Status update: 5/11

Hey. I am still working on the newest mini-set, and the weird weather over the past few days left me mostly unable to work on this from all the migraines. I am hoping to have it done a week from now… but we will just have to see what happens – I will do the best I can; but circumstances right now are a bit of a mess. So far, so good though… for whatever that means; people on DA seem to really like the new foxgirl character – and I do plan to have her be a recurring side character at the minimum, like Delfina from the mini-set two months back.

Anyway though – the Patreon May special poll is over, and it is likely no surprise that Zayla won again… and I am looking forward to making that once I get a good idea for it, and have to render time to spare. That will get posted to all my Patrons, and stay on my Patreon page exclusively… so if you want to see that, and all the other exclusive stuff I have under the “special” category over there, check out my Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Maybe new May polls.

Hey. It’s a new month, and therefore I have new polls as well as the results from the previous polls. There were are least some votes in the polls this time around; which is nice compared to the previous month… but still not that many for whatever reason. Thanks to those who voted… and at the very least I can tell those who voted were the ones who care enough about my work to do so. (Even if the total votes don’t actually match up with the number of voters… some people apparently didn’t pick three answers as it said to.) Also, I want to mention that I posted the May Patreon special poll last night – which will run through the 10th; which will decide the subject of a new patron-exclusive special image that I will make later this month for all my tiered patrons. So do check that out, if it applies to you; and if not, maybe consider supporting me and changing that! πŸ˜€

The first poll last month asked what your favorite types of adult content were… oddly enough the winning response was image sets; which is somewhat surprising. Games and movies tied for second place, and short animations, story sets, and individual images tied for third. The second poll from April asked what you though were the most important aspects of a female character – and no real surprise that body shape came in a clear first place. Sexual preferences/ability came in second, and race/skin tone as well as clothing preferences came tied for third place. Some interesting things to consider from all that… and I will keep that in mind when making future content.

As for the new polls, there are two again… the first asks if you prefer recurring (main) characters or mostly one-off (side) characters in adult content; and the second asks what your favorite finish is to an adult scene – with assorted choices. Do let me know your preferences there… and I will be back with at least a status update in a week or so at the outside. Also keep in mind that I am still looking for feedback regarding my work – so leave comments on the respective DA/slushe journal entries, or even comment on here with what ideas/fetishes/characters you are looking forward to seeing from me! πŸ™‚ Stay safe everyone!

New April mini-set preview is up!!!

Hi again. As you can tell by this post, I am still a bit behind due to many recent factors – but I did manage to get the preview for the new mini-set done in time again, and it is below! This new mini-set is another girl x girl themed one… and I know I just did one of those before the previous one; but looking back at the sets before that one – there was a large gap since the lesbian themed mini-set that preceded it. So hopefully this set will help balance things out a bit… and it features Lucia making friends with a cute foxgirl! (Another first attempt at a new type of female character – two months in a row, but it is just how things turned out; I have a feeling that people will like her.) πŸ˜€

As for the setup – the story has Lucia wandering around the forest, looking for food and/or treasure, when she came across an ancient shrine – with a pretty girl standing in it! Lucia had never seen a foxgirl before, so she ran up to try and say hello… and ask if she had seen anything nearby. The foxgirl did not trust Lucia at first – even though she thought Lucia was very attractive; but fortunately, the catgirl knew a thing or two about beastgirls and the things they liked… so she did her best to cuddle up to the sexy fox – who was very open to the idea. πŸ™‚ Unlike catgirls, foxgirls had magic – and this foxgirl was very lonely, and was getting bored of her magic toys; the purple fox had a lot of pent up needs that required another person… and she knew Lucia could help her fulfill. S0 – she promised Lucia that she would use her magic to help her find a nearby treasure… but it wasn’t exactly what she originally had in mind! πŸ˜€

I really like how the foxgirl came out and how this is going so far; obviously, I have most of it left to do – so a lot is still up in the air, but you can see the tags on this post for an idea of what I plan to include. Whatever it ends up being, it will go out to appropriate patrons of mine with main rewards next month! [EDIT: Second preview added!]

In regards to to other stuff – I have decided to wait a bit to retry my patreon special offer thing; I will see how things are around the end of May before deciding whether or not to start it in June… or wait even longer. It just does not seem like now is a good time for that… so many people are not doing well as it is with the whole virus mess – so I doubt many people will be interested at the moment. I am going to do another Patreon vote and subsequent special image next month though – so there is that to look forward to! (The vote will determine the subject, as before – the resulting render will be for my patrons only, but all tiers will get it.) I will be back in a couple days with the new polls; but more votes are always appreciated – there are at least a few votes this time around, which is helpful. There are also two feedback/suggestion things up on my DA/slushe pages respectively – asking if there are any ideas/fetishes/characters that you all would like to see from me. Feel free to comment on here and answer that was well – but I just wonder what you all are looking forward to. πŸ™‚

And once again, as I always end these – if anyone out there would like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; (like the new slave training game I have posted previews over the past few months) 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 can spare.) But anyways, check out my Patreon page!: https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Previous mini-set renders finally done, new mini-set preview soon.

