9/2024 Release 10: Ellie
Discord & Archive have been updated!
Cute and simple :) one of those cases where I got lucky with the HDRI settings and a few assist lights

9/2024 Release 9: Ada
Discord & Archive have been updated with two parts!
As promised because Ada won the previous Poll :), dw, my next renders will have a bit more variety, debating between a Juno or Ellie render....
Getting back into things and I spent a lot of time messing with the lighting here, probably like 15+ lights in the scene though it came out okay. I still need to develop my skin shader further and especially for re2 ada because it still feels off. Having finally done a cute solo render with her I can start thinking about making some re4 stuff for next year(?) because I still want to do one more Mr.X piece before the end of 2024
8/2024 News & Updates
*(FOR ANY IOS USERS!) You may have heard by now of Patreon changes related to the Apple store such that any new subscriptions purchased through the IOS app will have a 30% fee attached meaning (in the case of my page), you will be charged more IF you purchase through the IOS app from Nov 2024 onwards, for this reason it is recommended to use the web browser version if you are in a situation of re-subscribing to my page in the future and just something to be aware of in general. If you are already subscribed then there is nothing to worry about.
*As I have now caught up on the older renders that I wanted to re-render in 4K, the pacing of this page will go back to normal and as mentioned on my welcome post, my goal is to post 2 new renders a month, but aiming for more whenever possible. I appreciate your patience while I've been catching up on these re-renders and while there are 3-4 renders I'd still like to revisit, I want to put that on hold until next year and minimize in general. On a personal note I feel like I hit my peak sometime last Fall and want to strive to be more patient in developing/polishing renders for better quality.
- Following up on the previous note, my last two re-renders of Evelynn and Ashley have now been added to the Archive and Discord.
- Thanks to everyone who voted on the previous poll, I'll be working on a solo Ada render next, then probably Juno after that (?).
- Reminder for any new subscribers that you can get full releases through the Discord or Archive. Instructions can be found in the "Welcome!" Post.
8/2024 Release 8: Ada (Bonus)
Discord & Archive have been updated with three new angles of the previous Ada release!
I also see that Ada is winning the poll and am going to be working on a solo render for her and trying a new lingerie look you can see below :)
8/2024 Character Poll
In a state of indecisiveness and I need your help! I'll make a render of the winner next month (Sept), and will keep the general popularity in mind for future stuff. Keeping this poll up for 3 days!

Ten 4K Re-renders have been added to the Archive!
Almost caught up in all the re-renders I wanted to do, these were pretty straightforward since I was mostly happy with them and just needed to re-render and apply post processing changes with minor tweaks to compensate for lighting differences. The last two will be Evelynn and Ashley (🌶️) and we'll back to normal.
8/2024 Release 8: Ada
Discord & Archive have been updated with two parts!
A bit of the old and new, this was a remake mixed with a brand new front view render. Redoing the coom effects was fun and I promise its the last time I'm remaking this one. Expressions remain difficult as ever so I cheated with the closed eye look lol.
Taking a breather for a few days then planning to finish a Jinx render before the end of the month! Also my Ada renders have been really Mr.X focused lately but I'd like to try some cute/sexy solo stuff when I get back to her.
8/2024 4K Re-renders update
Reminder that the following 4K renders have been added to the Archive this month! I have a few more that I'd like to get done before the end of the month, I'm just working on a 2-part Ada render atm and hoping to finish it in a few days.
8/2024 Release 7: D.va
Discord & Archive have been updated!
I felt like I got better lighting on Genji than D.va in this one 😭 but have wanted to make more stuff with him for a while. I got a decent lighting setup but struggled with various sci fi scenebuilds and some volumetrics so opted to salvage the render as is in post instead of letting it go to waste. Aiming to go back to my usual quality with my next render 🤞
8/2024 Survey: 4K re-renders
The Image below is my priority list for 4K re-renders, these ones will have little to no modifications because I'm already content with them.
I'd like to get 3-4 of these re-rendered in 4k this month, which ones would you like to be done first?
You can respond here or on the Discord polls channel
P.S I added a Rachel 4K re-render to the archive now as well
8/2024 Release 6: Ada
Discord & Archive have been updated!
Ada Obsession continues 🙃
7/2024 Rachel Render Breakdown
I just posted a 3000 word render breakdown on my discord (Bonus Channel). I go over my workflow in terms of: Shading, Concept, Posing/Reference, Scenebuilding, Camera work, Lighting, Sculpting & Post and have included screenshots!
7/2024 News & Updates
The end of the first month of my Patreon is near, so I wanted to thank everyone who joined, whether you only plan on subbing for a month or keeping it ongoing, I appreciate your support!
A few reminders...
- The releases on Discord & the Archive are both 4K, however the discord version is compressed, differences shouldn't be noticeable but just letting you know
* I went through my Archive requests recently, and noticed some people have not submitted a request, please make sure to read the "Welcome!" Post for instructions if you would like access, if there are any personal reasons for not joining then np
- My Current plans for the next few weeks are to work on 2 remakes of previous renders, then draft/work on my bts breakdown, I don't really write often so it shouldn't take longer than a week?
- Thanks to your support, I now have Rigid's Ada Model!
7/2024 Release 5: Juno
Discord & Archive have been updated!
Got to push past my comfort zone with this one, tried a more stylized panoramic look/dynamic shot. Scene concept is kinda ??? but made use of some cool smoke nodes for the scene bg (which made for rough render times...), scifi corridor from blenderkit and various dust/smoke fx images for the foreground. My next plans will be to post 1-2 revised renders and start a draft on my bts render breakdown.
7/2024 Release 4: Ada
Discord & Archive have been updated!
I had fun doing the scenebuild for this render and had a neat layout of props, but nailing the core focus of Ada and her pose/expression was difficult, went through a couple revisions but onto the next. Thinking of Juno, then a remake and then working on a breakdown of my previous Rachel render.
7/2024 Survey: Behind the Scenes Breakdown
I'd like to test making a bonus in the form of a render breakdown, going over lighting w/ screenshots, thoughts, post-process, etc. Would you be interested, and is there any particular render you'd like to see a behind the scenes look at? I'd like some suggestions and will choose 1-2 of them, thanks! You can respond here or on the Discord
2024-07-17 15:31:00 +0000 UTC View Post7/2024 Release 3: Tracer
Discord & Archive have been updated with two versions of this release!
Tried a different perspective and more bj render practice! Scene building is a pain so just tried to get something in the background instead of a generic void..
7/2024 Release 2: Claire
Archive has been updated with two versions of this release!
Wanted to try some lewder style stuff, though couple renders are generally a weaker area of mine that I'd like to get better at. I know those stockings and sleeves make no sense but I'm just down bad for that look lol. I'll be revising some older renders now, shouldn't take too long unless I get carried away
6/2024 Survey: 4K re-renders
Hey! I was curious if there are any renders of mine you would like to see re-rendered in 4K?
As a reminder of my last post, going back to older files may mean the final image will be 5-10% different from the original, but I will try to keep them similar as possible. I'd like to take 1-2 suggestions and have them finished within the month alongside my next release. You can respond here or in the discord polls channel.
2024-06-29 22:53:39 +0000 UTC View Post6/2024 Release 1: Symmetra
Archive has been updated!
There you can also find several other renders which have been re-rendered in 4k. It's been a bit of a learning experience to get a handle on the 4k workflow as I had to learn that even with identical lighting setups there can be small light calculation differences. Alongside this, there were minor revisions so the images will be extremely similar(85-90%) to the original but not 100% identical. This shouldn't happen in the future as I have a better understanding of how to go about it now :)
