing a new main character… which I think people will really like. 😀

I had planned to do this a year and a half ago… but then I got into attempting to make that second game, which then got stalled within a few months due to lack (or massive dip, really) of support/interest, lack of time, and a couple other major issues. It then took quite a while to get back to this… primarily due to me starting to make mini-sets larger than my old story sets by this point; but, I can definitely tell that my assorted work has definitely improved since I made the last preview of this new character. I will see how things work out… but you all will likely first see the new character whenever I get the previews posted for LITC 6.

Otherwise, the two polls on the right could really use some more votes – so please vote in those if you haven’t yet… which you probably haven’t. Do please also follow me on twitter, pixiv, slushe, and DA if you don’t already do so; a lot of side stuff gets posted there first at the moment. (The links for those are over on the right.) Also, happy early St. Patricks day – for those who celebrate that. 🙂

So… as always – if anyone out there would 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 other 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

March polls for 2021.

Hi again all. I am back with some new polls, as well as the results from last time. There were at least a few votes in the polls last time, which is nice; although the results are a bit inconclusive.

The first poll from February asked what alignment of female character you preferred, and both good and evil girls tied for first – with neutral only one vote behind. The second poll was a very old poll revisited – and apparently more people still favor darker content; which is not overly surprising. I try to keep things reasonable, in terms of plots/setups – but I can work in some darker things at times if need be, via one of many methods. (The Zayla/Nightmare Salune mini-set from last November was likely the darkest thing I have done in a while; and that mini-set is now available on my gumroad page, by the way.) However, I do not want it to be dark all the time – so there are/will always be lighter bits to go with the heavy/dark ones, like the current mini-set… which I basically made as a real life parallel of sorts, to help encourage/reassure people. As for the alignment poll – I have plenty of other characters that I hope to work in sometime soon, of both alignments… but I believe a new evil character is up next – whenever I can finally get to it. So do keep checking back for that. (Old Patrons even got an early preview of this character a long ways back…)

As for new polls, there are two once more – the first is a revisit of an old poll, asking how often you re-view content that you have previously seen; and the second poll asks how you feel about silent characters. I tried to cover all based with the answers offered, so be honest. Please do vote in those new polls, and let me know about that. 🙂

In terms of my current status – my one week check up after my surgery yesterday was fine, so I should be good for a while now… I hope. As far as I can tell right now, things are on track for this month… but anything can happen. I will do the best I can, as always – and check back soon for updates!

As per usual – if anyone out there would 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 other finished story sets, and larger versions of the completed animations I have made/posted, and/or the full games I have also made.

Previous batch done – moving on to the new mini-set.

Hi everyone. Sorry for the delay with all this – but my last surgery was a bit of a mess; and they were several hours late… and I have been a bit out of it since then for assorted reasons. However, I did manage to get the previous mini-set renders done – meaning the solo Lucia pinup one. It ended up at 32 images total, but there are a lot of alternates in there… and even as limited as it is, I still really like it and think it came out really nice. 🙂 (This one is also more in tune with what I had originally planned/intended these mini-sets to be way back whenever… before I somehow ended up making 60+ image mini-sets with elaborate/complex scenes, as has recently been the case many times.) As usual, my Patreon patrons get the second preview a month early, and it will get posted here late next month. I did also go ahead and post the second preview for the December mini-set, with Belle – in the original post for that, and in the master catalog… so do check that out as well! 🙂

I think things are on track for something else to get done next month; but we will see what happens. I had hoped to do it this month back in January – but then I found out that I needed to get all this surgery… and then it was all I could do to do the side renders and mini-sets this month. More votes in the polls would be nice – and I will be back to redo and go over those in a few days… I will likely let those go another day or two extra since February is so short.

So… check back tomorrow for that new mini-set preview; I am going to do all I can to get that finished in time… but it is going to be messy. (A lot of time lost to real life/medical stuff, and February has fewer days to begin with.) Also, for anyone new here – do check out my assorted free content and/or galleries, all are readily accessible up top! 😀

To conclude this update – if anyone out there would 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 other 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: 2/22

Hey again. I just wanted to stop by and give a small status update here on the site before I have one last surgery done tomorrow – which may keep me from doing much for a day or two. I am still working on the mini-set renders; since things have been messy this month with all the assorted real life stuff I have had to do, but I should still be on track to get this done in time. I have also gotten several of the revamps/updates to my characters done, which helps clear the road for future content (although I do still need to do two other ones in particular in preparation for the next story set) – notably some new “main” content… which I am hoping that I will finally get time for next month. (I had a ton of crap to deal with that I was not expecting at the end of January… and February has fewer days to begin with. March should be pretty clear though – and no side renders or anything.)

