August Patreon mini-set done, preview here.

Hey. I started small and did the mini-set for the month, here is a public preview; the rest of the images stay on Patreon. It is five images of Helenya playing with an elven slave boy and it will get sent out at the start of next month to appropriate processed patrons. If you enjoy my work, please consider supporting me on Patreon to get early access to most of my work and even bonuses like these mini-sets; https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart. Everything put forward helps support me and make my work better! There are also the various special events that I plan to do next month (as long as my health permits). I have already posted to my Patrons about everything that I plan to do next month; so if you are deathly curious there is that too. Some things will be public, some things will be Patron only.

I hope to finish chapter six in the coming days but this is still really rough to work on right now. I have a week left; I should be fine to finish it.

EDIT 8/25: Final renders for RTL 6 are halfway done… I may be able to get more done today, I will see. Having some memory issues with rendering stuff from the second scene… have to cut back a bit to fix it.

EDIT 8/26: Final renders for RTL 6 are at least 2/3 done, probably more but I can’t say until I see the final count. I fixed the memory issues and the rest of the renders should be smooth sailing whenever I can get well enough (in less pain) to finish them.

Situation update, 8/17 -Edited 8/21

2 Replies

Hey. So… fun story. I got to go to the emergency room last night at 1 AM due to crippling and incredibly painful muscle spasms in my leg. Long story short, I have a rather bad case of sciatica; which in short currently prevents me from sitting for more than a minute at a time. I got some painkillers to help in the short term, but they do not fix the problem and I cannot risk this getting worse in any way. Working on anything like this (if I even can) will make it take five times longer then it should and cause me a lot of pain, so there isn’t anything I can really do like this.

I am going to stop giving time updates as for when RTL chapter six will be finished just in case I am jinxing this by doing so and because this shit just keeps happening. Just know that it, the mini-set for the month, and the one scene preview for my patrons will be done by the end of this month somehow. (If there is any way at all that I can do it, I will; I am hoping that this gets at least a bit better in two weeks…) I am doing everything I can to work this out, but it really isn’t up to me that much. The DA images for this month may or may not happen depending on how long this lasts. I may update this post or just make a new one sometime at the end of this week with another update. Sorry for all the non-content updates, but I think it’s best to keep people updated on what is going on rather than me going MIA for over a month without saying anything (like some other people on the internet do) and making you all wonder wtf happened. In the mean time keep voting in the polls and spreading the word about my work, the polls, and the stuff I plan to do next month.

EDIT 8/21: So I went to two different doctors yesterday and got some pretty crazy medicine for this… and as of right now it seems to be helping. If all goes well I should be able to really work on things over the coming weekend and next week for the first time in weeks. I will see how it goes…. hoping for the best.

Status Update: 8/11

Hi. Quick update, the last few days have been really rough; yesterday especially. However I did manage to finish the scene construction on RTL chapter six. Hopefully I can finish the final renders and do the postwork in the next few days. I also do think that this will have to be this month’s main image set; there is just no way I could do another one this month with all the other crap I have to do. (As well as the significant pain that I am still in.) These things happen when horrific real life problems occur, it just can’t be helped. Anyway, keep voting in the polls and check back toward the end of this week when I will post previews for RTL chapter six if all goes semi-well at least.

EDIT 8/14: So things have been fairly bad the last two days, but are going better today. Unfortunately I need basically an entire day to finish the final renders, (not to mention do the postwork, which takes some additional hours) which I still can’t do quite yet. If things continue to improve, I may be able to do it over this coming weekend, we will see. The hard part is done, I just have the time consuming parts left to do which is unfortunately very hard on me right now. In other news, the polls are still going, one is rather definitive so far, but the other is actually very close right now; so make sure to vote in the second poll over there.

As far as the general schedule goes after I finish chapter six, I will then do the Patreon mini-set for the month as well as finish that Patreon scene preview for the game that I am working on. I also hope to do some small images for DA, but I will see how that goes when/if I have time. I also will post more info on what I plan to do next month on Patreon sometime this month as well, I will probably not post anything publicly here until next month. Things have been an absolute nightmare for me this last month or so, but the main problem has cleared up; (I hope) and I am just dealing with some smaller side issues that the main problem caused right now.

RTL chapter three, “Uninvited Guests” free release!

Hey again. Quick note first; unless something horrible happens in the next few days I should be done with the next RTL chapter (six) early next week. Here is the free release of RTL chapter three. The set features a wide variety of content, as shown by the huge tag list. The set mainly featured futa and lesbian content as that was voted at the time in a special poll. It has two main scenes, one with Zayla and another with Salune; both “playing” with an unfortunate innkeeper. I have reposted the six original preview images below for convenience.

