RTL chapter four: “Caught by a Succubus” Free Release!

Hey. As promised, here is the free release of RTL 4. I have re-posted the original preview images below for convenience. As for me, I am actually doing much better after getting a procedure done a few days ago; the question is whether or not it will stay good long enough for it to heal, which only time will tell. I may be able to do a main image set this month after all if I am still good, we shall see. I still have a bunch of stuff to post on patreon before I look into the main set. I have posted the patreon polls to the appropriate tiers; though as usual everywhere with polls votes are slim to none. No idea why people don’t like polls… oh well. Both those polls and the poll here one the site have a few days left to go on them, so vote now, before time runs out!

If you like my work and want to help it improve, please consider supporting my work and get access to all sorts of different goodies! https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart Any and all support is appreciated and helps me afford new hardware/software to make my art better and faster! As it stands, I can only do two detailed figures in a scene with Octane; hence the limits on my renders/the contest.

Oh snap! There’s a contest!

Hi again. So the main big thing this month is that I’m going to hold a contest, the details of which are up on that page up there that says CONTEST!. Instead of repeating everything over there on here for no reason, I will summarize; you guys can submit a short story and if it is the best entry, I will make a ten image set about it! Isn’t that cool? You all should check it out, especially other artists/writers which I am going to try and notify via email as well in case they don’t check my site regularly. The contest will be up for a month starting today and is the perfect chance for all of you to get me to make whatever you want within reason. You want elf on elf lesbian action? You want futa on futa fun? How about pregnancy related stuff? Want me to try and make a sci-fi scene? Or do you just want more tentacles? Whatever the case, if you want it bad enough you’ll read the rules and enter the contest, and if you do a good enough job then maybe you can get whatever you want! Spread the word about the poll, the contest, my site, everything.

One things to keep in mind regarding the contest; I will do my best to be fair and unbiased towards different entries, but I have my weaknesses. These things include but are not limited to; elves, dark skin, big tits (within reason; ridiculously huge tits are just silly/tasteless), succubi, catgirls, creampies, and other things you tend to see a lot of in my work. So you may want to take those things into account when writing your entry.

I am still in considerable pain and have no idea if I will be able to do a main image set this month; much of it depends on how my injection goes tomorrow, which with luck will greatly help with the pain. I am also trying to figure out wtf to do regarding much of the Patreon crap I wanted to do, as a few patrons dropped and that leaves patron only votes rather pointless as there are only a few to vote; even if the patrons that are still processing clear. There are also a bunch of new things I wanted to try out and test on patrons which is rather difficult when there are so few… I will see what happens. Also RTL 4 gets a free release sometime this week; exactly when is a surprise.

RTL chapter six – “Lust and Greed” finally COMPLETE!

Hi. I know what we’re all thinking; that I wasn’t gonna make it today again. Funny story though, I actually managed to. A LOT of pain went into making every part of this set but I think it’s good considering that I probably shouldn’t have been able to make it at all during this time. I had to make some cuts in the second scene due to my hardware limitations, but I think it still turned out good. I really did get this done before Patreon finished processing the other payments… I’m happily surprised. The set is 38 images with one alternate ending image for the unused stuff category on Patreon. The set itself will be sent out to patrons whenever payments finish processing… along with the Patreon polls for the month. There are four previews below, two story and two clean images. I am going to have to wait and post the other big thing tomorrow; I am too tired to type it today. If you want access to this new set and others before a few months from now, check out my Patreon page and support me! https://www.patreon.com/redleatherartMore support means better content and also that I can stop having to cut things that I want to put in because my hardware can’t do it.

The set entails Tabitha running into Salune while sort of looking for the missing elves and the two of them make a deal, which doesn’t quite work out as planned…

August poll review, new special poll up now.

Hi. This will be quick; there were two polls all last month mostly due to me being injured. One asked about story arc length and the other asked about the sex/story balance in a comic. The sex/story balance landed squarely in the mostly sex area, which is fine as it is what I currently do anyway. The story arc one seemed to prefer longer story arcs; which I will take into consideration later on.

Anyway, here is one of the special things I wanted to do this month; a little special poll asking who you all want to see in a special anniversary image. (Maybe a mini-set if I magically get better mid month.) It will be up for two weeks so vote now and watch for more posts in the coming days about other cool stuff happening.

EDIT 9/3: After yesterday, I will say there is hope. Got dbl old strength meds, doing somewhat ok now for 2nd day in a row in two months, at least so far. RTL 6 story version is 1/4 done, if I stay good I may be able to finish it before patreon even finishes processing payments for last month. To those patrons that stayed, I appreciate your faith/support through this awful time. To those patrons that dropped; I can hardly blame you but it is still quite disappointing, especially considering all that you knew I was planning to do this month for patrons. I hope to post again tomorrow or the day after with something; either RTL 6 previews or the big thing for September.

EDIT 9/5: I am still doing mostly ok physically. RTL 6 story is over halfway done, the other big thing is basically entirely ready. I will try to get RTL 6 finished today if I can, tomorrow if not.
EDIT 9/6: RTL 6 is 80% done… I’m trying to finish it but my leg is acting up atm.

Status update: 8/28

I am doing my best to finish RTL 6 by the end of this month, (the patreon scene preview will likely get bumped again; sorry but it will almost surely be all I can manage to finish RTL 6 this month, if I even can) but unfortunately I am basically back to where I started physically. The medicine only helped as long as it lasted and apparently I can’t use it again and the specialist I saw either can’t or won’t do anything more until I get a scan done. The problem is he didn’t tell me that the first time and now I can’t get any appointments for scans and such for over a week and then I still need another doctors appointment after that sometime to get the results and hopefully some kind of treatment… I may be able to get a scan done later today but that is depending on a great many factors and it will surely cause me a great deal of pain.

Long story short, I hope to finish final renders today and maybe start the postwork if I can hold out long enough. I do not think I can manage another main image set next month if this continues… especially with all the other crap I want to do. I can only hope that something comes up to fix this… it is really starting to wear me down; both physically and spiritually. I am so sick of being in pain almost all the time and stuck in bed and I really want to do other things and work on all this so badly but I just can’t without being in more pain. RTL 6 so far is really nice I think, hopefully you all will think so as well whenever it gets done. It will almost certainly be over 30 images.

EDIT 8/29: Got an MRI done yesterday, tons of pain. ~~Bad enough to get different pain meds again; I will see if these actually help~~. Scan being done means I may be able to get some actual treatment next week… maybe? RTL 6 final renders are sort of done; I could stop here but I want to add four more images. I will do the best I can to finish the postwork before the end of the month.

RE EDIT: Previously mentioned meds didn’t help again; so I had to go to ER again, got better pain meds, they seem to work this time. Should let me work tomorrow/day after if all goes well. Initial impressions of my scan aren’t great per se; PA said it is a long term issue but it could be treated, so I will see this coming Wednesday.

EDIT 8/30: Couldn’t help myself again, even in horrible pain I added almost eight images instead of the four I planned… Final renders are done, early postwork done, clean versions of each image is done… story versions sort of in progress. i haven’t slept in three days and I am kind of falling apart, even with the pain under control right now. Doing the best I can; set ended up with I think 38 images and one alternate ending image for patreon unless I miscounted. Note: there is going to be a post/content bomb here in the next few days whether this gets finished in time or not. RTL four gets a free release, old polls get reviewed and a special poll will go up; and finally a very special thing will get started early next month. (Patrons know what I mean.)

EDIT 8/31: I just can’t do it today; I’m in so much pain today I can’t sit at all. RTL 6 will have to go into next month again. I’ll get everything situated later this week whenever I can.

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.