Also, I did attach a revisit/alternate to that Helenya pinup I made like six months back, with inverted/full lighting… which people seem to like, so here that is on the main site as well. 🙂 I will be back as soon as I can be with the other mini-set preview in a few days, as well as the new mini-set preview… but expect that to be on Friday, Saturday, and/or maybe even Sunday. As always, I will do the best I can. Quick final note, more votes in the polls would be appreciated as well.

As these updates usually end with – if anyone out there would 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 other finished story sets, and larger versions of the completed animations I have made/posted, and/or the full games I have also made.

Happy Valentines day – two new side renders posted on DA/slushe/Patreon!

Hi again everyone! I am still technically on time with this, and I think/hope you all will enjoy at least one of them – depending on your tastes and/or idea of what Valentine’s day should be. 🙂 Go check those out if you haven’t already – and do keep in mind that there are a bunch of other renders that I have made available totally free; the side renders are on my DA/slushe pages still (at least until I get a side render gallery made here) – but all the main content and older story sets are here, and available for free download up top! 😀

In terms of a status update… I still have a couple doctor appointments this coming week – so we will see how things go… but the last few things took more out of me than I thought; so things may run late again – we will see what I can manage. I have also been going over my characters and fixing/redoing a bunch of stuff that I have to do since I moved my content library, as I mentioned a while back… but as I said before, I have needed to go over all this anyway – so that works out. More votes in the polls here would really be nice though.

So anyways… if anyone out there would 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 other finished story sets, and larger versions of the completed animations I have made/posted, and/or the full games I have also made.

February 2021 polls.

Hey. So it is time for the January poll review… and the new polls. There was only one vote in each poll last month; which is extremely depressing… but at least they were both fairly positive. (They were in favor of a side render gallery here, and liked my previous short story.) I will see about doing that side gallery soon(ish) – bit it will likely be a while; the same is true of another short story, but mostly because I have a bunch of other stuff lined up to do already. Also, I did add the newest retired mini-set (#73, the Xan/bandit queen one) to my gumroad page, here: https://gumroad.com/redleatherart?sort=newest

As for new polls – I put two new ones… the first asks about what alignment of female character you prefer in adult scenes; and the second is a revisit of a very old poll, asking how dark you like your adult content. I had planned on having a special poll to decide the subjects of a bonus (and almost certainly explicit) couple render, for Valentines day; but I am not going to bother with that now. Not sure why nobody wants to vote in the polls (maybe it was the subject matter – but not sure why people wouldn’t be interested in a side render gallery) – people are viewing this page, and it takes literally only seconds to vote… but it is what it is, I guess. More votes would really be appreciated – I don’t think that is much to ask for.

I will see what ends up happening later this month, in terms of other stuff; but I have a handful of doctor appointments/procedures in the next couple weeks – to follow up on one yesterday… which is a fair bit of time I won’t have available. As per usual, I will do the best I can – but things seem fairly messy already… and my motivation is quite low. I am really going to try and get the side renders done in time for the 14th, though – so check back in a week or so for that. There is also all sorts of free content up top, for anyone that is new to my site. 🙂

As I usually end posts with – if anyone out there would 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 other finished story sets, and larger versions of the completed animations I have made/posted, and/or the full games I have also made.

Prior mini-set renders almost done, and second preview from November mini-set posted!

Hey once more. I know this is a bit late again, but that is just how things have been during most of this virus mess for the past year – it is what it is… and at the very least I am consistent. I have learned a lot from this latest mini-set I have done – and much of that is related to the fancy/excessive skin shaders/lighting that I am trying out; primarily in the later parts of scenes, where it makes more/any sense. Things definitely look fancy… (and people seem to like it… and/or are just attracted to shiny things, like cats; hard to know the reason) but it makes renders even slower than before; which is somewhat of a problem, given my limited machine and low budget. (I also made several minor mistakes in here… that all needed re-rendering/fixed, which did not help.) Long story short though – I should have the Belle/Luscious mini-set done and sent out tomorrow sometime; but I wanted to just post that other preview for the Faye/Tentacles mini-set today… just to space things out a little better. So, check out the master catalog up top and/or the main post for that Faye mini-set down below to see that second preview – and I will be back before the end of the month with the preview for the new January mini-set!