Hi again. Sorry this is a bit later than I wanted – but I managed to put a lot into the bunnygirl mini-set… 46 images in total! I even got to put in the one final bit that I usually have to leave out due to lack of time or energy. I think it all came out really nice, and I just sent that out to appropriate patrons of mine, along with the other current rewards. I will now move on the the new mini-set… and that will get done and posted in the next week or so sometime! I did go ahead and post the second preview for the previous month’s mini-set publicly – which in this case refers to the Faye/Delfina mini-set… so you can check out that second preview either in that original post for it below or over on the newly updated master catalog up top. πŸ˜€ (It’s really nice.)

In other news, things are going well so far with Poser Pro 11 (I finally upgraded earlier this month… I think I forgot to mention that here) – it is way faster to search with at the bare minimum, which helps a lot; we will have to see how the other improvements pan out as it goes. (The Poser software got a new/good owner last year… a rather stark contrast to what happened to DAZ several years ago – and that continuing downward spiral.)Β  I did also post the newly retired mini-set (the solo Tabitha bath one) onto my gumroad page, and I have the next one ready to go, as that will be retired in a little over week. There have been some votes in the polls – but more would really be nice; these in particular I would like responses to. I am also still leaning towards going ahead with that special offer soon-ish… but I will give that some more thought before the end of this month, and we will see what happens. I am also considering another small bonus thing for my patrons in the near future – so there is a lot of stuff in the possible column there. πŸ™‚

Anyways, check back in a couple days for the new mini-set preview, and do check out my Patreon page if you like my work and want to consider supporting me! https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Happy Easter, new DA/slushe stuff posted!

Hey again. I went ahead and finished/posted the new DA/slushe stuff – one of the two new images is the new one I made for Easter. (Which is why I chose to finish these now instead of later this month – and it is technically on time…) The other new side image is social distancing themed, and you can go check that out if you are interested.

For the random drawing I tried to do, none of the three winners replied within the three days – so I guess that just is not happening. I gave it more than a fair shot – three draws, multiple advance warnings, and plenty of time… not entirely sure what went wrong. Again, I am going to just hope/assume that the lack of responses is due to the coronavirus somehow… but it is still quite depressing. Due to this, I am putting off all other things like that until much later… when things will hopefully be better. (I tried.)

Regarding main rewards, that will likely be in another week or so; I wish I could say later this week, but I really doubt that will happen. I am still a bit behind and rather drained at the moment… but I will do the best I can. Things are just a bit messy right now due to the lockdown here and assorted issues I am having all around. I plan to take a day to recover a bit before going back to finish the mini-set renders. I will send out early rewards to any new patrons though… if that happens in the mean time.

Otherwise, I still am still planning to bring back my special offer from last year at some point soon – not sure when yet. Check back later and I may have more information on that… but it may even be next month, again – not exactly sure. I should be back again in a week or so with something either way.

April polls.

Hey. I am back with some new polls – which are repeats of old polls that I am revisiting… at least partly because nobody really voted in the last set of polls. One of the last two polls had no votes at all – which is quite disappointing… and the other poll let me know that at least the few people that voted seem to like the extra details and such in renders; which I usually try to put in. As for the new polls – one asks what your favorite types of adult content are, and the other asks what the most important aspects of a female character are – with both polls you can pick three different options. It would be nice to get some significant number of votes in these polls… I already wonder if people like most of what I make/post as it is – this is certainly not helping.

Also, I did have to go ahead and do a second roll for the raffle I was trying out – we will see if this person responds within the remaining time that they have to do so… not really sure what I will do if this does not work a second time; I really never thought this would be a problem… and it makes me totally rethink any/all raffles that I was considering – as does the lack of votes in the polls. We will see what happens, and I should be back with some kind of update next week. I hope everyone stays safe during this whole coronavirus mess.

New March mini-set preview is here!

Hey again everyone. I did manage to get the preview for the mini-set done in time somehow, and it is below. This mini-set features my first serious attempt at making a (real) Bunnygirl – and I think she came out nicely. πŸ˜€ [EDIT: Second preview added!] The setup/story for this one is simply that one day a farmer noticed that many of his carrots had gone missing; and decided to find the culprit to protect his crops. After a couple weeks, he caught the thief red-handed… and was shocked to find a genuine Bunnygirl – and a sexy pink-haired one at that! The bunny explained that she was just hungry… and the farmer felt kind of bad for her, and came up with a compromise of sorts. He would let her have the carrots she had taken, as well as the bunch she was in the process of taking – but she was going to have to pay for them; and since she had no money, the only option was to pay with her body! Assorted fun ensues… not entirely certain yet if it will contain M/F or possibly M/M/F, either instead or as well. I am also trying other new things in here besides the bunnygirl – I have a few new piercings and a little bit of pubic hair to test out; we will see how that goes when this is all done. Whatever it ends up including, it will go out to appropriate patrons of mine starting with main rewards next month, likely in two weeks or so.

