andiguinness: Update on Awakening Apologies to everyone. Been busy the last several weeks with Affect3D. So I haven’t been the most…active here. But still, there is stuff to discuss! (And check out my Affect3D year in review here!) Lust Unleashed: Awakening is entering final stages. I will complete my final revisions hopefully next week, and I said to @thedude3dx that he can move forward with renders. I’m aiming for a mid-January release. We’ll have a release date sometime next week. After that, I will finally work on Emily’s Negotiation. That has been something I’ve been wanting to go back to. With @jimjim3dx working on other things, I wanted to at least get the lettering down on this, because it’s extremely important. I intend to finish the project with Jim some time in 2017, come hell or high water. What happens after that? Well, I won’t go into detail, but I intend to address some issues I’ve had with collaborations in the past. One of the biggest bottlenecks for me is that a lot of artists often don’t have the time nor resources to work on a project with someone besides themselves. For this reason, many artists just strike it out on their own, with limited input from anyone else. In the event they do collaborate, it’s often with a limited amount of creative input and a larger financial cut, since they put a lot of the legwork in. So what’s someone like me to do in this situation? The best solution is to contribute more directly. This is easier said than done (as exemplified by my efforts with JimJim), but I have another method I’m cooking up. It’ll take some time and money, but it will not only address this bottleneck, but also serve as a benefit to both Affect3D and the 3DX community. Any other collabs in 2017? Maybe. Alongside the fact that The Dude and I have a lot of ideas to present and perpetuate in the Lust Unleashed universe, I have two potential partners in the future. One I’ve worked with in the past, but it’s highly dependent on his schedule, and he’s been busy with other projects which I cannot talk about publicly. The other I won’t discuss…yet. There’s been discussions, but they’ve yet to bear fruit. Stories: The Story of Vi will get done at some point. Not sure when. Note that I’m creating a first chapter with this one, and there may be others. However, not sure how I’ll approach them, given how I may have overreached there (which I will not discuss here). There’s another story that may take text form first, but it’s also being considered for a possible 3DX project. It is heavily inspired by one of my favorite h-mangakas, Azuki Kurenai. Themes: Any suggestions for Tumblr theme sources, premium or otherwise? My tumblr could use a little redesign. The gothy vibe can only stick for so long. That’s all for now. Take care! -- source link