Also, as previously stated in my last post here, please vote in the polls on the right; there are not many votes for whatever reason… and more would really be appreciated – especially since the polls end in like a week.

Sooo… if anyone out there would 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 other 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: 1/20

Hey again. I just wanted to stop by with a small status update for the site here; even though I am still working on the prior mini-set renders. It does seem like a lot of people liked the new Helenya render I made recently; which is very nice to see – even though I know I liked it. 😀 (It is already the most popular render I have posted on DA for a fair while now; and it has not even been up that long.) I hope my other upcoming renders will be as well received… but we will see how that works out when we get there. I do plan to make some new side renders next month – likely at least one for Valentine’s day… so we will have to see what happens around then. 🙂

In regard to other things – more votes in the polls would really be appreciated; there aren’t many votes right now for whatever reason… plus, both of those polls are important, and will likely have pretty direct results. So if you have not voted in the polls on the right yet, please do so! Otherwise, I will be back in a week or so with another update and/or the new mini-set preview from last time. The new mini-set still needs a lot of work to finish the remaining bits; but I will see how it all works out – it may still need even more time than that, especially since these renders are going very slowly due to all the fancy lighting and such in the xmas elves scene.

As per usual… if anyone out there would 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 other finished story sets, and larger versions of the completed animations I have made/posted, and/or the full games I have also made.

Early 2021 Patreon changes, and that new special Helenya render!

Hi again everyone – I know this is a bit later than I was planning/hoping for… but I think the renders (I made a nude alternate, because why not) below will help justify that. 😀

First off, though – the Patreon changes; which are not major, but I am hoping that they will help a bit… especially as things improve for everyone in the coming year. I changed the two mid-high tiers on my Patreon to now focus on giving old mini-sets as an extra reward… with the option of getting a standard commission instead, for the second highest. All the tiers have been renamed as well – but that was also a long time coming. The main change that I hope will go a long way is that I have put in a special, fallback extra to the $8 tier (and only that tier); which will be available any month where I do not post a new story set, or whatever to that tier… which has been the case for well over a year by this point. I know I really should have put this in sooner – but everything just went off the rails during this past year or so… and it sort of just got buried under everything else that I wanted/planned/tried to do. Plus, I honestly have been planning/trying to do the next story set for six months or so now; but I just never could find the time. That special, extra new fallback being that $8 Patrons can choose any one mini-set from the given selection to receive that month, as a bonus of sorts. (The current selection is my first 50 mini-sets… but that will likely expand over time; and/or have temporary exceptions/specials.) I think this is how things will be for a while, though… but there may be some minor edits in the coming months – there is no way to tell just yet.

For a bit of context as to why this special render (and the nude alternate) took a while – I chose to go ahead and do something that is as dangerous as it is boring… and yet very necessary; which is going over all the materials on my characters. The primary reason for this is my moving my runtime folder to a new drive, and that fucking up all of my previously saved Octane materials. The other part of it is a long and confusing story for people who don’t do 3D work, but effectively several (mostly minor) things on many of my characters have been improperly configured for a while now… (I have noticed several little things over the past year or so – and fixed them when it was a problem; but now I know what two things in particular tend to be causing it… and somehow it was just auto-configured wrong) and I have to edit their main character files to fix it. However, this runs the risk of something unintended/weird happening – and/or something getting corrupted. (I know that sounds silly, but I have actually had it happen twice now already – and I didn’t even go fiddling with the files at the time… it just happened on it’s own somehow; and the second time, I had to effectively remake the character to fix it… it was truly corrupted.)

As Helenya won the special poll for the first promo render of 2021, I did her first… after backing up her main files, of course. I think everything went quite well – and even though this took a fairly long time, it is simply necessary to finally go through everything – and make some minor adjustments too. Looking at the resulting renders after her corrections, I think it was worth it… but I admit part of this is me understanding advanced lighting a bit better than I used to years ago as well. So… things should be slightly different, and yet overall much better in upcoming renders – and that includes the xmas elf mini-set I am still working on. (Which will be a while still.) Those special renders are below, so check those out! I hope you all enjoy them. 😀

Sooo… if anyone out there would 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 other finished story sets, and larger versions of the completed animations I have made/posted, and/or the full games I have also made.