Due to prior delays from all sorts of stuff this month (not least of which is this whole coronavirus thing), I have barely started this mini-set as of writing this – so it is kind of hard to say at this point what will be in it when it is done. I will update the tags on this post with whatever the mini-set ends up including theme/content/fetish wise… the current tags are just a rough plan. (I may even update the preview itself if need be.) I have also had pretty bad migraines for several weeks now – which is still being exacerbated by the current lack of excedrin migraine; which was already an issue before people started buying everything up due to the whole virus panic… which does not help. I am doing the best I can – we will just have to see what happens next.

In other news, I did do the raffle drawing on my Patreon page – and attempted to contact the initial winner of that; I have yet to hear back as of right now, but it has only been one day so far… we will see what happens. I did leave a plan in place to draw again if need be… even though I never actually thought that I would need to use it. Also, I am considering doing another special offer on my Patreon page… mostly due to the whole coronavirus thing; I want to do something special, and that is just what comes to mind… we will see if that pans out in the near future. The votes in the current polls are quite low… but I will check that again in a couple days – more votes would be appreciated though.

As I always end these with – if anyone out there would like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; (like the new slave training game I have posted previews over the past few months) 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 can spare.) But anyways, check out my Patreon page!: https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Status update: 3/26 – Mini-set renders done, minor eye issues.

Hey again. Long story short – I finally finished the mini-set renders and sent out main rewards on my Patreon page… but my eyes are having some kind of minor photo-sensitivity at the moment, making it hard to do much on the computer. (Things seem a bit blurry/brighter than normal right now, it’s been going on for two days now… not sure why.) I will see about getting that looked at tomorrow if it persists, but we will just have to see what happens. I am going to try and get the new mini-set preview done before the end of the month, (patrons have a clue what is planned) but it might actually go past that for once if my eye thing gets worse or if something else happens. (The whole world is screwy right now due to the whole coronavirus thing.)

I would also really appreciate more votes in the polls on here… as there are very few votes right now; you may also want to check out the raffle I am hosting on my Patreon page which ends in a few days… otherwise, I should be back next week sometime with the new mini-set preview!

Status update: 3/19 – Slow going.

Hi again. I wanted to stop by with a small update at least – since things are progressing rather slowly at the moment. (Freaky coincidence – I apparently named another status update with “slow going” five years ago, tomorrow… weird.) Anyway, I am still working on the mini-set renders; all sorts of things have been keeping me from doing too much work on that each day – primarily the migraines I get. (I’ve been incapacitated most for of today – looking at screens just makes it worse.) It is what it is though, not much else I can do… and I will get it done soon enough – the whole world is a bit of a mess right now; so at least I am far from alone. I hope all of you are doing well despite the worldwide pandemic thing… and/or that you will continue to be fine/better. πŸ™‚

So I will be back as soon as I can with that – and then the new mini-set preview late this month for sure… (which I do already have special plans for) I am not even sure what else I will have time for at this rate. The polls could really use some more votes as well… and I also posted a feedback request journal on my DA page, if anyone is interested. (The raffle commission will likely be done early next month unless the winner responds within a few hours.) On that note, another reminder that I am having that commission raffle for a standard commission at the end of this month (on the 30th) for all tiered patrons, so check it out! https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Status update: 3/13 – Extra January mini-set preview posted!

Hey again, just a quick update here. First of all, I want to point out that it is apparently it is actually Friday the 13th – which is kind of ironic given the “national emergency” that we in the United States are only just now in as of today. (Were I more into horror things, I would likely have made something for this… but horror is not usually my thing so much – so I will just point it out.)

Anyway, I went ahead and posted the second preview for the January mini-set (the Salune/Tentacles one) back in that post, as well as in the mini-set master catalog; so definitely check that out. (I also posted it on slushe/twitter.) I am still working on the current mini-set renders, but I have been having fairly bad migraines each day from the weather shifting up and down 20-ish degrees every few days. The is compounded by the fact that for whatever reason there is no excedrin migraine I can buy to help deal with it… so I am doing the best I can. (There was some kind of voluntary recall by the manufacturer… not sure of the details – but none has been available as far as I know for months now.)

So I should be back sometime next week when that gets done… and once again, a reminder that I am having that commission raffle for a standard commission at the end of this month (30th) for all tiered patrons, so check it out! https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart
