March mini-set finished!

Hi, sorry for the semi-late update, but this last week was really busy and I had no time for all this until the last few days. The main set still needs some work but I did get the mini-set done yesterday, a preview image is below. The set revolves around Lucia “playing” with a random traveler who passes by. The mini-set is fairly oral focused, with most of the content images being of Lucia sucking his cock (with close ups); but there is a special image at the end which is different, although the tags sort of give it away. The mini-set is currently six images, and will be set out at the start of next month to applicable patrons on my Patreon (along with all the other mini-sets, this is the 19th one; and a few are full size story sets!). Also do keep in mind that there will be TWO Patreon polls next month, one for all patrons (about the next main set) and one for the $15+ patrons (about that month’s mini-set.

In other news, I came across some information regarding one setting in Octane that I never touched until now; long story short, there is a small chance that I have had this setting wrong this entire time. (But it’s fixed now.) I have yet to totally confirm that this does what I have read that it is supposed to do, but it does seem to so far; the main set will really be the gauge though. More votes in the polls here are appreciated as well; they are going well but more votes is almost always a good thing.

EDIT 3/25: I am mostly done with renders for RTL 9, but I still have all the composition/editing to do and I really want to go back and add one small scene; but I will likely wait and go back for that after finishing the core set as this has already taken longer than I wanted. (Though I think it came out really good and is well worth it.) I am going to try really hard to get previews posted this weekend, tomorrow at the earliest I would think.

RTL 9 public early preview!

Hey again. Below is the public early preview of the first set created on/using my new render machine; RTL chapter nine. The sex part of the set features Arane and the pale elf getting fucked hard by three drunk and horny orcs. As you can see I now have the ability to use many more and higher quality figures in a scene, and this will be an early test run of that. Also as hinted at earlier, I think everyone should enjoy this set for obvious reasons. (Gangbang/Orgy stuff ranked very high on an old big poll in terms of what people want to see most.) I think everything is going really well so far but I am taking a lot of time to make sure that EVERYTHING works right before I get through most of the work this time. I will likely get the month’s mini-set done at some point next week as working on one set for so long is very draining and/or I will likely hit a wall with RTL 9 and need to work on something else while I figure out whatever I was stuck on. I plan to get this done within the next two weeks; but as you likely know, I have a bad habit of doing too much/adding stuff/fixing things so it might go past that.

Comments and/or feedback is/are welcome, as are more votes in the polls. Also if you want to get access to this set when it’s done and/or maybe get even more content from me, check out my Patreon page and help support my work! Everything put forward helps. https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

RTL 9 Patreon preview up; coming here late this week.

Hi. As the title says, I just posted the RTL 9 early patreon preview for my patrons and it will get posted publicly at the end of this week. So far things are looking really nice and I am really seeing differences in what I can do with this new machine by making a whole scene on it and using more figures in a scene. This set should be quite nice, as it features some things I have really wanted to do but was unable to do until I got this new machine; but I will know for sure how everything worked out when it’s done. For the seven of you who actually read into these paragraphs, I posted something publicly on my Patreon page recently; you should check it out if you haven’t already. Anyway, the polls are going decently, but more votes is always good. Remember, I am using this as a gauge of interest; so more votes shows me that people are more interested in whatever the vote is about and/or the specific options voted for. This will almost certainly lead to a higher quality item being made and/or more consideration given to advisory polls. So check back later this week for the public preview of RTL 9, (or become my patron and see it now!) and spread the word about the polls and vote in them if you haven’t already!

New polls posted, last poll results, plans for this month.

Hi again. I meant to post something in the past few days but I have been very busy with assorted things. I had been working on the contest renders last week, and am currently waiting for assorted feedback from the entrants before finishing their renders. So those aren’t done yet but may get posted sometime this month if everything else works out perfectly; which it almost certainly won’t, so likely sometime next month. There are two new polls up; the first one asks how you feel about “bad ends” in adult games. (I have pros and cons for them, but I will see what you all think.) The other one asks what you all would like to see most in an animation. You can pick two options, as many are not mutually exclusive. This would likely have been a special poll if I could be sure that whatever it is would work, but animations are much more complex than single image renders and I can’t be sure that whatever it is will come out well; but I will try my best whenever I next do an animation. I think these polls will get more votes than last month’s, but that is up to all of you.

