Yo. I just wanted to check in again, even if there isn’t much to say – just letting you all know that I am still around, etc… I really don’t want to just vanish without a trace, as some artists have done before. (I always felt like it is better to at least let people know your plans, worries, etc – rather than disappear and leave them wondering what the fuck happened to you; I have seen that far too many times over the years… and yes, things do happen sometimes, but still.)

The weather here is still being weird – but there may be hope in the future, it is hard to say… regardless, I am really uncertain as to how I can really do much with this anymore; just doing what I need to do takes up most of my time these days. We will just have to see what happens – but… I am seriously considering basically just putting all this aside at the end of the year now; not that I have done much render work this year, but still – I have been trying to work on things, and that is still unnecessary and pointless additional stress on me at this point. This was never profitable or popular anything – so it is not like I am losing much per se; and it is just at the stage where I don’t have time anymore, regardless. We will see how things go – but I am just tired in general; this year has been a mess and a blur at the same time.

I will be back at the end of the month with a status update, if nothing else… but I do plan to have my usual black friday gumroad sale at some point around black friday as well – and this very well may be the last one I do; so if for whatever reason you want any of my old mini-sets, and do not yet have them, consider getting them whenever that sale goes on – likely late next week.

Hi again. I wanted to just make a post to give an update and say Happy Halloween, even if I do not have anything new to post at the moment. The weather here simply is not cooperating, and I have been quite busy/tired anyway – and forcing myself to make things never goes well, so I am choosing to just do a text post again… so at the very least you know I am not dead, etc. (For reference, the weather here was 80F four days ago – and is now 50F… with a lot of humidity/rain/wind the past few days; it is super strange, and really bad for my migraines.)

I really don’t even know what is going to happen with all this at this stage, honestly; as noted last post, everything just kind of fell apart this year for various reasons beyond my control. We will have to see what happens… but things this year have obviously not been working out.

I will be back with another update in a week or two if nothing else… but I truly do not even know what my plan is in terms of content for this project until Xmas due to missing this – and even then… I may just decide it is time to fold in at this point. I do not like that idea, but I don’t really see much choice at this stage; I knew going in to this that it would end eventually… nothing lasts forever – but I at least thought I would stop because I got tired of it, not due to a general lack of time/energy.

Also, I will probably just leave the poll up again, since there are so few votes, not quite certain yet.

Hey. Just checking in again to let you all know that I am still here. I have yet to get anything notable done on renders so far this month, as I have been busy and/or hindered by the weather most days. (I have another of my weather migraines today due to the incoming rain tomorrow.) I have always done the Halloween renders each year as far as I remember though, so I really want to do that if at all possible – and I think it is still definitely possible; I just need to get solid free time to do it where I don’t feel like shit for one of several reasons. However – things are allegedly going to be better for the next two weeks, so there may be hope.

And as per usual, more votes in the poll would really be great.

I will be back before the end of the month with a status update if nothing else, but hopefully with some actual renders… I know it has been a while since I posted anything visual, (apologies for that again) but everything about this project seems to have just fallen apart this year for various reasons; there really is just nothing much to be done about most of it – especially about Patreon changing their policies against NSFW creators, and then rejecting/ignoring the opinions of their NSFW creators. (As many have said before would eventually happen, Patreon used NSFW creators to make their platform a success; and now that they think they no longer need those NSFW creators, they are slowly pushing them out entirely – one stupid and ignorant policy change at a time…)

Hi. As you may have guessed if you saw my update on my site from last week, I unfortunately have not been able to work on anything yet. We had a tropical storm go by the northeast US last weekend, and I had really bad headaches for four days because of that alone… and then I got them again on Thursday until today due to the weirdly high humidity in my area. I am really hoping that all this wild weather crap is over now, and that I can make stuff for October – but this whole summer has been an awful mess overall for me. I hope you all have been doing better than I have. Really hoping I can do my usual Halloween stuff at the very least; I have been super busy and burdened with my weather migraines for months now – it has been quite annoying. We will have to see what the next several weeks have in store.

Also, thanks to whoever voted in the poll, but more votes are always appreciated; I plan to leave this poll up for a while again, since votes are low.

