So I realize I haven't actually been releasing much in terms of finished products (but expect something quite soon in the form of audio for The Intruder along with an AV bonus clip) but don't fret! Definitely been working on a lot of things to get my work to a new level!
As you can see in the primary picture above, I have started to use Trello and it's been helping me keep all of my ideas organized. The list is MUCH longer than that (about 52 entries so far!). You can get an idea of some of the things on the list above. Maybe you'll spot something exciting?~ ;3
As you saw recently, I've been working on a new Jax model, which I've dubbed Jax 2.0. I've also begun to modify the orca model I got. He will be my FIRST model with a full internal system.
Yup! So I'm happy with his progress and I've got BIG plans for this one. Orcas are a super big yes for me and vore.
I've also got a plan to do a quick POV thing with the wolf :3 Something I can put up on youtube even! It'll be an extension to The Offering but will be a standalone video and not part of the interactive.
I'm also working on the av scene with Malf, another extension to The Intruder, but like the wolf one, this one will be a standalone video as well. And obviously won't be on YouTube lol
I also want to revise my website, and the sites I post on in order to look more professional and user friendly. If you have any suggestions on that, just let me know!
Lastly, I wanted to thank you all for your support and I hope you're all staying safe out there in these weird times.
Cheers!

I've been wanting to make a new Jax model for a long time now and with this extra time, I can finally work on him! SUPER pleased with how this is progressing :3
Big special thanks to Acidic for his excellent critique and guidance!

Got an updated version of Malfaren from Zairiza. Redid the textures/materials for Redshift and wanted to do a mawshot render ^^
Enjoy!
Ps... This new rig might allow me to do the AV I wanted to do before but couldn't. Gonna try it tomorrow!

EXCITING NEWS! I had a talk with my boss, and he had a talk with the boss boss... and they gave me a different position at the dealership (I was in car sales) and brought me down to part time like I wanted! The position is called "Delivery Coordinator" which basically involves me going over the customer's new vehicle so they understand how it works before they leave the dealership. The job works out nicely for me because I actually get paid hourly with a small bonus for every car I go over.
My new schedule now allows 3 or 4 days off with alternating Saturdays! Should help me with getting some projects finally wrapped up. For the first week or so, I think what I'm going to do is organize myself and figure out things I would like to achieve in the next half a year and give everything a sort of priority rating. That way I have clear goals that I can work towards. I might also utilize Trello more (yes I actually do have one). I also have a small tablet I got for an old job that I never really use anymore so I might figure out how I can use it for my art stuff. Maybe as my organizer or something.
I want to thank you all for joining me on this ride while I transition to my full time art goal. My move out date for my apartment is towards the end of May and that's when I'll be fully transitioned to art. (that's the goal anyways). If any of you have any ideas or suggestions on how I can get organized or things I can do to improve the layout of my website or how I offer my content, LET ME KNOW. I'm all ears like a fennec right now <3
Cheers~

The opportunity is nigh where I feel comfortable transitioning to full time art. I firstly want to thank everyone who supports me via patreon and watches my YouTube videos! That is what makes it possible for me to reach this decision.
So, I'm going to align the transition of employment with my expected move out date. I'd like to move away from the city to somewhere more cozy and affordable to help make everything just a little easier.
What does this mean for you and my other supporters?
More art! More animations! And would like to start working on games!
Over the past few months I've been able to acquire fun new assets and I've started creating better models that are slowly being fleshed out. Moving to full time art would allow me to finish these exciting characters much quicker.
What can you do? Support me on patreon! Or if you're already supporting me then just hang on for the ride :3
The closer I can get to my original intended goal of $3000/mo to go full time, the easier the process will end up being.
Final comments, thank you all so much. My patrons, watchers, commissioners, sponsors, YouTube viewers and followers, all of you. I've been building my brand for over THREE years now and I cannot believe I've gotten to this point. I truly appreciate all of you! I will be updating you all periodically on the transition process and how the move goes too.
CHEERS!

January's intruder update went public today (should have been Sunday but I'm dealing with the flu) and the next update featuring some anal fisting is coming in this next weekend.
After that release, I'll be updating my computer and everything to Windows 10 in order to stay current. A lot of my programs are now falling behind on updates because I'm still on 7 and some programs no longer work at all.
See you on the other side!