As for last month’s polls, votes were rather low; but the votes two months ago were even lower, so things like this happen I suppose. The first poll asked about established characters changing outfits; most people seem to think that a change now and then is good, which is nice to know as I planned to have some changes here and there. The other poll asked what I should do after RTL is done; this poll was less definitive. Technically the option to make some other image sets won, but it was only by one vote. Work on a game came second, with some complex animation coming third. I will take this into consideration once RTL is done, and I was kind of planning to do at least a couple random image sets anyway; but I just have to see what else is going on whenever RTL gets finished.

As for plans this month, I have posted my general plan for this coming chapter of RTL on Patreon and hope to have a preview for them ready sometime next week. Just based on some old polls and other things, I think everyone should really like this coming chapter. Also be aware that there will be TWO Patreon polls next month; one for all patrons regarding the main story and another for the $15+ tiers regarding next month’s mini-set.

RTL chapter six – “Lust and Greed” free release!

Hi again, it’s finally the time that most of you have likely been waiting for; the free release of RTL chapter six! As depicted in the previews, the set features Tabitha, Salune, and some tentacles. The original previews are below for convenience, as well as the download link. (The password is still redleatherart) Remember to check out my Patreon page and consider supporting me if you like my work and/or want access to it early (among other things)! https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Also, new stuff is up on my DA page; three images of which are totally new and quite nice.

February mini-set ready!

Hey. This month’s Patreon mini-set is done and it features Karen and one of her higher paying female clients (and friend), so expect some fun and playful lesbian stuff. (Karen hasn’t gotten any screen time in RTL so I figured she needed another mini-set at least; I think Lucia has had two since RTL started as well.) This preview also showcases some fancier items from my library as well as a working mirror, which I had been prohibited from using before this new machine due to the horrible render slowdowns it caused. A preview image is below, and it and the other five images (so six total right now; but again that may go up) will be sent out to my $15+ patreon patrons after payments clear next month. Side note, I hope to get the DA content done around the end of the week; a bit later than I had hoped but whatever. That other thing I mentioned at the beginning of the month will likely happen later this week too; just a heads up for those of you that read this far into the paragraphs here. As usual, if you like this preview image and want to get access to these Patreon mini-sets, and/or early access to my regular main story sets, maybe even other assorted bonuses, or perhaps you just want to support my work and help me make more and/or better content, check out my Patreon page! Anything and/or everything donated really helps! My Patreon page has just been updated to the new version as well!

New Salune walking animation!

Hi again. The basic walking animation for the month is done, a preview gif is below as before. This animation features Salune walking in a short looping gif. Though not as involved as the previous animation due to there being less items to animate, I think this one turned out better overall due to me having more of an idea of what to do this time around. (I think both the video file and the gif are smoother this time around; there is a slight stutter at the end of the video file again but I think it is from the quick repeat looping when playing it as the stutter disappears in the gif made from that file.)

Unfortunately, the gif maker tool that I use has been neutered somewhat since the last time I used it and I can’t easily make HQ gifs with it currently. I either need something to crop the video file that I use to make the gif or find a new tool to make the gifs with; unfortunately cropping videos in Videostudio X7 is a complete mess that I have yet to fully understand and I know of no other easy to use video to gif converters at this time. I hope to get that figured out by the end of the month to get a HQ gif made for my $15+ patrons, but even if I can’t the original HQ video file included anyway so it shouldn’t make too big a difference. Anyway, here it is; comments and/or feedback welcome.

Patreon rewards sent, RTL 8 previews updated.

Hey. As the title says, rewards for my paying patrons for last month have been sent out. On that topic, I did update the preview images in the earlier post for RTL 8 but waited to mention in it hopes that I would have the first animation done by now. (No huge differences, but still worth mentioning I thought.) However, due mostly to assorted real life stuff that needed done the past few days it is not done yet; so I will just mention the details of the final/updated RTL 8 and some other little things. I did not give a final count in the original post, as I thought that I was going to try and fix it still. (I have since updated that post to include the final total as well.) Little did I know how much I was going to end up fixing; but that just means more images again. The final set is 42 images, each with a clean and story version as usual.