Hey again. I just wanted to check in quick and give a minor update. The past few weeks have been more of the same – hot and busy… so no real progress yet. The weather may finally be cooling down here, which is great – though there is a storm with heavy rains going by this weekend, so I am not exactly optimistic about the immediate future… but there may be hope for next week, we will see what happens. Regardless, I just wanted to check in and let you all know I am still around, etc. – some of my favorite artists have at some point gone MIA for a while, with no explanation… and I know that is very frustrating, so I really try not to do that. Thanks for your patience, either way.

Still no votes in the new poll, but I guess that just may be that way at this stage… however, please do vote if you haven’t yet.

Hey. As you can probably guess, I have not had time to really even work on renders this month – let alone finish anything; I have been super busy with real life stuff, and the weather has been mostly crap as well. Last week was one of the busiest weeks I have had in months, somehow – and I am just spent both physically and mentally; when I have trouble typing, and bump into things a lot, I know I am too out of it to do much. Forcing myself to work on anything now would be pointless, so I have little choice but to just wait; apologies to those who actually check this and have been waiting, but these past few months have just been a humid/stormy/busy mess all around – for a lot of people, it seems.

We will see what next month holds, but I will post a new poll in a few days at the minimum. With that in mind, this is the last chance to vote in this poll, so please do that if you haven’t.

Hi again. Apologies about the two week gap in posts – but I have been super busy with real life stuff these past two weeks – this week especially, and the weather has only just started to calm down again. (Today was the nicest day we have had here in months, and allegedly it will be nice for most of next week after Monday.) Obviously, I still have not had any real time to work on renders or anything – but I do have some ideas in mind for a few things… we will have to see how the remaining time in August plays out. I am rather tired at the moment also, but hopefully by Tuesday I will be able to work on some of this stuff again, if all the various contributing factors allow it – we will see what happens.

Again, votes in the poll on the right would really be nice – and I will almost certainly change that out for a new one next month… so do please vote in that if you haven’t yet.

Hey. Again, there isn’t much to say really – which is why there has been a gap in updates again; I keep hoping for the weather to not be crap, and until today, it just has not happened. Unfortunately, I am only just now free of prior/other obligations, and I barely have one day left in the month, which is not enough time to do anything; plus, I am just completely spent as it is from this past week – it was just a mess all around, and my headache is worse just thinking about it.

Adding to that mess last week was Patreon actually coming out of nowhere and flagging my page as adult again for no real reason – due to one year and a half old post and the banner I had been using (Visitor part 3); both of which were there when it was reclassified the first time. There was no direct/explicit nudity in either image, and my requests to the moderator to clarify what the problem actually was, and/or specify the nudity were ignored repeatedly – so I changed the banner to something even more suggestive, in my eyes; with the exact same character, in the exact same outfit – just now with better lighting… and apparently this is fine somehow. (The other post I just had to cut the mega link to a free thing, apparently – which I am not sure is even a thing either; that is not directly specified as a violation of anything that I can find either.) I am so disgusted with Patreon at this stage – both for using and then screwing over 18+ creators when they no longer thought they were needed, and also for their nonsense moderation system… which sadly seems to be a thing in most places now; but when I can honestly say that DA’s moderators were more reasonable/intelligent than Patreon’s, something is just so intensely wrong about that. However, DA did reverse the removal of one of my renders that was flagged as porn for no reason – and Patreon refused to even explain their position with this latest thing, though at the very least they did tell me what post/thing was the problem this time… which they did not do back in December when I had to gut my Patreon page. A minor improvement, but at least it is something, I suppose.

Anyway, I am really, really hoping the weather forecast is accurate this time – the weather has been absolute shit here for over a solid month now, with barely two days of decent weather that I remember. Allegedly, things will be much better for a week or two now, so maybe I can finally get some render work done… but who knows anymore – this past week was the worst I remember in a very long time; 95% humidity, and 110 degrees F in the sun with massive storms every other day.

Once again, the poll could always use more votes – and do remember that you can vote for three characters.

I currently plan to keep this poll up still, and I have no idea when I will be back, or what with – so just stay tuned for something else next month. (If I had been able to stick to my planned schedule, July was an off month anyway – so next month should have some new something… and I am going to really try to get something new done in the near future if at all possible.) For those of you who actually read these updates, and/or checked this far, do look at the old/ex Patreon wallpaper below that I had to remove from my page months ago – so I do at least have something to post here for the moment… even if it is over six years old now. Not sure I will post it anywhere else due to the age, but here that is – at least it is something, I suppose.