If you like my image sets and want to support me in making future ones, check out my Patreon page to support my work and get early access to new sets and other various goodies! (https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart) I would really like to afford better hardware to make these renders with; I could make better, more complex renders with better equipment to work with.

In other news, the polls are going to be up until September, and are going well so far though one poll has double the votes of the other for some reason again. Anyway, more votes would be appreciated; I don’t know what people want unless you tell me somehow. In any case, here is the download link for RTL chapter three:

July polls review, new polls are up!

Hey. I put up two new polls, both relating to story this time. One asks how much sex and story you prefer in your adult comics, and the other asks how long you would prefer my story arcs be. For some context; the current story arc, Road to Lithorca, was planned to be around ten sets or so. It was also planned to be half story, half sex but it tipped into mostly sex with a bit of story after the first two chapters. (I thought that more exposition just wasn’t necessary after that.) So for the poll, think about how many non-sex pages (dialogue, story) you would want in a set and also how many sets total per arc.

As for the old polls; people seem to prefer huge adult VNs/games but there were also a good number of votes for average length and even small. Good to know, but huge games are just out of my league for now, small and normal are more reasonable/likely. in the other poll, people seemed to prefer Zayla’s bio which I figured would happen. Second place went to Karen, Third place was Lucia, and Fourth place was Helenya, and Fifth place was a tie between Salune and James. I am not at all surprised that Xan got no votes as his bio is small and vague for story reasons, plus he hasn’t really appeared in a major scene yet; I just put him in for completeness. I was fairly surprised that James got a vote; I figured that nobody would ever vote for one of the guys no matter how good the bio was, but it was nice to see that someone liked it. Considering that almost everyone else got a vote, it was surprising that Tabitha didn’t get any this time; but considering the other options it makes sense. Karen getting second place was also somewhat surprising for me; I had guessed Lucia or Helenya. I don’t have whys for any of these votes, so any attempts to explain who placed where would just be speculation. (If anyone wants to explain the reason for their vote in a comment, that would be great.) Regardless, it is really nice to know that the bios are read and appreciated.

Anyway, please vote in the new polls and I hope to post again in a few days with the free release of RTL chapter three; for now, I have a lot to work on.

EDIT 8/4: I had a good day today for the first time in quite a while; I managed to get the first half of the scene construction done. So things are looking better so far.

Status Report, 8/1

Hi again. I am doing somewhat better, but still unable to sit/focus for long enough to make major progress on this next chapter. (I am making minor progress.) I hope to get it done in the next week or two, but that just depends on how long this lasts. Whenever I do get it done, I will send it out to the appropriate, processed Patreon patrons then instead of waiting until the end/start of the month. (Only because of this whole weird situation; this will not be a normal thing.) There is also the free release of RTL chapter three next week, so check back for that.

On the somewhat positive side, all this time stuck doing nothing has given me plenty of time to think over general plans for this project, (I have the next few sets planned out in fair detail already…) as well as a great many things that I plan to do next month. (September, not August.) As for why I plan to do things next month; technically speaking it will have been a year since I started working on this project then, so I was thinking that some sort of celebratory thing will be in order. I have a few things planned, some small and some large; one of which will involve the Patreon only set for that month (I consider this a large thing), the rest I won’t spoil now. I will likely share most of my plans with my patrons sometime this month in a small post on Patreon. So if you want to get in on everything and help support my work, check out my Patreon page: (https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart). Some things will be public though, so don’t worry.

Also, I will likely update the polls sometime in the next few days after all, so please vote now if you still haven’t for some reason.

RTL chapter six postponed until next month, public preview here.

Hey again. I have had a shitty last three weeks; and have been in horrible pain for much of it. I was unable to leave my house for weeks and only now am I mostly better, but not still entirely. I tried to suck it up and get this done if possible, but that did not work at all and this is simply not going to happen right now. I have gotten about two nights sleep in the past three weeks, and I am still not totally better yet. These two things prevent me from focusing in any way when working on the scene. Despite my best efforts, I simply can’t finish this chapter this month, and there is no way to be sure when I will be able to finish it next month. I would like to finish it as soon as possible but if I force myself to do it now I might make my situation worse and the overall product would likely be crappy. These are both very bad things. I want this to be as good as I can make it with what I have, and to do that I need more time. This may all change at any time if I suddenly start sleeping again and get better faster or if things get worse somehow (again). Long story short; I have no idea when RTL chapter six will be done, (it isn’t really up to me) it may end up being next month’s main image set due to my illness/unforeseen circumstances.