In other news, I did fiddle around with some of the higher end content that I have for poser on my new machine and so far, things look pretty good. I have re-planned the next story set to attempt to include some higher quality content that my old machine could not handle; we will see how that works out next month. In any case, more votes in the polls would be appreciated and I hope to have this animation done by the end of this week.

February plans, old poll results, new polls up!

Hey again. So the old polls are done and two new polls are up now! One polls asks how you feel about established characters changing outfits. The second poll asks if I should take a break from main story arcs after RTL is done (likely in about 3-5 more sets) and make some random other image and/or story sets instead, work on a game, attempt some complex animation, or if I should just start the next story arc. My patrons have seen the special patreon early previews from a while back for two of the upcoming characters in the next story arc, (there will be others though) so they may have some better insight here but it is hard to say. Also, for those of you that actually read this far into the paragraphs here, RTL 6 is also scheduled for a free release this month sometime; I am not going to say when exactly so just keep checking back for that. There will likely be another Patreon-exclusive poll in the coming months, possibly relating to what to do when RTL is done. I have no idea when exactly this will be yet. As for the results from the last polls, people clearly want me to do the two month plan; and most people seem to prefer story sets and animations, which is fine. Games were only two votes behind animations though, and likely in April I will try to get on that in some way. I have too much to try and finish this month to do a game right now. However, as noted last month, I have been looking into this and working on ironing out problems that I had way back whenever.

Speaking of that, my plans for this month are as follows:

Patreon mini-set
At least one animation
New DA stuff
Redo/fix my Patreon page
Winning contest entries’ images

Unless there is some other insane weather catastrophe or some other horrific incident that stalls my work somehow (again), I think I should be able to get most of this done this month, if not all of it. The first two items are the basic stuff that I need to do this month and the most important items. I think it has been a few months since I have posted new stuff on DA so I really need to do that after I take care of this month’s base content. The second item says “at least one” animation because I plan to make another simple walking animation, but possibly another, more complex one if the first doesn’t take too long and/or if I finish the contest winner images early. The reason that item number four is up there is that for whatever reason, Patreon is now changing the layout of creator pages; which means that I need to redo some stuff and make a new header image for my Patreon page. Allegedly this new layout goes live at the start of March whether you are ready for it (or even want it) or not, so I should probably just set it all up now and let it activate early. After that is the contest entry images, which will vary in difficulty. The main issue for the month is that I am not sure how long the 10-ish image set for the top contest entry will take, and that will likely be the sticking point here.

The few images for second place and one for third should be rather straightforward, but the first place entry is a bit more involved and should have water in it; which I have been relatively unsuccessful at rendering properly in Octane so far. (Theoretically I know what to set it to, but when I do that it doesn’t look right and either looks really fake or like an oil puddle; hopefully I just have to fiddle around with it some more to get it looking right.) The plan for these is to post all the contest entry images together as one post, so even if the first place entry goes into early next month I will wait to post the others until it is done. I also plan to ask the people who made the entries for basic feedback regarding the images I make before I post them, but I am not going to wait for a response if they do not get back to me in a week or so. (I also make no promises to act upon said feedback, but I likely will if it is reasonable and/or simple to fix.) These contest-related images will all be free for everyone, so that should be nice. In the mean time, check out the new polls and check back for some new content soon-ish.

January Patreon mini-set finished!

Hi again. Here is the public preview for this month’s Patreon mini-set for the applicable tiers. The mini-set is currently six images and it is a bit different than usual as it features these two random hot elven girls getting fucked by a bunch of magical tentacles (although I may add an image or two to that total like last month, no guarantees though). In other news, I sort of figured out at least one part of the lighting problem with RTL 8, but after “fixing” the issue I found, I realized that the way it was is much better in a lot of ways; so I feel much better about how RTL 8 turned out now despite still being very confused. It seems like there is/was just some issue with the scene I used for it that I cannot discern. Anyway, I will post again in a few days with the old poll results discussion, new polls, and my plans for next month. In the mean time, if you like this preview image and want to get access to these Patreon mini-sets, and/or early access to my regular main story sets, maybe even other assorted bonuses, or perhaps you just want to support my work and help me make more and/or better content, check out my Patreon page!
