Progress 24.03.2023

40 minutes to load all the characters I need to the scene... whee... Anyway. Hello all!

I'll start distributing update 27 next week. It will be done so that all patrons will get it before the end of the month. So there is that, soon out, relatively anyway.

Let's tackle writing first for a change. Surprisingly, or maybe not, I'm actually right where I want to be. I had doubts as I missed one day because I slept a bit longer than usual. Which in itself isn't a bad thing. Anyway, I'm happy with it right now.

And rendering... I'm done with the variants. But sadly, working with Daz is like trying to herd cats high on catnip at times. But overall, it's okay. I'm heading in the direction I need to be in at this stage of the week. Now just need to get the dang thing to load the scene up properly... Aaaany day now...

Anyway. Renders, I honestly hate it when I can't show what I'm working on. But it won't be too long until I can show something... maybe.

There is one render left (I think) of this series, which I'll post on Monday. I had fun doing this, in a sense. It's "canon," but at the same time, it's one of those pieces that won't come up in the next one, visually, that is. I'm fairly certain there are mentions of it.

A couple notes about the world. It isn't going to be a "standard" fantasy world as is. While there is some trade between the races, it depends on the region and the relationship between the nations. And this also varies within the races (and their nations). While there might be two dwarf clans, they won't be the same. One can be the "standard" dwarf you see in most fantasy worlds, and the other might be a slaver. But that being said, I probably need to do some sort of lore post closer. Although the funny thing is, I kind of suck at making them. Why? Because it's all in my notes or in my head. So I know everything, but it's more challenging to put them into suitable words for others. I might have one word in my notes, and that word triggers my brain to remember what I thought about that subject.

And that above rambling might give an indication of the reaction. Dwarfs, for some reason or another, aren't looked friendly in that part of the world.

And as a bonus, those on the discord have already seen this. It's one of those things when you see something and know it "belongs" to someone. And in this case, I saw that outfit, and Susan came to my mind. So, there you have it.
