Status Report (and some Amy shots)

Sorry about the low post rate this month, I'll try to get another post out in the next couple days before the month ends with a teaser on the Julie stuff.
Definitely been making progress! I'm trying not to share TOO many spoilers from the beach update so that you guys still have plenty of new imagery and neat surprises when the update finally hits. But here's some Amy stuff, including a slight revamp of the previous commission (however, it will not actually replace the version I first shared with you. I'm using both).

The first image is a "transition image" between them kissing and sex. In general, I wish I had more patience for shots involving the tearing off of clothing, but it's generally a huge pain. I will try to figure stuff like that out more in the future, especially on my next project. For now, gotta cut some corners.

As for the animation, you likely recognize it, but I wasn't quite happy with it and I wanted to try to do some more work. I experimented with layering extra camera angles in.

But the true drastic measure I took here was baking the shading on Amy's body into an actual texture. This was the first time I'd ever even considered this as a possibility! Now the animation doesn't flicker, and I was able to fix the shading in certain areas with custom texture painting (for example, her neck in the original version has much worse shading).

...Unfortunately, editing the boob jiggling itself to get more rippling action proved goddamn fucking impossible without making the whole thing look...worse. I thought it was just the shading holding me back, but there's some finicky behavior in this scene that I just can't afford to waste too much time dealing with.

So I'm signing off on it. I decided I can use this version for the slow and medium speeds, while the original can be the fast version (because I think the original does a better job of suggesting hard impact).

Status Report

Amy's sex scene is close, at least visually. The skeleton for Julie's sex scene is largely written (I haven't decided EXACTLY what every image will be, but I plotted out their whole buildup conversation and have a good sense for how it'll all go).

And beyond that, there's not a lot else to the beach scene to worry about. But I would like a cool shot of Flin and Stella watching the sunset together, if I can make a good-looking sunset.

I'll share some Julie beach stuff before the month is over ~💕🎶
