PATREON UPDATE FEBRUARY 23

Hey-o! Hope you're all doing well. It's time for another update on what I've been up to lately.   

February was another busy and exciting month for me! I challenged myself to learn some new things in order to create my first clothing item for V_Day, expanded on some of my unfinished video ideas, and even gave my experimental Tifa an update.  

I also want to give a shoutout to Rubikon, D-Rock, and Spooch for their recent help with my workflow in Blender and Substance Painter. These changes are taking a bit longer to implement for the final wrap-up of NEONxCLARA, but it will ultimately be worth it for the future of my project as a whole. The recent improvements have helped me operate more independently and not rely on other’s dependencies moving forward.

To be more specific, licensing issues can be frustrating and time-consuming. So, with Clara, I will need to release her nipple textures as a free texture pack. It was really the ONLY way I could deliver the graphical fidelity necessary. But, the good news is that I will be making even more high-quality nipple textures for all of my models moving forward. I want to assure you that I'm not slacking off, and with every delay, I'm adding extra things like custom normal maps and alphas to enhance Clara’s texture quality. She will be SO sharp when she's ready, and I'm excited to share her with you all soon!  

Now, let's talk about what's next. There are a few hopeful models in the beta vault that are nearly ready and require far less artwork than Clara did. I have my sights set on finishing CJ99 as soon as practical after Clara. Then, March is Elf month! That's right, I have three elves planned for release, along with some videos and even a VR scene. Get ready for some enchanting adventures, my friends!  

As always, I'm learning something new with each challenge and improving my skills. I appreciate all of your continued support. Stay safe and healthy friends.  -SYN