Who knew being so small would be so dangerous! And you thought you could stay under the cover of the foliage like a small rodent. Futile!
Enjoy this wonderful 4K image. The raptor got updated/higher resolution textures which I've applied there. Also, acquired some nice plants!
Cheers~
(small update on The Intruder. It's done rendering! Will be putting it together these next couple days and hopefully release it by Sunday)

I'm finally out of training at my day job. It's tough though. I'm commission based and January and February are the slowest months of the year and yet I still have to be there about 50-55 hours per week. It's not too much physically, but mentally and emotionally I'm being drained. Thursday and Sundays (sometimes only Sundays) are my days off and really only days I can put any work into animations.
I'm at a crossroads. My Patreon income is getting up there (and I really want to offer more) but I still need the day job to survive the bills. I think after I'm done with The Intruder, I'll be doing smaller/shorter animations so I can release content more frequently. Because rendering for over 20 days is getting a bit old. XD
I would also like to make my Patreon more affordable to more people. Offering the same rewards for less. Depending on how things proceed the next few months, I believe I can switch to art full time and really pump out content.
Some exciting news with all of this! I'm going to be collaborating with SkaryUdra, who is an amazing rigger. I also have a fair number of models getting made. Here's a small list:
Jax 2.0 (snow leopard)
Dreason (lizard)
Vin (Feral western dragon)
Anyways, let me know if there's anything I can do to improve my Patreon for you guys or my work in general. I'm always open for suggestions!
Thanks~

Those golden eyes draw you in, tempting you to get closer. Can you resist him? His silk soft white fur sifts through your fingers, the heat of his body soaking into yours. Meet Jax Cane~
Experimenting with the new Jax model and decided to pose him! One thing lead to another...
Here are some wips of the model!

I've got a shop! Check out the products I currently have available and feel free to make suggestions!
https://spruce-art.com/shop/
I will be adding percent/dollar off coupons for each tier as an added reward too! Be patient though! I haven't figured out how to automate the coupon creation process and there are currently 288 of you :P
So if you see something you like, I'd suggest waiting for the coupon to show up in your Inbox!
Cheers and enjoy!

GUYS! I can't thank you all enough! We've reached the first financial goal! I can honestly say that I can now comfortably invest in sweet models and assets for animations, as well as better hardware to improve rendering performance.
First I will probably start seeking out character modelers and gathering quotes for new prey characters and probably a pred character. My goal is to get characters on the more realistic and high detail end of the spectrum.
I would LOVE to get something this awesome, but we'll see. That's where I'm aiming though.
For the next pred, I want to bring Vin to life. (My dragon character). I had started a long while ago on his model but I just don't have the time. I'm gonna look for someone to do his too at a high quality as well.
The design quality goal is gonna be akin to Momma Rex from Ice Age 3.
ANYWHO...
Thanks again everyone! I'll keep plugging away with the interactive content for the meantime. I do have ambitions to start a 2D game eventually when I can afford more time. But seeing as how I'm averaging about 50 hours per week at my day job, it can be difficult lol.
I'll keep you all updated as the I find artists to commission modeling work. Let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions for my Patreon or artwork.
Thank you!!! <3

Gonna make this a $5+ Patreon benefit. These downloads still launch your browser but it should work nearly 100% of the time since it's not fetching data from a server.

I am planning to turn this into an interactive animation! With a heavy emphasis on POV!!
I'm going to be creating a promotion related to this for this month to help fund the creation of this project.
The dragon belongs to Malfaren on FA/Twitter! Big thanks to him for letting me use his model~
Model was made by Zairiza on FA!

I want to thank everyone who was part of my Patreon during September! As you know, I was running a special promotion where you'd be listed in the credits of the first project involving Ranger, the horse!
What to expect: In the coming weeks, I'll be wrapping up his modeling and then I'll be shipping him off for rigging by another individual. In the meantime, probably within the next week or so, I'll be running a poll to figure out what you guys would like to see in that first animation~
Thanks again!