Anyway, I will do the best that I can in terms of getting this done as early as possible; but in the mean time please continue to vote in the polls, they help me a lot and votes are still kind of low, I will likely replace the current polls either mid-month or whenever RTL chapter six is done if it is before that. Oh and here is the early public preview of the first scene for this upcoming set. It was going well before everything went to shit, and hopefully it will turn out great.

July special poll result, status update

Hi. So the special poll is over and option two won out; that option being Tabitha and Salune. I will work on that next, and the other two options will be used after this one. It is nice to see the the other options got votes as well, so watch for those a bit later. Also, two new polls are up now, One asks how long you prefer your adult VNs/games to be, and the other asks which of my character bios you like best. Please note this is NOT asking which character you like best visually/physically, but from a story/background/details standpoint.

In other news I have been rather sick the past few days and have gotten nothing much done at all, especially on this project. I have no idea how long this will continue, and it may force me to push back the next main image set a bit; we shall see. I will do the best that I can but things have not been going well these last few days and due to this, I am behind already as far as my usual schedule goes. Hopefully thing will get better soon, but there is nothing I can do about this right now. Please vote in these new polls as well and I will post again once I have some progress made somewhere. (Or if it has been a week or so just to check in.)

EDIT 7/20: I finished the DA image(s) a few hours ago and finally posted them. So now I can work on the main image set if my health cooperates.

UPDATE 7/24: I have just posted the early Patreon preview image for this upcoming chapter, it will be posted here in a few days in a new post. The next chapter will almost certainly be pushed back into next month due to lost time from my illness. More on that when I post the preview publicly. Also, the current polls have been extended into mid next month; as this chapter likely won’t be done until sometime into next month and I would like as many votes in these polls as possible. (The bio one especially, please vote if you haven’t; votes are still rather low for whatever reason.)

July Patreon mini-set preview!

Hey again. The patreon mini-set for this month is done, it is a solo/masturbation set as voted by my patrons this month! It is six images and features Tabitha playing with a long, blue toy. One preview is below, it and the other five images will be sent to applicable patrons at the start of each month after payment clears. If you like my work, please consider supporting me on Patreon; you can get access to all sorts of goodies such as these polls and the mini-sets I make each month. https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

I am now moving on to trying to make a few images for DA, and then move on to the main image set once this poll is done! So keep voting, it looks like each options has at least a few votes; which is really nice since each option will happen in time.

EDIT 7/14: I once again have various real life issues to deal with and haven’t been able to finish the DA stuff yet; so hopefully in the next few days.

7/8: Status update, hentai foundry issues.

Hey. I have had some real life things to work out the last few days but these things should be over sometime tomorrow. Once this is done I will make the next Patreon mini-set as well as hopefully a few new DA images. The special poll is going great so far, but more votes is always good. There is still time for everything to change, so spread the word and vote if you haven’t already!

Side note: since my deviantart account has brought in a lot of views and attention, I am trying to get my hentai foundry account working again, but am having no end of issues. I tried to make a HF account seven months ago to help promote my work; but at the time nothing I submitted was accepted, so I just deleted the account thinking I could remake it if things ever changed. (You can view everything on HF without an account, so there was no real reason to keep it.) Back then I could only trace them rejecting my stuff to an issue they seemed to have with 3d art at the time and some strange clauses in their acceptance guidelines specifically rejecting 3d art submissions that used premade content for no real reason. Since then, I have talked to a couple people who assure me that HF would work for me now and I can no longer find that clause in the guidelines; so I would like to try and use hentai foundry again but apparently I can’t.

For some reason, “deleting” your account there doesn’t actually delete anything; apparently it just locks the account and name forever. If I had know that, I never would have deleted it in the first place; I would have just sat on it and left it inactive. As far as I recall, I have never seen a site do this before; especially without any sort of account recovery system to undo it. HF allegedly has recovery systems but none of them seem to work in this instance. I have sent multiple emails to the “support” email address they have listed, since there isn’t much else I can do right now without an account; but it has been over a month and I have received no response of any kind. If anybody knows somebody who is an admin or something over on HF, can you please ask them to contact me, or ask what I can do to get my account back, or just tell them to check the support email? I realize that it is entirely possible that they got my email(s) and just don’t give a shit, but I am hoping that is not the case.
