Progress 03.11.2025

 Hello all!

Wow, okay, so... the weekend was pain. Such a simple scene required the entire weekend. Still, it’s about where I should be realistically. I just hope things will be easier going forward, but I doubt it... 26 scenes left to render, will less since I’m doing one scene as we speak, so 25? There are 41 scenes in total (including variants) if I counted right. So, the progress is steady. I’ve been doing coding while I render and probably start doing post work on the renders already done as well.

Writing? Writing is where it needs to be. I wanted to be further, but the posing issues ate some time. Still not complaining, I should be able to write some more tonight once I start to... dabble with the "animations"... of sorts.

And a preview! One of the few safe for public posts. Ayaka, I like her. Granted, I’m biased there. She grew a lot as a character from what she started. Snotty noble, to a more sensible person. It is a bit bittersweet to end a story, but if there weren’t an end to a story, there wouldn’t be new stories told.

Right. Location... location... location... Urban environments are both a blessing and a curse. You can have action or fight scenes on the streets, and it can easily give some variation to the scenery. But at the same time, most supernatural beings aren’t stupid. If they get exposed, everyone will come to hunt them, thus their survival chances are reduced. So, on top of streets and whatnot, you are going to need "isolated" locations. Warehouses, factories, abandoned places, sewers, thinks like that, where you can stage those action sequences. And that means a lot of testing what works and what doesn’t work. There is an issue or two with this environment, but nothing I can’t fix easily. So it’s in the maybe pile. And Graves and Cross? Yes, well, I did say ages ago that there are people within various governmental organizations that know the "truth". Graves and Cross happens to be two of those people, which is why they aren’t too shocked if evidence goes up in flames. They know that it might turn unhealthy for them... Right a short break, then back to rendering.
